Actually, he was born in Iran. He’s been trying similar stunts on both coasts.
Business owner uses a drone to drop dye packs into nearby swimming pools for no apparent reason. (No, he’s not a pool cleaner.)
I’m surprised that he didn’t try to explain to the Coast Guard that he wasn’t boating, but traveling, and they had no right to stop him. On the other hand, he certainly couldn’t complain about an Admiralty court having jurisdiction.
Well played.
My father loved that song. He took a picture of my mother standing beside the sign mentioned in the song, and they did go over the road.
Actually, I believe it was here (view in satellite mode), the tiny road that looks like a wagon trail:
The terrain looks different from the satellite, and also 30 years later, but we were told to “keep left” at Taylor Pass, and we kept really left, rather than take 15C into Aspen. It probably was only a mile before it got really hairy and we turned back.
Of corrective phrenology?
Russian soldiers accidentally revealed their positions after they tried to shoot down a Ukrainian flag suspended from balloons flying over occupied territory, a Ukrainian official said…
I hope to see this episode soon in our Zelenskyy’s Zeroes sitcom thread. I bet Russia won’t fall for this a second time. lol, just kidding, of course they will.
TILA Time Blindness Girl, who thinks schools and businesses should have special accommodations for people who can’t figure out how to arrive on time.
Ms. Trefren hit back at claims that she was “selfish” and “think that everyone must bend their time to me because I don’t respect anyone’s time”.
“I just think that schools and businesses have a higher obligation to God and I think that their first responsibility needs to be to care for other people,” she said.
“I just think other people’s struggles and getting them help needs to come before profit.”
Later she revealed that “the person she was with” that “yelled at her” about the question was her mother.
I dunno. Severe ADHD does often come with time blindness, and ADHD is a protected disability. Can’t really disclose that during a job interview, though.
A really recurrent experience of people with ADHD is just being told their entire lives “You’re not trying hard enough.” But people really are trying very hard in many cases. Their neurology is constantly working against them.
I have moderate ADHD and due to time blindness I’m not often late, but I’m frequently just barely on time when I intended to leave earlier. I can also lose an entire hour in what feels like a minute. I’ve lost most of my day today, in fact. However I’ve never been late for a job interview. Things I’m anxious about making on time usually have me arriving early.
Being nearsighted is a real physical thing. A person who can’t see without glasses still needs to put them on before driving instead of careening into other cars on the highway and announcing it’s OK because they have a disability. Announcing that you have “time blindness” therefore it’s everyone else’s problem that you can’t keep a schedule is still being a narcissistic asshole, just like a person who needs glasses getting behind the wheel without them is.
Some people need to work harder than other people to do certain non-negotiable things that they are not ABLE to do as easily. That’s why we call it a disability. Welcome to life.
Precisely. While it is a real thing, we have tools to help with it.
I mean, I lose track of time all the time. Everyone does. A medical condition might mean you struggle with it more than the average person, but since it’s a condition that everyone experiences now and then and for centuries we’ve had tools that help, it does absolutely come across as an excuse if a person is chronically late.
I mean, I have complete time blindness when I’m asleep, and if I didn’t set an alarm I would probably be late for work every day of my life.
We live in an era where almost everyone has a smart phone with them 24 hours a day. You have less of an excuse than ever. If you know you have problems and aren’t setting alarms, it’s not the condition that’s to blame.
I’ve always been told that a disability is an explanation, not an excuse. Does that sound accurate/reasonable?
And any dirt cheap Android device gives you an insane number of alarm and timer options. It isn’t like an old clock radio with one alarm setting at a time.
To be fair, clock radios now have two alarms. 
Lord, I don’t even hear alarms half the time, and I have turned them off without even processing that they went off. People fundamentally do not understand how ADHD works, or they think just because they have ADHD and they don’t struggle with X means nobody should ever struggle with X. I have personal trauma on this subject wrt my mother which was just dredged up earlier today, so I am going to drop the conversation now.
WTF is this woman doing with her mother on the phone during an interview?
I dismissed anything she had to say after reading "I just think that schools and businesses have a higher obligation to God and I think that their first responsibility needs to be to care for other people,”
She can fuck right off with that bullshit. She’s invoking god in an attempt to guilt other people into catering to her needs.
