Tonowanda and North Tonowanda are like the even shittier more retarded versions of Buffalo New York so anything’s possible.

> The policy would not allow officers to request sexual gratuities under any circumstance, but in the event that such a non-monetary gratuity is offered, the officer would not be punished for accepting it, so long as the encounter is less than 15 minutes and the officer declines to take his next scheduled 15 minute break.

> “In this political environment, with all the horrible things being said about our police officers in the national media, this policy would be a real morale booster,” says Karen, a Tonawanda resident

> It’s unclear whether the Town of Tonawanda’s Paramedics Unit will be included in a new policy that is being advocated for the police department, in which officers would be allowed to receive ‘physical gratuities’ during one of their two daily 15-minute breaks.

German authorities are investigating the unknown perpetrators on suspicion of negligent manslaughter, the Associated Press, German news outlet NTV, and others reported on Thursday. The event under investigation occurred last Friday when the unidentified woman was turned away from Duesseldorf University Hospital because a ransomware attack hampered its ability to operate normally. The woman was rushed to a hospital about 20 miles away, resulting in about a one-hour delay in treatment. She died.

Yeah that's another one for the "William Gibson Shit Is Real Now" list.

I'm sorry your tailbone is still bothering you... that's been a thing for quite a while now, hasn't it? Maybe I remember wrong.

It's been ~10 years! thanks for asking.

What is the intersection of the dystopia and decrepitude threads? Sitting in a chair all day I guess.

Holy shit Ragman, that was hot now like years ago :fp: :fp: :fp:

You are turning into a boomer in light fucking speed. Are you aware of that? That you are rapidly morphing into an out of touch old boomer, complete with dumb TV news talking point opinions? Your transformation is truly a hair raising spectacle. You somehow manage to combine the worst aspects of being an immature overgrown manchild with a doddering old ninny. Fuck man, you suck really really bad now. I hope you see this as a serious wake up call.

I just liked the look of the flying cat corpse - I admittedly did think about putting it in the ragman thread!

I also searched the board for the unique bit of the URL, because I am a responsible e-citizen

knowing how to use * to make that work probably does pin me as a boomer though

you realize you have the same politics of the most boring and brain dead people in america, right? sure, you’re doing RSI-inducing levels of work with your left hand’s index and pinky fingers in an attempt to make stale ideas seem fresh... but it just gets you to the same place as those countless losers
