Greg That's a hard on(e) to top :>) Was best good news story of the day until he tried to spray paint the driver ---- had to ruin a good time. Defacing is pretty bad but it's not violent (until you try to do it to a person)
My sister likes to put decorative magnetic covers over her mail box. She had a fall one up that suddenly disappeared, being replaced by a St. Pat's version. She was livid, creating conspiracy theories about her neighbors, road rage stories, theft and the like. I said, come on, must be a joke. If they replaced it, can't be simple vandalism or theft. She kept on..... Her daughter and friend fessed up later that night :>)

Unbelievable! Sit-ups as punishment?
A 16-year-old Indian girl was raped — then burned to death by her attackers when her family sought justice, according to reports. Bhuiyan took her for a motorcycle ride along with his cousin, Sudhir Bhuiyan. She was allegedly raped in a wooded area and then brought back to the wedding about an hour later.
The council on Friday ordered Bhuiyan’s family to pay a fine of 50,000 rupees, or about $750, and apologize to the girl’s family. The accused men were also told to do 100 sit-ups each. The ruling led to a fistfight. In the meantime, an enraged Dhanu Bhuiyan allegedly went to the girl’s house, beat her up, poured gasoline on her and lit her on fire.

Wow. a 3 week high for "Roscoe", then he got to be set free. Awesome for him apparently. Aside from her one-time experiment, she's only a Licensed Marijuana Therapist for humans. She doesn't mention having sourced any data from any studies (and you know with government grants someone has to have thought of and done this) to prove that crustaceans, most significantly lobsters, experience the same or greater effects of THC on their nervous systems, etc.
Without actual scientific data behind it, I think it seems more like a "feel good" measure to assuage her "guilt" at killing them. Now what about all those crabs??? Better start getting them high too.
I’m not even going to bother looking it up but crabs n lobsters don’t have lungs or blood like mammals so how does the smoke get into thier body? Like a meat smoker? Thats alot of weed.

http://www.aei.org/publication/nea-embraces-the-woke-agenda-but-votes-down-student-learning/
I find it weird that our national teachers union, the NEA, at its yearly national convention, didn’t pass a vote to “re-dedicate itself to the pursuit of increased student learning in every public school in America” or think that the “NEA will make student learning the priority of the Association”. That seems like a no brainer for an association of “teachers” to me.
Instead, a variety of social priorities were passed they have nothing to do with education. Eye opening article, assuming it’s premise is true.

She apparently said she WANTS to capitalize on her body since everyone told her not to and she felt ashamed of it and then this quote: "“I can't stay dependent on my parents or even the state for that matter — not that there's anything wrong with that — it just doesn't feel comfortable for me,” she said." I thought most women have been saying they're tired of being objectivized because of their body...
I guess one could give her points for thinking "out of th...", but therein would be the conundrum, for reasons I won't expand on, of course.
Well, to each their own, but I hope she's fully weighed the risks and rewards, unless she just means to shock her parents and the public by such a statement and get some kind of other offer to convince her not to go down that path. There are people who are well-balanced and intelligent in that industry, as well as people who were injured before, during and after they were in it, or of course ended up dead.

I like "ghost plants." Very easy to care for.
1. Light is not important, matter of fact they thrive in the dark.
2. Do not water, does not help and can make a mess.
3. Do not prune (unless you want a small ghost plant.)
4. Do not fertilize -- it's a waste, trust me.
5. Can be transplanted but never propagated. The "ghosting method" can be done on other living plants though. I have done it often.
Hope that helps :>)

It's funny how they claim to been having a "private" conversation, even though it could easily be heard several tables away. At least her side of the conversation, since she just couldn't stop publicly making an a$$ out of herself, rather than just speaking with the manager to express her "dissatisfaction" and/or "outrage".
On the other hand, I also felt that the people recording only helped to exacerbate things. They decided to record and make a running commentary, rather than complain to the management about their "dissatisfaction and outrage" at the lady, especially around the children, which seemed to be a good part of their point.
It's funny that once the guy threw the beer, issuing a challenge to fight, all consideration for the impressionable children went out the door, as plenty of cursing was heard from the people at the table where it was being recorded. People (including the police) often don't realize that nobody needs their permission to record them in a public venue. Apparently, the husband threw his fit, either at his wife's behest or because he was offended that her behavior was going to go public.
Now to the salient point. Supposedly, the restaurant had a restroom for Transgender people, which may have been the "Family" one, with a changing table, etc. Before going through surgery and as part of the required process during psychological evaluation, Transgender people are supposed to both dress and use the facilities of the gender they identify with and are hoping to receive surgery for. Normally, they are also already on hormonal therapy as well. I realize that not everybody agrees and I don't want to start controversy about it, but I DO want to share that they aren't in there for any kind of perverse gratification, though yes, there is the possibility that someone outside of the Transgender community may try to take advantage of that part of the process for their own desires.
To do that, is of course illegal. True transgender individuals do NOT want to garner any attention either and often try their best not to bring any attention to themselves when using the restroom and in many other situations. There is a lot of verbal and physical violence directed towards those in the transgender community. People may not agree with them, but could at least be tolerant and understanding, rather than hateful and/or violent. I hope I've stated the case well enough for the transgender community. While I'm not a part of it, I've talked with my cousin, who is, as well as some other members. They're people too.
There's also another possibility, that "she" was a biological female. In the early 80's we were visiting the bar/club at the Harmony Manor and a friend visited the restroom. When she came out, another girl started loudly proclaiming, "EWWW, a GUY was using the ladies room. That's disgusting" I responded that THEY were the disgusting party and that my friend was more of a woman than they could hope to be, unless they grew up. I had seen how much they'd hurt my friend, even though she tried not to show it.
The odd thing was that while she was somewhat androgynous and if she was 5'8"-6' and used makeup, she could have been a model. However, at 4'11 (and a half, as she noted), dressing like a tomboy and not using any makeup, she didn't feel she had to meet societies "expectations" for how she should dress, etc. She rarely ran across anyone that crass however.
The lesson here is that the "lady" on video shouldn't have assumed, but perhpas quietly relayed her concerns to management. It's just that easy!
There is no evidence that a transgender person even existed in the situation, except in that woman's head.
But for a middle school vice principal to be that drunk in the middle of the afternoon to react like that... he's got no business being in a position of authority over impressionable children, when he's nothing but a child himself.
But after "spending a couple minutes" with his missus... while I can't condone it, I can certainly understand it. I would need to be permanently medicated and stone deaf to be able to coexist with her, lol.
