From a consumer perspective they are okay and can be helpful.

From a business perspective they use their position to coerce companies into giving them money to expunge both real and perceived mistakes. Which is a very sketchy practice.

The fact that Infantino believes Trump shows yet again just how stupid he (Infantino) is. I never thought FIFA could do worse than Sepp Blatter. Man was I wrong!

To anyone out there’s who isn’t aware, do not take your car to a dealership or auto shop with no idea why the check engine light is on. Instead used a Fixd diagnostic device or something similar to get more details. At least that way you are arming yourself with information and are less likely to be ripped off.

They’d swear it was chocolate and lap it up.

For me? Nothing.

Problem is my kids share my computer, and Linux doesn’t easily support some of the stuff they like playing. And I don’t want to have to spend a bunch of time finagling to get that software running via Wine or whatever.

Cool for the UK. They can focus on other things now.

Yup. Black Sabbath is right again.

Politicians hide themselves away

They only started the war

Why should they go out to fight?

They leave that role to the poor

He’s literally paraphrasing Farquaad at this point.

“Some of you may die, but it’s a sacrifice I’m willing to make!”

Weren’t a bunch of analysis predicting this? The trump administration had apparently requested that Israel strike first to provide a flimsy excuse for firing their own missiles at Iran when the Ayatollah and his gang inevitably retaliates against Israel.

Congrats Cuba on joining the huge and ever-growing list of ‘countries Trump is threatening to invade’. Please have a seat between Canada and (checks notes)… Greenland?!

(The whole Greenland things is still and will forever be so ridiculous that it beggars belief.)

Either way, Dr Beverly Crusher would be aroused.

“Just another black man committing suicide by hanging” -Georgia authorities

Seriously?! SERIOUSLY?!!

What a joke.

Oh no! That means he’s down to only seven/eight other wars he’s resolved, right?

Let’s go through them:

• Albania and Aberbaijan - he meant Armenia and Azerbaijan; and according to their leaders he might have actually played a part in this in spite of his comical geographic gaffs. I’ll give him the benefit of the doubt on this one. ✔️
• Albania and Thighland - he probably meant Cambodia and Thailand, in which case his ceasefire fell through, and the one that actually took wasn’t due to him. ❌
• Democratic Republic of Congo and Rwanda - not resolved despite his claims, fighting still continues. ❌
• Israel and Iran - you can’t call heavily tipping the scales for one side as brokering peace; plus it looks like he’s unilaterally dragging the US into a new conflict with Iran. ❌
• India and Pakistan - India doesn’t acknowledge the US played a significant part in peace talks, so this can’t really be counted. ❌
• Israel and Hamas - this one could only be considered a success if you’re Israel. But even then, it hasn’t done anything to prevent the genocide in Gaza, and now he’s just angling to exploit all that ‘empty’ land for himself and his cronies. ❌
• Ethiopia and Egypt - there’s hasn’t been war here for ages, so it’s a false claim. ❌
• Serbia and Kosovo - relations remain strained, and no peace agreement was signed. ❌

The other kid was really just giving him some valuable life coaching. Though someone who wears Mets spyware and trolls other people for online views is almost certainly untrainable.

I think they still have one member who’s been there from the beginning (Neal Schon). But they are getting really close to meeting OP’s criteria.

I thought 2025 was supposed to be “the moment” for AI PCs. Dell and other manufacturers were sure as hell spamming the shit out of that premise in their incessant online ads. But then it all fell through because of the sagging economy on Main Street, and the fact that many people didn’t like AI being forced down they’re proverbial throats. So yeah, 2026 won’t be any better for this ill-thought out marketing strategy.

Claims against Wesley Dingus came from teen who had been staying at his residence and hid camera in bedroom

That is a very unfortunate last name.

Oh okay. Looks like World Book is still printing encyclopedias though.

Sounds like you’re talking about an old-school encyclopedia book collection. Like Encyclopedia Britannica. They take up a lot of physical space and sing if the information becomes outdated quickly. But they are a great source for history, geography, science, etc. And you might be able to find them second-hand from an online seller for a relatively reasonable price.

Four-year-old Konstantin wanted to be reunited with his favorite stuffed animal, Stitch from the Disney movie “Lilo & Stitch,” which had been confiscated when officers detained them.

Poor kid! They wouldn’t even let him keep his plushie while he was locked in a giving concentration camp! I’m glad he and the rest of his family are heading back to something more like a normal life. Hopefully they can keep it that way and get over this trauma. But sadly, I’m not holding my breath about that.
