I gotta imagine that after setting foot on another world, everything after that has to be something of a let down. At least he died doing what he loved.

A much unkinder view is he was nothing more than yet another geriatric who shouldn't have been operating a vehicle and it was just good luck that he only killed himself rather than driving his Cadillac into a daycare.

Yeah working big box retail shopping cart hauling duty an elderly man slowly was driving up onto our entrance way which required going over a curb. Yelled and tapped on his window & he reasonably (to him) explained he was picking up his wife, so initially tried to get him to back up then realized he didn’t know what was happening so got him to park and turn off the car & remove keys, until his frantic wife arrived from inside to take over. The whole “farmers market” stereotype clicked as if he’d hit gas would have plowed a lot of people into a concrete wall.

I kept seeing Trump referred to as the “presumptive nominee,” so just for information: The Republican National Convention is scheduled for July 15-18 in Milwaukee. The Democratic National Convention is August 19-22 in Chicago.

Yeah but they’re going to hold a smoke‐filled zoom meeting before then to officially nominate Biden so that he’s eligible* for inclusion on Ohio’s ballot. *Under the prior deadline of August seventh, which has now been pushed back anyway.

It has not been particularly useful as an aid delivery platform. For extra information on the "cover" thing: the pier was in the background of the hostage rescue mission chopper landing, pretty close by. The government is saying that American intelligence was used for the rescue operation (which naturally killed lots of civilians, it's the IDF naturally), but CENTCOM is denying the "pier-as-cover" story: https://twitter.com/CENTCOM/status/1799578307001717226 That's fired up a lot of online sleuthing not buying the CENTCOM story (based on pictures/videos and such) and discarding the CENTCOM numbers they posted a few hours ago for total tons recently delivered. Anything deeper is probably for the Hamas/Israeli thread. facialimpediment fucked around with this message at 05:57 on Jun 9, 2024 |

They all claim that they aren't health care practitioners so you have no expectations of privacy or protections from health care regulations so they can go nuts with whatever you tell them. Same kind of poo poo you always get from government contractors when you let them run services.

Same kind of poo poo you always get from government contractors when you let them run services. Betting it's also one of those deals where lawmakers weren't creative enough in their thinking to make evil poo poo like that explicitly legal. Bonus factor that with the Chevron defense about to die, that's going to knock out a lot of executive-enforced regulations interpreted from poorly-written laws. Extra bonus factor that modern Congress is getting even worse at writing laws.

If it helps any, rich fucks and pharmaceutical executives are still dying, so they haven't figured out how to out-spend death completely yet!
