I didn't know there were other angles. I didn't even finish watching that video while she cried, though I did rewind it about 6 times trying to make out the shitty quality.

Some women be bitches. I revise my absolutely horseshit guess to 75% intentional, but I still say that in a pack like that shit gets wobbly.

Saw a US track official (black guy - seems relevant) discussing it yesterday and he was excusing it. Then saw one of my fav YouTubers (also a black guy and former runner) discussing it and explaining how it could happen, particularly to an off balance woman. I was slipping down to a 50/50 opinion.

Then I saw this angle and I'm back to it being intentional.

Yeah, I'm 100% open to "it could just happen" but not with these camera angles.

I once ran so hard I blacked out, and face planted onto the track completely asleep.

Weird shit does happen. I am inclined to look for the "weird shit happens" angle.

Though, sometimes, Tonya Harding has someone kneecap Nancy Kerrigan. That happens, too.

Who is that, you ask?

Proof that the world is really, really small, and people on the internet have WAY too much time on their hands.

Also, proof that the appeal of a pretty white woman is unmatched.
The apologies are coming in now.

I saw there was something going on in courts there. If I was the dad, I wouldn't have put much effort into fighting this rumor... :D

Honestly, huge respect for Beyonce as her daughter is not dressed like a stripper or dancing suggestively. Good parenting, which doesn't seem to be common among the ultra rich. (I can only think of her and Catt...)

Anyway, the real discussion is: Is this dancing? I think technically, yes, it is absolutely dancing. However, is she really moving to the beat? No. Just seems like she's ripping through a rehearsed routine.

Yes, Beyonce and I get together weekly to discuss.

I mean, people have always ripped on Beyonce's dancing, so maybe the apple didn't fall far?

Really? I'm not up on my Beyonce lore.

I know Taylor Swift had to train for a long time as her dancing was so bad.

Also, I learned that to prep for the Eras tour, Taylor Swift would get on a treadmill and sing her whole set list. That way, when she was moving around stage, changing clothes, etc. She wouldn't be winded. Respect.

Ok, then what it is? Why did two men clearly try to hide both items?

BC Powder?

Honestly, the "baggie" is pretty clearly just a napkin, or a tissue. I could see someone wanting to hide a used tissue from a photo op.

I purposely grabbed the first response asking Grok, although you still have to click to see Grok's answer. Twitter doesn't let us grab the entire chains we want to show.

He's right and wrong. I say that because of the way he's framing it.

For shorter trips, and strictly speaking about the speeds of automobiles, he's right. Hell, just in my trips to see my daughter at college, it's an hour drive and going 10 over barely knocks off a couple of minutes (if that) per Waze or Google Maps.

For longer trips, more time in saved, obviously, but is it worth it? Depends on the trip. Heading to Mars? I'm guessing the speed of light would get you there a bit faster than 40 MPH... :D

Did you know that going fast is more fun than going slow? I don't see that in his math.

I mean, you're not wrong.

Also, stats suggest slower drivers are the cause of more accidents than fast drivers.

TLDW: If you want to skip the science, the gorilla wins easily. However, the humans could win if they all agreed to bum rush the gorilla, overpower it, and then mountain up on top of it until it dies from heat stroke. Oh, and humans today are massive pussies compared to our ancestors. Yes, even if you work out.

For some reason, Starbucks baristas have been posting about how difficult their jobs are. Some are breaking down, one girl legit said it's the hardest job in the world, and so on.

Watch the video FIRST. Then maybe read the word salad if you believe the crying baristas bullshit or if you just want to be reminded that bad things happen, and that story is fucking terrible.

This is all over X today on multiple accounts.

Long story short:
-Lots of women think the man is acting controlling and is an asshole.
-Lots of men are saying the woman is wrong.

I don't think it's possible to discuss without getting into abortion. What I will say is that whoever keeps telling women that they can get as many abortions as they like without consequences is not providing truthful information.
