think i speak for a large majority of the other OTers here, but this is a really fricking weird hill to die on, my dude... of all the causes to be so passionate about, you picked one of the dumbest... but congrats on the "success", i guess.... i'm sure you feel great about it and all, but yeah... we all think you are a virtue signaling asshat doing this for your own self-validation, but whatever... life your life, bro

It all kind of depends on the framing I guess?

I’d agree that the literal issue is kind of silly but if extrapolated to broader strokes of government growth and often reaching further than policy actually allows… that’s an important lesson both for son and OMV employees. We just don’t talk about regulating our government in that way much as a society.

mean, a young man with obvious mental issues has taken his own life after being responsible for irrevocable actions of his own to end another's, and this is what you have to say?

---

To his point though- if not a winning player for LSU, I’m not sure we see a lot of “mental health” commentary about the young man that was involved in both a deadly crash recklessly driving and then months later a police chase

It’s textbook behavior that would get skewered here

they chose to leave though, then it was made freely and on their own. This is a standard provision in contract law. I think this is much ado about nothing.

Yea I think you’ll be hard pressed to see the govt concede coercion here

Could be that.

A lot of folks are good with someone owning up with fixing the damage and not pushing to press charges though.

I’d have to guess that’s the end result in a lot of basic vandalism/damage cases.

The classic “I have better things to do than chase this, and am not sure the person deserves state punishment after fixing it (and in this case getting public scorn)”

The same reason the grocery store puts essentials in the furthest corner?

Wanted to like it… through the years it was very uneven ranging from ok to poor to fine enough. Never had a great meal there.

There was at least a stretch where I’d bet good money that they were microwaving leftover meat from past days which is never going to make for good brisket. After a second time of that I learned to stick to a burger or such in the odd instance we would pop in

Would it shock you if she was one of the victims also? I am not saying she is stupid or anything but the girl seemed pretty innocent from the stand point of these money types that would fill her head with all of these ideas to make money on her fame. They tie her to it and put most of the money in their pockets. All the while making her responsible for anything that goes wrong.

Yea, I don’t think anyone believes she was the mastermind of a crypto pump and dump.

I assume she said “could we get rich with one of them crypto coins” knowing it would be sketchy but not knowing her exposure to liability

The issue here is top ten is largely about scarcity- rare body types, or skill sets.

The type of things that don’t commonly hit free agency.

People actually leave shite out for the Amazon driver like they are fricking Santa Claus? The people of this country just get more insane by the day.

Yea, that specific one isn’t my jam to do personally but I see the kindness in someone that wants to leave a couple bottles of water and a few bags of chips out

If it’s not an obligation and just a simple act of kindness, that’s pretty nice. Having nice people in society does help brighten days.

Why is a privately run charity organization receiving tax payer funding? The entire point of a food bank is that people willingly donate food so other people in need can use it. I have volunteered at plenty of food banks and have never in my life heard of one going to govt for extra funds. If you are relying on taxpayer funds to maintain your charity/food bank, then you aren’t a charity. You are a govt program

---

I’m honestly surprised that it’s shocking to see govt supplementing a non profit food bank. Not commenting on this specific story but just that element itself being called out.
