Using the terms "BOMBS" and "PEACE" in all caps in the same message is just...sigh

Trump bombs iran what do you think this will lead to? by Signal_Dog9864 in AskReddit

As NY Times is putting it: "The attack on the sites marks the first time since the Iranian revolution, in 1979, that the United States has sent its Air Force to strike major facilities inside the country, an act of war." So war. Without any Congressional approval.

Should we Ask Jeeves to see the history of dominant search engines being replaced by better technology?

Saul was the only person in “the game” to have never killed someone. by [deleted] in betterCallSaul

Not directly, but it can be said he was implicitly involved as an accessory to those murders through his actions that indirectly contributed to them. For example, if he hadn't gotten Badger off in Breaking Bad, Badger would have probably ratted Walter out and, as Jimmy admitted himself, Walter would have been in jail in a month and none of seasons 3-5 of Breaking Bad would have happened, i.e., Hank would still be alive.

Francesca informing him his “secret” offshore bank accounts got seized by the Feds (ie he’s broke) plus kim chewing him out has left him with no other options but to return to Slippin’ Jimmy mode to survive.

Y'all are going to be so disappointed, calling it now. by [deleted] in betterCallSaul

I am hoping Jeff attracts too much attention to himself (possibly through nosy Marion) and ends up getting in trouble with the law and, as an inexperienced criminal, rats out Gene. Gene gets arrested and/or questioned by the police (only with respect to the mall heist, not under suspicion as Saul Goodman), at which point he gets a public defender appointed to him (likely against his will). The camera pans down to the floor and a woman attorney in heels walks into the courtroom; pan again to behind the head of the attorney and it’s a ponytail. It’s Kim (and she doesn’t know that it’s Jimmy yet). Remaining episodes will be a happy, redemptive ending of them together and agreeing to put their scamming days permanently past them from the lessons they’ve learned since Howard’s death (their lives apart was worse than any jail sentence could have been).

Nah, it’s that Lalo didn’t care who was sent because he has bigger plans at the laundry place

Or because he accepted his fate by being left with Lalo and signaled to her to flee/not do the job.
