I read earlier that there are more than 200 detectives working on this.

Whether one sympathizes with this particular crime aside, that is insane. They are openly showing the population that they give hundreds of times the resources to crimes against the wealthy than they do to those against your average everyday individual. And somehow nobody's focusing on that. How is it okay that you get more than 200 detectives looking for the murderer of some random CEO, while the murder of some random retail worker or office worker would get maybe two detectives with a full case load?

They're not even pretending to not be corrupt.

He was saying 25% for Canada and Mexico and an extra 10% for China. Which means 35% for China.

I suspect you are looking at this from the wrong direction. But we'll see.

I can see how this would be fun for the writers, but it's not really terribly interesting content as a reader. But whatever--they release a comic every day. They don't all have to be amazing.

Suddenly, I am so old. I remember being a fan of Jhonen Vasquez's comics and then a few years later he got a TV show, and I was so happy for him. Not to say that I didn't enjoy Invader Zim, but I was definitely not in middle school.

And yet, despite being the ones with the power (compared to the rest of us), they still lick the boot.

I think that is or is soon going to be a lot of us. Especially as end of life care leads to people selling their real estate rather than giving it to their children.

I, also an American, paused at what was meant by "UP"...until I got to how horrific the rape was. It's always Uttar Pradesh.

Weirdly, there are MAGAts in Canada.

But not the president.

About 4 years ago, I watched a movie which I enjoyed but can't for the life of me find. It involved a white couple getting lost in deep rural Appalachia and getting taken in by a cult-like small family in the middle of nowhere.

I don't remember the details very well since it was a few years ago and I watched it pretty late at night. I think it involved the woman being drawn in while the man wasn't, and there being murder (in a shed?), but that could be me mixing different movies up.

Does anyone know what it might have been?
