“Ain’t nobody got time for that,” said one 911 operator before hanging up the phone. And she didn't just do it once. Crenshanda Williams cut short thousands of emergency calls because she didn’t feel like talking. She ended up being sentenced to prison in 2018, where she wouldn't have to deal with people bothering her via phone calls. Yes, really. You can’t make this sh*t up…

Here's the full story (thankfully mentioned on the reddit post so I don't have to repeat it myself from scratch again) Scarlett had been severely burned in the process of pulling her kittens from the fire. Her eyes were blistered shut, her ears and paws burned, and her coat highly singed. The majority of her facial hair had been burnt away. After saving the kittens she was seen to touch each of her kittens with her nose to ensure they were all there, as the blisters on her eyes kept her from being able to see them, and then she collapsed unconscious. Scarlett and her kittens were then taken to a vet and were treated for injuries. The weakest of the kittens, a white-coated, died of a virus a month after the fire. However, after three months of treatment and recovery, Scarlett and her surviving kittens were well enough to be adopted. Scarlett died on October 11, 2008, while with her adoptive family in Brooklyn.

What an amazing, heroic creature. The North Shore Animal League that rescued Scarlett and her family, insisted that the kittens go in pairs so that they would suffer as little trauma as possible. Scarlett also has a heroism award named after her by the NSAL.

    It was a local bookstore that had been in the area since 1997. When they planned the move, the owner put this out there since she assumed it would be quicker than hiring a truck and having movers pack and unload the 9,100 books. She also thought it would be a nice community building event, and she was right. It took the volunteers less than 2 hours and they all enjoyed looking at the books and noting ones they'd read or not and discussing them with each other. Nothing noted about giving away a book to each person, sounds like it was just kind locals helping out a beloved local bookshop. And since nobody else was apparently able to do a quick search, here's a link to a news story about it: https://apnews.com/article/bookstore-book-brigade-chelsea-michigan-03c553623c91c16a272b8a8149e4c298

    This wrongful arrest led to his conviction and imprisonment, a harrowing experience that kept him behind bars for 37 years.

    The problem with the system, certainly in the UK, is that you're not eligible for parole until you take ownership of your crime. If you're innocent, you can't do that, and so you cannot get early release.

I will never understand how they think giving money to those they've wrongfully imprisoned is enough. They stole time from him: experiences, people, relationships, milestones, LIFE that no amount of money can ever come close to replacing.

    Also, the reason his character's office is in the annex is because, as a writer and producer, he couldn't be in the background all the time with the rest of the main cast, because he had to....write and produce. It was the same for BJ Novak and Mindy Kaling.

    I would so contest this. That mosquito could have bitten me anywhere and then flew into the car. My blood in a random mosquito in a random car does not mean I stole that car. Unless they had fingerprints or something else to back up the DNA this is bogus.

    He also helped Leo DiCaprio while filming. Leo just could not use the N-word. He literally refused to say it. (That in itself is aplaudable.) Foxx (and also Samuel L. Jackson) told DiCaprio that he wouldn't be able to effectively portray the character (a notoriously brutal slave owner) unless he truly grasped the realities of slavery.

    "There are not many facts that have been proven about Demara, in spite of the articles, book, and big screen movie made about him during his lifetime. He was said to possess a true photographic memory and was widely reputed to have an extraordinary IQ. He was apparently able to memorize necessary techniques from textbooks and worked on two cardinal rules: "the burden of proof is on the accuser" and "when in danger, attack." He described his own motivation as "Rascality, pure rascality"" Wikipedia except for the memory and IQ part, this guy sounds like he could have become president one day.

They may not be the *best* pizza, but they do stuff like this, and when other companies have to admit in court that their 'better ingredients' advertising is just lying advertising fluffery, Domino's actually did put effort into improving quality. Like I said, they're not the best, but if you make careful decisions when ordering, you can get a decent pie from them. (Wish they'd bring back their Marinara sauce as an option - that was much better than their usual sauce. Guess it just wasn't selling...)

    Part of the issue not mentioned here, is the "heat island" effect. To simplify, asphalt, and concrete hold in heat longer than grass will. Meaning the radiant heat effect coming off such surfaces will raise the ambient temperatures considerably. Ironically, the fad of having "natural" rock yards, or even 'native plant' yards plays into this effect, as in desert climates like Arizona is known for, these type of yards lack extensive grass and soil, which actually works to lower ambient temperatures.

    In 1965, Angus Barbieri, Described As A "Grossly Obese" Man, Survived Without Eating For 1 Year And 17 Days

    Before and after images of a man showing an impressive weight loss transformation, illustrating fascinating facts.

    He lived entirely off his excess body fat and vitamins, ultimately losing 125 kg (276 lbs) with no adverse effects. He only pooped every 40 - 50 days.
    His decision to undertake this challenge stemmed from his weight, which exceeded 450 pounds. At the age of 27, he aspired to achieve fitness and good health.
    In a little over a year, he shed 276 pounds and established a record for the longest duration of a fast.

    According to Wikipedia: he consumed only vitamins, electrolytes, an unspecified amount of yeast (a source of all essential amino acids) and zero-calorie beverages such as tea, coffee, and sparkling water, although he occasionally added milk and/or sugar to the beverages, especially during the final weeks of the fast.

    I *swear*, humans need a switch somewhere to let us switch to 'internal batteries' instead of 'external power' for nourishment. I heard somewhere that when you gain fat, your fat cells multiply so you have more of them. BUT - when you *lose* weight, you don't lose fat cells - the individual cells just get smaller! WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS CRUEL TRAVESTY??!?

    5 months ago Created by potrace 1.15, written by Peter Selinger 2001-2017

    Do not fear because all that is not true for you feĺlow grown-up. Your fatcells are the same amount and expand when you gain weight and then goes back to normal/smaller when you loose weight. BUT the correct part --- A child still growing will also grow more fatcells to "fill in the gaps". So a grown-up that was obese as a child have MORE fatcells then a grown-up with a normal weight as a child. Then think of normal weight as balls filling a jar. If you have a higher amount of fatcells/balls then you have to shrink all of them to fit in the jar. Shrinking fatcells send out "distress messages that they are starving" and that you need to eat. Not listening to basic instincts are hard, so also hard to keep a low weight. (Note: english is my second language and are very different from mine. Those differences in wording can make my english sound rude or unsensitive. So sorry if that happened here when it's a delicate subject)

She should have received a much longer sentence, I would think several years, especially if people died. I also think that her supervisor should have picked up on it, and also been punished. Good heavens.

    According to google it's a good way to treat hypertrichosis but it's not a "cure" for it. It helps thin the hair and make the regrowth less dense though. But you'd still have to have access to that kind of doctor as well as the funds for it. Can't imagine that would be cheap.

    Poor prison food has been known to provoke rioting, so this wasn't so much overfeeding them as just making sure they had enough decent food to eat. I witnessed one such in the UK (around 1993) when Sunday tea, which was corned beef and boiled potatoes, cut the amount from two thin slices to just one. Other factors were involved, but that was the trigger point.

    Closed in 1963 because it was far too expensive to keep running - I mean, it would be, what with all supplies having to be shipped in over the water. Only a complete moron would consider re-establishing a prison on Alcatraz island, since the current buildings would have to be demolished and replaced - a job which, thankfully, couldn't be completed before President Trump the Rapist has left office.

    According to: https://www.aol.com/paul-newman-stormy-daniels-among-123140504.html - Newman got arrested for a fight in college after locals were mad the college football players were dancing with their dates at a bar. He ended up on probation and kicked off the football team. From his memoir - "With all this extra time suddenly on my hands, I went down to the speech department and read for a play. I was going to try out for the theater." --- And that's how being arrested led to his acting career.

    Not a psychopath. He knows what he's doing - and, given his environment, upbringing and so on, he's behaving perfectly sensibly. I mean, if you're the son of an absolute dictator belonging to an hereditary absolute dictatorship, you're not likely to grow up to be like Francis of Assisi. 🤷 Brutal oppression of the population is just how it goes in his family. 😬

    G A, if she had smacked his head into the desk a few dozen times, she'd probably have been executed and he'd've only turned out worse. Child abuse is always wrong and always harms children.
