Latte is German slang for boner…

Oh wow, I didn’t catch that, I thought he was offering one of his own unloved children to someone more caring or…sane and was a little confused. Your reading of it makes way more sense.

For example Hypothyroidism, Cushing syndrome, pco-syndrome or lipedema and several metabolic deficiencies. Then there’s also a plethora of psychological issues that can influence the metabolism and eating habits negatively. Even the social status has an proven effect on the bodyweight.

All we have is a couple of pictures of the child, it’s impossible to tell what is going on.

Well, one of her kids is obese, and I would call that abuse.

Personally I wouldn’t be so quick to judge on that. 1 out of 3 kids we can see in the photos is overweight, the other two look healthy. There might be something else at play with that one child, which is out of her control, we don’t know that.

Boner owner just rolls off the tongue. Say it out loud. Boner owner.

The linked article doesn’t say it was a AR-15 it says assault-style rifle and I would consider the specific model to be splitting hairs, since it hardly matters to the conversation.

But to be truly pedantic the article a little further down specifies it as an Assault style semi-automatic rifle, so fair enough.

but to clarify that fully automatic weapons are much more rare, and much more dangerous.

Agreed. Still, semi-automatic assault style rifles pose a unique danger in that they could be “upgraded” to fire full auto, although it being illegal. Most of those are derived from regular fully automatic weapons and the layout allows them to be converted more easily. For example a SL08 with I think 4 parts switched can be operated like it’s military counterpart, the G36.

Afaik there is no state where an underage person is allowed to handle assault style fully automatic weapons without the supervision of a parent or legal guardian. So even if it is his gun, it falls under parental supervision until 18 years old.

Semi automatic or hunting rifle is a little more murky.

Anyway I think that your comment nailed it - a person under 18 was able to obtain and handle a gun without supervision is a failure to secure.

So probably a fake story is what I’m reading?

“useful idiots” comes to mind, though one might qualify that as “suddenly rich, useful idiots.”

First of all - hilarious sentence.

Second - Tim Pool is the incarnation of useful idiot, no surprise here.

Oh yeah, i’m not talking about stuff for a healthy skin, dry skin is massively annoying, I have a skincare routine for that too. But the obsession with everlasting young skin is unhealthy.

The only good shit is coming to terms with the inevitable passage of time and to not stigmatize the process of aging. We’ll all get wrinkles eventually, get used to it.

My grandpa took issue with the seagulls harassing everything else in his backyard, so he bought a slingshot and shot them with grapes “They don’t get hurt by a squishy grape, they get scared and the pigeons are happy about the grapes”

Or the beautiful German terms “Erdkampfflugzeug” or “Schlachtflugzeug”

Meh, close enough for the general public and us nerds know what a SU25 actually is.

Sorry if it came of as snarky, I just wanted to point that out so people can make an informed decision.

I appreciate the input, so keep it up. Shadow of Mordor is a great game btw.

Just because you’re not paying with money doesn’t mean it’s free.

That’s nonsense, GPT would form more coherent sentences.

I mean, in the US there is a coal mine that has been burning since at least 1962 so not surprised that an oil depot can go for a couple of weeks

Only tangentially related -

I once read a book by a Holocaust survivor where he said (paraphrased) that the really nice ones didn’t survive the camps - the ones giving away part of their rations, the ones giving away their blankets to the sick, the ones standing up for their fellows, the ones trying to help the weaker, they were the first ones to be shot, or going into the gas chambers, or dying of hunger or disease. And those willing to be selfish were the ones more likely to survive.

Obviously no judgement or blame either way, in situations like these you’ll have to do what’s necessary but that point of view hit me really hard at the time “the really nice ones didn’t survive the camps”.

It made me truly realize the horror those camps represented, they didn’t just take their belongings, or their lives, or their dignity - they robbed them of their humanity to the point where being nice to your fellow people would get you killed and that was a horrific aspect that never made it into my consciousness until I read that sentence " the really nice ones didn’t survive the camps."
