  • I doubt it was anything that insidious. I'm thinking its more the carelessness of taking a household resource and removing it to a private space making it unavailable to the rest of the house. Someone that doesn't think of others would do that, and it was likely simply the most recent example of him doing that.

  • We once did a side-by-side comparison of KitKats (we live right on the border) and the difference was stunning.

    Bad comparison on that one. KitKat brand in the USA is an entirely different company that the rest of the world. So they aren't even the pretending to be the same recipe.

  • I'm the last person to ever use the "both sides the same" but our side had some of that same problem during Obama's first term. Yes, key legislation was passed, but just barely and even some of those bills had some compromises.

  • Garak and Bashir walk into a bar

  • Bashir: Garak, "creation limited only by imagination" doesn't say that its Barbie's imagination. What we're dealing with here is a question of agency. She's a slave to someone else's imagination! Its diabolical!

    Garak: Hmm, Are you sure? Who among us truly has agency? Look at me. I'm a simple tailor swept along on the currents of events far greater than myself. Do I have agency? Do you?

    Bashir: Of course you do, and I do too! Would I be sitting here drinking a very fine Raktajino with you if I didn't want to? What person or force put me here against my will?

    Garak: Why, my dear doctor....I did.

    Bashir: Your charming wit and presence aside, Garak, I assure you I'm here at my own volition.

    Garak: Oh? How do you think that 20th Century Earth music track by Aqua came to you? Sheer accident? Agency? Please. Still, I'm very glad you came, I do so enjoy our little talks. Can I get you another Raktajino while you tell me all about your magnificent agency?

  • I think there’s a reason assumptions make an ass out of you

    Sure, you could say that about any new story you read on the internet. I have no desire and am in no position to act on my assumptions here on this news story, so I think making assumptions like these are fairly benign.

    I also think there's a good amount of evidence that the nephew here is the cause of his own downfall. The uncle isn't the first man that the nephew has stabbed to death:

    "In the documents, with sources confirming, Denver police previously arrested Vigil on Sept. 3, 2021, for the death of Timothy Gama, 54."

  • According to a probable cause statement obtained by FOX31, Vigil told officers that someone in the house was making a sandwich and asked for hot sauce. When Vigil reportedly responded that the condiment was in an upstairs bedroom, a verbal dispute broke out and quickly escalated into a physical fight.

    I can't tell if I'm just getting old and jaded, but the 20 year old murder nephew was living with extended family (the Uncle), and while living there he decided that the household hot sauce bottle was acceptable to take (and keep?) in his personal bedroom. This smells like a certainly level of entitlement on the part of the nephew. The nephew then killing the uncle in the uncle's own house says it even more.

  • Controversial Telegram Co-Founder Says He'll Leave $17 Billion Fortune to His 106 Children

  • In fairness, offing someone means your share goes up less than 1%, making the risk-reward for murder math out beneficial for everyone.

    Less than 1% (106 kids), so each share would be $160m each. However, if the murdering offspring has crossed the line into murder, why stop at just one murder? A single murder would net each surviving offspring an extra $1.5M. This also assumes there is only one murdering offspring. As soon as the first murder occurs there might be a second or third copycat murderer. With only 90 surviving offspring each survivor is getting a cool $188m each.

    However, if that 17 billion was split between two or three children, we might have the beginning of an Agatha Christie novel.

    Maybe not an Agatha Christie book, but the interesting novel would arrive where in the story one of the offspring figures out this math, and identifies common locations where more than one offspring would be at one time. So a single incident would net them multiple hits, and be hidden from obvious intent.

    "Tonight, sadness grips the city as the roof of the Claridon Center Arena fell in during the sold out concert. At this hour officials confirm 37 dead as the search for survivors continues. No cause has been reported for the roof failure yet."

    "A city bus was engulfed in flames when a stolen fuel tank truck collided with it at high speeds. There were no survivors on the bus carrying 42 people. Curiously, the tank truck driver escaped unharmed at is being sought by police even now for questioning."

  • So if one of his offspring were to kill another one of his offspring the murdering offspring's share goes up (along with all the other surviving offspring)? This sounds like a dangerous announcement.

  • I never understood why trump did the pope thing. I think I get it now. He wants to sell Indulgences.

    "However, the abuse of indulgences for almsgiving, so that they became a method of moneyraising or ignored the requirements for contrition or charity, had become a serious problem which the church recognized but was unable to restrain effectively.[9]"
