Ice will deport them before the trial.

How could it be not working when it was working before?

There was an ad campaign for Flexon eyeglass frames that showed a plane flying past a skyscraper while the sky scraper bends out of the way.

My wife had it in her optometry practice on 9/11. She had her staff yank it out and stash it in the back office.

My three kids are in their 20’s. Assuming there are no weapons involved, I’d say they’re safe with any of them.

Bin Laden, Hitler, and Combs would each have a rough night. Lindsay would probably be ok. If necessary, they could restrain her without injuring her.

A work colleague is the president of his HOA board. I get to hear about the other side of the conflicts.

I’m only hearing his side, but the things he tells me about make it seem like some of his neighbors are just idiots.

Like people parking in no-parking areas that are supposed to be kept clear for emergency vehicle access. He’s warned people that they can’t park there, and they treat it like he’s being a fascist. He just doesn’t want to hear their bitching when they get towed.

There’s a rule about not being on or near the power transformer. The reason is because people could be injured. However, when he tells someone to keep their kids off it, he’s being a tyrant.

He’s only the president of the HOA board because no one else wants the job. He’s not running around issuing fines because he doesn’t have time for that shit.

People threaten to sue the HOA for bullshit, and he’s baffled. It’s like they think there’s some income stream apart from the fees they pay. If they sue the HOA, they are suing themselves and their neighbors.

I always think about him when I read people complaining about their HOA.

Don’t get me wrong, I would never buy a property in an HOA, but if they do, it’s not like they’re helpless. They can read the rules, organize a resistance, vote the fascists out. They can take charge. They can show everyone how much better their leadership would be.

Yeah. I learned about it from my father in law.

Because humans are pretty good at recognizing where you’re looking. If you’re staring intently at someone’s ear while you’re talking to them, it will look to them like you’re seeing something behind them. The fact that you’re not looking away will cause them to be concerned about what it is.

A bunch of people used this on me.

It started small. “Can I have something to eat?”, “Can you take me to the doctor?”, “Could you change my diaper?”, next thing I know I’m paying college tuition.

Nah, future me is an asshole, let him deal with the consequences.

Come to think of it, past me was an asshole too.

WHAT WERE YOU DOING ON THE NIGHT OF SEPTEMBER 7TH, 2023?!?!?

What, come on, I was just trying to make conversation!

Better to look at one of their ears. Left or right, it doesn’t matter.

Really freaks them out.

It does get a little more complicated when you’re alone with three kids, but it’s not impossible. Put the kids in the car and walk the cart to the corral. If you’re in a parking lot where it isn’t safe to leave the kids alone in the car for 10 seconds, I’d recommend that you avoid shopping there.

I was at a grocery store that had those. I didn’t realize at first. I figured the wheels just got stuck.

I guess I’m more of a gorilla than they expected, because I just kept pushing it to where I was parked. An employee ran out to unlock it before I ground the wheels flat.

In case you weren’t aware, the cart corral is not there to make it more convenient for the cart wranglers. The reason it’s there is to make it more unlikely that a cart will roll free and slam into a parked car.

The people not returning their carts to the corral are dickheads because the carts they abandon could damage someone else’s car.

The people putting their carts over the curb or in the grass or wherever are lazy, but they are at least considerate enough to make sure the abandoned cart won’t roll into someone.

Um, duh?

As a U.S. citizen, those numbers seem low to me.

You guys should really be much closer to unanimous for this.

Also, President Pedo leaving office doesn’t change anything unless his departure transitions directly into a long prison sentence.

If the world were in any way just, we’d tear down the ones he is building.

Your plan would never work in the U.S. No one would know what a square meter is.

I’ve often thought that the taxes should relate to whether or not the home is occupied.

If you live in it as your primary dwelling, with more than 50% of your time there, then you should pay the normal amount.

If you have someone leasing the house to live in it, then you should pay the same property taxes as if you were living in it yourself. Maybe a bit higher.

If you’re using it as a full time Airbnb, the taxes should be much, much higher.

Unoccupied rental properties or vacation homes should be taxed at the much higher rate to encourage you to either lower the rent or sell it to someone who can live in it.

American schooling is so bad folks don’t even know how to spell 'MURICA!
