"The Columbus Police Department was conducting a welfare check on a subject following a report of potential self-harm," Nebraska State Patrol said in a press release.
"We made sure that the subject did not chicken out of his threat."
I am completely surprised that any GOP congress critters broke from the party line and voted against impeachment for reasonable reasons like a lack of any reason to impeach.
Pretty sure McDonald's has had more than a 200% increase in menu prices over the last 6 years. Pretty sure labor and other overhead has gone down, and last I checked those were a bigger portion of the menu price than the food itself.
Spittin' words of wisdom right there.
That was my experience as a boy and now a man. It isn't inherently a negative thing because it is shorthand for expectations, but it becomes absolutely horrible when people try to force it on others instead of acknowledging that gender roles are generalizations and not written in stone.
Why not both?
The same is true for music, types of movies, and pretty much anything else entertainment related as well. For the most part people like familiar things.
People are just more likely to comment on what is current, because there is a combination of immediate relevance and the assumption that the current thing is an indicator of how something will be moving forward. The complaints about Discovery were a lot more frequent and angry prior to SNW taking off as having an alternate that someone likes makes it easier to ignore the stuff they don't. Stuff that came out 10 years ago can be easily ignored, and to be honest most people got their frustration out already.
I watched the first couple seasons of Discovery and blame the writing for stopping. The actors did a fine job with what they had, the special effects were great, but boy howdy I did not care about anything plot wise after a while because everything was universe ending stakes and apparently insubordinate leads don't need to succeed to justify being insubordinate. Or learning anything from failure, that is off the table!
The best characters were all the side characters, who acted like normal people that learn things and have rational reasons when they don't listen to authority when authority is wrong. Again, I blame this entirely on the writing.
Pretty sure they got bought out around 2010ish which is when they went to complete shit.
Helping companies suck even more money out of renters.
