    Or if they get the wrong address.

    Or if they don’t like your skin color.

    Or if they don’t like your tone.

    Or if they just generally feel like it while their body cams are “malfunctioning”.

    Basically, if you want to kill people with impunity, become a police officer in the US.




  • Per the article, from a previous challenge:

    to challenge the noncompete agreements ban, arguing that it would make it difficult for companies to retain talent.

    Sounds like a admission that the opposition to the ban is to promote corporate servitude, discourage lateral movement in a chosen field, and protect companies from having to consider employee satisfaction in order to keep them. Somehow Trump appointed US District Judge Ada Brown of Texas thinks allowing people to have control over their own career would “cause irreparable harm.”

    I wonder who Trump appointed US District Judge Ada Brown of Texas thinks would be harmed by this.

    Trump appointed US District Judge Ada Brown of Texas and member of such conservative historical organizations like the Daughters of the American Revolution, the Mayflower Society, and the Federalist Society, is also credited with

    saying the noncompete agreements ban is “unreasonably overbroad without a reasonable explanation,”

    Did she read the 570 pages of the final rule which starts explaining the reason for the rule on page 5 including studies, public commentary, detrimental impact on innovation, conflicts with antitrust laws, concerns of the US courts going back to 1711. Sounds like a lot of readable explanations to me.





  • I was once described as a "spiritual athiest" for believing in a connection between myself and the universe around me. As I move through life I take and I give or, if you prefer, I am influenced from and I am influence by the world around me. While I am alive I have some choice in how to shape those interactions. When I die, the last of me is released from this consciousness and returned to the universe. All without any form of supreme being.

    The only "higher power" I believe in is the ineffable rules that ties the universe together, and those rules don't care about me as an individual. I act and the rules respond, void of any conscious thought.

    That type of thinking doesn't really drive or motivate me beyond informing my decions in choosing a path to a destination or deciding that a destination is not worth the journey.

    If you are not driven or motivated to continue your pusuits then it might be time to move on to something else. You tried something and it is not right for you at this time. Learn and grow from the experience to help find future interests. Maybe you come back to it later or maybe you don't.

    We exist for such a brief moment and, in the end, it doesn't really matter to the universe what we do so uou might as well spend your time trying to focus on what makes your journey the best one for you.

    ... paying almost $25 for 3 items

    Meanwhile the pic clearly shows the order was for 5 items.

    Laura appears to have ordered at a McDonald’s in Australia, given the availability of banana bread on the menu and her reference to the restaurant as “Maccas.”

    How do fast food prices in Australia mean that America has failed?
