Briana Boston didn't threaten anyone.
When my grandmother was sent a death threat through text message, I reported it to the police. The officer told me that "it's not considered a death threat unless the message mentions a weapon and a deadline".
As a result, they didn't do anything. Not even a verbal warning to that person.
Or, there's a double standard when it comes to billionaires and big corporations. Who'd have thought.

when I was 14 I worked in a grocery store and one day I got to bag Stephen King’s groceries and of course, being the little horror fiction nerd I am I was completely starstruck
I think he thought I was gonna ask for an autograph because I was not even lowkey staring I was full on moon-faced and bouncing and he kept looking over at me hesitantly like aw jeez kid fuck off
anyways I finally managed to squeak out that I was a huge fan and asked for advice on writing, “how do I write as well as you do?” in my horrible thick German accent and broken ass English and he gave me the best writing advice I have ever received
“shit kid, stop worrying about how other people do it and just write your story”
14 years later my wife and I nearly hit him with our car because he was jaywalking

little kids are so fucking funny man. had a kid that couldn’t be any older than like 8 or so come up to me today asking where our dinosaur books where, and when i tried to gently redirect them downstairs (where our kids section is) they very matter-of-fairly informed me that they’d already read every book down there and are ready to learn about the “secret, grown-up only dinosaurs” now

Sumerians developed religious theocracy because cows were sacred. Gilgamesh's mother was the lady of the wild cows. Gilgamesh, in differing versions of the story, was called Dumuzid the farmer.
Modern feudal capitalism is somehow unironically Mesopotamia's fault, because the people who came after him just destroyed everything good about socialism and men made it all about their king and his military, even after he lost everything to his own hubris.
In short, they got taken over because the land became unusable for pasturing milkbearing animals from weather issues and aridification of the region, which made shepards leave for better pastures.
Can someone please explain to me what evaporated milk is? Wouldn’t that just be gas by definition? I live in constant fear

Honestly, yeah. When people think of serial killers, they think of someone like Ted Bundy, but Ted Bundy is nothing compared to everyone in these corrupt medical insurance companies that are keeping it corrupt.

“here’s what we know about the uhc shooter”
WRONG! He is a suspect and we should treat him as such. He should be treated as innocent until proven guilty, not guilty until proven innocent. He’s a person of interest not the killer. I don’t care what the media or authorities are saying, he’s a human being who deserves a fair trial and deserves to be treated as innocent until proven otherwise.
