There's a lot of lessons to be learned from the Karmelo Anthony case, especially for our children.... But one I hope doesn't go overlooked is WATCH WHO YOU CALL YOUR FRIENDS!!!! Karmelo was called to that tent by someone he THOUGHT was his friend. Defense attorney showed multiple pictures of them together... But he came to testify AGAINST KARMELO. He "allegedly" recorded the whole thing. But then said he was only "pretending to record* and when he was showing his phone to everyone for them to see "He was only showing Karmelo ig page" be fucking fr. This young man you think is your friend, you've been around kicking it multiple times, call you to come sit with him. He's first laughing at you when you're getting bullied. He pulls out his phone to record you getting bullied. Then when you protect yourself AND HE HAS THE EVIDENCE THAT CAN SAVE YOUR LIFE he deletes it and then testify against you. Because the bullies are more popular and goes to the same school..... Please be careful who you call your friends YOUR LIFE COULD LITERALLY DEPEND ON IT!!!
@Betsycashmoney@rodimusprime He draws the College Football audience and the NFL audience. I don't watch him, but a lot of fans do, and that will get you paid.
High intelligence often comes with heightened pattern recognition. You start noticing social masks, forced conversations, performative friendships, hidden motives, emotional immaturity, and energy that feels draining instead of nourishing. Many highly intelligent people also have more active nervous systems, deeper inner worlds, and lower tolerance for superficial stimulation, so solitude can feel safer than constantly shrinking themselves to fit environments that don't feel aligned.
I don't want to hear "Leave Politics out of Knicks talk" for the rest of the playoffs because look at this hit Dolan just used his platform to put out on Zohran 😭😭😭
The people who make it an advantage have less access to go to games than ever before. Deep NBA Playoffs/NBA Finals have become Super Bowl’d. Soulless corporate gatherings rather than a sanctuary for fans.
Here’s another video of all these MAGA that thought they could take a road trip to California and vote for Spencer Pratt illegally because they’ve been told that they didn’t need ID to vote and they found out they were wrong and now some will likely be charged for it.
The ruling class seek to end the Information Age. They notice the strong correlation between youth and leftism; they rightly conclude that online access to community knowledge has turned the public against them; and they’ve decided the next generation must simply be brainwashed.
This book is essential reading and deeply illuminating. In chapter 20, “Capitalism’s Big Jolt,” the author argues that without the caloric boost of sugar...reaching roughly 25 pounds per person per year in England by 1776...it would not have been metabolically possible for workers to sustain the intense demands of capitalist labor. Sugar also enabled the mass consumption of caffeinated beverages that had previously been too bitter to drink in large quantities. As a result, sugar helped usher in a “new era of alertness,” fueling the rise of coffeehouses, which in turn nurtured a new medium...the newspaper...and contributed to the intellectual ferment associated with the Enlightenment.
Ocarina of Time is called the "Citizen Kane" of video games for a reason. Ask Dan Houser, creator of Grand Theft Auto and Red Dead, who says, "Anyone who makes 3D games who says they’ve not borrowed something from Mario or Zelda is lying."
He compares the new games to Hitchcock.
Social Security does not add to the national debt. It is even prohibited by law from borrowing money.
Politicians who talk about cutting or changing Social Security to address the debt are lying to you.
Here is how Social Security funding works:
Social Security is funded by payroll taxes. When more money comes in from payroll taxes than benefits that need to be paid out, Social Security is obligated to invest the surplus in Treasuries.
Treasuries are bonds. Governments and corporations issue bonds to generate money. A bond is a loan from the purchaser to the issuer.
A bond has a principal, a maturity date, and an interest rate. The principal is the value of the bond. When you buy a bond, you pay the principal. When the bond reaches its maturity date, the issuer is required to pay the principal back to the holder. The interest rate is the amount the issuer pays to the bondholder.
It is similar to how, when you take out a 30-year mortgage, you agree to a repayment schedule and to pay interest until the loan is repaid.
As Treasuries mature, if Social Security doesn't need that extra money, it rolls them over by buying new Treasuries.
When Social Security needs more money to cover benefits, it cashes out Treasuries.
The federal government has had a deficit for the past 25 years. This means that when it has to meet its obligations, it needs to borrow money.
This is how people claim that Social Security adds to the debt. That is ridiculous.
Companies and countries buy US Treasuries. You and I can buy them. Anyone holding a Treasury when it matures isn't increasing the debt. The government’s unbalanced budget is causing the debt.
Cutting Social Security will do nothing to get the US out of debt, but it would create hardship for millions of Americans.
Social Security currently has a shortfall, primarily because people are living longer and the large Boomer generation is retiring. In 1960, there were 5.1 people paying into Social Security. Today, there are only 2.7. The trust fund from past surpluses is keeping it afloat, but it is running out.
The easiest way to address the shortfall is to remove the tax cap on Social Security. Benefits do not have to be increased to do this. This is exactly what was done for Medicare in 1993. The tax cap was removed, and benefits weren't increased to better fund the program.
La gente de 35-45 que jugamos con el original de N64 hemos sentido tal escalofrío recorrer la espalda al escuchar la ocarina al principio del tráiler que no vamos a dormir hasta que salga.
