I'm pretty sure the scene from Mallrats was based on me. I stood and stared at those at the mall for days and could never see them. Finally one day - 20ish years later it finally clicked and now I can see them.

It's probably a pile of ash in Patel's back yard by now. Nothing to see here.

I killed some kittens when I was around 6. I was just playing and it was an accident, but it haunted me for years. To this day I can't stand hurting animals. I was legitimately saddened the other morning when I stepped on a snail on my front porch.

But I also know that my actions as a child don't make me a bad person now. Yes I try to make up for it. Not because I haven't forgiven myself, but because I know the pain of hurting something.

Keep in mind this is per capita. Overall the U.S. provides the most foreign aid by a wide margin. Over 10 billion dollars more compared to Germany and over 30 billion more compared to Norway.

Legally, there are a couple challenges to be made to his eligibility that will likely be brought by some states. The main one that comes to mind is If there is a case for insurrection then the 14th amendment applies.

Another potential is the 25th amendment. This would require J.D. Vance to get half of the cabinet on board to remove Trump from power. I'm wondering if this is something that is already in the works considering J.D. Vance's true feelings for Trump that were revealed in the past. It's probably a long shot, but who knows.

The Democratic Project 25 - as in the 25th Amendment on Day 1.

We all get it, the type of porn you watch is still legal even though it has teen in the name.

This is regarding a legal matter where the man's sentence will likely be decided by the fact that the court sees him as an adult. In most cases and as the other user pointed out 18 year olds are referred to as men in a legal context. This disturbingly seems to be the standard practice when describing black males of 18.

Generally speaking, describing alleged criminals as teens implies a lack of legal agency and thus biases the reader toward compassion. The point is that sometimes language can induce bias and consistency is needed. If that consistency falls towards the technicality of having the word teen in their name so be it, but that is not the case with our current media landscape.

Don't forget the joe user in the corner wearing a trench coat with a bomb strapped to his chest wired to a dead man's switch.

 

Haven't done any real art in decades. Decided I was feeling a little artistic yesterday and created this. Hope you enjoy.

Thanks for the pointer. I recolored a bit and updated based on your suggestion. I also reframed too just because it felt a little unfocused.

 

This is mostly done with brush strokes and blending in Affinity photo 1.8. Haven't done any real art in dozens of years. I'm happy with how this turned out.

Went to the lake when spring weather started to set in. There were four of these guys hanging around me keeping the mosquitos at bay. They sat with me the entire time I was there occasionally flying over to the water to drink and coming back.
