@FanDuel FanDuel is garbage
Slow as snot
Drops connection for no reason
Won't let you log back in with fingerprint or face
Frequently doesn't recognize where I am so I can't place bets
Can't believe I fell in with these scumbags
Use any other site
even the corner bookie
@HighersideChats The US military industrial complex is about hammering checks
They have zero concern w developing new weapons systems or adapting
They want to build overpriced overcomplicated systems that generate billions in ongoing maintenance & upgrades
Winning wars isn't even on the list
@DaveRoque@SawyerMerritt@Tesla Not to be argumentative but I think you're talking about a BMW M3
I believe the slowest depreciating Bentley are GT series. Even there a GT W12 in 2018 would run $250k+ new & you'd be VERY lucky to get $40K trade in
well over 80% but more importantly down $210k raw numbers
@FuddBusters Your only hope for survival when faced by an aggressive grizzly in the Alaskan back country is a weapon like this
A rifle is great if you can unsling it in time. I'm sure all you city folk are very excited over your Glocks
This weapon serves a purpose
@chamath Figuring that people largely start around 40
After 25 years of taking glps these people are going to be so Goddamn sick their medical costs will be astronomical
@DougAMacgregor Not the final act for the Iraqis.
They will probably end up with decades of sectarian violence just like Syria and Libya and Afghanistan
@BarrySux@maniaUFO Usually you're going to back into or out of a parking space. When I arrive , if it's not busy, I back in..... I don't have any fuking idea what it's going to be like when I leave
Like this for example...
@Tsoukalos@novvibee@grok Kind of bulk he was carrying is very hard on an aging body.
The guy is still fit and ripped. Will probably have a better career and longer life for it
@MarioNawfal Big targets.....
Fixed fortifications are monuments to the stupidity of man
But hey these things can go almost 30 knots .,... so I'm sure this doesn't apply
@MarioNawfal How long would the US tolerate build up of hostile foreign forces on our border in Mexico??
A LOT shorter time than Russia did with Ukraine
π¨#BREAKING: Outrage is erupting in Georgia after a White Kroger manager who ran into the parking lot to protect an ELDERLY co-worker from MASKED Black shoplifters was BEATEN, left with a CONCUSSION and STAPLES...
...and then FIRED by Kroger 3 DAYS LATER for helping her!!!
After 14 YEARS WORKING THERE!!!!!!
Yes, you read that right.
Sixteen months later, the men who put him in the hospital have never been arrested.
Not one.
His name is Michael Self.
For 14 years, he ran the Kroger on North Decatur Road in DeKalb County.
On the morning of Saturday, May 24th, 2025, around 8:20 a.m., masked shoplifters walked out of his store.
An elderly employee followed them outside.
Cellphone video shows what happened next. The masked suspects swung a bag of paper towels at her.
Then they SHOVED her.
Michael ran out to help her.
"I literally just wanted to draw the tension away from my associates, get them to stop and everybody just be done," he said.
"As I got away from that door, someone hit me in the back of the head with something."
The video shows him on the ground.
He left Emory University Hospital with a concussion and staples in his head.
AND IT GETS WORSE.
Three days later, Kroger fired him.
Yes, after fourteen years a father of three was TERMINATED FROM HIS JOB for trying to protect an elderly woman.
The reason?
"He violated the company's shoplifting policy."
The termination letter, Michael says, accused HIM of starting the fight.
"I didn't even get to talk to the people that decided to fire me," he said.
So the rule is: watch the elderly cashier get shoved in the parking lot.
Do nothing to help her.
Keep your job.
Step in? You're the problem and you're fired
OH, and the Black men in the masks?
DeKalb County police say the case is "still open."
No names.
No descriptions.
No arrests.
AFTER 16 months.
They beat an old woman, cracked a man's skull open, and walked away with paper towels and their freedom.
The only person who has faced any consequence for what happened in that parking lot is the man who tried to stop it.
Michael is finally telling his side of the story because he is still fighting to clear his name and still looking for work.
WE DO NOT HAVE TO LIVE LIKE THIS!!!!!!!
