One of the environmental lawyers quoted in a news story says environmental laws are more than 18 years old so he won’t be interested in them

Tyson was no good. They mentioned Canelo Alvarez I think and if Jake Paul is going to fight Alvarez then Alvarez should be a big favorite. He’s a really good boxer who is only a few years older and not that much smaller.

This lady got arrested because her ten year old son walked to the store alone.

At nine I was going miles and miles away from
Home to the mall and various stores.

The cops had five hours to contact the d.a. to see if they would prosecute. You would think they would have done that and d.a. said to arrest her. Pretty absurd.

Cops routinely make arrests they are very certain the DA won’t prosecute. Their union will be like VOTE OUT THE WOKE MIND VIRUS COMMUNIST DA WHO DOESN’T PROSECUTE FOR 1 JOINT while they all are still making as many arrests as they possibly can on that and whatever else doesn’t get prosecuted

apparently this town has only 500 people. i would be shocked if this isn’t the result of some petty grievance someone connected to the police has with her.

Incredible story about a guy who made one bad business decision after the other, but lucked out every time. Like he sends a ship to sell coal to a big coal mining city, and when the ship arrives there’s a strike going on and he can actually sell for a big profit.

Absolutely mental. Ten year olds in Prague take public transport to school by themselves.

EDIT: Actually asked my students. Some started doing so at nine years old.

I walked to school by myself in a suburb of KC as early as kindergarten. My grandpa was supposed to walk me across the busy 2-lane street to meet some other kids to walk with. But grandpa drank, so sometimes I had to get myself across the street. Then sometimes I missed the other kids to walk with.

By 2nd grade I was walking to school full time. Not a big deal.

We were tougher in the 70’s…

Seriously. Me and my best friends used to get into all kinds of shit that is banned now, and those of us that survived turned out fine.

I think it’s more like the nightly news didn’t cover child abduction stories. So you only saw it on your local news if it happened nearby.

Even before the internet, shows like 20/20 started covering the worst of the worst child abductions and freaked everyone out.

Yeah, I think it is a little column A and a little column B. Around the clock news coverage hadn’t started yet so there was only so much you could scare people about in 2 hours a night and child abduction hadn’t hit the top of the list yet, they weren’t even doing pictures on milk carton’s yet were they? Parenting was a lot more relaxed back then for good and bad. Hell, the cops thought our tennis ball cannon made from tin cans and lighter fluid was cool when they came upon us trying to hit a street light with one… And there were a lot less people around just fucking things up.

I used to post ridiculous casting calls on OOT. That casting director no longer works much at all, but this amused me today

Are they doing a kids version of West Side Story like Bugsy?

But a post on X about Joe Biden’s eyebrow-raising decision to permit Ukraine to fire Western-made, long-range missiles at Russia prompted a bold claim from the 70-year-old [RFK Jr]

“The anonymous men in lanyards who are currently running US foreign policy apparently want to start World War III before they leave the White House,” he posted.

Can someone please tell me who that person in the photo is?
