@davefreersf @JesterJum Yep. Because back then with no vaccine available, you WANTED to contract chickenpox as a kid BECAUSE it was so devastating to adults.

@Suzierizzo1 A: Industry Specialists being commissioned at (relatively) high rank as officers is very common. Military doctors, JAG officers, so on.

B: Why officers? So that they are legally subject to UCMJ, and can be prosecuted under those rules if they F up.

@DesireeAmerica4 If the doctor was actually concerned about the wellbeing of the child in that home, he shouldn’t be recommending medication, he should be calling the police. If he just thinks “the child would be better behaved”, he needs to learn how to accept the word “No”.

@DesireeAmerica4 As both a parent of a neurodivergent and neurodivergent myself, I know from personal experience there are medications that help treat certain disorders… but the portrayal of the doctor here is problematic at best. No doctor should be threatening to take that kind of action. 1/2

@OcrazioCornPop That guy is seriously lucky he got pushed back as far as he did. That horse was about to curb stomp him. Do you know how much a horse weighs?

@DODResponse Legal penalties: Veterans who violate the regulation regarding uniform wear can still face civil penalties, including fines and potential imprisonment. Unauthorized wearing of the uniform by a civilian is prohibited by Federal law.

@WarPath2pt0 Yep... Muzzle awareness is more than knowing what you're pointed at. It's also about knowing if it's in reach.

@Jringo1508 That's an excellent cover. It nails the main character perfectly.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

UPSTART PUBLISHER SNAGS NEW YORK TIMES BEST-SELLING AUTHOR

Los Angeles—January 10, 2025. Newly created Ark Press announced its official launch with the acquisition of New York Times best-selling author Larry Correia, who will begin a new contemporary fantasy series scheduled for 2026.

In addition to Correia, Ark plans to publish twelve titles in 2026, including new work from crowdsource sensation Travis J. I. Corcoran.

The press will take a unique approach, adopting methods from both self-publishing and trade. According to editor-in-chief Tony Daniel, formerly senior editor at Regnery Books and Baen Books, “Ark will engage in initial crowdfunding projects for all our IP as a marketing strategy and a revenue channel.”

Ark plans to specialize in genre fiction—primarily science fiction and fantasy, but also political thrillers, alternate history, mystery, and historical novels with an emphasis on stories where humans triumph over adversity—alien, evil, or natural. Future blueprints include developing a “modern based” Hardy Boys mystery adventure YA series.

“You can think of us as having a human-centric based genre focus,” says Daniel. “We promise readers that in every Ark book, ‘The humans win in the end.’ That’s our official motto.”

Daniel adds that a major market thrust will be to reach the often-neglected Great American Male Reader. “We have a vision,” he says, “and very much intend to make a difference in the landscape of American fiction.”

I’m not trying to defend billionaires, but this post is violently fucking stupid and a perfect example of why billionaires will never pay more taxes. Most of the people who care about this are too financially illiterate to even understand why they’re mad.

This person is conflating net worth with annual income, which is insane. I’d bet they also don’t understand the difference between realized and unrealized gains.

There are a lot of good arguments and conversations to be had about taxes, but if your whole position is “they have more than me, and that’s not fair,” like a toddler, that conversation is never going to happen.

@RBaileysfather @Fat_Electrician To pay taxes on the Tesla stock, he would have to actually SELL some stock.

@EndWokeness Yes. Female anatomy is different that that of males. It’s not for equity, it’s for reality.

@Osint613 Damn! Who's gonna pay for that roof?

@G_Mac_Promish @KBAndersen @monsterhunter45 I’m shocked he hasn’t chimed in. This is right up his alley.

@clownworld Keep in mind, the backpack he had on during the crime was likely filled with more clothes and a different backpack. If they're following him through camera records, this could very well be him.

@BradRTorgersen My wife was an orphan in Thailand, adopted by American parents and raised in the US. There is no hint of Thai culture in her upbringing or attitude. Culture =/= Ethnicity.
