  1. This was a fun read. Fact check: Wrestlers have 100 pages of posts, not 7.
  2. My wife called me at work, in a state is distress. Our daughter had fallen off stairs landed face first on concrete. She looked like Warf from Star Trek. The ER was 1 mile from my house. The doctor ordered a cat scan to check for brain swelling. No bones were broke. No brains were swelled. Time healed all wounds. My insurance sent had me describe the 5Ws and How the accident occurred. The health care bill was only covered 20%. My insurance explained that the average cost of a cat scan in my community was 80% lower than I was charged. I provided a dictionary definition of community, and google mapped how this ER was the only hospital in my community. The insurance group paid my bill. 15 years later, I am still angry.
  3. https://www.courthousenews.com/daniel-penny-went-way-too-far-in-jordan-neely-subway-death-prosecutors-say-at-trial-start/ https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/courthouse-news-service/ (highly factual, least biased)
  4. And it is irrelevant to the experience of actual passengers expressing fear of an immediate threat unlike anything they've experienced in years of subway use.
  5. Maybe the blue party could have bought X at the $9.3B valuation that Fidelity had quoted. That isn't much more than the $6.9B they spent on the 2024 election cycle.
  6. Apparently there was "something" about this trip that scared two passengers in a way they had never been scared before on a subway after 6 and 30 years. Beyond the "satanic grumbling" and "trash throwing," perhaps it was the lunging and declaration that "somebody is going to die today" and that he is "headed to rikers."
  7. "Mangione is subscribed to anti-capitalist and climate-change causes, according to law-enforcement sources, citing online activity gleaned by authorities."
  8. Passengers said that Neely was threatening them and they were scared in a way they have never been after 30 years of subway use. One witness testified to the grand jury that Neely’s menacing words — which included ravings that “someone is going to die today” and that he was “ready to go to Rikers” — were “insanely threatening” and delivered with a “sickening” and “satanic” bent. A witness “believed he was going to die as Neely began approaching him,” the motion read. “He described the moment as ‘absolutely traumatizing’ beyond anything he had ever experienced in six years riding the subway,” the lawyers wrote. And a different person — this time, a retiree who’s been riding the subway for more than three decades — told the grand jury that she’d never been more scared. “I have encountered many things, but nothing that put fear into me like that,” she testified. Passenger Moriela Sanchez's 911 call said that Neely was “trying to attack everybody.” Passenger Caedryn Schrunk said "There was a moment where I truly thought I was going to die," Another witness — who was with her young son — told the grand jury that Neely said he wanted to hurt people. “I want to go to Rikers, I want to go to prison,” she recalled him saying, adding that her nervous son asked her why the man would want to be jailed. “Mother and son took cover behind her son’s stroller, shielding themselves from Neely, who was now making ‘half-lunge movements’ and coming within a ‘half a foot of people,” the attorneys wrote. Another witness, who was commuting from her high school, said she put her hand on her classmate’s chest and began “praying them doors would open” the second Neely said someone would die. Other passengers said that Neely was throwing trash at passengers I cannot find the 52-page motion with eye witness testimony available to the public. Above are lesser discussed newspaper quotes from passengers.
  9. look up the definition of murder
  10. These people are more revolting than the hitman. Mental health counseling doesn't fix this darkness. We need counter celebration t-shirts that shames these people.
  11. The celebration of murdering the CEO is on par with the college crowd at KSU that yelled "jump" to the suicidal kid on the upper dormitory window. Super DARK!!!
  12. Greetings! I'm new here. My name is Chill Monster, and I'm thrilled the Chinese and Russians have accepted me into this forum.
  13. I'd feel safer if I saw a *black Perry restrain a *white Neely on a train, given the publicly shared context. I'm over this identity politics nonsense. To me, justice is no charges at all or just criminally negligent homicide without incarceration. Maybe Perry could perform community service and get counseling. It recognizes the tragedy without punishing someone for trying to keep everyone safe. *switching the races changes nothing.
  14. Glad II ator is worth viewing in the theatre.
  15. I am deeply thankful that we have permission to speak freely again, that local high school wrestling starts next week, and that my family is in good health. The smoked cowboy lollipops will be delicious. Today is a beautiful day and I am happy for it. What are you grateful for?
  16. The legislative government should do the following: Each piece of legislation should be voted independently without being bundled with other unrelated issues Legislators must provide written explanations for their votes, where the vote and reasoning are made public The legislative calendar, debate times, and outcomes should be not only accessible but also user-friendly and promoted to the public. The public can directly vote on issues to be considered by the legislature If the issues voted on by the public are not addressed or voted upon by the legislators, the legislative leaders can be impeached When the publics interests are addressed with transparency, the government is accountable to represent its people. Now people understand the impact their representatives have and can vote them out.
  17. A classical liberal can't reasonably identify as liberal because the word liberal means different things to different people.
  18. The study claims that DEI training can lead people to misinterpret neutral or ambiguous situations as acts of hostility or racism, labeling anyone with a differing view as a bigot. This creates a pressure to conform or remain silent, reminiscent of authoritarian control. When training implies that not fully supporting DEI ideas means you're morally wrong or dangerous, it justifies extreme measures to enforce conformity, mirroring the tactics of radical groups. https://networkcontagion.us/wp-content/uploads/Instructing-Animosity_11.13.24.pdf Did we need a study to observe and infer this?
  19. Update I did not buy into Roblox. From Feb 1st to Nov 25, it is up 26%. Not all activity is pictured. SOFI has tailwinds behind it and is ahead of schedule on growth. COTY has headwinds in front of it, but the price is beaten down and is a buy under $8 (for me). My price targets for SOFI and COTY are 30% up in March 2025. I'm thinking of moving out of BABA and LUV. Not sure to move to cash, bonds, existing holdings, or new opportunities. Do you own due diligence.
  20. Nope. Reason 243 why X is better is because of Community Notes like below.
  21. Just to confirm it says inflation adjusted in the image, under the chart.
