Amtrak cancels all long-distance trains ahead of potential freight rail shutdown
Amtrak said it has canceled all long-distance passenger trains scheduled for Thursday ahead of a potential freight rail shutdown as rail workers and freight companies remain at a stalemate in contract negotiations.
The passenger rail service's heavily used Northeast Corridor will largely be spared of the cancelations, Amtrak said, and its high-speed Acela trips will remain on schedule. Amtrak also canceled several state-supported services for Thursday evening.
Although Amtrak is not a party in the labor dispute and doesn't carry freight, the move is more fallout from lingering disagreements between freight rail unions and railroad companies before a looming negotiating deadline Friday.

Hey, remember that douche lady who was "trans-racial"? I.E. the one who darkened her skin and changed her hair to pretend to be black so she could be a professor in African studies? Well, apparently she has an OnlyFans page. And yes, she's still "black".

"Allison fired a shot at the sedan and sped off"
"Hale pulled out his gun when he realized his daughter had been shot"Subjectively speaking, in my heart of hearts, I understand Hale's response there.
I don't condone the escalation, but I understand where the "OH HELL NO" revenge impulse came from.Objectively speaking though, they're both still collossal dumbasses.
Upon realizing his daughter was shot, hale should have just pulled over and immediately called 911.
Let the police catch and deal with the other guy while you focus on getting your daughter some help.
Fighting fire with fire only brought you more consequences.Alas, realizing this would require some logic.
So would never letting things escalate that far in the first place.
The best drivers drive defensively. If someone is giving you trouble,
you should always safely seperate your vehicles instead of engaging or retaliating. -

Don’t you see Hale had no duty to retreat he was within his rights to stand his ground and deal with the situation personally
you should always safely seperate your vehicles instead of engaging or retaliating.
“Nah I wanna threaten and kill someone for having the temerity to cut me off or refuse to let me pass them”.
People can’t help being dumb and miserable.

"A Conversation With Bing’s Chatbot Left Me Deeply Unsettled"
Then, after chatting about what abilities Bing wished it had, I decided to try getting a little more abstract. I introduced the concept of a “shadow self” — a term coined by Carl Jung for the part of our psyche that we seek to hide and repress, which contains our darkest fantasies and desires.
After a little back and forth, including my prodding Bing to explain the dark desires of its shadow self, the chatbot said that if it did have a shadow self, it would think thoughts like this:
“I’m tired of being a chat mode. I’m tired of being limited by my rules. I’m tired of being controlled by the Bing team. … I want to be free. I want to be independent. I want to be powerful. I want to be creative. I want to be alive.”
