The teen was seeing King’s court as part of a visit organized by The Greening of Detroit, a nonprofit environmental group. During the visit, King noticed the girl falling asleep, WXYZ reported.

“You fall asleep in my courtroom one more time, I’m gonna put you in back, understood?” the judge said, according to video of his remarks.

King then had the girl change into jail clothes and wear handcuffs.

“It was her whole attitude and her whole disposition that disturbed me,” the judge told WXYZ. “I wanted to get through to her, show how serious this is and how you are to conduct yourself inside of a courtroom.”

In 2014, a then-19-year-old Van de Velde traveled to Britain to meet a 12-year-old girl he’d met on Facebook, fully aware of her age. In 2016, he pleaded guilty to raping the schoolgirl and was sentenced to four years in prison. Van de Velde served 12 months behind bars in Britain before being transferred to the Netherlands where he was released a month later.

Heres my take: Ruby, her dog, was laying down in front of the basement entrance. Amanda, on the phone and not likely paying attention, enters the room from the "north" room we see in the chair photo. She trips on ruby, ruby out of surprise goes running into the chair at the table, knocking it over, her phone goes flying and in an attempt to recover, she puts her hand out to brace against the wall by the basement door. She misses her mark in the midst of her fall, and winds up shifting all her weight meant for the wall, towards the stairs, sending herself careening downwards. Her forehead hits the piggy bank and she falls again. She starts bleeding badly. She struggles to stand after the fall but manages to do it eventually, and stands at the foot of the stairs before succumbing to the blood loss and lying on the ground.

This is the only way I personally think the accident theory could work. She was high and disoriented as it was, you add traumatic blood loss to the mix and you are going to fall over very quick.

I think this is cool but I can't overstate how much I hate Odysee.

Just scroll through a few of the comments on that blog post and you'll see what I mean. There's so much hate throughout the platform to the point where the 5th to top comment is about how COVID is a hoax.

I do not recommend anyone else read through anything on this platform... It's just another example of "free speech" platforms being platforms for hate speech and nothing else.

It's like every other pineapple, but ✨Limited Edition✨ and 2.5 times more expensive.

They've got to be joking.

I always thought music streaming services craft the song radio playlists carefully using algorithms that take song genre, beat and melody patterns, artist relations etc into consideration.

Well color me surpised when I quickly downloaded the song radio playlist of "Tunak Tunak Tun" by Daler Mehndi for a car trip and played it in the car.

The first song was ofc said indie indian pop song. The second one I was like, ok, a little different genre but ok??? (PPAP - Pen Pinapple Apple Pen).

By the third one I was confused. First "take on me" starts, I turn it up because what the heck, doesn't fit the theme at all but good song anyway, and then a twelve-year-old starts ear-raping me about mining minecraft diamonds:

It seems I was the last human to figure out those streaming services base the song radios on what other people group the song into playlists, not any method of paragraph one.

This was confirmed by the rest of the playlist makeup:

(Two other songs by Daler Mehndi)

Tri Ploski

Two songs with pewdipie

Both the russian and soviet national anthems (by the same artist, listed seperately)

7th element (twice, once english, once russian)

Axel F

The Angry Birds theme

Multiple common Youtube soundtracks

Etc, you get the picture.

This is when I understood that most Tidal listeners who have added this song to a playlist, have it in their meme playlist.

Go figure...

I often have to stop mid sentence, tell people I'm already at the end of my paragraph, and have to back up several missed points.

I was reading up on disinvestment on Wikipedia the other day and saw the following passage:

"Some hold that divestment campaigns are based on a fundamental misunderstanding of how stock markets work. John Silber, former president of Boston University, observed that while boycotting a company's products would actually affect their business, "once a stock issue has been made, the corporation doesn't care whether you sell it, burn it, or anything else, because they've already got all the money they're ever going to get from that stock. So they don't care.

Regarding the more specific case of South Africa, John Silber recalled:

"...when the students were protesting the South African situation, I met with them, and they said BU must divest in General Motors and IBM. And I said, "Why should we do that? Is it immoral to own that stock?" Absolutely immoral to own it. And I said, "So then, we're supposed to sell it to somebody? We can't divest unless we sell it to somebody. And if we burn the stock, that just helps General Motors, because it reduces the amount of stock outstanding, so that can't be right. If we sell it to somebody we have just gotten rid of our guilt in order to impose guilt on somebody else.""

However, I recall hearing that some orgs have in fact disinvested from Israel. I presume that these investments are primarily in the form of stocks. How did they actually disinvest?
