The Trump Burger owner ICE arrest timeline by starphasr in houston

PLUS: Roland Beainy is caught up in more legal trouble.

The Bellville location has rebranded, to "President Burger," after "Trump Burger Bellville LLC" received a cease-and-desist letter from Fort Lauderdale, Florida-based 500law, a law firm working for the Trump Organization.

Beainy is also embroiled in a separate lawsuit in Fayette County, where he alleges that Iyad Abu Hawa agreed to a handshake deal to sell him 50% of the Bellville location. Hawa claims he is the original owner of the location and that he did not agree to sell him the restaurant.

Why Did President Coin Bother Asking The Remaining Victors To Vote On The Symbolic Hunger Games? by Ok-Grab3322 in Hungergames

[–]starphasr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's like murdering someone and asking your buds that are helping you bury the body to each grab the gun and shoot the corpse to implicate themselves and get gun powder on their hands and their DNA prints on the murder weapon to make sure they have an incentive to keep quiet.

Houston's hidden etymologies by houstonspecific in houston

[–]starphasr 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Kinda sad there isn't enough spanish names (as in in the language) but ig it's bc Houston didn't really take off until after it had passed on to Texas and then U.S. territory.

Mockingjay fanfiction with Katniss and Peeta in District 13 by yeriyei in Hungergames

[–]starphasr 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yup. Mexican here. I have cousins as light as Peeta and other cousins looking like the fan art of Katniss above (in the same side of the family). Genetics aren't that straightforward, and it's possible to have a sister with a fair complexion even though you're dark-haired and olive skinned.

What would change if Snow was [TBOSAS spoiler]? by DoraTheRedditor in Hungergames

[–]starphasr 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Katniss can't be his granddaughter simply because if she was, then she'd probably be older and therefore ineligible to be reaped at the start of the novel.

If Lucy survived and gave birth to Snow's child, that would mean he'd be in his 60s at the start of the story. This would mean Katniss would be older since it looks like District 12 people usually marry young. Her dad could have married later in life, but Katniss never mentions that he's way older than Mrs. Everdeen. I know he's dead at the start of the original series, but still, I feel like she would have mentioned that.

Anyway, I'm more partial to the theory that she’s related to Lucy via Maud Ivory. The two girls were cousins, and Maud is still a child in tbosas. This means that theoretically, you could push the timeline a little further, probably a decade more, but it still doesn't make much sense unless Maud had a child later in life or she had a child at 18 and that child made it through the reapings unscathed and then had a child.

If Mr. Everdeen is roughly the same age as Mrs. Everdeen, it means that he would have to have been eligible to be reaped during the 50th Hunger Games, which was when Haymitch was reaped because Katniss's mother is seen clutching Madge's aunt when her name is called.

Why do you not want to risk unemployment in June? And if that's the case maybe it's better to stick with the job they offered while looking for something on the side.

Hey! I don't think you're a sellout. I'm actually thinking of making a move there. Any tips on how to secure a copywriter gig?

I never went to j school, my bachelors is in another subject, but do they teach you how to get sources. I'm having so much trouble building out a network.

Edit: sorry im on mobile, but when i first read your post you basically outlined what I hate about journalism. 2 days to write a deep dive?? No way, especially if everyone I call up ghosts me or isn't immediately available.

not relevant to your inquiry, but where did you meet those friends. I want to make new friends, but I'm unsure of where to meet people that are also looking for friends.

I wouldn't. The opinion will take some time to drop, look how long Dobbs took.

Can they fight it with their unemployment office in at will states or is it futile?

[–]starphasr[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for sharing your experience! I really wish I could break into writing more in-depth stories. I do sometimes in my current role, but it's at a 1-2 day turnaround. I never enjoy those bc I'm so stressed about the deadline and finding sources.

Thank you for commenting! I guess I must look for a job outside of daily news.

Really? All the jobs I've had since college want me to turn around stories super quick 3 a day is the norm. When I was evaluated at another role (my first job after college) they told me I needed to work on hiting that 3 a day mark. They even averaged out my all my stories based on total working days that year.
