The first time I crossed the border into Oregon years ago and started pumping my own gas, the attendant came out shouting "Hey! What are you doing?" As someone that had never heard of this law in either state, I was about as confused as you could possibly be, because this obviously seemed like a trick question.

I pointed it out separately, but this sentence makes it even more clear.

‘Well, let’s step in now and let’s put in place a bill that acts as a deterrent to doing that,” Petroleum Association of Wyoming President Pete Obermueller told WyoFile.

Hey Wyoming congressman/congresswoman, it's your oil and gas friends and we are going to need you to write some legislation for us here... Oh, Congress is out of session? You'll need to go ahead and reconvene then, sorry.

Setting all opinions aside, Hamas is the elected government in Gaza, ofc international aid workers will have to coordinate with them.

around 1,200 of UNRWA’s roughly 12,000 employees in Gaza have links to Hamas or Palestinian Islamic Jihad, and about half have close relatives who belong to the Islamist militant groups

Weasel words in "have links" and "close relatives." Mary Trump for instance recognizes the threat Donald Trump poses and speaks out against him constantly, but you could instead say she's a close relative and imply the opposite. Same with Paul Gosar's family. Would I "have links" to Hamas if I worked at a hospital they ran?

I have come to dislike

I'll tell you what I dislike, this trend in the world where as soon as you "officially" label someone a terrorist, you're allowed to bomb them...and whoever is in the vicinity of the blast simply becomes "collateral damage." It's purely a matter of perspective. When I consider the perspective of Palestinians...what their daily life must be like...having hell rained down from above on a people with no real defenses after their homes have been flattened has to be far more terrifying than feckless rockets, suicide bombers, beheadings...etc. I'm not saying anyone is the good guy or the bad guy here, just that "terrorist" has become shorthand for people that don't have billions of dollars worth of equipment on their side.

I've verified throughout our fox network that there are no foxes in any henhouses at the moment. They've been instructed to take steps to ensure that no foxes end up in any henhouses accidentally going forward and the foxes tell me that they are truly sorry this time. Despite past reassurances of not being evil, they were in fact..evil. We are rolling out an internal audit system with the help of a 3rd party partner who owes us lots of stuff. We plan on letting the advocacy groups check out our henhouses as long as they agree to be bound by an NDA.

I always wondered how bragging about how long you worked was considered by some as a good thing.

Somebody invented "Employee of the Month" and our competitive habits took over.

You're not there to make sure they take it, you're there to document whether or not they took it. That much IS definitely your responsibility, to confirm that they did or did not take their meds. You're not the asshole, you're just looking at it wrong.

Choices you can make before you sell a game called "Sex with Hitler."

Judging by the results, I act more like a robot when I see a captcha.

The fact that they made people transporting minors out of state to get an abortion a crime is probably the most fucking insane part of this whole story.

I've said this before as "being broke is expensive af."

As the article says, it appears to have been a bluff and the west called them on it.
