This is ageist nonsense. One of the last acceptable forms of stereotyping and prejudice.
Data, dude.
Quote11 percent of users older than 65 shared a hoax, while just 3 percent of users 18 to 29 did. Facebook users ages 65 and older shared more than twice as many fake news articles than the next-oldest age group of 45 to 65, and nearly seven times as many fake news articles as the youngest age group (18 to 29).
......
Why do older users share fake news more often? There are two competing theories, for which we still lack good evidence:
The first is that older people, who came to the internet later, lack the digital literacy skills of their younger counterparts. The second is that people experience cognitive decline as they age, making them likelier to fall for hoaxes.
I suspect it's a combo of both. But come on. This is a known thing.
QuoteForget being lonely or too patriotic—the real reason it's so easy to scam old people is that they become more gullible with age.
That's according to researchers at the University of Iowa, who studied a part of our brains that controls belief and doubt called the ventromedial prefrontal cortex (via ScienceDaily).
The softball-sized area sits in our heads above the eyes and deteriorates rapidly with age, making it harder to spot a scam, even it's an obvious one.
The party that is willing to be con artists will own the old people vote.

the Endeavour is housed at the california science center, right next to the rose bowl and USC's campus. there's also a lockheed A-12 on a pylon outside.
Definitely a cool stop -- they have a great Imax deal on the Hubble telescope, too. The science center is definitely worth a stop (but it's not the Rose Bowl there, it's the Coliseum).

I've said it before, but if anyone in your family is AT ALL interested in that sort of thing, the La Brea tar pits is one of the coolest things I've ever seen. I'd been reading about it since I was a little kid, went 5 years ago, and it did not disappoint at all.

What do you mean? The state is keeping it secret because it would make the cop look bad, but they are getting ready to present it in trial to send her away for the rest of her life?
I think that if that's the case, they'll try to bury it.

Is it normal for bombshell evidence like that in such a public case to be kept secret like this?
Does it make the cop look bad? If so, yes.

I thought I could run across the street for a sammich and make it back before it hit.
I was off by about 90 seconds. That was enough to get me thoroughly soaked, even with an umbrella (horizontal rain FTW). Oh well, I keep an extra shirt in the office for a reason.

Was any disciplinary action taken? Does it say so in the article and I’m missing it? All it says was that she was “out of line”. I tend to give cops the benefit of the doubt but this is total bullshit
Yes. She'll be promoted.

Saw the first ones of the year recently.
Yep, kids caught a couple outside last night. With this wet weather, we’re gonna have a jillion, I hope. -
Bishop 2020 if they pull this off
Well, he’s carried the team all game, so...yeah. Time for someone to step up with a shot. -
tatsu-ya ramen is overrated. i mean, i'll go there if someone else chooses it, and it is pretty good, but it does not warrant the hype or the lines at all. michi is superior.

Someone needs to tell Donald Trump.
No, see, MS-13 is killing us all as we speak. You’re just too much of a libtard to acknowledge it. -
America wanted to elect "a businessman" as president.
So....they elected the American businessman who lost more than any other businessman.
The Donald J. Trump secret for how to make a small fortune: start with a large one.
Seems about right for these times.

Also, I love "reluctant Trump supporter" - what a solid-gold turn of phrase. It is quite reminiscent of "I didn't want to hit you honey. I really didn't. I hate that I beat you up so much, you can't even imagine. I wish you didn't provoke me like that, and made me do something I didn't want to do."

A lot of Laura Loomer's angst comes from looking like Lou Ferrigno in too much makeup.
Wait....I mean....is there a RIGHT amount of makeup on Lou Ferrigno?

Was there any math on the test?

Could y'all stop updating this with posts that AREN'T "Lori Loughlin has given up and will get naked for money?" I mean, I'm pretty sure that's what the mob is waiting for.

Today, needing a quick lunch at my desk, I surrendered and procured a Quizno's italian (a tolerable sandwich, but just that -- tolerable). I saw a new menu item -- they have tater tots! So I ordered a side of tater tots. From Quiznos. Which takes a handful of those little disc-shaped tots, tosses them in a plastic bowl, and runs them through their conveyer belt oven to "crisp" them a bit.
Each bite tasted like defeat and failure.
And I ate them all, because I deserved it.

I think it depends on the set of ink blots being used. I've never seen a set that had any boobs in it, it seems I always get the ones that are shaped like bulging dicks or sticks of butter, it seems like they are really into buttery dicks.
