    This is the wild shit I'm talking about. It takes effort to fuck up this profoundly
  2. Captainant
    No, I mean this was exactly LIKE the movies which is why I am eager to get more verified reporting on it

    It just doesn't fit at all with my mental model of the SS or trump - a supposedly tactically competent bodyguards failing to protect a famous coward, who stands back up to face an unseen sniper? Wtf is going on?
  4. Captainant
    I'm not sure what to make of the SS allowing trump to stand back up and put his fist up in the air after a botched assassination attempt. Doesn't add up to me, I'm very curious to get more verified reporting in on this whole thing. Wild to be bottle feeding an infant and hear that trump got shot but didn't die.

    Naw I think they'd miss far right

    TIL misstating one number for another, and then admitting you're wrong when it's pointed out and corrected is a disinformation campaign. You constantly accuse me of posting tiktok links and lying about everything while you're backed up and validated by an endless stream of sock accounts. Again, thanks for holding me to a higher standard than the rest of the board. I'll do my best to please your sensibilities and never ever never misstep again. Please forgive my dishonor

    I used their profit figure as the dividend payout, my bad. Sorry I'm not perfect
  8. Captainant
    My bad, they had $6B in profit, and paid $500M(ish) in dividends. You're right, I guess they just didn't have the funds to maintain the infrastructure. That is that point you're trying to make, right? You're defending these leeches?

    Judge clarifies: Yes, Trump was found to have raped E. Jean Carroll

    If you're sitting at home without power, just remember that Centerpoint made $6,000,000,000 in profit last year alone. Thank goodness for our business friendly state! https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deregulation_of_the_Texas_electricity_market#:~:text=The wholesale generation market was,with generators across the state CP also spent more on lobbying last year than they paid in taxes https://www.bizjournals.com/houston/news/2018/10/19/houston-utility-takes-no-2-spot-for-lobbying.html https://www.city-journal.org/article/after-hurricane-beryl-houston-is-sweltering https://www.forbes.com/sites/chrisbarth/2011/12/14/29-companies-that-paid-millions-for-lobbying-and-didnt-pay-taxes/

    We can't let them woke the grid! We let them put renewables on and now it's all gone to shit!! [/oilbaron]

    /r/Houston to the rescue again with a color remap for readability
  14. Captainant
    That's like saying letting mussolini or hitler take power was fine because there was a longer game to resolve the conflict. Sometimes we WANT to avoid the longer game becauses of the costs required to play it.

    I mean, have you seen the evangelical child rape thread in DT? They fuckin LOVE and protect rapists on the reg

    What the fuck am I gonna be able to do about it? Call my fuckin senator or Congressperson? Again? Write them a letter they won't reply to for 8 fucking months? They ain't listening unless you're holding capital and handing some to them. Am I gonna go get a different power company? Can't. What is one mechanism accessible to me to meaningfully hold centerpoint and the state of Texas accountable?

    *Voting for a child rapist

    The night sisters and other force witches have done that before, IIRC. But I can't disagree with your post. The show runners blew a really great opportunity to add a lot of missing depth to the lore. We got a crappy YA novel, not a dark tale of the sith

    Jeep wranglers have a surprisingly strong presence abroad, I feel like

    Rate raises for customers and higher dividends for shareholders, mostly

    Just a few days after a bunch of Texas municipalities are complaining that cryptomining companies are coming in and exploiting their overly permissive regulations to batter them with significant noise and power draw issues. Lots of faces getting eaten by leopards lately. But at least we're the most business friendly state amirite

    It seems like the cop on the scene opened another case file to segment off all of this evidence, and the prosecutor hung their hat on "it doesn't look like anything at all to me" when they had to ascertain if the two were linked. The kicker is gonna be that the armorer has a very viable appeal path now that key evidence in HER trial was intentionally withheld. What a complete clown fiesta

    Gotchoo fam

    The case against Baldwin has been dismissed with prejudice due to the prosecution withholding evidence NYT gift link: ‘Rust’ Case Against Alec Baldwin Is Dismissed Over Withheld Evidence TLDR - the prosecution had exculpatory evidence that was uncovered in court and the judge put the prosecutor on the stand to answer for his fuck up. Like out of a damn movie
