Speaking on Fox & Friends, Trump says "someone very close" to the suspect turned him in.

The cops' story about the shooter seems OK, limping/strange gait on snitch's doorbell cameras supposedly because the gun or part of the gun is concealed (presumably in their waistband in some manner).

Stills from the stairwell could be mid-limping gait but they seem to be bending their right leg in one of the photos, which was the leg they were keeping straight in the doorbell cam footage.

Not familiar with the Mauser .30-06 but I've used some bolt actions which had a single hex screw securing the barrel, which then unscrewed from the receiver for easy replacement, and stock folded/removed. If the barrel were concealed/causing the gait, and everything else fit in the backpack then it mostly makes sense. It would probably fit in the backpack but with the barrel protruding if that's how it wound up assembled in the woods, probably wouldn't be visible in the escape footage we have. Maybe disassembly didn't go as planned.

Aw, not bad but it looked like 3D clip art gold potentially

Yeah I think that's correct also

I knew someone who worked for OKCupid pre-acquisition - Match basically took the model that recommended people and made sure it never recommended the most compatible people to each other, and instead prioritized recommending the profiles of users most likely to waste each others' time to one another. The individual in question had met their partner via OKC some years prior to working there, they were disgusted and quit. Since that firm owns Tinder and most of the name brands* I'd expect them to all work about the same in that regard but with tweaks they test on the different user bases which they link across systems (*except Bumble, the re-branded Badoo after having bought that one out, and one or two others that almost nobody uses).

Nothing to add other than grab your old phones and make fake profiles, find your real one and like it! Then ghost those fake profiles. If the "algorithm" thinks you're moderately desired as a guy but already burnt out and will just waste everyone's time, they'll spoonfeed you matches.

Not at home but at school once when I was doing cybercrime, and then years later I had the suburban equivalent descend on me in a parking lot once, I picked up a gun from my friend at work (the place of business actually does gun transfers...) and got a phone call and sat in the parking lot for tops 5 mins. As I'm leaving I hear sirens down the road so I chill and wait for the vehicles to pass before turning out - but surprise muthafucka they were looking for me! One cop was literally aiming out the passenger window and there was like a decent number of businesses in the line of fire. Apparently someone had called the cops and this was the response - in the USA! What the fuck?

They really hate France so much they might make some blunders looking toward the US. I've talked to a lot of residents of West African nations mentioned in that article on omegle-like sites and they really just hate the French so much it's very many an "any other port" mentality at times.

It sucks but unfortunately the average western gay rights NGO in Africa is part of that apparatus. No matter how well-intentioned its founders/staffers are, despite all their hypothetical best intentions, they'll likely be operating entirely atop Western-HQ'd IT systems and their work in the region will functionally serve as a source of blackmail against locals and become in practice a vehicle to create pretexts for ISIS and destabilization that NATO will arm and finance in the area.

I think Illstealya isn't totally a puppet, obviously beholden to the much larger anglo + NATO economies but compared to a South Korea or South Vietnam they've got orders more latitude. Mostly due to intrinsic racism and persistent feelings in the anglosphere.

Those issues are pretty funny though, like even the gay Aussie I knew long enough had a story about fuckin with and subsequently "getting chased by" a "buncha "

Doesn't sound unsalvageable but really consider if it's worth it! I had a partner end things and got the time to do so. They seemingly had another change of heart a little >1 year later and reached out to me, while I was still missing her I also could never trust her or anyone again who leaves instead of working it out and said as such. Time did eventually heal that wound, as much as it sucks right now.
