I'm not making mistakes, I'm leaving something for future generations to improve on.

At a bar and need help? Order an "Angel shot".

-"with lime" means call the police.

- "on the rocks" means you need a taxi called.

- "neat" means you need an escort to your car.

You can also ask for Angela, as in "is Angela working tonight?"

Attached: 1 video i did not know about the hand signal for help me, and my stupid ass thought she was flirting. The Signal for Help (or the Violence at Home Signal for Help) is a single-handed gesture that can be used over a video call or in person by an individual to alert others that they feel threatened and need help.[1] Originally, the signal was created as a tool to combat the rise in domestic violence cases around the world linked to self-isolation measures that were related to the COVID-19 pandemic.[2] The signal is performed by holding one hand up with the thumb tucked into the palm, then folding the four other fingers down, symbolically trapping the thumb by the rest of the fingers.[3] It was designed intentionally as a single continuous hand movement, rather than a sign held in one position, so it could be made easily visible. The Signal for Help was created by the Canadian Women's Foundation and introduced on April 14, 2020.[4] It soon spread via the TikTok social video platform and was adopted by the international Women's Funding Network (WFN). It received widespread praise from Canadian[5] and international[6][7] news organizations for helping provide a modern solution to the issue of a rise in domestic violence cases. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Signal_for_Help

Stages of realizing how good Material Maker has gotten in the last few years https://rodzilla.itch.io/material-maker
hey anyone want a cant of coke?

Three things that happened today:

- Benjamin Netanyahu’s governing coalition has fallen apart, leaving Netanyahu vulnerable to a vote of no confidence.

- Netanyahu’s corruption trial continued, having resumed on Monday after being delayed by a month by the attacks on Iran.

- Israel bombed Damascus, destroying its defense ministry headquarters.

- Oh would you fucking look at that, a fourth thing: Netanyahu’s trial was delayed again!

This absolute piece of shit will wage genocide, risk World War Three, and tear apart every neighboring country for the most venally corrupt reasons.

Washington state Department of LIcensing is sharing drivers' private data with ICE

That's bad!

"KING 5 investigation has uncovered that a state agency, the Department of Licensing (DOL), is providing Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and other Homeland Security departments with access to private driver's license and vehicle information.

State law prohibits local agencies from sharing personal data with the federal government for deportation purposes. Despite past controversies, the KING 5 Investigators have found that DOL quietly reopened accounts with ICE [in 2018], Border Patrol, and other Homeland Security entities — leading to a dramatic surge in data searches since the election of President Donald Trump.

State Senator Rebecca Saldaña, a sponsor of the 2018 "Keep Washington Working Act" which cemented into law that state agencies are not to cooperate with federal programs targeting residents based on immigration or citizenship, says DOL's actions go against the intent of the law. "
