No work tomorrow

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (126793) • United States 22 Feb

I'm not surprised when they are predicting up to 2+ feet of snow. I am surprised that they made the call so early though. They usually like to leave us hanging until late at night or even at 5am in the morning. I already moved...

rsa101 My sister is a nurse in New York. There is no "No Work" for them, and I am aware that they must report for work during these times or whenever they are called upon. I believe they can request a leave of absence if the situation at their workplace is dire and...

Friends Come and Go: Is it a Myth?

Shavkat @Shavkat (141207) • Philippines 22 Feb

Personally, friends can stay and go gradually. I lost so many good friends, and it was not me who had changed. During my younger years, I was always the Mr. Friendship in the crowd. As the years go by, I realized that not all...

rsa101 I suppose this applies to everything. Not everything in life is permanent. Friends, partners, and even children pass through our lives at different times. So, in my opinion, I welcome everyone in life, but I don't cling to them because I know they have...

Jimbo45 @Ineeddentures (25274) 22 Feb

rsa101 I also received one large box from my aunt, who came to visit my country from the United States. We shared half of them with our cousin, and I suppose we just eat it sparingly so we don't eat it all because it's expensive to buy in our area.

what good thing will Trump's 10% global tariff bring to America?

Emmanuel Adelakun @ogbenishyna44 (1337) 22 Feb

Is president Trump trying to protect America goods with his new global 10% tarrif? I doubt it. Americans will surely bear the burden of increased prices that such tarriffs will bring to them. Other countries will surely...

rsa101 Here's my point in this situation. Supporters of Donald Trump argue that higher tariffs can help protect domestic industries, encourage local manufacturing, and reduce reliance on foreign supply chains, particularly in strategic sectors. From that perspective,...

A building made of Legos maybe?

Judy Evans @JudyEv (375996) • Rockingham, Australia 22 Feb

I wrote about Merdeka 118, Kuala Lumpur’s highest building. I was also intrigued by this building in Bangkok. It’s the King Power Mahanakhon, once the tallest skyscraper in the city. It looks like an incomplete skyscraper made...

rsa101 Yeah, I believe this is in Thailand. I saw a YouTube video about this building, and they did an amazing job with the architecture, making it look like a pixelized building. They did this intentionally to draw the attention of anyone passing by, and they were...

On Prince Andrew's arrest

Emmanuel Adelakun @ogbenishyna44 (1337) 22 Feb

Prince Andrew, one of those in line to the succession of the British monarchy has been arrested following his involvement in the Eipstein abnormalities. Should we expect America's FBI and other security agencies to arrest...

rsa101 I believe Prince Andrew is not royalty because he has abdicated his title and wishes to live a normal life as a citizen with his current wife. I believe his involvement in the Epstein case is a distraction to divert attention away from Trump, who has more at...

Olympic village runs out of 10,000 condoms in 3 days

Emmanuel Adelakun @ogbenishyna44 (1337) 22 Feb

The ongoing winter olympics seems to be witnessing some bizzare events following a revelation that more than 10,000 condoms have been used since the games begin and organizers are looking for ways to get more condoms into the...

rsa101 That may appear to be an odd event happening during the Olympics, but I believe the stress of the Olympics creates an opportunity for people to vent their frustrations through another activity. I suppose that is a valid reason for it. They don't want to get...

Something odd about the shooting of a 37-year-old woman by ICE agents in Minneapolis.

The Horse @TheHorse (236106) • Walnut Creek, California 8 Jan

By now you have heard about the shooting of a 37-year-old white American citizen by ICE agents in Minneapolis Minnesota. I have read a few news stories about it, and even watched a couple of videos of the shooting and subsequent...

rsa101 That’s weird but l guess that loud boom is related to your power outage. And whatever that was is worth knowing because that could happen again anytime soon. But good thing is that it was relatively restored immediately.
