Standing Up Against Line Cutting at Walmart / Hey, it's me, Cecil. I wanna share something with you, and I'm not happy about this. So I was in Walmart, and I had been waiting in the, the return line for quite a while, and I could see they only had two tellers, right? So I'm patient, and I, and I see what's going on. It's gonna take a while. I don't have a problem with that, right? Not at all, even if I had to wait an hour or more. So all of a sudden, this guy steps out of line. He's not even in line. He just walks up and, uh, like he wants to be taken care of right now. And I saw him, right? So there was another lady talking to him that works at Walmart, and the tone of his voice, I could tell he didn't wanna wait in line. He wanted to be attended to right then and there. And I'm listening because I know what it sounds like, the tone, okay? And I'm already saying, "No, you better wait in line. You better wait in line. Don't think you're getting past me, especially when I'm up next." And he raised his voice a little bit more, and they were just about to let him jump the line, and that's when I lost it. I said, "No, the f*** you not. You better f****** wait in line. Now, what the f***?" He looked at me. They all looked at me inside. Didn't say a word. They talked to him a little bit more. He took three steps back, and then they called me, and I took care of my transaction. I am not liking this person that I'm turning into. I don't like him at all. But the way things are going right now, I ain't putting up with s*** from nobody, not like I used to. I used to just be like, "Eh." Now, I even shocked myself when it was over. So I'm gonna work on not becoming that guy, but sometimes people will bring it out of you

Romans 3:24-25 KJV Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: [25] Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; 1 Corinthians 15:1-11 KJV Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; [2] By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. [3] For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; [4] And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures: [5] And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: [6] After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep. [7] After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles. [8] And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time. [9] For I am the least of the apostles, that am not meet to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. [10] But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain; but I laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me. [11] Therefore whether it were I or they, so we preach, and so ye believed. Psalm 111:9-10 KJV He sent redemption unto his people: he hath commanded his covenant for ever: holy and reverend is his name. [10] The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do his commandments: his praise endureth for ever. ... ... #Bible #Jesus #1611

boiling hot take Just because your partner reaches for their phone if you try grabbing it or try taking their food like you’re doing that Internet test it doesn’t automatically mean they’re cheating because some people have trust issues so they don’t want you to go through their phone even if they’re in a healthy relationship it can be an instinct. It can be anything you never know what someone used to have in the past strict parents, toxic relationship, etc. just because someone chooses their phone over reaching for their food does not automatically mean oh my God they’re cheating or I should break up with them. Also I would just like to add on. I’m not saying oh my God they’re perfectly innocent but I’m also not saying oh they’re totally cheating. I’m saying an in-between yes it can be suspicious but it also can be not suspicious. Some people just have trust issues. Some people are actually hiding something that you probably need to check out, but that still does not mean searching your phone is the best thing just because I know you should always check if your partner is cheating, but in my opinion it’s a little extreme to do that and also I’m pretty sure it’s a crime to search through someone’s phone without their permission if he didn’t buy it anyways silly Billy out

OPINION Opinion: An ancient disease is making a comeback, By Mark Green,William Steiger, Since its launch in 2005, the U.S. President’s Malaria Initiative has been one of the most effective programs the U.S. government runs overseas. Working alongside partners like the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria, it has helped cut death rates from malaria in supported countries by nearly half. These efforts have prevented more than 2 billion cases of malaria and saved 14 million lives — most of them children. In doing so, it stands as a clear demonstration of American leadership and reinforces the United States’ reputation as a reliable partner committed to saving lives and strengthening global health security. But data shows progress is slowing in some parts of the world because the disease itself is evolving. Mosquitoes are adapting to the tools we have used for decades, and the drugs and insecticides that once worked are losing their edge. Malaria is now the leading killer of children in many African countries. A renewed emphasis on fighting malaria should be central to the Trump administration’s America First Global Health Strategy. When infectious diseases come roaring back, they don’t just stay “over there.” They threaten our economic and national security here in the U.S. The president’s strategy promises a disciplined approach to global health aid, rightly prioritizing areas where the U.S. holds a distinct advantage — particularly through American innovation — rather than attempting to do everything everywhere. Malaria is well-suited to this vision. Breakthrough technologies developed and manufactured in the U.S. have the potential to reduce the transmission of malaria sharply if deployed at scale. New spatial repellents from SC Johnson, for example, can protect families without requiring constant compliance.

Officials warn public not to touch invasive hammerhead worm: 'Silent assassin' By Erin Feiger, Residents in Ontario, Canada, are being advised to remain vigilant for the return of the toxic hammerhead worm this spring. InsideHalton.com reported that this crawling creature — referred to as the "silent assassin" — has been spotted in London and Hamilton. According to the Hamilton Conservation Authority, hammerhead worms are a toxic, non-native species that first appeared in Ontario in 2017. They are believed to have arrived in North America via the introduction of plants from Southeast Asia. The term hammerhead worm encompasses various species of flatworms, also known as shovel-headed garden worms, which is a fitting description of their shape. They can grow between 5 and 10 centimeters in length and may exhibit multiple colors. They are also toxic, releasing a neurotoxin called tetrodotoxin — the same substance found in pufferfish. While not fatal, this toxin can cause skin and eye irritation in humans and can be harmful to pets if ingested. Hammerhead worms reproduce both sexually and asexually, producing an egg capsule that hatches in about 23 days, yielding up to eight offspring. They also have no natural predators, so controlling their spread is the best way to mitigate their damage. Hammerhead worms eat earthworms, snails, and insects. Reducing the population of native species, like earthworms, can negatively affect soil health and nutrient cycling. If you come across a hammerhead worm, experts recommend using a covered hand, a stick, or a small shovel to pick it up, then placing it in a sealed container with soapy water or vinegar and salt. Dispose of them in the sealed container.

On March 20, 2005, near Salman Pak in Iraq, a 26-vehicle supply convoy rolled through a dusty road under a blazing sun. Then everything exploded. Around 50 insurgents launched a coordinated ambush. Machine gun fire tore through the convoy. RPGs slammed into vehicles. The road became a trap — a k!LL zone with no easy way out. Inside that chaos was Sergeant Leigh Ann Hester, a team leader with the 617th Military Police Company. Most would have taken cover and waited. She didn’t. Alongside her squad leader, she moved directly toward the enemy. Their Humvee pushed into the ambush, cutting off escape routes. Then they dismounted. And she advanced on foot. Hester moved toward the trench lines where the attackers were positioned. This wasn’t long-distance fighting. This was close. Immediate. She threw grenades. Fired her weapon. Cleared trench after trench under constant fire. Step by step, she pushed forward until the ambush collapsed. When it was over, dozens of attackers were neutralized. The convoy survived. Every American soldier made it out alive. That outcome wasn’t luck. It came from a decision to move forward when everything said stay down. On June 16, 2005, she was awarded the Silver Star. She became the first woman since World War II to receive it for direct combat action. But outside military circles, her name is still not widely known. No headlines that lasted. No constant recognition. Just a moment where everything could have gone wrong… And didn’t. Because one soldier chose to run toward the fight instead of away from it.
