Deranged Rhino Posted July 12, 2019 Posted July 12, 2019 ? This won't end well... (if it ever starts). 1
Buffalo_Gal Posted July 12, 2019 Posted July 12, 2019 (edited) I am not certain anyone here knows about the Ravelry (they have (well, had) 8M members) kerfuffle that happened last month when all Trump support was banned from the site (patterns and such), and all Trump supporters were labeled "white supremacists". While I do not knit, crochet and am in no way a "yarnie", it was a hot topic among my friends (online and off). This article is written by someone who dislikes President Trump. It is an excellent article on how free speech is being treated, how insane the "radical left" are, and how diverse Trump supporters are. It is an excellent read, and if you have a few minutes, it will be worth your time. Inside the Twisted Ravelry ControversyHate is Love. War is Peace. Edited July 12, 2019 by Buffalo_Gal 1

Kidnapping, though...deadly force is totally allowed. 1

As 33 said above each case has to be taken individually. Video may prove that the thief was on the ground and visibly out of it while the father or someone else continued to pound on him. It might show that it was a knockdown fight and the last punch is what did it. Maybe when he was hit his head hit the concrete. Regardless, a lot of evidence and witness testimony will be needed before the PD can charge him or not.

The nearest one, however, is an undeveloped dirt road. It's not like a few hundred thousand people are driving there. 2) There's no infrastructure. It's 75 miles of empty dirt road. The only town is Rachel, Nevada, population 54. 3) Even if they get there, and somehow survive just being there...it's about a 20 mile walk from Rachel to Groom lake through the ***** Nevada desert. This is the best idea ever. I'm excited for it. 1

(thread) The two people on my team under 30 are two of my best performers. Of course, I've cut the dead weight by now, e.g. the guy who wanted credit for showing up on time, even though he did nothing. But I did have a guy today, probably just 30...I changed up the way my team works about two months ago, for reasons not worth getting in to. It resulted in him having more work and more responsibility. He told me today that he was really pissed when I did it, because he'd actually have to do something, but he discovered he's enjoying his job more because he's doing stuff. Believe it or not, I'm shockingly skilled at managing people. Even millennials. I haven't yet called anyone an idiot. 1

I thought this story was funny and given the details I told Sammy about it. He went OFF on me calling me some very mean names. Then he told me what I can do with the p and all the rest of the letters that are actually in hamster. It was raunchy and a bit scary; even for him. 2
