  • Bolsonaro has the Epstein client list.

  • “By the time we get out on the street—we got out on Fifth Avenue—he just turned and started yelling at me and said, ‘Why did you let him do that?’” she recalls.

    What sort of person would allow another person do that to a friend, girlfriend, wife etc?

  • We only need the Epstein Files to "prove" this because we don't believe the victims.

    And that's disgusting right, because a nobody would get fucked for less.

  • All these guys got a pass for quite some time, all because they worked on having an image so pure the public would defend it for them. Trump has entire news stations doing that for him.

    Yes but Trump does not have an image so pure and he has gotten away with it... so far.

  • You're absolutely right, crimes of this scale almost defy comprehension, and trying to weigh them feels both necessary and impossible. It’s horrific to realize this is all happening in real time, in front of us yet, as unthinkable as Gaza is, it’s tragically not isolated. Places like Sudan and Mali etc are also facing famine and conflict, often unfold off the front page. It’s overwhelming, but I believe that bearing witness, and refusing to look away even when our understanding falls short, is still essential.

  • angling for a pardon

    That's all I'm seeing nowadays.

  • It would definitely be up there if the numbers were number of deaths to population ratio.

  • It's like watching someone getting beaten with a baseball bat in public, in full view of everyone .... and everyone gave that someone a spiked baseball bat

    Just made a slight correction there.

  • If no one is in charge then he's in charge.

  • Thanks, very interesting.

  • How much money was offered for the pardon

  • I guess they are riding on the fact there’s famine and the captives are starving as well. Marketing done wrong if you ask me.

  • This conversation has gone sideways really fast. I'm confused.

  • Absolutely, they should call it what it is instead of sugar coating it.

    Thought this might be interesting for some:

    The term dates to 1812, when Massachusetts Gov. Elbridge Gerry signed a bill redrawing state Senate districts to benefit the Democratic-Republican Party. Some thought an oddly shaped district looked like a salamander. A newspaper illustration dubbed it “The Gerry-mander” — a term that later came to describe any district drawn for political advantage.

  • Thank you for all the replies, did not expect to get so many. In conclusion this is what we're going to do, while I also try to reply some of the comments here.

    Have you failed to factor in human fallibility to your cost-benefit analysis for this gym membership?

    We agreed if anyone is going to be late, then they should notify in advance.

    Three times? I'd switch trainers as they're not respecting the time I'm paying them for. Five minutes late, thrice in a row? I wouldn't go back. There's plenty of trainers out there. 5 minutes is about 8% of an hour. If he's just driving in at 5 past, it's gonna be closer to 10 past before he's actually training you. He's not giving you 15% of the hour you have paid for, and if he does it 7 times, he's stolen a whole hour of training from you Go elsewhere. If they don't respect your time and money someone else will. Sounds like my hairstylist. I'm always her first client of the day, and I always end up sitting outside and waiting for her to get there. I get it, going to work sucks. She's good and I like the location, so I don't complain.

    All valid points, but I'm going to give him another shot, just because he's a great kid with a great attitude during sessions. He has a big focus on form which I really appreciate to avoid get injuries.

    Warm up stretches.

    I walk to the gym, its not too far, then walk up 3 floors of car parking to the gym's back entrance (gym is in a mall and the main entrance only opens at 10.30am). Pretty warm by then! I guess that's part of my frustration. Happy to say I went to the gym today and everything was set up and ready to go by the time I arrived.

  • He woke up late, won't happen again etc etc. I've got 4 trainers with the gym because I do 6 days a week but only 1 guy is always late. It's also distracting when we're working out and he runs off to swich machines on in the middle of a rep. They always want me to commit 100+ hours each time I renew and paid upfront, so I guess being punctual is not too much to ask. In a way waking up at 6am everyday prepping for gym requires some discipline, I expect no less from the trainers.

    He'll improve for sure, until the English Premier League starts and Arsenal (his team) plays a late (+7) game on Sunday / Monday morning, then I'll need to have a conversation with the gym manager again.
