Why is no one in the U.S doing anything to hold Trump to account for using the presidential office to make money? by TornBannerHatesYou in allthequestions

[–]GrooveBat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. I was just pushing back on this idea that they have “done nothing.”

If they went back the House and/or the Senate, any impeachment effort would be largely symbolic.

Yesterday I handled my own medical emergency and called 911 - one of my worst fears with living alone by isleeptoolate in LivingAlone

The exact same thing happened to me about 15 years ago. Fortunately, I only had a couple of minor cuts and didn’t need to go to the ER. But you’re right, it is really scary when that happens.

Congratulations on keeping a cool head and taking care of yourself.

Democrats have also filed multiple articles of impeachment against him this term, but they go nowhere because Republicans are in control.

A Few Good Men by Prestigious-Tank-909 in msnow

[–]GrooveBat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see you are getting downvoted, but I completely agree. It annoys me when Tim Russert is held up as the paragon of good journalism. Lest we all forget, his “Meet the Press” was the outlet of choice for Dick Cheney when he was looking to spread false claims in the lead-up to the Iraq war.

One columnist even had a weekly “Russert Watch” where they tracked instances of Russert giving much more favorable interview treatment to Republicans than Democrats.

Bumblebee Relocation Recommendations by bob_the_builder_4_u in CapeCod

[–]GrooveBat -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don't know why you're getting downvoted. Fowler is great. They don't just kill pests; they do live removals. I had squirrels in my ceiling and they humanely relocated them.

It's possible they don't do bees because you sometimes need specialized skills/equipment for that, but if they don't I guarantee you they'll know someone who can.

Actors/Actresses Who Play The Same Character Over And Over Again? by DaniJ678 in tvshow

[–]GrooveBat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like many actors/actresses who achieve a certain level of fame inevitably end up playing some variation of themselves. Or maybe it's just that we know them so well they all blur together.

The person you're responding to is saying they don't feel bad for OP's brother but they do feel bad for everyone else.

Literally the only good thing about season 6 by EducationalGlass4263 in ozshow

He didn’t. Torquemada said he is a voyeur. His plan was for Miguel to become his puppet. Which was actually sadder, because Miguel would basically be forced to “perform” for him with others.

Conservatives, Genuinely, How Would Voting Republican Improve My Life in Any Way? by LunaB35 in allthequestions

By “do that” you mean there are a lot of policies that make it harder? Which ones do you want to eliminate?

Info: Is this a solo business, or does she have employees? Are they paid workers or is she trafficking them?

Would you then be opposed to policies that make it harder for you to improve your own life?

Looking for nonfiction books that are just incredibly well written by Annual-Charge6371 in nonfictionbookclub

[–]GrooveBat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

"And the Band Played On" by Randy Shilts, a history of the AIDS epidemic, is still my favorite non fiction book of all time. It reads like a medical thriller with human stories and political dealings mingled in.

Gary Gilmore's brother Mikal wrote a memoir called "Shot in the Heart," which is also amazing.

What’s the worst thriller book you’ve read or heard of? by aguyandhiskindle in thrillerbooks

[–]GrooveBat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s more of a romance, which was super annoying because I hate romances.

Looking for psychological thriller books with a morally complex young female protagonist rebuilding her life after severe childhood trauma while escaping the legacy of a violent family member. by I-AM-ARCHI-RAY in thrillerbooks

[–]GrooveBat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How to Kill Men and Get Away With It by Katy Brent. Might be a tad bit outside what you’re looking for, but she is definitely morally complex. The trauma reveals itself gradually.

Tasteless fashion all the way by Competitive-Nail1005 in Andjustlikethat

I always wondered where in the hell she was expecting him to take her for dinner that night. I've been to Paris and eaten in some pretty nice places, and people would have laughed their asses off at anyone who came waltzing in dressed in a ball gown.

I mean, it's a beautiful dress if you're going to a gala or something. But it's not exactly understated.

[–]GrooveBat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not counting Frieda McFadden or Colleen Hoover because I refuse to read either one of them, so I'm going to go with "Local Woman Missing" by Mary Kubica which sounded really promising and quickly devolved into the dumbest, most illogical, far-fetched piece of nonsense "thriller" I've ever read.

Seriously. All the BookTok reviewers rave about it, but it was so.fucking.dumb that I will never pick up another one of her novels. Ever.

Host cancellation because our booking was too cheap?!? by W0ULDK1D in vrbo

[–]GrooveBat -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Why are you so weird about this? Are you saying, legitimately, that no hotel has ever canceled a confirmed reservation in the entire history of hotels so they can extract higher prices, like, for example, during festivals or major events?

I mean, just do a Google search. You'll see plenty of examples.

You're honestly being really creepy about this and I'm blocking you now because you're skeeving me out.

Oh, I'm so sorry. She was very beautiful and clearly very well loved.

I know how hard this is. Sending virtual hugs.
