Lady to panhandler in the store parking lot "You might try asking for change somewhere other than the store where you buy lottery scratchers" :) -- nm* - Meg Jun 23, 19:45 3
- Months ago: I motioned for a panhandler to come take some money. I’m shallow and he was super cute. - Qale Jun 23, 20:00 2
  - Hopefully he got that job, at the other store. You should go check -- nm - Flavorize Jun 23, 20:03 1
    - Been in there a few times but no dice. I’d like to think he got on his feet somewhere. -- nm - Qale Jun 23, 20:44

- Damn! Did it start before Votto returned? -- nm - Krusty Jun 23, 20:12 2
  - I think it's more closely tied to Elly. They're 13-2 since he came up. -- nm - Ender Jun 23, 20:24

I picked a bad night to avoid Twitter and the news its seems. Political junkie me is suddenly fascinated by Russia. -- nm - Walt_Disney Jun 23, 19:24 10
- Should we be cheering for Putin or Wagner?....Putin is not great but I get the feeling Wagner is worse. -- nm - Walt_Disney Jun 23, 19:34 7
  - I don't really feel like rooting for anyone here. -- nm* - ty97 Jun 23, 19:40
  - I think I'm hoping for "Putin puts down Wagner and thus can no longer use them in Ukraine and can only use regular army troops". -- nm - Ender Jun 23, 19:37
  - Prigozhin's chances against Putin are roughly equal to the chance of Anna Kendrick asking me out. -- nm - crash davis 😺 Jun 23, 19:37 2
    - If ever, "So you're telling me there's a chance..." is a valid strategy.....*buys a Kendrick'et* -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 23, 19:39
    - That's a good lottery ticket to buy. -- nm - Reagen Jun 23, 19:38

NYC has spent $50k sending migrants to Florida, Texas, other destinations. -- (link) - Ender Jun 23, 19:20 8
- Not at all like what Abbott and Texas are doing. I despise Adams and hope he loses in the next primary but it does seem like he's sending people where - Krusty Jun 23, 19:30
- Did they want to go? Oh wait: - Reagen Jun 23, 19:25 2

    - 👍 -- nm - Pippy 🏳️‍🌈 Jun 23, 19:41
- Wait, Texas sent some and he sent some back? -- nm - Pippy 🏳️‍🌈 Jun 23, 19:24 3
  - Texas sent 79k people. Adams sent 14 back as it seems that's where they wanted to be in the first place. -- nm - Krusty Jun 23, 19:31 2
    - NPR interviewed some social workers, they're trying to unite them with family already here, so I suppose its highly likely they are back in Texas -- nm - zeitgeist Jun 23, 19:35 1

- 🤦🏻‍♂️ Yeah, not practical at all. But how does a handle called Rap Alert not know about Flavor Flav? -- nm - Krusty Jun 23, 19:03 2
  - I suspect they were being sarcastic. In a another tweet they point to the jeweler having said that in an Instagram post or something. -- nm - Ender Jun 23, 19:41 1
    - I think they were careless and just repeated what the jeweler said without thinking or doing any real work. They should delete it and repost it - Krusty Jun 23, 19:46
- Context may help here. -- nm - David Jun 23, 18:58 6

  - hmmm, I'm getting the feeling that those are sold by plaguerized hustlers from china and no striker or guild member gets any of it -- nm - zeitgeist Jun 23, 19:38
Wow, the actress who plays Sugar on The Bear is Chris Elliott's daughter? -- nm - prayformojo 🐵 Jun 23, 18:37 1

I actually find this response by e-femboy Finnster really good when discussing the ‘cis is a slur’ nonsense. -- (link*) - Qale Jun 23, 18:33 [tiktok] 4
- It's rejecting the idea of "difference" as valid. -- nm - Reagen Jun 23, 18:39 3
  - I’m not sure where Finn will finally land on the chart. But that’s what makes it so fun. Also, seeing a lot of people wanting to be called straight… - Qale Jun 23, 18:43 2
    - And straight what? Does that infer anything else is crooked? A question I've never thought of before. -- nm - Meg Jun 23, 19:04 1
