Yeah, also when ever he said ''a lot of people don't know this'' he means ''I just learned this a few days ago'' and ''a lot of people are saying'' means ''This is just my opinion''. On the bizarre side of things, ''bigly'' is actually a real word in the English language and he would be using it grammatically correct most times he says it IF that was what he's actually saying, but he not, he's trying to say ''big leauge'' and is almost always using it incorrectly.

He only had a free trial which makes it even crazier. Also I don't know who thought an arbitration demand would apply to food vs a streaming service, but as insane as our court system is with judges siding with money I can't see a judge feeling a TOS could be THAT fluid is like Nike refusing to return a pair of sneakers because you're cousin owned a copy of NBA JAM in the 90's, although you never played it.

Anyone can submit names and people often submit names to embarrass the church because they know it will cause problems. Secondly the 'anne frank' that had work done was not the historically famous figure but a different person entirely,

Temple work is ancestor focused worship, it's not about changing anyone's historical factual life, that's not at all a belief in the church, no one thinks that temple work changes ANYTHING about history, that's INSANE and no one thinks that's what's happening with the names you work.

All the names you so work for are supposed to be YOUR ancestors, people do go through and offer to do names people have left available for anyone, but those names are still supposed to be that other persons ancestors, not unrelated people, no one is supposed to be submitting names of any historical figure they arend provably a decendent of, and even then, they should only do so if they have a right to do that work.

A lot of people hate Mormons and like to make up the worst things they can think of to insult or vilify them. I was Mormon for a long time, I left the church because of ACTUAL THINGS the church does that are wrong and bad and against the churches own doctorine, the choices they make about training and policy, the severe anti lgbtq hatetred they support and spread. NOT because of made up bullshit no one in the church has ever done or believed.

There's more than enough factual information to criticize, making up bullshit isn't necessary and it's dishonest and stupid.

Afaik it's a situation where the less things you have to do the better, even if the only benifit is shortening the length of surgery by minute or more, it's probably saving lives leaving it in as a protocol.

Also it's not even a choice. Busses are not mass produced vehicles they're regulated individually made commercial vehicles, and when the bus manufacturers say 'were not building manual transmissions as of X date', that's it. It's not happening anymore. Same with ABS, and now electric, unless you want to start manufacturing busses yourself, it's not gonna be a choice by then.

I've lived in a few cities with exterior bike racks on the busses.

And there's that ignorant privilege. No one is coming out to Kern County to build stop lights, let alone a some how functioning public transit system, our best bet would be high speed rail out here, and you can thank one individual billionaire for fucking that up. What are we supposed to do? Use our voting power of a low population county to address billionaire's fucking us too hard? I drive my neighbors out of town if they need me to, I do what I can, there's no options, you get access to a car or you die.

I live two hours into the desert past Battlefield. If I don't have access to a car, I'm not getting to anything, we don't even have a hospital that will do live birth less than an hour away, no neurologists, nothing. We have a rural health clinic that mostly directs people to the ER. If someone really has an emergency they might get a helicopter ride if they're luck. Or they might get to experience a 2hr ambulance ride. Which my wife has done two. Now, I can walk some places in town. But a lot of it isn't even paved, if you see those bicycles with the huge fat wheels, those are pretty great out here actually, lots of sand to get trapped in, not a lot of paved road.

It's not a option, I'm not messing with you, when I was a kid you could actually ride a bus out of town, it drove to the Mojave greyhound stop, which is literally just a parking lot, not an actual building of any kind, but that ended by 2002. There's no options, you car, or walk, or bike, or mad max on a go cart, but the cops WILL pull you over and ticket you, those fuckers have nothing to do and we're so good at hiring LAPD officers that get fired for gross misconduct that we actually shut down our PD for a good 5 years and just asked CHP to come by every few weeks. Our crime rates plummeted. Which I really wish we stuck to that, put PD now seems to only harass people with old cars who aren't white enough.

Yeah convicted, sentance, and in prison are very different states of things.

I once asked an exterminator I hired at a job site what a particular bug was called, as I only knew them as 'blood suckers' growing up. He then huckled at me and said ''I call em dead after I get through with em'' and I realized Dale Gribble was a cartoon character who wasn't based on a true story.

Unfortunately in CA you are severly harmed by not having a car.

Oh yeah. If he wasn't the guy with the hiring and firing job he would have been walked off that day. He's easily the worst boss I ever had. Started planning my escape after that. The company had a real problem with sunk cost fallacy. ''Well we invested so much in him'' was the adittude.
