  • I’m not sure what you’re getting at. That article says in multiple places, and even implies it with the scare quotes in the title, that they didn’t find a bunch of gang members in that complex. So what exactly are you trying to say?

    Here’s a few quotes from that article:

    Aurora Police Department Interim Chief Heather Morris said in a statement on Friday that “gang members have not taken over” the complex.

    “I’m not saying that there aren’t gang members that don’t live in this community,” Morris said. “But what we’re learning out here is that gang members have not taken over this complex.”

    Morris stated that the local authorities have “really made an effort” in recent days to ask specific questions about gang activity in the area and at the complex.

    “Making sure that people aren’t paying rent to gang leaders or gang members,” she said.

    According to Morris, the residents they’ve spoken with have assured them that this isn’t happening, and she believes they are being honest.

    “We’re standing out here, and I can tell you that gang members have not taken over this complex.”










  • Walmart appeared to acknowledge the error in a statement released to the media.

    “We want our associates to feel safe and supported in their workplace, and we won’t tolerate bullying or threats of violence against our associates or customers,” Walmart spokesperson Joe Pennington said in a statement. “We’ve reviewed the situation and will be addressing it internally. We’ve also made multiple attempts to invite Ms. Davis to return to work, with back pay.”

    For once in my life I’d like to see one of companies respond in the same way that got them in the situation in the first place. Like if Walmart just responded, “lol fuck you idc” it would actually make me less angry than this bullshit.

    In almost every case in fictional writing it’s better to make up a poison then use a real one. That way you don’t have someone picking it apart later. Also you can give it whatever properties you want/need. Now excuse me while I continue to work on my immunity to iocane powder.

    The eggs in the picture are like the most expensive eggs you can buy. A dozen of the cheapest eggs are around $5-6. Which is still like 3-4 times as expensive as they were a few years ago, but not nearly as insane as what is posted.

    I’d just like to interject for a moment. What you’re refering to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.

    Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called Linux, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.

    There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine’s resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called Linux distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux!

    Sure. Maybe they just kneecap you while you’re fighting the bear? I’m not sure that really flows from the above conversation though and kinda feel like you’re saying I’m brainless cause I didn’t go far enough with my bear fight analogy… Which seems a little extreme considering I equated them to someone that would just watch you get mauled by a bear and do nothing.

    To clarify, I don’t think any of us are winning. They made the claim that Biden was just sitting and back and watching. I’m asserting, using their same claim, that the alternative is worse, while also making fun of the fact that watching someone fight a bear and not helping is objectively terrible. Do you really think this analogy makes Biden/the DNC out to be a great people?
