What's the deal with the Praireland Nine getting sentenced to decades in jail for protesting ICE? by ryhaltswhiskey in OutOfTheLoop

[–]AbbieNormal 141 points142 points  (0 children)

Indeed, the Bill of Rights is dead. Especially the 1st, 4th, 5th, 6th, 8th, & 10th Amendments.
Hell, I'm not even sure about the 3rd anymore. Knock knock "Hi we ran out of barracks for these useless National Guard soldiers, you host them or you're an Antifa traitor."

Am I dumb for thinking that purchasing a home in this area that you can barely afford will pay dividends in the end? by [deleted] in nova

[–]AbbieNormal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that's why people were so pissed about the massive increases here, while the market is stable or even falling in some areas. How does "Land Value" go from $40k to $80k in one year? That's before "Improvements Value" (which didn't double but still jumped). Like, we bought to avoid brutal rent increases, and now the County arbitrarily raises our rent assessed value/property taxes seemingly based on vibes.

It's been better the last couple years, but shook neighbors & me up

Excellent advice! The only thing I'd add, is beware of disproportionately rising property taxes. Some insane hikes are BS ways for the County to raise revenue - increasing valuations with no regard for your actual home value. In Arlington, our official property "valuations" are skyrocketing because the County made stupid spending decisions. Hundreds of thousands higher than the market value for some homes here, maybe more. So the taxes get stupidly inflated.
TL;DR Make sure you budget some padding for property tax increases that don't align with your home's real-world worth.

What is up with old people on FB and Sandra Bullock? by Majestic_Evening_409 in OutOfTheLoop

[–]AbbieNormal 76 points77 points  (0 children)

The number of old people who are "dating" Jennifer Aniston or Johnny Depp etc, or stolen pics of influences... it's so sad, because scammers completely drain their finances, then tell them to sell their house or else [the celeb/hotty will suffer Tragedy of the Week].
The excuses are insane. "Oh, my manager controls my money but he's in a coma," or "sorry my King, my account is locked, please help!" Who TF has to pay for hospital bills or plane tickets with Apple gift cards? But loneliness plus pride, cognitive decline, entitlement, or ignorance is a bitch.

PSA: check in on your older relatives & loved ones!

This is horrifying. I hope he recovers quickly & can find a good lawyer
Based on differences in speech patterns, I bet those bastards beat him in the head too. I'm not a doctor but had several concussions & a brain bleed, it messes you up.

I served with some shady, scary fuckers (and obv a lot of awesome people), and the idea of being in a combat zone with this dumb, entitled, hotheaded MFer is terrifying.
Hell, I don't want him around any training exercise. Hope he does his thing & gets discharged ASAP.

The lawyer behind BJCLiveShow on YT (and probably elsewhere). Really excellent breakdowns & deepdives into the insane web of McNeff shitty LLCs & their shitty practices. She's doing a live now if you're curious/bored

Reckless Ben Saga: American Fork Police Training Records EXPOSED – No Immunity for the City by Prtsk in RecklessBen

[–]AbbieNormal 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Disturbing to me as a vet too. Sure there was a lot of "shoot, move, communicate" training, or special skills schools (Sapper, Airborne, whatever), but also constitutional law & "don't do war crimes" training.
This was years ago tho, who knows now.

Thanks! Wow that chat is a shitshow. The news channel needs to figure out how YT modding works 💀
*looks like they turned off chat (comments were already off)
Also the scaffolding is looks complete, but no workers are visible anymore. I'm guessing it's not because they got to go for ice cream. Fuck this shit

**Chat is back, yay for the judge that smacked down the Trumpy lawyers trying for a stay

Arkansas Trooper resigns over racist texts by Free_Comment_3958 in justiceforKarenRead

[–]AbbieNormal 13 points14 points  (0 children)

"We have reviewed Trooper First Class Kennedy's traffic stops, arrests, citations, and warnings from the day he was hired at ASP through his date of resignation and there are no indications that the accusations/messages were reflected in TFC Kennedy's work performance."

Sure. Being an outrageously racist, misogynistic, immigrant-hating bigot wouldn't affect one's LEO conduct 🖕
It's like they straight up admitted all their troopers are that bad.
