It’s sexism to want functional human beings making votes on behalf of 10s of millions of people

6 wowsOoohhhh I'm so pissed. Some sneaky ass bitch just stole these $225 Nike sliders from our shop that a local artist hand painted.
The sliders:

But she's so dumb, she bought something with her credit card, so we took the time from the security video to look up the transaction, got her name, found her Facebook page, and as I speak a local police officer is driving over to her house to see if she'll return them or face charges.
If she doesn't return them she's fucked, we have video of her stealing them, her identity, fucking moron.
Oh the office just called, he's headed back to the shop now! I'll update ASAP! -

6 wowsWhat's the worst you've ever fucked up at your job?
According to authorities, a corrections officer went to a cell to find an inmate scheduled for release on Monday. All three inmates in the cell were asleep, and when the officer called the name of the inmate to be released, 26-year-old Brian Roman identified himself, instead. The sheriff’s office says Roman has similar features to the other inmate, and fooled corrections officers into mistaking his identity.
Roman reportedly received the other inmate’s property—clothing, keys, wallet, ID card and debit card—and forged the inmate’s name when signing paperwork.
Some time after Roman was released, the other inmate asked when he was going to be released, and officers realized they had set the wrong person free.

6 wowsUpdate : these people don't mess around
I was in the ER for 24 hours and got an ECG, 2 CT scans, an MRI, 25 vials of blood taken, consults with 3 doctors, and 2 neurologists, prescription for blood thinners and something else (because they want to make sure its not mini strokes), and consults for an optomologist, neurologist, ENT and something else I forgot.
I can't drive anymore and we still don't know what it is, but they definitly took me seriously and everyone was so nice and I'm hopefully on the path to figuring this out...
Thanks everyone for the kind wishes

6 wowsRecording reveals Oklahoma county officials talked about hiring hitmen to kill local reporters
McCurtain County, Oklahoma is in shock this week after a secretly recorded conversation revealed that a local sheriff and a several McCurtain County commissioners discussed hiring hitmen to murder local newspaper reporters.
According to local news station KXII, the recording was obtained by local reporter Bruce Willingham, who deliberately left a recording device running in a place where he believed county commissioners were holding illegal secret meetings to evade public scrutiny.
Upon listening to the recording, however, Willingham quickly realized he'd found more than evidence of just illegal meetings, as he heard McCurtain County Sheriff Kevin Clardy and McCurtain County Commissioners Mark Jennings and Robert Beck, and Alecia Manning discussing the possibility of committing murder.
At one point in the recording, Commissioner Jennings offered that "I’ve known two or three hit men, they're very quiet guys" who would "cut no f*cking mercy" if hired to kill local reporters.
Jennings can also be heard lamenting that it's no longer considered politically correct to lynch Black people in the United States.
"I’m gonna tell you something -- if it was back in the day, when that when Alan Marshton would take a damn Black guy and whoop their ass and throw him in the cell? I’d run for f*cking sheriff," Jennings said.
"Yeah, well, it’s not like that no more," replied Sheriff Clardy.
"I know," complained Jennings. "Take them down to Mud Creek and hang them up with a damn rope. But you can’t do that anymore. They got more rights than we got."

6 wowsSpanish climber emerges after 500 days in cave
Beatriz Flamini, an elite sportswoman and mountaineer, is said by her support team to have broken a world record for the longest time spent in a cave in an experiment closely monitored by scientists seeking to learn more about the capacities of the human mind and circadian rhythms. She was 48 when she went into the cave, and celebrated two birthdays alone underground.
...
She described her experience as "excellent, unbeatable," and said that time had flown by.
"When they came in to get me, I was asleep. I thought something had happened. I said: 'Already? Surely not.' I hadn't finished my book."
Asked if she ever thought about pressing her panic button or leaving the cave, she replied: "Never. In fact I didn't want to come out."
Flamini spent her time underground doing exercises, painting and drawing, and knitting woolly hats. She took two GoPro cameras to document her time, and got through 60 books and 1,000 litres of water, according to her support team.
