I thought first degree was planned out intentional murder? Not even George Floyd’s death got that.

3 DONG HORSE posted:The mall near my house is thriving and I'm happy for it. I never go because I have Amazon Prime but I'm glad. Yeah the local Denver mall is always hopping, but it’s also full of higher-end retail and is situated in an incredibly rich area with a lot more walkable (also stupidly expensive) retail and restaurants. I think the years where a mall could be filled with EB Games, Suncoast, and Claire’s is well behind us.

I went to two area malls for early Christmas shopping. One seemed to be doing really well, and the other had a ton of empty spaces along with the usual JC Penny and Dicks.

I don't think I've been at the mall here in Dubuque since I worked at Sears Portrait Studio for a spell back in college, so almost 20 years ago. All I know about it anymore is that the company that owns the property, Cafaro, is heavily rumored to be a front for money laundering for organized crime.

I've been shopping away from Amazon lately. For example, today if I wanted to buy something via Prime, the delivery date is January 23rd. 11 days. But yeah, go ahead and cut your workforce because Alexa is killing you and all you care about is the bottom line.

Woodfield Mall in Schaumburg, IL has somehow managed to keep chugging along. They've lost some stores, but as far as I know they generally keep filling them with someone else. It was the biggest mall in the US back when it was built, but that's like 50 years ago. I haven't been in it for like 5 years or more though.

As if we didn't have enough motivation with labor issues, last weekend we had TWO (2) Amazon drivers get stuck in our driveway. I am assuming their delivery times are monitored closely enough that they're loath to get out of the car and walk up driveways, and also assuming they aren't spending the money to get decent tires on their vehicles. Also unclear why the first one was there to begin with, because they didn't deliver anything

around here, ted lerner (washington nationals owner) hit the jackpot in the 60's when he decided to build a mall at the intersection of the capital beltway and two major state roads now the area around it is one of the 15 biggest business districts in america, and has the headquarters of such companies as hilton and capital one https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tysons,_Virginia

I went to a very rich middle school for 6th and 7th grade because one of my uncles taught there and spent a ton of unsupervised time at Bellevue Square, the Seatttle area's most boring mall. I was a poorer fat kid and got followed around Ambrocrombe and Fitch by a sales teen when one friend wanted to shop there and that god forsaken perfume/cologne just hung around in a cloud for days. I also spent a buch of time after school at the Tower Records or Barnes and Noble nearby. I bought my first VHS tapes at Tower Records: a bunch of DiC Sailor Moon dub tape and later the first 2 Gundam 0083 tapes because it had a big robots and my grandma was annoyed that I only got girl cartoons my brother wouldn't watch. Good times.

Good times. A lot of time in my high school years was spent at Tower Records. Me and my friends usually had some weekend routines of go hang out at the Baker's Square and get free drinks and pie because the servers liked us, then go to either Tower Records, or the local indie record store. It was either that or play N64 at someone's house. Occasionally we'd actually have a show to go to, so we'd head to the city. Ah the fun times of suburban teenage living. Tower Records was preferred because they had all those listening booths, so you could possibly find some new music. They also sold tickets there, anything run through ticketmaster, which was nearly everything at the time. So it was a convenient place to get tickets if we needed them too.

the EMTs are charged with the maximum charge because 95% of charges get pled down, and so DAs are always gonna over-charge if they possibly can as the opening bid in what is basically a private negotiation over how much punishment a defendant will accept to avoid the risk of maybe much harsher punishment if they insist on a trial because of that factor you can rarely take publicized charges at face value

What happened? All I know about that show is from the ads I see on Adult Swim as I watch my nightly King of the Hill reruns before bed. Looks like an incredibly unfunny show for media-addled nerds.

It's a very funny show that has the worst fans imaginable despite mashing you over the head with the message that acting like you're smarter then everyone else will just leave you self sabotaging and miserable.

I guess you could be forgiven for not remembering the McDonald's Szechuan sauce craze from a few years back, there's been a lot of news to absorb over the last several years. Also my understanding is that it's one of those shows where a distressingly high % of the population identifies with the character who is supposed to be anything but an aspirational example, a la Walter White in Breaking Bad. I tried watching it a few years ago but wasn't feeling anything after the first two episodes

TITTIEKISSER69 posted:The one near me (where my dad worked for several years selling appliances) has been turned into apartments and condos, with most of the first floor becoming a DeVry University, and some indoor parking. Huh, speaking about things I'm somewhat surprised to find are still around. The DeVry that was sort of by me is now a federal FEMA office apparently looking it up. I didn't pay any attention but apparently that's why there's gates to get in and security now that I noticed driving past.

Finally got my actual Official Offer from the feds, just in time as our new AG is a loving lunatic with worse managerial practices than the Sears guy, whose priorities are: make abortion illegal again and make all the employees miserable. Free. free free free. oh man writing that 2 week notice is going to be so gratifying.
