There had been rumors all day that the yearbook photos had been altered, said Riley O’Keefe, a ninth grader at Bartram Trail High School in St. Johns County, Fla.

When she finally got her copy, Ms. O’Keefe, 15, opened the page to her photo and laughed in disbelief.

A black bar had been added to cover more of her chest, she said. Then, Ms. O’Keefe thumbed through the rest of the yearbook. Dozens of other students — all girls — had similar edits, many of them clumsy alterations that covered more of their chests.

I read an article on this that said they allowed pictures of guys in Speedos.  Guess it's just breasticles that are the issue.

^Glad this happened. Seeing an inch of cleavage on a 15 year old girl makes it hard to concentrate on my prayers. Allahu akbar.

Now this is just sad. (I hope it's not real).



What is this saying about corp GM?
That they acknowledge systemic racism is here to stay and are trying to sell more cars to blacks?

Is there any level to which big corp Ford and GM won't scoop to?

I quit alcohol and gained soda, I've gained nothing in this exchange other than an early type 2 diabetes.

I had to quit alcohol because of gout.

Only once in a while did I ever drink a soda, so that's not a problem giving up. Only once in a while did I ever eat red meat, so that's not a problem giving up either.

Haven't had a flare up since I stopped drinking alcohol, so I'm guessing that was the issue.

The ironic thing about this is that most people (cept for the pedos) would not care about her bewbs if they didn't do this.

Now this is just sad. (I hope it's not real).

If this is true then this means they're making cars with bullet proof windows.

I call bullshit. Anyone can have the window down long before the popo gets to the side of their vehicle. On an engineering note, that pointy thing will have cut into the button fairly soon, and where the fuck is the pivot for that lever on the steering wheel, anyway? #itisBS

Theists need a biohazard symbol on their foreheads to indicate the toxic religious waste in their minds.

Scary when you think about it.
How many people has religion enslaved and/or killed to the mind virus called religion (looking at you first Mr Allah) vs Covid-19.
So it may not be such a stupid idea. We need to stigmatize them into oblivion.
In all honesty, the majority are victims here. But we need to do it anyway because they are now damaged goods.

Not talking about the Cafe Christians. Talking about those fukwits who will gladly put Jebus ahead of their own family.

Reading an article about the postal service's plan to retire their current trucks in 2023. I had totally forgotten the old postal jeep.




About the current trucks:

“Much has been said about the new U.S. Postal Service in the last year or so; about how this 200-year-old institution is moving in new directions, using the latest technology to carry out the task of delivering the nation’s mail,” then-Postmaster General Preston R. Tisch said at the 1987 ceremony to take delivery of the first LLVs. “What could be a better symbol of these new directions than these shiny new vans moving us forward toward greater efficiency and economy?”

The agency ordered bidders to submit prototypes specifically designed for mail delivery. That meant right-side drive to allow letter carriers to reach roadside mailboxes out their windows, said Lynn Heidelbaugh, a curator at the Smithsonian National Postal Museum, low steps for entry and egress, and a cargo bay with a low lift gate so carriers could more easily move heavy bails of mail.

The Postal Service road-tested trucks from Grumman (partnering with General Motors), Poveco (Fruehauf & General Automotive Corp.) and American Motors on a 24,000-mile course in Laredo, Tex., in the summer of 1985. Among the challenges, the vehicles had to travel 11,520 miles over a gravel road at 30 to 45 mph, drive 960 miles over cobblestones and another 960 miles over potholes.

Each firm’s engineering team was allowed five “unscheduled maintenance actions” to repair components expected to last the full life of the vehicle. Trucks were eliminated if they experienced the same problem twice. The Grumman prototype was the only vehicle to complete the test. Postal Service officials gushed over its durability.

“The children of the drivers behind me,” Tisch said during the 1987 ceremony, “could one day deliver mail in the year 2011 using the very same vehicle their father or mother is driving today.”

I'm just annoyed that I can't sleep, even with the sleeping meds. One of those nights.
