I've been volunteering over at a local pediatric psych ward for some time. One of the kids think restraining stuffed animals is funny as part of play. The reality is that we hate doing restraints and have been hurt doing them. I've been in over a hundred restraints throughout my life, kids to adults and hate ever being a part of it. This kid just throws around human shaped stuffed animals and 'restrains' them thinking it's a fricking joke.

Where I volunteer, I'm limited to CPI restraints but the actual staff gets to do chemical restraints. Restraints of any form is not funny. Chemical, you end up tied down to a bed. Physical,, you will probably have a dislocated shoulder or an arm that hurts.

A kid thinking that that is funny is disgusting behavior and shouldn't be allowed.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump said Tuesday he isn't ruling out deploying U.S. troops to support reconstruction of Gaza and he envisions "long-term" U.S. ownership of a redevelopment of the territory.

"We'll do what is necessary," Trump said about the possibility of deploying troops to fill any security vacuum. "If it's necessary, we'll do that."

The comments came after Trump said he wants the U.S. to take ownership of the Gaza Strip and redevelop it after Palestinians are resettled elsewhere.

"We will own it and be responsible for dismantling all of the dangerous unexploded bombs and other weapons on the site," Trump said a start of a joint news conference with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Trump added the U.S. would level destroyed buildings and "create an economic development that will supply unlimited numbers of jobs and housing for the people of the area."

The comments came after Trump earlier suggested that displaced Palestinians in Gaza be "permanently" resettled outside the war-torn territory.

THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. AP's earlier story follows below.

would you do it? the text chat was amazing but she looks identical. even my brother said it was too close. we were married a loooong time.

been on three dates with this other lady and she's hot but a little awkward there has been nothing physical at all yet so i'm thinking about cutting it off to talk to the ex wife lady. the awkward lady doesnt have kids so that's convenient.

switched to tinder yesterday and i'm blowing up so will see where so if those go but darn… kinda just want to go for the ex wife lady. but if it were to get serious she would find out about her resemblance to my ex wife pretty quickly. i would probably have to bring it up before she found out. conflicted.

Deferred Account Deletion to rDrama Users

February 3, 2025

During the first week of his administration, Pharaoh Aevann issued a number of directives concerning the rDrama users. Among those directives, the Pharaoh required that users return to reporting drama from across the entire internet, restored accountability for users to create drama where none was present, restored accountability for brigading in bad faith, and reformed the policy to lower the standards of conduct. As a result of the above orders, the reform of the userbase will be significant.

The reformed userbase will be built around four pillars:

1. Report Drama: The substantial majority of users who have been lurking remotely will be required to register accounts. Going forward, we also expect our site to undergo meaningful consolidation and divestitures, potentially resulting in increased activity.

2. Create Drama: The userbase should be comprised of the worst the internet has to offer. We will insist on expertise at every level — our performance standards will be updated to award and pin those that exceed expectations and punish in a public and humiliating way those who do not meet the high standards which the paypigs of this site have a right to demand.

3. Brigade in Bad Faith: While a few sites and subreddits are merely observed and laughed at by the userbase, the majority of them are likely to be brigaded through trolling, whataboutism, and sockpuppetry. These actions are likely to include the use of ad hominem attacks and just asking questions.

4. Lowered standards of conduct: The userbase should be comprised of employees who are unreliable, self-serving, duplicitous, and who strive for effortmaxxing in their daily work. Users will be subject to lowered standards of suitability and conduct as we move forward. Users who engage in fedposting or other shenanigans will be pinned.

Each of the pillars outlined above will be pursued in accordance with applicable site rules, consistent with your hole's policies, and to the extent permitted under relevant ping spamming.

If you choose to remain in your current account, we thank you for your renewed focus on bothering people to the best of your abilities and look forward to working together as part of an improved userbase. At this time, we cannot give you full assurance regarding the certainty of your hats or badges but should your account be eliminated you will be treated with ridicule and will not be afforded the protections in place because there aren't any.

If you choose not to continue with your account on this site, you are a big fat kitty and should keep yourself safe and you will talk shit about you for years to come. This program begins effective February 3 and is available to all users until February 28. If you delete your account under this program, you will lose all your Dramacoin and Marseybucks and Badges regardless of your Truescore and will be exiled from all applicable holes permanently. The details of this separation plan can be found below.

Whichever path you choose, we thank you for your service to rDrama.net.

WSJ Said So!

President Trump will fire his first tariff salvo on Saturday against those notorious American adversaries . . . Mexico and Canada. They'll get hit with a 25% border tax, while China, a real adversary, will endure 10%. This reminds us of the old Bernard Lewis joke that it's risky to be America's enemy but it can be fatal to be its friend.

Missed this site like you wouldn't believe.

Their three day ban is up but they are currently private while the unpaid jannies "prepare to reopen."

Either they got everything they could steal from the Treasury or they planted a back door for a real team, not inexperienced 25 year old Musk fanboys.

They're always lying.
