When asking yourself such questions, ask what law(s) might be broken. There are plenty I'm sure, but your PI should know exactly how to stay out of trouble. Unless when, maybe later, it comes out that he was up to shenanigans...

And no, I'm certain no justification is required to contract a PI. Imagine if there was, no one would do the job.

Toad Suck, Arkansas. Got a cool pic at the lock and dam, missed the park and the town itself.

Transylvania, Louisiana. Got a pic of the bat painted on the water tower, but the general store/Post Office was closed, so no souvenirs.

I was honestly concerned my daughter might be a sociopath. Then I realized she was just 3.

More like, "these are easy jobs for fat stacks". Each is easy to break into, the fat stacks part takes real work.

I'm guessing Norfolk is home base for a boomer or two? Yeah, I'd go for a pair or three thermonuclear bombs ending every fight, every front, overnight. Smash Berlin, Toyko and, just because Russians, Moscow.

You made me remember! Yes, this was on a HUGE TV, probably 70", and that in a time when those were insanely expensive, had never seen one in a home. It was like the house walls in Fahrenheit 451.

"Come look! The White Clown is talking!"

An LSD party back in college taught me a thing I'll never forget. There were 3 TVs in the living room and my best friend and I were tripping balls. He pulls me over to where I can see all 3 screens.

He said, "Notice who the number of people watching is directly proportional to the size of the screen?"

Mind. Blown.

Illegal only as of 2024. But still, it wasn't a widespread thing.

Cats, OTOH.

I would kill or die to see American reporters grow a fucking pair and hammer the questions home like this.

No good in the rain, too hot in the sun.

less time exposed to the elements

That's my take. Convincing my little kids to at least bring a hat when we canoe or hike, like I'm torturing them. Last hike we got rained on, "Why you keep wiping your face like that? OH, bet you wish you had brought your new hat!"

They're cooking in the sun while I dip my hat in the river and slap it on. No problems here!

My wife is far wiser. Despite being a city girl, like, never-been-in-the-woods-before city girl, she learned quick. We easily have 20 hats between us. And spares at camp, in the car, in the truck, everywhere.

Nothing I've read has ever explained Trump's appeal like this article.

Nothing in there makes a cute soundbite. "They're racist!", is far easier than having to digest what the author lays down.

Seriously, read it. It's important.

She had interviewed and met both remotely and in person, this guy was merely an HR drone confirming her documentation. I was a little bent when she told me he had asked her to remove her blur filter "to have a look at her working environment, make sure it's not cluttered" (something along those lines). No one else at this company requested such. Was he way out of line?

I should note, this is my PC in our living room and not where she will be working from. And this guy wants a look around our home?! Told my wife to bring this up once she's settled in, ask HR if this is policy. She started today!

She thinks it's a racism thing. I'm not so sure, but I don't have any other explanation.
