Ross Perot got 18.9% of the popular vote in 1992. While he didn’t get any electoral votes he likely prevented a second HW Bush term.

Just to clarify your second statement, gaslighting is when person A tries to convince person B that person B did not see/hear/experience something that person B did in fact see, hear, or experience.
In OP’s situation, their girlfriend might be gaslighting OP if she texted “I’m getting an Uber home, see you in a bit” and then got mad and insisted she had told OP to meet her at the door.
All that said, I will echo many others in this thread and say that just because it isn’t gaslighting doesn’t mean OP is in a healthy relationship. OP, please insist on relationship counseling at a minimum.
“Costumers” make the costumes. Clearly Mr Mathers was providing craft services for a movie being shot in Detroit.
Dave Chapelle had a whole bit about this before he decided to double (and triple, and quadruple) down on transphobia. He makes the very salient point that these things are delicious.
Melon with something savory is a widely popular choice. See: honeydew with prosciutto/parma ham and cantaloupe/honeydew with tajin (Mexican mix of savory spices.)
Skip the psych exam. Restore the “public servant” aspect.
All assets are sold and the cash is placed in a trust that earns 1% interest. When you leave office you get your money back.
24/7 audio and video coverage of your life as long as you are in office. The toilet is not filmed unless someone goes in with you. Other than that, your life is an open book.
After you leave office, you can teach classes as long as your compensation is no more than the lowest-paid professor at the school that employs you. You can write books. Or you can enjoy your pension. No corporate jobs or partner positions at fancy law firms.
The headline is missing “again.” Chiquita, AKA the United Fruit Company, has been abusing Latin American nations for the entire time it has existed.
If it’s “use my name a likeness, maybe my voice work,” I’m not mad, it’s people paying to do stuff the devs would need to pay someone else to do instead. If it’s “I have some ideas how this story should go” I’d be a bit more concerned.
I’d work on forestation, planting permaculture food forests.
If you’re referring to dollars given/promised to “charity,” a huge amount of that is done in a way that protects assets from taxes but primarily benefits the donor or the donor’s offspring.
Example: Warren Buffet has billions he has pledged to charity. However, when he dies it goes into a private charitable trust that conveniently employs his children and pays them millions a year for “administration” duties. The trust can donate stocks to charities, and there is a tax exemption for the “value” of the donation, reducing the tax burden of the trust further. Billionaire charity in the USA is a nearly-complete fiction which is actually more in line with the behavior discussed in this article.
Very cool that the Minneapolis PD I’d just outsourcing forensics to <checks notes> discount retailer Target?
What’s next, the state of Arkansas outsourcing public education to Walmart?
Even better if you could build your own room in Roblox and arrange furniture until you figured out what pieces you wanted and where to put them.
Or, you know, a school. You know, where there are children? Maybe children who have physical limitations who have been called gimps?
Oh well, who cares about the educational environment and getting kids exposed to FOSS options instead of commercial software?
Oh jeez, next we’re going to hear about how underrated Huey Lewis is.
Just axe murder me and get it over with.
Overall I agree but I’ve been much too close to some people who haven’t bathed in a while and that is an unpleasant smell.
Agree on compost. When they mulch the landscaping around my office, it’s oddly pleasant.
I think the only reason that some people say they like it is because of the association with, you know, a new car.
I 100% agree. I think it’s also good to remember that when people defend the death penalty, they’re thinking about people like this, or John Wayne Gacy, and not the thousands of people who are convicted with way more questionable evidence.
I’m a death penalty opponent but cases like this remind me why a lot of people aren’t.
Buy several really good pizzas and share them around with whoever is hungry.
