I’ve done that. I’ve gone to rescues and adopted a cat. I’ve gone to animal controls. I’ve foster failed. There’s no bad way to get chosen by a cat. But yeah, getting chosen by a stray on the street has got to be a really special feeling.

That’s not a stray cat. That’s your cat now. You’ve been chosen. Conrats.

Ah, oops. I should pay closer attention. I’ll leave the post and take my beatings.

That’s a really dumb argument. A person complains about paying for something that they’ll never get, and the IndyStar’s response is to complain about paying for something that they’ve already benefited from, and that was paid for by others. I would further add, paying for schools is a great thing even if you don’t have and will never have kids. Without good schools, everyone else’s kids will probably grow up to be conservatives or editors at the IndyStar.

I’m not gonna delude myself into thinking this is gonna shift this backwards-ass state I call home, but at least, maybe, some people will open their eyes.

Maybe a few, here and there, but mostly they’ll be like Roseanna here.

Roseanna Groves, who lives in Webster Springs and is related by marriage to Beckstrom was outraged that the man charged in the attack — an Afghan national who worked with the CIA — had been let into the U.S. at all. She blamed former President Biden , although he was let in under Trump’s administration.

How subtle… no one would ever refer to Jews as rats, right? Right?

To be fair, anyone who uses their birthday for a pin or password is a fool.

Reed said that the briefing confirmed his “worst fears about the nature of the Trump Administration’s military activities, and demonstrates exactly why the Senate Armed Services Committee has repeatedly requested—and been denied—fundamental information, documents, and facts about this operation ."

Every single Republican in the House and Senate is responsible for this. They are allowing Trump to do literally anything he wants militarily. No evidence has been provided to oversight to justify these attacks in the first place, and now a clear war crime has been committed and still they do nothing. Not only are they unwilling to impeach him, they are unwilling to take any steps to rein in his military abuses in any way at all.

Non-fascists in the military who don’t like where this nation is going are bailing out. Fascists in the military are getting nice retention bonuses. And oodles of new fascists are signing up because they like the odds that that they will get to murder people, maybe even liberals, gays, and trans people in US cities.

“Sounds better every time I hear it!” - Pete Hegesth probably.

Someone needs to go back to civics class and learn what the Supremacy Clause actually means.

This, right here, is why the Internet should be banned free and uncensored!

Autotune is not driving up electricity costs for everyone whether they use it or not. AI is.

American households have seen their electricity bills rise 30% since 2021. This is contributing heavily to rising cost-of-living concerns across the country. At the center of these price hikes is the AI revolution, and the sector’s projected expansion means the increased costs are unlikely to level off any time soon.

The AI data centers sector, hungry for power, which accounts for much of the increased energy demand, is projected to undergo double-digit annual growth through the end of the decade. This far outpaces what the existing electrical grid and its operators are prepared to manage. Consumers are finding themselves footing the bill for the excess strain on the system. A study published by Carnegie Mellon University and North Carolina State University predicted an increase in household energy costs of 8 percent nationally by 2030, with up to 25 percent increases in select regional markets.

At some point, people will get sick of this AI nonsense and stop allowing the data centers in their communities.

It’s basic libertarianism. They want to get rid of all regulations and let businesses do whatever they want. The bottom line is all that matters to them. They want to remove the requirements for these safety features will make it less expensive to manufacture cars, but it won’t lower the costs. Manufactures will just pocket those savings without passing them on to the consumer. And then they’ll move on to removing more regulations.

They’re not missing the point. They are actively obfuscating the real point so they can use the issue to push their agenda.

“Ya think?!” - The rest of the world.

Follow them home, yeah, but then just get a shovel. Then every time they shit on your sidewalk, scoop it up and put it on their own porch.

Maybe they had a lawn sprinkler set up there that over the years washed the stain off the fence where it was hitting.

If I’m reading the article right, it is not a law on the books.

Over 30 Oklahomans of various faiths or no religious affiliation had sued State Department of Education leaders in October 2024, arguing that the Bible mandates issued by Walters in June and July 2024 violated the state Constitution’s prohibition on state-established religion.

The Bible requirements were not laws passed by the state legislature. They were mandates issued by then state Superintendent Walters. The new Superintendent, Lindel Fields, and six new members of the board of Education have stated that they will nullify the mandate(s) issued by Walters.

She came to the USA when she was seven years old. She is now a 19 year old college freshmen in Boston trying to fly to her family Thanksgiving celebration in Texas. You should read the article. It’s worth it.

That’s good to know.
