Words cannot express how much I hate this administration.
This is a National Park in TEXAS.
Formerly protected lands.
Nothing is sacred to these monsters. Nothing. 💔
if I was a young person being told that the best our economic system can ever offer me is working longer and longer hours to live with more and more roommates and eat worse and worse food, I might start getting this crazy idea that we need a new economic system
I was a 911 dispatcher for 11 years and this is the worst idea you could possibly think of. You have scenarios where the person can’t speak well either language barriers, injuries or if they’re in a domestic situation and they pretend to call for pizza or something you need a person. You have to be able to determine how someone feels or pick up on what they aren’t saying or how they’re saying things. Same goes for open lines and hang ups. A real person needs to answer the phone not only to ensure the correct response is sent to the right place but to offer piece of mind to the caller and makes them feel safer. Situations where I had to give CPR instructions to a mother and father who’s baby wasn’t breathing was a constant occurrence and you have to be able to calm people down, an AI is not doing that ever. Same goes for dispatching calls, AI cannot do that, in theory it sounds ok for that portion but you have to acknowledge what resources are on hand, where people are, GPS isn’t always accurate so when we started using systems to automatically reroute units who were flagged as “closer” they usually weren’t. But a real person who lives in that county and knows the area, where the stations are, who’s in a move up or coverage or areas that are blocked off due to events that aren’t always in our mapping systems. The list goes on.
Terrible idea
there was this girl on tiktok who was obsessed with emily mariko's salmon rice but she couldn't afford salmon so she made it with tuna and ate it every day for weeks and then she got mercury poisoning
I smoked at least a pack a day for about 20 years and couldn’t stop. Then I read The Easy Way to Stop Smoking by Allen Carr, and I’d given up before I even finished the book…with zero difficulty or withdrawal. In fact, I didn’t even want a cigarette.
Then, about a decade later, during a very stressful period, I started again and ended up smoking ridiculous amounts for many months. Eventually, I decided to reread the book. Once again, I quit halfway through it and haven’t had a cigarette in well over a decade.
If you're ever lost/stranded change your voicemail immediately to say where you are, who you were with, what time you arrived etc. When people notice you're missing and start calling you, the voicemail may just save your life especially if your phone goes dead or you have no service.
🚨 Special Judge Susan Worthington and Judge Michael Kulling let Jesse Butler walk free after he brutally raped and strangled two girls.
One of the victims needed neck surgery.
Butler faced up to 78 years.
Instead, he got a rehabilitation plan and walked free without serving a single day in prison.
The case was dismissed.
Oklahoma …. You have a problem. Remove these Judges
• getting accepted into a school/program/course you really wanted
• having enough money for your needs, your wants, your savings, and your loved ones.
• your hard work finally becoming visible and rewarding.

This feels terrible and dangerous. I have called 911 for myself and for serious incidents on behalf of others. When you call 911, you are almost always in a panic with massive adrenaline and you NEED a human voice on the other end to give you instructions and care.
There is a category on your Mac called 'System Data' and Apple doesn't want explain what's in it.
On a lot of Macs it quietly grows to 50, 80, sometimes 100GB.
I had 41GB of it. Cleared in 12 minutes, cost me nothing.
Here's exactly what I did:👇
Flock will eventually get an innocent person killed
Police with guns drawn stop a driver along I-94. But it turns out they had the wrong person, all because of a mistake involving Flock cameras.

The photographer, Andrew Evans, who spent a day on the island surveying the disaster in March 2011, saw "hundreds—that's not an exaggeration—of northern rockhopper penguins covered in black oil. I saw dozens of fur seal pups with oil on their fur. It's really disturbing to see something like that."
Rockhopper penguins covered head to foot in oil.
When the cargo ship MS Oliva ran aground on Nightingale Island, it spilled 1500 tons of fuel and heavy crude oil.
This impacted nearly half of the world’s Northern Rockhopper Penguin population.
Thousands of oiled-covered penguins were taken to Tristan da Cunha where virtually all the island’s inhabitants tried to clean them—but despite enormous efforts, around 90% of the rescued penguins still died.
The increase in volume of passing shipping poses a growing risk of further catastrophic spills.
For the Atlantic Ocean population, oil pollution is currently considered their main threat, so when we talk about energy and threats to wildlife, let's remember that oil kills on a massive scale.
