Just FYI, while the concentration camps in the US were absolutely inexcusable, destroyed communities, forced people to sell their homes and businesses and took people away from the lives they had built and everything the knew and loved, they were not extermination camps.

Of the 120,000 people unjustly incarcerated, 1,862 people died in the camp hospitals in the four years the camps operated. The current US mortality rate is about 0.8% (about 800 deaths per 100,000 people per year). So for 120,000 people (using today's standard, I can't find the rate for the 1940s), we would expect about 960 deaths per year, or 3840 in all four years.

Again, not condoning the US concentration camps in any way. But they were not death camps.

" Disney's 100.1 Dalmatians "

The noughties, the teenies, and the twenties.

The site has a clear mission of "fighting the woke." It's main purpose is to rank movies and games on a scale from "Woke👹" to "Based😊" so that users don't have to be triggered by wokeism. So yeah, I wouldn't expect high quality reporting.

It’s never a bad idea.

Why is this little shit head continuing to make headlines? Are we that hard up for news? Jesus.

Nice photo though.

(Her theory is vaccines broke his brain, saved you a click)

It's a flower that makes people happy and hungry. God fucking damn it. There is no fucking reason to destroy people's lives over this.

Days before Laundrie killed Petito, police officers pulled them over in Utah after witnesses reported seeing the couple fighting; at least one witness said that they saw Laundrie hit Petito. Police did not interview this witness and instead determined Petito to be the aggressor [...] One of the two officers had a history of allegedly committing domestic violence, including allegations that he threatened to kill his ex-girlfriend when he worked at the police department in another Utah town.

This is a good ruling. Weird title. The first judge this case was brought before said that they couldn’t claim sexual assault, only medical malpractice because they were seeking medical care when it happened.

This ruling says sexual assault is sexual assault, even in the context of a doctor’s appointment. You wouldn’t think we need to clarify that, but here we are.

Medical malpractice suits are almost never successful, so being free to get out from under that umbrella is progress. Sad that this is still only a civil case, I would want a criminal case as well. He deserves prison and not just a fine.

Honestly I think I would mostly use it for naps. So many naps.

Fuck that guy.

How in the world is Ashley Madison still a thing?? I thought it was toast ten years ago:

Ashley Madison has long been a target for extortionists and moral crusaders, with the site suffering a massive data breach back in 2015 after getting hacked. The anonymous hackers demanded the site be taken down or they’d release detailed information about users. After about a month, the hackers made good on their threat, releasing roughly 10 gigabytes of information on the site’s 37 million users. That led to high-profile consequences, including everything from the resignation of a state attorney in Florida to the suicide of a pastor in New Orleans.

Did they pay for their own R&D? Usually that get socialized and then the profits are privatized, it's the American Way.

There are definitely areas of California where going less than 10 miles over the speed limit will put you well under the flow of traffic in every lane. If you're not going 80 on 80, you're gonna have a bad time.

Why do I have to tell my computer several time per week that I do not wish to let the X box app make changes to my computer?? I've never had anything to do with an X box. Oh, now you're going to make my computer unusably slow unless I update and.. what's that.. ? I can't fucking update unless I ALLOW X BOX APP TO MAKE CHANGES TO MY COMPUTER??? Fuck you windows 11.

I don't think prison should be punitive, but I REALLY don't think jail should be punitive. You haven't been proven guilty of anything when you're in jail.

All of the food served in prison/jail is dogshit and it's not ok. Edible food is a human right. People with ethically based diet restrictions should be protected the same way that religiously based diet restrictions are.

Belief in a make believe sky-daddy doesn't make one persons ethical dietary choices more important than another's. Maybe the Satanic Temple can step in and help out the incarcerated vegans. That seems up their alley.

It's a slot on a camera that you can use to attach accessories, like a microphone or flash. A hot shoe provides power to the accessory, a cold shoe does not.

I'm a small breasted woman who does not wear a bra. The reasons of practicality and comfort are described below for bigger chested people (I didn't see mentioned that if they are really big and you try to run without serious, sometimes two sports bras on they can fly up and hit you in the face). I do sometimes accidentally hit my nipple on something, which I don't like.

But in my experience, people get upset at seeing boob shaped boobs. Strangers tell me I should be wearing a bra. They want bra shaped boobs. Nipples are scary.

I haven't worn one since middle school when it was new and fun and made me feel "grown up" (but uncomfortable). But some years back I got shingles and apparently permanent nerve damage on the nerve group that would be right under the bra band on my back and anything irritating it makes me feel like I'm on fire so it's just not going to happen. Certainly not in the name of sparing the general public the scandal of seeing boob shaped boobs in a loose T shirt. At the very most I will use silicone tape to hide my nipples in very formal situations.

So you're saying that.... video killed the radio star..?

This reminds me of the time San Francisco decided to do something about it's human-feces-in-the-BART-escalator-wells problem, not by making public restrooms available to unsheltered folk, but building stupid awnings to keep people from pooping inside. The awnings cost more than the toilets would have and people just pooped on the sidewalks instead. ℹ️🫶🌉😀

I'm cold girl until the second I fall asleep, then my body heats up like a nuclear reactor and if I've fallen asleep with a heating pad (because cold) I wake up in 20 minutes all hot and A N G E R Y like the hulk.

Wouldn't this curdle? I can kind of see how it would be a distant cousin of a creamsicle or a root beer float, but I think it's going to get chunky. Maybe the "natural lemon flavor" is refined enough that it wont, I don't know. I don't have either ingredient on hand to try it for science.

PB&J is like, one of the cheapest meals you can make, right? What if it WASN'T?

A homeless man was shot because there were too many cops around.

14th and Vliet is near the secure zone of the Republican National Convention, but we have no reason to believe this incident is connected to events at the RNC.

TMJ4 spoke to two people, who said they witnessed the shooting, telling TMJ4 they saw a man walk across Vliet St., and said police followed him across the street, and shot the man in the back.

According to the witnesses, the man lived at a nearby homeless encampment with them and was just trying to cross the street when police shot him.

"More than 4,000 additional law enforcement officials are in Milwaukee for the RNC, and we've long feared how this heavy police presence could increase the risk of deadly police encounters, especially by out-of-state officers who don’t know and aren’t accountable to our community. We offer our condolences to the friends and family of the person killed."

It bothers you even when you do tip. I always just tip 20% when I pay, before any service has happened, but I still get like 6 texts after my order has arrived asking me to "rate and tip!" "Don't forget to tip your driver!!" "HEY FUCKER!! GIVE US ALL YOUR MONEY!!" Then at some point "Your driver says: Thanks for the tip! Don't forget to rate your order from Jack in the Box!" I'm not going to fucking rate my food from Jack in the Box. It's deep fried shame, it's delicious and I don't want to talk about it. Leave me alone please, it's the middle of the night and I'm full of jalapeno poppers and onion rings and shame.

If I have to log into fucking facebook to see a goddamn menu I'm leaving.

I grew up with this McDonald's, it had a jukebox. My sister had life threatening food allergies, so we only ever went there to get orange juice, but I still loved it.

I'm sleepy and read that as "Biden voters, how do you dry your ass afterward?" and was very confused. But like.. not as confused as I probably should have been.

From the other place:

Princess Kalina's altered nose appearance stems from a series of health issues rather than cosmetic surgery mishaps. Initially, she experienced a seemingly minor injury that led to broken teeth from a fall. The dental repairs introduced a severe infection in her jaw, which required extended treatment and a complex operation to prevent further spread to other parts of her body. The lasting impact of this infection has notably affected the appearance of her nose.

Can't tell you how disappointed I am that isn't just a chart of increasingly tubby kittens.

Still a weird thing to say.

As a treat.

Lol, same. Oh wait... fuck.. I'm 40.

Kittens are so good at falling asleep. I once watch a kitten wake from a nap, do a big, paws forward, butt in the air stretch, and fall asleep in that position before he finished. Purr-snoring and all.

Stay active. It really is “use it or lose it” with physical and mental abilities.

My aunt and uncle are both 90. My uncle has always used a treadmill or standing desk for his computer and pulls long hours in front of it still doing pro bono legal work even though he’s been “retired” for several decades. He walks to the grocery store and carries the groceries home. He walks barefoot around the block every morning and has a body weight fitness routine he does every other day. He’s doing just fine, his brain wheels turn a little slower but they work just as well as ever.

My aunt got very sedentary around age 75. Her mother developed dementia around that age and she just sort of settled in and waited for it to come. Maybe it is hereditary and there was no point in doing anything else, maybe not. She’s wheelchair bound now, just from lack of strength, not really any medical issue. She can take a few supported steps to transfer, but that’s it. Her short term memory is gone, I go have lunch with her twice a week and she knows who I am, but as I’m leaving she’ll say she’s sorry we couldn’t have had lunch while I was there and it’s a shame I can’t visit more often. It’s not really out of bounds for 90, but I’d rather take my uncles route than hers.

Shhhh.... they're raging against the machine. Adults just don't get them, man!
