He learned what he was good at… And what he enjoyed.
Kevin is a shop lifter after he panics with the tooth brush. Since he learned never to trust cops, he assumes he’d get thrown in jail like the hardened criminal he is… And then there’s the cop who’s trying to break into his house. Yeah, can’t blame him for not making that call.

World News@lemmy.world•Hundreds of students line up as murdered cheerleader becomes organ donorEnglish
10·2 months agoMy understanding is that the most basic of funerals and associated trappings is in excess of $10k (and that was prior to the current inflationary economic situation). Final healthcare expenses are likely also a few thousand dollars - and yes, the family likely has to pay it. So the amount of unexpected expenses is probably $25k to begin with… It starts seeming less excessive, to me at least.

politics @lemmy.world•Trump fuels crazy D.C. plane crash theories with insult to Army pilots
9·1 year agoI thankfully walked out of the room, but overheard part of a press conference where Trump was ladeling the blame on the FAA’s DEI policies; how the FAA was hiring disabled people and that lead to this crash.
I need to find an alternate radio station for my dog to listen to. No one should have to hear that bullshit.

News@lemmy.world•Trump seeks to block 'imminent' release of special counsel Jack Smith's report
5·1 year agoCannon can because there are two non-dismissed cases that are referenced in the report.
The federal government is still pursuing those cases… Which is interesting, because if Trump did nothing wrong, there’s no case to pursue.
So, of course Cannon has blocked the release. At this point, Republicans win if they stall enough.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What was cancelled or discontinued that you wish wasn't or that they brought it back?
7·1 year agoI still think about the episode where John walked into his stock trader and randomly bought rights to some kind of seafood (shrimp, I think), explains why, then sells it – at a huge profit. It was this little moment that explained why John could just “do stuff” and didn’t need a job.
Also, it made my hate working forever, but I don’t know enough to not have to. Yet.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What realistic tech do you think we'll have 10 years from now in 2034?
1·1 year agoHate the idea of the former in a private setting, would like in a business setting. Absolutely adore the idea of directions (drove a car with a “heads up” display but it only integrated with the dreadful in-car navigation system and yet it was still awesome)… But player stats dangling over people’s heads? That maybe my kid without AR glasses wouldn’t be able to see and I could be the cool parent again? Awesome.

Nepotism. There’s some story I heard about how he coach surfed in California until he got a contract, and I figured he must have SOME talent, then found out he was staying on Jamie Foxx’s couch, so clearly some he knew someone…
Except unfortunately my 30 second Wikipedia fact check shows he didn’t. He met Foxx because he was invited to be a guess on Foxx’s show and must have made a good impression. He did make seemingly the hardway; he started out as a working musician working with other musicians and worked his way up. Didn’t hurt that he got a positive review from Elton John early on, but the guy apparently has something.
Damn. I thought I figured it out…
