I made out like a bandit!

…stupid sexy bandit

(cries in very high cost of living, old rich people area)

Aside from the snopes article putting serious doubt to this claim the timing wouldn’t work anyway.

Epstein was in prison in 2019, it’s already 2025. If there were records kept for 10 years that show him going to that island that would be… Right during his presidency.

However much I wish it was true:

NISAR will track the motion of ice sheets and glaciers…

Annnnnnnd Trump shuts it down.

If you’ve never dealt with snow then northwest NY, NE in general will be interesting come winter that’s for sure. It’s not terribly uncommon for northwestern NY to see 12" of snow. Closer to the shore there are hurricanes to be concerned about for a month or two around now actually, but over my almost 40 years there have only been maybe 2 or 3 that were really troubling. It’s usually just a lot of rain and really high winds.

I’m not sure how Austin gets, but the heat is disgusting for about 3ish months out here (NY) so you wouldn’t really be escaping much except maybe the hot season is shorter. It’s almost never dry heat though so we can have 90° days that are like 109° heat index because of humidity.

The only thing I can say with absolutely certainty is avoid Long Island like the plague unless you really love overpopulated areas full of assholes and disgustingly, almost comically, overpriced housing. The bagels are amazing though lol

The first thing I do is Google what they referenced. For any legislative action, you can read the bill or law. For anything that goes through the court, you can look up the docket. Read what the charges are and the evidence brought forward. Raw data is the most trustworthy, but it can be hard to understand.

I tried this with my father. He’d spout off some fox news garbage, I’d do all this research and send him an email explaining everything with the sources linked, and he would just reply with another fox news article… :(

Gotta gain some more mass bro!

It’s funny that not only was this my first thought when I read the title, but you even picked the exact pack I get for my cat lol

Literally why I paid for a new version instead of… Finding other ways to install it.

That’s on us though for believing scumbag corporations won’t just straight up lie to sell stuff I suppose :(

Just east of GANGS NY would be “BMW drivers.”

Probably worse than gang members to be honest.

But that means they existed for you to have killed them!

… although I guess that means they don’t exist anymore, so checkmate theists! Now there are no gods!

This is a special kind of scummy. Typically you get a so-called “AAA” studio laying off people even after a really successful release that made them a lot of money.

In this case, it was successful, but their contract had a no royalties stipulation so they weren’t getting anything more based on the games success and yet apparently they pushed their employees really hard to go above the quality expectations, got what they wanted, and now fire them… This was about boosting the company name at the expense of the employees…

Owners are always scum…

There was really only one comment in here that I think addressed what I believe to be the real issue: propaganda works. Especially when people are ignorant to how government works and have siloed themselves into realities created by their chosen propaganda outlets, refusing to look outside of them or to acknowledge their veracity.

Republicans can deny aid by the Republican speaker of the house not calling an emergency session and then Trump and Fox News can blame Biden for something he has no control over. Something similar is happening with DeSantis. I imagine the recent news about Florida being potentially a toss up state has them a bit worried so they’re pushing whatever angle they can to attack Democrats.

As to why they would do this at all, I think that’s kind of obvious. Power and money. The Republican party have pretty much completed their takeover of the courts and the heritage foundation can institute their psychotic wishlist (project 2025) without resistance. Winning this election means they win indefinitely.
