Yes, Charlie Kirk said this. Yes, he also said he prefers "sympathy more than empathy". Sympathy is just an acknowledgement of pain: "thoughts and prayers". Empathy is putting yourself in someone else's shoes. We can have empathy for Kirk's grieving loved ones, even if he didn't believe in it.

My boyfriend and I were watching the first Final Destination movie, when we spotted someone eating Whoppers. We both said "Those look really good.", and we were sobor. We couldn't remember the last time we had them. We got some before finishing the movie. Product placement worked 25 years later.

PSA: The diagonal lines next to handicapped parking spaces allow for clear space for people in wheelchairs to load, unload, and access the ramp. The lines are *not* intended to accommodate a need to park like an asshole, as this Tesla owner seems to think.
