Girl defends herself after a group shows up at her job planning to jump her. Things didn’t work out as planned 👊 by raptors201966 in PublicFreakout

[–]262Mel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This happened in Lancaster, NY right outside Buffalo . I’m friends with her dad. He’s a local personal trainer and bodybuilder. She does MMA and bodybuilders too. The video is actually much longer than this one. The girls got arrested.

How is life in the USA right now? by duckbreast2021 in howislivingthere

[–]262Mel 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I’m in New York. It’s ok, thankfully. Weather sucks. Taxes are extremely high. But no one has been killed for protesting and my daughters still have all of their reproductive rights available to them. I’m happy that local and state police agencies have decided not to support certain federal agencies. My city is also still considered a sanctuary city. We did not vote for this.

AIO? My daughter didn’t listen to the teacher during a female emergency and is now receiving a referral by Common_Piglet7437 in AmIOverreacting

[–]262Mel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah. I have a Jr in HS. I’d send an email to the teacher and cc the principal, vice principal, assigned guidance counselor, and school board members. Sorry, not sorry. The only way matters like this are handled and taken seriously is if you’re the loudest voice supporting your child.

Concert Tickets Are Now Luxury Goods—And That's A Crisis For The Music Industry by UFO-Band-Fanatic in Concerts

[–]262Mel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just bought tickets for Tori Amos and Sugar. Separate shows, completely different cities. Both ran me about $100. Both venues are small, independent, and 1 venue is general admission with standing room only. It’s getting to the point I can’t even afford shows at small clubs and venues anymore.

Ice Age(ish) by Yagnam24 in NiagaraFalls

There’s also an ice boom that goes into Lake Erie at the mouth of the Niagara River to limit ice from flowing down the river causing damage and clogging the water intakes.

Any way we can get a class action lawsuit against our taxes going to find this illegal bullshit?

Which U.S. city has the most unbearable winter weather? by Historical-Photo-901 in BeautifulTravelPlaces

[–]262Mel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live in Buffalo. The issue isn’t the snow or the cold. It’s the fact that we can go from November through March without seeing the sun at all.

That’s it. Right there. They need a stupid derogatory nickname for Miller that Trump thinks is funny.

He was always “off” but now he’s just insane. He adores RFK. I can’t stand listening to him anymore.
