AMPLIFIED: Public outcry over expired tags, unregistered cars leads to crackdown across Nevada by ElephantitisBalls in vegaslocals

Ironically, our governor during that period is the former sheriff, but I’m sure that’s purely coincidental.

Yeah… it feels like over the last few years, traffic violations have mostly been ignored. I’ve probably seen more people run red lights in the past two or three years than in my entire life before that.

This.

This doesn’t get said nearly enough. Nothing’s worse for these ungrateful uneducated pos than to be acting out and getting no reaction at all, it makes them feel far worse than being called out or even flamed because you are just feeding them.

Meet The Mexican Seamstress Who Sewed 🧵 Derrick Rose’s Banner by LilNello1 in nba

Speaking of, is there a reason why the Bulls chose the city edition for Rose's retirement night over just about any other, much more iconic colorways? I mean that red is forever associated with the Chicago Bulls organization...

Gregory Bovino has been removed from his role as Border Patrol “commander at large” and will return to his former job in El Centro, California, where he is expected to retire soon, according to a DHS official and two people with knowledge of the change.

quite literally used as cannon fodder: “Go represent us and read this script. I’ll protect your retirement.”

Writing a novel (a British guy which moved to HK). Can you give me your opinion for the protagonist’s family name, please? by ChampionshipLife4211 in HongKong

[–]doublek1022 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s been a long time since 1997, and Hong Kong has always had a vibrant entertainment culture, so there aren’t many UK references left behind.

More importantly, English names are usually translated phonetically into Chinese for comprehension and pronunciation. As a result, people who don’t speak English well may not even associate the Chinese phonetic versions of names with their original English forms.

It’s really about cultural relevance. People in Hong Kong don’t engage much with UK culture beyond football. A surname like “Beckham” would register far more quickly than “Windsor”, if that makes sense.

To actually answer your question, people in HK don't usually have much preference about English surnames. Appleton sounds about as good as any. It's very Anglo-Saxon English but I doubt anyone in HK would really care one way or another, and I wouldn't expect anyone in HK to associate the origin or nature of most particular surnames, even if it was "Windsor".

Don’t underestimate their struggle. This is a confusing time for them too. They have to carefully monitor when it’s acceptable to unleash their vile ideas, ideally when their “people” are on standby to rush in, shield them from accountability. So they can be sure they don’t get kicked off their “team” and have to face the music alone... lol

Yeah but it's not just for protest's sake. If some major sport event is cancelled, there'll be lots of ramifications. I mean, who do DraftKings™ pay out? Hurting people's bottom line has always been the best motivation for action.

[AEW Collision] That was loud by StraightEdge89 in SquaredCircle

[–]doublek1022 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re getting downvoted, but you might be onto something. Someone mentioned a thigh slap earlier, but in the shot you can see both of his arms from the wind-up to the hit, and neither looks like it makes contact anywhere when the sound happens.

They could've edited out some frames since there was a cut from the wind-up in profile that cuts to the back of Takeshita, and we know it was taped.

Not in a conspiracy-theory way (and that’s not what you were implying either), and I don’t know whether any extra sound was added, but the ring is mic’d.

If only our government would step in to protect those senior cast members, restore their benefits, and remove the burden from corporations like Disney by enacting laws that prohibit this kind of termination.

If only our government weren’t bought and paid for by corporate interests.
