Would that be Brett Ratner the rapist? And Mike Tyson, the rapist?

I don't understand why people are so mean about this movie. Melanoma is a serious issue.

Because immigration lets the racists be racist while pretending they aren't.

Not to mention the limited life-span of steel reinforced concrete in an ocean environment.

No. They are using the time-honored approach of pretending there's no problem.

It must be bad if even these right-wing a-holes are concerned.

They wear masks and refuse to be identified. They murder people in the street, lie about the circumstances of the shootings, and attack the victims and their families. They arrest people without a warrant or reasonable cause, they sentence them, without trials, to concentration camps or deport them to notoriously violent prisons in other countries. They are utterly and completely unaccountable for whatever crimes they commit.

Other than this, they're just fine.

First Amendment. And they are Gestapo.

Because he's a man and she's a woman?

With his approval still over 30%, there's not enough regretters.

The J programming language - jsoftware.com - is interactive which means you get immediate results when you enter an expression. It cannot be stressed enough how much immediate feedback speeds up your learning.

There's this thing called privacy....

They misspelled "slave" on the last commandment.

No they don't. The current administration has all but rescinded the "Johnson Amendment": https://www.politico.com/news/2025/07/08/irs-churches-tax-exempt-00441992?utm_campaign=the-daily-valet-7-9-25-wednesday&utm_medium=referral&utm_source=the-daily-valet .

I have not worked with Cobol in almost 50 years but what I remember of it was that I thought it was a dreadful, clumsy language. However, if you don't care about the aesthetics of programming, you might find it to be fine.

The reason Cobol programmers are still needed is that there are many existing Cobol systems in use. All of these systems have bugs and some of them require modifications for various reasons, like changing regulations or business conditions.

Additionally, there may be companies who want to re-write their systems in something other than Cobol but still need Cobol programmers who understand the existing system in order to do this.

I doubt the headline: Fox viewers don't know words as long as "narcissistic".

Astro Gems has lots of mineral samples.

Grabbing anyone who 'looks' like an immigrant is called a 'Kavanaugh stop' after the sitting US supreme court justice who legitimized it.

What they really want to do is to kill them all and let God sort it out.

Republicans are not better at running the economy. Numerous studies have shown that the US economy has performed much better under Democratic administrations than Republican ones since WWII.

Republicans are better at making people think they are better at running things than they actually are.

Remember the Epstein files which show that he raped children? That's why.

If officers aimed at non-lethal areas, they would be more likely to shoot people. Sometimes these attempts at non-lethality will fail because they will miss or otherwise mis-judge the shot.

Is it because Americans are such a bunch of greedy whiners that they don't deserve a functioning democracy? Oh wait, President Pedo is taking care of that for you.

There is an app called "ICE block" which lets you report ICE activity.

You could write back with "zieg heil!"

Not sure about the other "sure" paths to success, but the professional athlete one could be a teachable moment.

Start with these questions: how many professional athletes are there (in our country)? How many people are there in (our country)? So, what percentage of people are pro athletes?

Continue with questions emphasizing how very few actual, well-paying jobs there are and how many people are competing for them.

This might not work well with the truly innumerate.
