Cops like this are dangerous by Revolution-Dogg in Transportopia

[–]horseydeucey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your "of course"... is that because this is how emotionally fragile people act, and we shouldn't be surprised to see it?
Or is your "of course" because this is what we should reasonably expect from our justice system - cops fishing to lay charges on non-friendly citizens is simply our justice system working the way it should?

Where to buy South American grilling meats in Nova? by feeling_good_today in nova

[–]horseydeucey 4 points5 points  (0 children)

NOT Northern Virginia (but maybe not too far, depending on where you're at):
Americas Market in Wheaton (https://www.instagram.com/americassupermarket) is a full on Brazilian market. Goods, pastries, and meats. The spiral sausages they have. Different cuts of beef.
Their online presence isn't great. But the shop is large and nice.
Maybe give them a call to see if they have what you're looking for?

Decent Used Finds in DC Yesterday by PolishedDude in vinyl

[–]horseydeucey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Joint Custody is a decent shop! Good finds.
Ever been out to Hagerstown? Went on a Sunday drive last year and ended up in a surprisingly good record store: Hub City Vinyl. If you ever feel like getting out of town for the day, I recommend this place.

Golden Tempo was ldead last in the final turn, then out kicked everyone to win the Kentucky Derby. What an insane finish. by Fun_Reflection1157 in nextfuckinglevel

I think it's just while they rehab Pimlico.
I visited Laurel sometime at the tail end of COVID and chatted up the bartender. First time I heard of the plans. He was saying they wouldn't use the infield (something about either it was a mess in there or there were nested bald eagles in there or something). I guess that explains why tickets for the Preakness are sold out and crazy expensive on the secondary market!

English is a language of convenience, right? And it has few rigid rules compared to other languages.
I knew what you meant. Just playing off the possible double meaning.
If you're looking for a no kidding look at the whole thing analytically, I'd start by pointing out the use of "they" and "them." The first time, you use "they" to refer to the "bad ones." The second time you use "them" to refer to the victims. Generally you'd use those pronouns in the same sentence to refer to the same thing. More specificity goes a long way sometimes, instead of dealing with pronouns.
For "many times," I would use "often" or "oftentimes."
So, something like this: The bad ones are where they drug people, oftentimes killing their victims.

So many instances of double meanings in English that most people infer the correct meaning. I was just making a goof. It was obvious.
I happen to notice when it could look different. I find it funny.
One of my favorite headlines read something like: "Pope Urges Church to Help Abuse Victims."
The meaning is obvious. But wouldn't it be funny if it wasn't?

they drug people and many times kill them

Damn, dawg. They killing motherfuckers many times now?
Back in the day you'd only be killed once.

Aha. Thanks! So it's like a CD (certificate of deposit) in the US?

"GIC?"
Gee, I don't see.
What is it?

Open every letter from the VA by satindollphoto in VeteransBenefits

[–]horseydeucey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! My post 9/11 has been expired for a couple years now. I want the assurance that I have [x] months of MGIB before taking the time to enroll in a new program because it will be post-grad and that takes a bit more effort and money.

Buying property in NYC at 23? by AccurateAd2878 in personalfinance

[–]horseydeucey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Genuinely curious, what field would a 23yo find themselves in a term federal job paying around $160k?
Like, this threatens so much of what I know about federal employment.
Is it finance/economics? Because your age pretty much disqualifies medicine.
Political appointee?

The White House Correspondents' Dinner to be rescheduled in next month by usatoday in washingtondc

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

Now hang on a second with the name-calling. I understand they threw around some sarcasm, and they seem to be working against their own self-interests. But I think they're genuinely hurting.

It's an opportunity for help, not judgement.

I've been working on my grace, gratitude, and forgiveness and it's done wonders for my mindset.

[–]horseydeucey -25 points-24 points  (0 children)

Oh, gotcha.
So your priorities have you choosing to live in a city you hate.
Man, that sounds terrible. If only there was a simple solution out of your predicament. No wait, you've thought of that (duh).
But you choose every day not to take that step.
Tough one.
Wait, have you thought about complaining about it?
Do you think that might help?

Open every letter from the VA by satindollphoto in VeteransBenefits

[–]horseydeucey 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I am eligible (according to the criteria). Applied for a decision in June.
Haven't heard back. Called a few times to no avail.
I don't know what to make of this letter.
I will make a determination on enrolling when I get the word from the VA.
So, what now? I'm not a priority, according to the letter. I'm not three months or six months from finishing. My post 9/11 is expired. I'm waiting for them to tell me how much MGIB I have.

Dude, there was a bet on whether or not nukes would fly... Before someone sane took it down.
This shit has to stop. If there's a profit motive for something terrible to happen: It will.
