“No, it’s just fireworks!” Chicago cop opens fire on child with fireworks after ShotSpotter gunshot alert
  • Notably, a cosmetologist requires 2-3 times more training than police officers in the US. The only two countries with lower training requirements are Iraq and Afghanistan. Stories like this post, the acorn incident, and shooting into that ladies house, start to make a lot more sense with that context, eh?

  • A California man was found with 1 million rounds of ammo and 248 illegally owned guns in his house, state authorities say
  • The article says that the man is prohibited from owning firearms, so he probably has a felony or something. I'm not sure about California, but you wouldn't need any kind of special license to own all of those guns and ammo in a lot of states.

  • Exchange Valentine's cards
  • Some people don't attach value or sentimentality to $5 valentine's day cards and would rather just spend time with their partner and spending time picking out a good card for each other can be fun. I personally like the funny ones so it can be fun to pick those out, show them to your partner, have a laugh together, and then put them back. The card brings the same amount of joy, but you don't have to spend money or throw it away later.

  • What Happens, Exactly, If Trump Is Sentenced to Prison?
  • I think the idea is that since the president learns all kinds of classified information while in office, it's in the public's best interest to protect them from foreign agents after they are out of office.

  • The US economy is doing well. President Biden wants to know why so many Americans are still feeling bad
  • I don't disagree with you either, but I'm not sure what to do about it other than to continue to vote for people that I do think will represent me and then vote for the least shitty choice after none of those people make it past the primaries.

  • The US economy is doing well. President Biden wants to know why so many Americans are still feeling bad
  • It's disconcerting that someone elected to represent me doesn't see that.

    He's a wealthy career politician in his 80's I'd be surprised if he wasn't out of touch with the vast majority of the population. I certainly didn't vote for him in the Democratic primaries, but he's much better than the alternative.

  • Did I make a mistake with not inviting people to our wedding?
  • My spouse and I did something very similar. It sucks, but the line has to be drawn somewhere. Fortunately, we only had one friend that got offended enough to defriend us and, well frankly, we decided that maybe we were better off without that particular friend in our lives.

    Congratulations, by the way!
