Why do social workers get upset when you don't want their help?
  • Ah, that’s unfortunate. If you say you’re happy in your SUV then showing you places to live that aren’t your SUV isn’t very helpful. Having a discussion about whether you’re aware of and prepared for any risks associated with living in an SUV could be productive - either you’d learn something from social worker’s knowledge of many people living in vehicles or the social worker could be reassured that you’re not in a terrible situation.

    Do be careful out there! I hope you’ve got enough cash in the bank or enough credit to recover if someone messes with your SUV.

  • Israel detonates Hezbollah walkie-talkies in second wave after pager attack
  • From a spy craft and capabilities standpoint it’s an amazing attack. I’m skeptical that using the devices as bombs is more useful than using them for spying, but who knows? It is super fucked up that random people who happen to be near the targets could be hurt. But between that and the stuxnet attack, it’s safe to say that Israel is capable of crazy sophisticated attacks.

  • Israel detonates Hezbollah walkie-talkies in second wave after pager attack
  • So if I understand correctly, Israel managed to get a bunch of people in Hezbollah to use pagers and walkie talkies that contained bombs. But they have not been able to gather enough intelligence from control of those communication devices to find and rescue the remaining hostages? And if they weren’t able to catch useful information from those devices, why did the people holding those devices deserve to get blown up?

  • J.D. Vance Can’t Explain Why Trump Threw Him Under the Bus in Debate
  • He has never given any indication that he did it for moral reasons. He has consistently described service members as suckers and has expressed confusion about why anyone would be willing to serve. Have you ever seen any indication that Trump was opposed to the war in general or is a pacifist or skipped out for any reason other than it is unpleasant and dangerous? Granted, I don’t know that Bill Clinton was super anti-war either, but I guess it bothers me less when the draft dodgers don’t openly mock service members and POWs.

  • Enoch Burke: Irish teacher in transgender row jailed for third time
  • Burke accused the court of denying him his religious rights, which included his belief in two genders, male and female. "This is a mockery of justice," he told the judge.

    He can exercise his “religious rights“ to be a bigot, but not at the school and not as a teacher.

  • Cop went 75 mph in a 25 zone with no lights in unauthorized pursuit
  • A Seattle police officer was reprimanded for driving three times the speed limit without emergency lights and blazing through a solid red light at 50 mph, according to a recently released disciplinary report. Ofc. Ernest Cleaves initiated the pursuit without authorization after a stolen SUV backed into him and drove away.

    The vehicle had a tracker and was being followed by a helicopter. The cop also wasn’t certified for high speed pursuit, even if this was a situation that warranted a chase (which it was not). How bad to cops get to fuck up before they get fired? 75 in a 25 with no lights or sirens? It’s a miracle he didn’t kill anyone (I’m assuming this is a separate incident than the one where the cop actually did kill someone with this kind of bullshit)

  • Trump’s unsettling new question: ‘Why are we having an election?’
  • I think he’s referring to the DNC not having primaries. But with a sitting president parties don’t really have primaries to pick a candidate. But since Harris moved into Biden’s place on the ticket, Trump has been whining about how it’s unfair 🙄.

    But then he gets all discombobulated and complains about having to deal with an election even though he was also just made the GOP candidate without any primary elections (I think?). At that point I lose the thread as he devolves into sundowning.
