This happened to my parents in the 90s in Florida. They did a consultation with a lawyer and he told them to stop paying rent. So they did. Saved the money and used it to make a downpayment on their first house. I don't know if it still applies but it's probably worth a look.

You'll have to decide for yourself. I recommend safe search: moderate.

Iistened to an episode of Conan Needs a Friend where he interviewed some bird guy who suggested that the bird that best resembles Conan is the Andean Cock of the Rock. Curiosity got the better of me so I searched for 'Andean Cock of the Rock'. The first result was not a bird but was instead a poorly made deep fake of Dwayne Johnson breaking one off in a South American gentleman.

This screws up the acronym I'm cooking up.

  • Republicans
  • Enable
  • Pedophiles
  • Undermine
  • Basic
  • Liberties
  • Ignore
  • Constitutional
  • Accountability
  • ??? I'd rather my acronym be discarded than those files, assuming the turds comply with the subpoena. What's the penalty if they don't?

I played through Metroid Dread finally about a month ago. Had it since it launched. When my wife was a kid, their rule was that they had to beat the game before you could get a new one. I rarely beat games as a kid so that seemed harsh to me.

Is this something that can be reversed in a subsequent administration or something we will be stuck with if the rebublicants dont steal the next election?

We probably need an amendment to actually do redistricting fairly, but as long as one side is abusing the process, it doesn't make sense for the other side to try to continue being 'fair'. You're just bringing a fart to a shit slinging contest.

I'm crazy. Mark My Words. In 20 years, we'll have so many microbes capable of consuming plastic people will be bitching about their packages not being able to effectively protect their goods from spoiling. The goldfish has spoken.

I like to think of them as artificial con men. They sound great. They have confidence and are complimentary and are very agreeable, but they will tell you what they think you want to hear. Whether or not what they are telling you is truthful isn't even part of the equation.

The author makes a pretty compelling case for letting Phil go. Can you imagine the owners of a sports team continuing to pay a Manager millions of dollars a year despite them getting their asses kicked every time they suit up?

This sounds like it would be fraud, bribery, or embezzlement if one of us was caught doing it.

There was a time when I thought Gillibrand was good people but that was a long time ago.
