Internet rabbit hole. Mexico's cartel war.
I’m guessing he was only processed like a regular illegal crossing. Don’t think they detain everybody these days. I think they briefly hold them, set a court date where they can make their case for asylum or whatever, then release them. Probably didn’t have it in their system that an arrest warrant was issued from a country we expedite to. But the name eventually got flagged, and he was subsequently arrested for real.

Random thoughts that don't warrant a thread
Something has stuck with me for a long time, but for some reason it just popped back into my head and it got me into some deep thoughts on the matter. Many years back, I was talking to one of the older attorneys in my firm. I'd say she was in her late 50s or so. I referred to someone in the district clerk's office as a girl (e.g., "one of the girls in the office is pulling that for me") and she corrected me by saying "women, one of the women is working on it." I took her meaning. I guess it can comes across as ... belittling? chauvinistic? derogatory? something like that. I wouldn't say "one of the boys in the office is pulling that for me." I'd say "one of the guys..." But "boys and girls" are the common word pairing. Same with "men and women" or "ladies and gentlemen." But for guys, I guess it's "guys and gals?" I would never say "one of the gals over there is helping me." That sounds way worse. In a formal setting, like if I was in court, I think I'd say "one of the women" but I'd still say "one of the guys" if referring to a man. I think "guys" is generally acceptable in both a casual and formal context. I can't picture myself ever saying "one of the men in the office," but that's technically the equivalent word. Anyway, so my random thought on the matter: "Is there even a casual, female equivalent to "guys"? If not, is "girls" actually derogatory or offensive in every context when referring to an adult female?

A Pedophile Stole My Putter
I bought an antique MacGregor putter at Hancock golf course back in the 70's so this hits close to home

Multiple active shooters fired at main entrance of JBSA-Chapman Training Annex in San Antonio
So many random thoughts about this story. That’s a pretty good distance away from the guard both to the street. Coming back a second time, probably because nobody returned fire the first time, sounds like kids going home and bragging about it, somebody calling their bullshit, and tagging along with them for a second pass. How do they know the shooters have no connection to the military if they don’t know who the shooters are. Our police carry assault rifles all the time. Our military base security only carries 9mm? Even after they allegedly added additional security personnel following the first shooting?

I got that reference. First time it came on, my wife just said to me: "nobody has ever landed their dream job in Ohio."

Русский корабль - иди нахуй
They’re between $4-$8k a piece. Sounds pretty damn cheap to me considering they can probably carry a lot of explosive material. I like to picture it walking into a building with a stack of anti-tank mines on its back, reaching around to grab one, setting it on the ground, and then stepping on the pressure trigger.

This Guy Got Knocked The Fuckkkkk Out
Dude. Pounds per square inch. There’s like 20 square inches in that tire, and the recommended level is 35 PSI. Those tires weigh 700 pounds when inflated.

USWNT Olympic Soccer 2024
It really is awful. This far into the match, I still keep catching myself almost root for Germany. Neither uniforms make sense unless the camera is zoomed in on our ladies, but from a distance (as the majority of the match is viewed) it'd be better if they just switched uniforms entirely.

Texas Recruiting Notes 2025: Duck Around and Find Out
Galveston to Austin ~3.5 hours Galveston to Baton Rouge ~4.5 hours Galveston to College Station ~2.5 hours Can't imagine travel time is that big of a factor when looking at these three. It would certainly eliminate Oregon and USC though

Русский корабль - иди нахуй
That’s an interesting point that’s been on my mind for some time now. After the first few months of watching drones dropping grenades, I got pretty desensitized to the violence. But at some point, it started to shift back. I think I needed to be desensitized first before I could really process my thoughts on the overall aspects of war. I came to a very simple, and obvious, conclusion. It’s absolutely crazy that one person can just decide to star a war that causes so much death, destruction, and pain for so many people. That so many of that person’s citizens just go along with it when they have no desire to be there is fascinating, for lack of a better word. I understand going to war when you’ve been attacked and your family is threatened. But just because the leader of your country tells you to? And that’s been happening throughout history. It’s all so … pointless.

22% of men (incl. Kevin) don't realize that a chimp would fucking wreck them
Absolutely. I’ve taken the balls off many a billy. Also wrestled plenty to the ground when they disagreed. But I’m in a tree shooting at the hog. And I’m running blindly while shooting wildly behind me if there’s a bear

Feels like Japan has 2-3 extra players on the pitch. We’re so slow and predictable it’s amazing they don’t have more steals
