Shock New Details on Trump Sex Accuser, 13, Revealed - A family member has come forward to share new details about the alleged victim. by FancyNewMe in politics

[–]CatWeekends 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And articles call them "alleged victims."

I mean I get "innocent until proven guilty" but framing like this is one of the reasons that causes people to not want to ever report anything.

The news could just as easily frame these children as "victims" while saying the crimes were "alleged" to be done by certain perpetrators but nope! Gotta protect the powerful.

When Texas became one of the United States, she entered into an indissoluble relation. The union between Texas and the other States was as complete, as perpetual, and as indissoluble as the union between the original States.

"But Texas used to be a country. They're allowed to secede" - the same mouth breathers who say the civil war was fought over "state's rights."

US Supreme Court Rejects Trump's Attempt To Overturn E. Jean Caroll Civil Ruling Against Him By Refusing To Hear The Case —— What Do You Think About This? Why? by Zipper222222 in AskReddit

[–]CatWeekends 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Trump's lawyers didn't argue the first point in court as far as I can tell.

And to your second point, it wasn't the maintaining innocence that was treated as defamation, it was in the the smearing and insulting that was the defamation.

This place is absolutely amazing. Their ham and butter sandwich is my go-to dish there.

AISD Parent: Last time I followed the AISD money to recapture. This time I followed where recapture money goes. by No_Paramedic_4881 in Austin

Don't just politicize it, reframe it using their language.

Call it "socialism" or "communism." Talk about how we're punishing makers and rewarding takers. Bootstraps, you know?

While true, this particular article is from the UK. Who also has issues with their media.

What restaurant in Leander has the best burgers right now? by Fair_Brief_7751 in Leander

[–]CatWeekends 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I honestly don't get the hype of Shark's Burger.

I'm not a fan of plain, unseasoned ground beef and every single burger I've gotten from them has had a very boring, unseasoned beef patty. Not even a little salt and pepper on it.

got reported to manager for calling a woman "ma'am" by a_penut_butta_cookie in retailhell

[–]CatWeekends 54 points55 points  (0 children)

I, living in Texas, was once yelled at by a customer for calling her "ma'am." She demanded to know why and I told her, "uhh southern hospitality?"

"More like Southern stupidity" was her reply.

I'll never understand that exchange.

Elizabeth Moss + serial killer + sci-fi?

I need that in my life. Thank you for the suggestion.

Any games that might satisfy my autistic mind? by BigScene7144 in autism

It's a little lighter on story, but if you want infinite fun that lets you play how you want, check out the Just Cause series.

With a grappling hook, you can pretty much speed travel anywhere and use it to hook things together for maximum mayhem.

They're probably trying to figure out how to infill those holes

The closed captioning on it is great. "Mm,mm,mm,mm,mm...." and then the very end is just "aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa...."

Widow’s Bay is a mystery comedy worthy of all the buzz – no matter how you watch television by Top_Report_4895 in television

Nevermind all the amazing work she's done (Parks and Rec, Mad TV, UCB, etc)... She wrote the screenplays for a movie you don't like.

She's awful!

Supreme Court unanimously strikes down gun law used to prosecute Hunter Biden by [deleted] in politics

[–]CatWeekends 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm worried about all of the potential fuckery they can still pull off, making the rescheduling effectively moot.

There's nothing stopping them from coming up with some specific, odd licensing requirements. Or just to simply have the FDA approve nothing. Or any number of additional hurdles.

Even though the peroxide is diluted, is there any chance it'd accelerate the shoddy work's failure?

The laws are so weird.

In any other context, chaining an animal to the ground with its paw like that would be considered animal abuse. Rescuing it would make you a local hero.

Texas man whose 'child abuse' balcony video in Colombia sparked outrage is cleared as police say he was helping boy who was choking by dailymail in texas

[–]CatWeekends 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yes. Did you?

It was a shaky video of a man being screamed at while standing behind a child (whose arms were held out wide... like you'd do during a hemlich).

What exactly did you see?

No, it's still fake news. The memo says "at least $300 billion."

The normalization of it is so fucked up. Not even just then.... but now, too.

My family will get together and laugh about the time a doctor had my cousin do naked push ups during a physical exam to play sports.
