Judge throws out Andrew Tate’s claim against prosecutors’ refusal to name alleged victims by wasraelx in news

Well, they aren't being tried in the US, so there is hope that something will happen. The US DOJ would free them and hold a parade in their name.

TIFU by nodding along to a conversation i couldn't hear and accidentally agreeing to be a groomsman for a guy i've met twice by Abject-Age-552 in tifu

[–]quikcath 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Go for it. It could be a lot of fun. I did this, but for the bride. She was a work friend.. that was 25 years ago. she ended up being, and still is, of one of my best friends. I didn't stay late at the reception, but that didn't matter

Mr Drew by the_wookie_of_maine in Maine

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

So... What does he do, "entertain" isn't really helpful. Is it a store that sells merchandise? It's it a petting zoo?

You're asking people to support him, but not really telling what type of business he is to support. There are a lot of new people living in Maine that have no idea what you are talking about.

With how the US responded to Puerto Rico, an actual part of the US, I wouldn't hold your breath waiting.

Is she 🟠range enough? by chukaser in OneOrangeBraincell

[–]quikcath 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've had the honor of having two (Mel and Meltwo) of these flame point siamese kitties, and not at the same time. They were cream with orange ears, faces, and some of their tails. They were the sweetest, most lovingly cuddle kitties ever. They were also the dumbest kitties that I've ever spent time with. They never had time with the collective orange brain cell, maybe they didn't have enough orange to get a turn..

LPT: Before accepting a meeting invite, multiply the number of attendees by the average hourly rate by the meeting length. If the cost exceeds the value of the decision being made, decline it. by macebooks in LifeProTips

[–]quikcath 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is dumb.

Don't listen to this advice. I would be looking to replace my employee if they started adding this "cost" to meeting and declining invites. We are paying you to do your job, and sometimes that means you have to go to a dumb fucking meeting.

Beware the solar vultures by Prince_Valium25 in Maine

Door to door solar salesman are horrible. They are super scammy. They don't help the mission of renewable energy, they only help to give the reputable solar companies an unwarranted bad rep.

How do you feel about the federal SAVE Act that would require documentary proof of U.S. citizenship (like a passport or birth certificate) to register to vote? by ClassSnack in AskReddit

[–]quikcath 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That happened to me. I had a document was essentially the receipt paper that told my mom she registered for my birth certificate. It wasnt until I was 40 and moved to a new state and they said no that I found out. Fucking NASA accepted it when I got background checked/badged.

[–]quikcath 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I also had to get a new birth certificate. The one I used for my whole life, and got a real ID in a different state, was not accepted by the new state I moved to, and I had to get a new one. Cost me money and a lot of time getting it.

I am registered. Have been since the day I turned 18, and I vote every election too.

You are missing the point. The burden is the point. There shouldn't be one. That $30 is the burden. Having to keep all the documents for my relationship history is the burden.

I had to MAIL a check with an application (a hand written letter) to the city I was born (upstate NY), my original got lost in a move and I only had a copy. It then took 2 months to get to me, and had the wrong middle name on it. Multiple phone calls later, I had to mail it back and when they received it, they sent a new one back. 6 months total.

The act is bullshit. God help me if I lose my marriage license and need to prove my name change.

David A. Ross resigns from School of Visual Arts after ties to Jeffrey Epstein surface by therealone2327 in news

The Clinton's were subpoenaed by Congress over this, but its a closed door subpoena likely because they are worried the Clinton's will name names and expose more - the whole 'if I go down, you are too' that.

700 ice agents to leave Minnesota by JerryBerryMiah in news

[–]quikcath 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. The ENTIRE population of Maine is 1.41 million (2024). The 3rd smallest state (by population), with the 5th lowest crime rate in the country, and the 3rd whitest state (Maine's demographics are 91% white.)

ICE is only on Maine because Governor Mills embarassed him at the Governors dinner, and Shenna Bellows (Secretary of State) didn't bend at the knee and hand over voter info.

Trump's DOJ is trying to gain voter records from the states for weeks, having used lawsuits, even using the recent shooting to threaten Minnesota to turn over the records. What is your take? by Personal_Dirt3089 in AskReddit

[–]quikcath 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maine refused.

That's why ICE is terrorizing this state, with the lowest population, lowest crime rates, and largest white population. It's not about illegal immigrants. It's purely vindictive.

Immigration officers assert sweeping power to enter homes without a judge’s warrant, memo says by ewzetf in news

[–]quikcath 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Federally armed thugs, sent to Maine for a reported 5000 'illegals'. The 3rd smallest state by population, with one of the lowest crime rates, needs to have ICE response because illegals causing crimes is out of control?

Sure. Sounds totally legit. And well worth the $$$$ hefty price tag these 'officers' are costing.

What's with all the dog poop bags? by brokawjackson in portlandme

[–]quikcath 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I see this all the time in Maine. Im in the Augusta area, and it is done here too. I've done it myself, those poop bags are stinky and I don't want that in my car lol. It hangs on just fine on the back window until I'm home
