I am very glad that police are doing their job. That does not mean they are newsworthy. I agree. But last time I checked "providing food for poor children who may not have enough to eat" isn't part of the police's daily job. It would be awesome if it were, but it isn't. It's a bit like a ...

To be honest I really do not want to see a swell of "the police are good guys" threads filling up this forum either. Because at that point we may just rename it into propaganda battle. Is it newsworthy? Everybody with a brain already knows that some police officers are good guys, some are...

From my old hometown https://www.facebook.com/LudlowPolice/posts/1540850649500861?fref=nf Ludlow School was out all last week and that meant many of the students that depend on the school for free and reduced meals had to go without. There is no doubt that for some of these kids this meant they were...

Regardless though it is a benefit you get for continuing to pay taxes even if you don't physically live in the country, which some of the detractors were asking about why should someone have to continue to do so.

Because he's no longer using the nation's services, and is paying taxes in the host nation. Have a very nice day. -fgalkin A US Citizen living abroad only pays taxes on income over 96,000 dollars (or more, depending on exclusions for housing and such) they make per year, and any taxes paid to the c...

I have a friend from high school who was shot and made a near total quadriplegic by her crazy ex who tried to kill her... I almost want to send her this link, but i dont know if this would be effective for that type of injury.

That shouldn't matter, your current country of citizenship should have fuck and all to do with you getting back into your country of birth.

And it doesn't. Except when you renounce that citizenship, as this asshole did.

Pretty neat. While it's aimed at developing countries, I think something like this would also be exceedingly useful anywhere, once people could get past their squeamishness. To expand out, this is a "janicki omni-processor" which is able to dry out sewage waste, clear out the water vapor ...

Not to hijack but perhaps we could get a chat based game of 3rd edition or another game going sometime... I wouldn't mind some gaming

I'm a guy, and play almost exclusively guys, though sometimes androids/robots if allowed that have no gender. i also play human or human like whenever possible, or something that passes for it, though sometimes, depending on the game, might play an elf. i think its because i use the character as an ...

a goddamn Celestial, a living one, wrecking shit! It helped emphasize the "Oh Crap" nature of the Stone's threat even more. When did we see this? When The Collector was talking about the Infinity Ge..Stones. A Celestial had one in a staff which he slammed on the ground, cutting to the wor...

Well movie shaw was able to use that energy to create shaped and controlled explosions both large scale and very small so he would be able to let loose the stored energy without being overloaded unless it's a single punch or he's too distracted to let it out.

What firewall are you using?

Look over this article and see if it answers any questions

As schools continued to draw ever more lucrative TV contracts, and in many cases started their own TV networks, they lost much of the "moral high ground" IMO. And the whole "Well if you unionize, we'll just shutdown the football program" sounds like a throwback to scare tactics ...

Northwestern University fought the petition by saying its players are students, not employees. No student unions at Northwestern? Also, considering the crazy amount of money which can be made off these teams, they should be able to unionise like anyone else. Of course they should. The universities ...

The issue at this point is Emancipation, not adulthood. In NJ, a person is not considered Emancipated until they leave the scope of their parents authority. I'd say by moving out and running away she's emancipated herself and thus it doesn't matter if she feels her parents should pay for her college...

I have to wonder how much exposure the op has had in regards to death. I've dealt with close relatives dying and nearly dying myself before I was 15, so it's never been just an abstract idea for me and something you learn to accept. Or "get over". Cousin when I was 6 and too young to unde...

Mainly for the fellow atheists or those who don't believe in an afterlife... How do you handle the fact that life ends? To me, that's the biggest issue I've found. Bad enough to hamper my quality of life and keep my up sleepless nights. I could go into more detail, but to me the worst thing in the w...

Is it time for a huge, federal infrastructure project? I think its time for a huge, federal infrastructure project. Put a bunch of people to work building new roads and bridges. Or a space elevator. Or just a big thing, it could be a mile-high statue of John Wayne, for all I care, as long as its a ...

To be fair the study it's based on kinda helps set the pessimistic mood. Without any changes in the way HR departments within businesses work, what would make this change, beyond government intervention.

I'm just surprised they didn't flare out the top part of the wall making it a sort of walkway area. If they had nothing could have climbed over it, the tower of bodies would have fallen backwards

Maybe I wasn't clear. When I say holidays I wasn't referring to public holidays (I guess you guys call them federal holidays), I was referring to annual leave which your employer gives you. If you have say one week leave, then you can set up the bank account then with all the money you saved. Pleas...

I wasn't given an option, I don't think anybody was. It was just "Here, read this pamphlet and activate this card, its how you're getting paid, starting next week." If I was given the option, I would have stuck with the normal payroll checks that I'd been getting at every job I've had sin...

No, but there are people who can't afford an account to put direct deposit in. And your country has no such thing as free bank accounts? I mean here you can get a current account with no montly charge, no upfront fee, no minimum monthly payin, and minimum starting deposits that go as low as £1 from...
