At no point did anyone in the board office say "hey, maybe $6 is too much for a single cookie? we should probably lower our prices"
Im sorry, but this is insane. The market for gourmet cookies doesn't really exist. What the fuck were they thinking?
Confirmed three more closures of Crumbl locations, which brings my count of shutdowns to at least 60 so far this year. One of those three is in Louisville, and comes along with a Chapter 7 bankruptcy filing, which gives us a partial picture of an operator's finances.
The operators in this case walked away from a location that was opened in 2024 and had 2.5 years remaining on its lease. According to court documents, it has $352,780 in liabilities compared with just $10,000 in assets, all in the form of signs and cookie-making equipment. There's no other assets listed, including inventory, receivables, deposits, etc.
The equipment is the collateral for a $269,109, secured loan with Republic Bank. So the collateral is worth just 3.7 cents for every $1 of secured debt.
The operator also said that it lost $17,000 operating the business this year. And it owes $69,000 to the landlord for those 2.5 years remaining on the lease.
At one point, this was one of the top 25% of Crumbl locations and the operators were telling @NRNonline that they wanted a third location.

"what, exactly are you trying to say here?"
The retard says before blocking me (because he doesn't want to hear the answer)
The answer btw is the 1990s, the unified aboriginal syllabics language wasn't invented until *1997*
Before that it was just spoken word. Any ridiculous spelling that you see your streets and landmarks being turned into (without a vote or say from the people living there) was dreamed up by white liberal university students less than 30 years ago. This isn't "tradition" or "history", it's a fucking sham being used to exert power, and nothing else. They say they want "fairness" or "equity" (another bullshit term), but if given the chance, they would send you into camps and take your home.
They don't want equality, they want to be your rulers.
What, exactly are you trying to say here?
Our languages are very, very real, and we have been speaking them for thousands of years.

Phonetically spelling aboriginal words in English (or French) was and is perfectly acceptable, because these people *never invented a written language before White people arrived*
As said, there's no "culture" here, you're forcing a written language on people that was cooked up in a university less than 30 years ago. It's a sham.
People didn't mind names like "Nanaimo" because you can actually read and pronounce it.
"šxʷməθkʷəy̓əmasəm" is complete fucking bullshit and (intentionally) unpronounceable/unreadable by 99% of the population

Finally we get to answer the age old question of "but what if the rape was in self defense?"
>One of the men in Cornell case has officially claimed that Jane Doe touched him sexually without his consent while he was intoxicated.
This nigga Winston Lee pulled an Uno Reverse card lmao. Has nobody else tried this before?

This is almost unbelievable. What are we even doing here?
US road rage killer's sentence quashed because AI video of victim was shown in court bbc.in/4rGHDS4
Community note
The sentence was thrown out because an appeals judge ruled that the video should not have been shown in the original trial. BBC misleadingly implies that the sentence was quashed because of the persuasive impact of the video itself.

It's pretty obvious we are long overdue for an overhaul of our courts system in regards to the special privileges women receive.
Women should stop being believed by default, and the father should be looked at as equally important in the eyes of the law. He should have been able to take his kids whenever he wanted, the mother should not be able to lock them up and starve them to death with the police's assistance like this.
Women probably deserve less rights.
🚨#BREAKING: Two TODDLERS have STARVED TO DE*TH in South Carolina, the MOTHER has been arrested for "not giving them food or water"...
She was allegedly suffering from "postpartum depression" and was discussing Lindsay Clancy.
The FATHER was ARRESTED for "harassment" for attempting to SEE his daughters.
Yes, you read that right.
Their mother, 31-year-old Justine Marie May, is charged with two counts of homicide by child abuse.
According to the affidavit, she told detectives she'd been in a "blur" for two weeks and couldn't remember the last time she gave her daughters food or water.
Emory was 2 and a half. Harlow was the baby.
May was a preschool teacher.
Teacher of the Month, 2019 with a room full of 2-year-olds.
Then, this summer, her family says "something broke in her"
Her family says she was "normal for over 30 years." In late July she left the girls' father.
By mid-August she'd cut off her mother.
By August 23rd, the dad.
He never saw his daughters again.
The grandmother banged on the door.
May's response: "Showing up banging at my door is not okay."
She complained police had been to the house "way too many times." She said police were "on my side."
On September 4th, the grandmother sent a long email, according to the family.
She named a "countdown on the wall in crayon." She wrote that she was afraid this "could lead to you harming the girls and/or yourself."
She begged to take the children.
May's answer: "Don't question my motherhood again."
September 11th, police came out again.
May texted her mom: "Good try with the police."
Then blocked her.
That SAME DAY, the girls' father was arrested. Second-degree harassment.
May asked for a no-contact order and a judge GAVE her one.
The man trying to see his kids got HANDCUFFS.
The woman with a countdown on the wall got a court order PROTECTING her.
September 13th, the grandmother on the dad's side posted publicly: "I'm begging you to get help, before you harm your babies."
May's own brother: "We need to get Justine help... I beg of you!!!"
September 14th, a welfare check.
Police told the dad the kids were okay.
Fifteen days later they were de*d.
...AND IT GETS WORSE.
The family says DSS had an open case for about a MONTH.
The family says they were warned they could be ARRESTED FOR HARASSMENT if they kept requesting welfare checks.
The electricity was shut off.
A bank notice was on the door.
The trash was overflowing.
The sheriff's own affidavit admits deputies had been to that house on prior welfare checks. They knew exactly who lived there. They knew two toddlers were inside.
Monday, the grandmother emailed the chief of police. One more plea.
Tuesday, 1:13 p.m., officers pulled up to Pinewood Drive.
1:30 p.m., the chief emailed her back.
By then deputies were already inside.
Sadly, Emory and Harlow were "beyond the point at which lifesaving measures could be performed."
They are no longer living.
The affidavit says investigators allege May's failure to provide "adequate food and fluids" contributed to both de*ths, and May herself told them she believed they passed away because they hadn't eaten.
WE DO NOT HAVE TO LIVE LIKE THIS!!!!!!!

Directionally, he was right
Unknowingly wore my Kalshi hoodie to the gym this morning and an older black gentleman compared the damage Kalshi is doing to young black men to the KKK and so I think I might have to keep this one in my closet going forward because I don’t need to have that convo again

If you're the kind of person who drives 20 under in a 50, then puts on the brakes to slow down even more when it changes to a 30 (that you are already going the correct speed for), I just want you to know that every single person behind you hates you more than you can even imagine

Sarbjit here is assuming you're all a bunch of idiots, and don't know that the EU requires countries to pay a portion of their revenues to EU regulatory bodies (that the countries themselves don't get to vote for), and that is for sure totally different than a "tax"
How do these countries balance their budgets while paying a portion of their revenues to the EU cartel? By increasing taxes of course! Oh but that's "their own taxes and laws"
Fuck right off you disingenuous patronizing bitch.
Why the hell would we have EU taxes and EU laws? What does that even mean? Every country has its own taxes and laws? This guy is such a dummy. All he likes is USA! USA!

I eagerly await the day for @Adobe to go bankrupt so I never have to look at or deal with a single pdf file ever again. Holy fuck, everything about the Adobe ecosystem is so fucking dogshit horrible.
How do you design something that works this badly, and then charge people money for it?
