You won't find the war you want here. I recommend an objective assessment of your life, maybe write it out. Figure out what's bugging you and address it to the best of your ability. Times get tough for everyone. No need to spread the angst when you can cure it. 🙌

Oh! You're being a dick! "Casualties" as in "fatalities" (...which is the primary colloquial framing and an understanding that most would comprehend in context--particularly after reading the video description). Hope you're life improves, buddy!

Do you mean "3 injured"??? Because that's what it says. 😕

"Huntington Beach helicopter crash, 3 injured."

No casualties, so I'll say: ZERO SURVIVAL INSTINCTS (... they're all just standing around and watching, while a JET FUEL BOMB WITH SPINNING BLADES CAREENS TOWARD THEM). 🤦

Wow, this extract from Wolff's book is a shocking insight into Trump's mind:

On his first night in the White House, President Trump complained that the TV in his bedroom was broken, because it didn't have "the gorilla channel.” Trump seemed to be under the
impression that a TV channel existed that screened nothing but
gorilla-based content, 24 hours a day.
To appease Trump, White House staff compiled a number of gorilla documentaries into a makeshift gorilla channel, broadcast into Trump's bedroom from a hastily-constructed transmission tower on the South Lawn. However, Trump was unhappy with the channel they had created, moaning that it was "boring"
because "the gorillas aren't fighting".
Staff edited out all the parts of the documentaries where gorillas weren't hitting each other, and at last the president was satisfied. "On some days he'll watch the gorilla channel for 17 hours straight," an insider told me. "He kneels in front of the TV, with his face about four inches from the screen, and says encouraging things to the gorillas, like 'the way you hit that other gorilla was good'. I think he thinks the gorillas can hear him."

If anyone did, it'd likely be at the cost of their job (and safety). At this point, reality is whatever he's decided it is, and the leeches are gonna leech. I don't look forward to the flood of "WE KNEW HE WAS MENTALLY CHALLENGED!!!" books and docs, courtesy of the current press corps. 😒

Those "you're book smart, not street smart" folks ALWAYS TALKING 💩, until their precious systems fail them. You can (AND SHOULD) be either or both when needed. Ignorance ain't a virtue, arrogance ain't noble, and self-awareness is FREE.🤷‍♂️

I will absolutely never forget my brother saying “you book smart, not street smart” and that I would be in school forever and not make nothing of myself.

Meanwhile I KNOW he gonna call my grandparents for money since active duty military not getting paid.

Oof... Tough break. If only there was some kind of preventative, a MAGICAL liquid that could've addressed this plague. Perhaps a fabric of some kind, placed gently over the nose and mouth. Who among us could've have foreseen this ABSOLUTELY FORESEEABLE OUTCOME ?!?!

Oh, the humanity!

So... "The Fugitive" meets "Minority Report" with a deluge of (overused) dystopian tropes. Meh. A little obvious. Too on the nose. The whole "HERE'S EVERTHING, PROVE YOUR INNOCENCE"-hook kinda ruins it (for me). Just show where you were when the murder happened. 🤷‍♂️

Everything bagel with bacon and cream cheese, or sesame seed bagel with sausage, egg, cheese, ketchup, salt, and pepper. Runner-up, raisin bagel with cream cheese. (Lox and cream cheese is probably the answer, though 😂).
