I'm 40 and I don't even use the friend label unless they earned it now.

Facebook really damaged that word for me.

The person going "Ewww this person is toxic" or the other side?

I used to be like that of wanting to mentor too. I wanted to help others get to where I'm at. Apparently a lot of these folks are serious energy vampires and I am always left mentally exhausted.

Kinda need to wake up to their own BS.

Didn't every guy go through a stage where they punched walls? Or did I really struggle with anger issues during high school?

I had lots of these situations on Steam.

I played a game, liked my time with a player, and they'd send me a friend request. But then it was daily messages about what I was doing, when I would play again, and often some sap story about why I'm important to them.

This was a constant thing that kept happening.

A gay guy once told me my glasses were cute.

Im married to a woman. But in that moment, I considered my new life as his man wife.

As a person of color, we do not trust the police.

This is why.

Officers showed up at the home and found a man struggling with a woman over a knife. An officer opened fire and struck the man, killing him at the scene. Only later did they discover the man who was killed lived at the home and was struggling to fend off the woman who had broken into his home.

Police say Brandon Durham, 43, had called 911 and reported multiple people outside his home shooting, then told the 911 operator that someone had entered his home through the front and back doors and he was locking himself in the bathroom.

He also told the 911 operator that he was home with his 15-year-old daughter, according to police. Officers kicked open the door after arriving on scene and hearing someone screaming as well as damage to vehicles parked outside the property, police said.

Hey don't panic.

We don't just know you smoked a bowl. We also know your family, your friends, and your third grade teacher and we've snitched on you.

Wow, history right before our eyes.

Accurate. I found my idea was just recreating reddit mod meetups.

I had a brilliant idea for a app during college. It connected self-identified lonely nerds with other self-identified lonely nerds. Like "Oh you like anime, here is this other guy, and here are five events you can attend together." I was hoping for that Zuckerberg money if this app was a hit.

I ran it through a test trial with a dozen pairings of them in my college campus to see if it had value.

And yeah, a lot of the feedback was that the other person was kind of annoying/intolerable. Which was funny when both of them said that about each other.

The backpedaling of 'It was just a joke!" is strong here,

Two weeks ago, I saw the loner at the table of an event. Went to go talk to them because they were alone for a while.

In less than 10 minutes, they made a offensive joke that would have insulted half the people here, and complained about their living situation unprompted.

MCNAIRY CO., Tenn. (WMC) - A state animal cruelty investigation has resulted in the arrest of a now-former McNairy County Sheriff’s deputy, who is accused of shooting multiple dogs to death while tasked with ensuring the animals were okay.

According to the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation, 24-year-old Connor Brackin is charged with seven counts of aggravated cruelty to animals and eight counts of reckless endangerment.

The animals were reportedly the subjects of an animal welfare concern call made on November 4.

Sgt. Sébastien Plouffe threw part of the 14-year-old motorcycle accident victim's skull into a ravine in 2021 after being chastised by the victim's mother for the way law enforcement handled the scene of the accident.

Plouffe, who lied about his actions on a report, admitted the truth a few days later when the family attempted to retrieve the skull part in order to cremate the victim. He returned to the location of the ravine and attempted to search for the missing piece of bone, but was unsuccessful. A larger search was conducted at the scene with additional officials, and the skull part was eventually located.

The original on Washington Post is paywalled. And my usual solutions of bypassing wasn't working. Sorry for the MSN wrapper.

In Gauley Bridge,” prosecutors told the jury, “Larry Clay was the law.”

C.H. had reported that her stepmother sold her to be raped for $100 when she was 17 years old. The buyer, she told the sheriff’s department, wasn’t just anyone — it was Police Chief Larry Clay. While he was in uniform and on duty. The first time, against his department-issued vehicle. The second, inside a police office.

Clay, 55, and the stepmother, 27, were both charged with sex trafficking of a minor.

When Clay spent his shifts doing nothing but parking his cruiser and waiting for speeding cars, Pack was asked to counsel Clay on taking more initiative. When Clay hastily pulled a gun on a hiking tourist, Pack was told to coach him on being less impulsive.

The family was struggling to keep the electricity and water paid. Then, her stepmother approached her with a way of getting cash, an idea from Clay.

“He brought it up to her that he was sexually interested in me,” C.H. said. “We needed the money for bills.”

C.H. tried to describe it without feeling it. Her head being forced down. Then her body on the hood of the chief’s car. “He was raping me,” C.H. testified. “Did you say anything to him during this?” Herrald asked. “Too scared,” C.H. said, balling her hands in her lap.

She testified that she saw Clay give Naylor-Legg the cash. She would later learn it was $100.
