Update: 7:15. They finally called me back three hours later sounding sleepy and unbothered.

Awoken this morning at 4:00am to flooding coming from the vacant apartment above us. You could put your ear up to the door and hear it in the apartment. It’s so bad it’s coming into the living room and bedrooms from the bathroom. Emergency maintenance is an AI powered voicemail that just calls me back and says, “We have received your report of flooding. Please try to contain the flooding with buckets until we arrive.” That was an hour and a half ago.

Called the fire department because the fire alarm is intermittently going off. They determined that there was not a fire and it was not the sprinklers so they turned off the water to the whole building. Maintenance won’t respond to the fire department either.

One of the firefighters said this has happened in three other buildings in our complex. They also said they are aware maintenance here is sketchy.

Trump is hurting everyday Americans--almost every day now. It is unacceptable to damage lives like this; good people don't hurt others (the Good Book is very clear on this point). It's time to honestly face the question, are you voting for people who want you to live longer and healthier?

"A U.S. service member was arrested on suspicion of murder and robbery after a Japanese woman's body was discovered in a hotel in Okinawa, local officials said, describing the alleged killing as a 'heinous' incident that prompted the Japanese government to lodge a protest with the United States.

Shinjiro Koizumi, the Japanese minister of defense, said a U.S. Marine lance corporal was arrested on Sunday after the woman's body was found early on Saturday in Naha, the capital city of the Okinawa prefecture.

NHK, Japan's public broadcaster, identified the suspect as Devin Jacob Ballard, 20, who was stationed at U.S. Marine Corps Air Station Futenma, a base a few miles outside Naha. The broadcaster identified the alleged victim as Yagi Anna, 39, saying she was pronounced dead at the scene after being found at about 4:30 a.m. on Saturday.

Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi said the Okinawa Prefectural Police were investigating the incident as a murder." - ABC7 Los Angeles

As the title says , driving in Midwest on I-55 .. this dude gave me thumb up upon reminding him to close the trunk ..!! I just don’t want to die by car accident ..!!! 🤯

Recently, I gathered the courage to visit my ancestral home in Kashmir. We left this home in Feb 1990 and I was born a month after we left it because we had to run for our life.

We had 19 rooms in this home with around 13 family members and 3 kids. When my family had to run overnight from Kashmir, we left all of us we had, hired a truck, somehow fit us all with a few clothes and left the home. We moved to Jammu from Kashmir which was a 12 hour drive during those days by road. My mother was 8 months pregnant and my aunt had delivered my cousin 2 months back.

There was a list of people created and pasted by the so-called jihadis and terrorists of all prominent kashmiri pandits on the walls in the main market. Unfortunately, my grandfather's and my father's names were there in the list. They could have been killed any moment after the list was released.

When we somehow reached Jammu alive, we did not have a home in jammu. All the family members lived in a single room from more than 10 rooms in the native home. I cannot believe what our families and many other families like ours must have gone through.

People died of intense heat in Jammu as they were not used to such harsh conditions and also from snake bites as most of them didnot get a house to live in so they lived in tents in large grounds.

My recent visit to my house made me realise how hard we worked post the Genocide in 1990 and we have done so well to reach the where we are today. One of the most hardworking communities of all times, "Kashmiri Pandits"

‼️ XRAY ON SECOND SLIDE ‼️
My wife and I live in Montana and have never been east so we finally decided to save up and take a vacation to NYC and got a crazy good deal on a hotel
We haven’t been on vacay in a few years. Two days before we were supposed to leave I got on an electric dirt bike with no helmet (only time I’ve ever not worn a helmet on anything like that in my life)
I crashed and lost consciousness for somewhere between 10-15 minutes. Had a pretty gnarly concussion and am scheduled for surgery on my collarbone in a few days. Trip is cancelled.

(Third repost because I kept accidentally doxing myself 🤦🏻‍♂️)

I have no idea how you fuck up an execution that took you over 30 years to prepare for and what is the point of even trying to revive her in hospital if they're just try and kill her again?. Honestly this cunt has been alive for far too long, as many as anyone on America's absolute clown show of death row.

This makes me sick to my stomach

As an American Democrat who has done and will continue to do everything within reason to oppose Trump and Republicans generally, I am really fucking frustrated (honestly infuriated) with the wave of hatred from non-Americans stoked by Trump's antics, which appears to no longer be restricted to the right wing but is now directed at all Americans.

I vote Democrat in every election, I tend to support more progressive candidates even among that field, and I donate money when I can. Apparently that is no longer enough, and I am literally expected to be flipping over cars in the street and throwing molotov cocktails in open rebellion against the (sadly) democratically-elected government.

To be clear: I hate Trump and his excesses, his overstepping, his poisonous discourse, etc., and I hate Republican policy. However, conditions here are nowhere near meeting the criteria for revolution. I think non-Americans see our loudest and most disturbing headlines and assume those are the norm here. They appear to think that there are abusive, assault-rifle-toting cops and ICE agents on every street corner terrorizing the populace and inflicting tyranny in the name of Trump, and we're all meekly acquiescing and trembling in our homes, afraid to walk the streets.

In reality, nothing even remotely resembling this is the case. Yes, there have been some terrible headlines and some terrible things have happened, but life for the vast, vast majority of Americans is no different than it has ever been. We move about freely and go about our lives with zero limitations. I would further venture to say that most Americans have never even laid eyes on an ICE agent. Consequently, when incredulous non-Americans cry "How are you guys not rioting in the streets yet?!?" it sounds absolutely insane to us. As gross as Trump and his big mouth are, day-to-day life here is no different than it was under Biden or Obama before him. We go to work, we come home, we spend our evenings and weekends doing whatever we want with our friends and families. We will vote Republicans out in the coming mid-terms and in the presidential election in 2 years, and that solution is far more reasonable and practical than open rebellion.

Most of the perspectives being thrown at me from outsiders are completely ignorant and uninformed. Some examples:

1. I have been told by people who have never so much as set foot in the U.S.--without a trace of irony--that I am wrong about all of the above and that Americans are so ignorant that they actually know what is happening here better than I do.
2. I constantly get the Second Amendment thrown in my face. "You've all been jerking off to the Second Amendment for so long, and this is what it's for and you hypocrites/cowards aren't even using it!" Complete failure to understand that the Second Amendment extremists ARE TRUMP'S SUPPORTERS! The rest of us have never said jack shit about the Second Amendment and actually support stricter gun control measures.
3. We're told that we're ostriches with our heads in the sand, too meek and cowardly to protest against circumstances, failing to realize that there have literally been record numbers of protests here against the Trump administration.
4. Anytime any American argues that they really can't afford to go off and die pointlessly in a gunfight with government or protest 24/7 in cities around the country because they need to go to work for money/health benefits for their families, they get dragged for not having universal healthcare and for bothering to try to keep up benefits because the insurance carriers will just deny all their claims. "You should have universal health care, dumbass." Yes, I know we should fucking have universal health care, but I can't make that happen overnight, and while it's true that our health care system sucks, it's completely disingenuous to suggest that the insurance coverage we do have through our jobs doesn't work at all and isn't beneficial to our families and is easily dismissed.

About 65% of Americans support stricter gun control and universal healthcare. Yes, I know it should be much higher, but I am tired of being treated like policies that less than half of us support are some sort of unanimous American scream into the void.

This sort of sentiment has become so pervasive that I think I'm probably going to have to largely step away from most online discussion spaces, other than maybe some relatively benign fan forums that don't get into politics. I think it's really a shame that those of us who have never subscribed to the bullshit in government right now and continue to oppose it in any reasonable way we can have been turned on by our political allies abroad. I have always admired European values, culture and progressivism, but since I appear to be hated by a not-insubstantial segment of their population, I really have no desire to ever visit or engage with them again, and that's really sad and unfortunate.

Response to a Facebook post saying that consent is important and that only a sober and enthusiastic yes means yes, and anything else is a no.

This dude says that drunk consent is AOK and compares it to a DUI.

Wtf. Seriously. He says the post is man hating. Being anti-rape isn’t anti-man!!

Now before we start, I just want to say i am by no means without sin. I have a porn addiction, am into some kinky shit, and even once hyped up making a furry porn comic for a shitposting sub for a month with mod permition and posted it without telling anyone it was going to be piss drinking and scat(dont find it hot, i just thought it would be funny to bait and switch).

I suffer for my lust everyday and have been in nofap for ages, but I refuse to hide my sins like a coward because the internet is my confessional. there is no hiding my actions from God so there is no point hiding it from my fellow man.

This holier than thou asshole posted a rant about me on truechristian after a interaction on another sub talking about how I was a pedo on r / teenagers.

His evidence hinged entirely on seeing rteenagers and rsexoffendersupport(sub to support convicted sex offenders) the "active in" tab on my profile, which shows literally every single sub I have ever done anything in. I have provided exactly what I posted.

Guy, if you are reading this, i forgive you, but do more than bare minimum research before accusing someone of this shit.

Crazy how do these things happen?

Christa pike has become the 2nd inmate in Tennessee this year to receive A BOTCHED LETHAL INJECTION!!

She's now in critical condition no other information is available how horrible
