  • The comments under this post are a great indicator of how much U.S. defaultism has ruined online conversations. Fucking Fahrenheit weirdos.

  • Repost

    Really, not even 24 hours?

  • Who says memes should be funny? Who says what even is funny?

  • That's not a lot IMHO. It's quite warm, but not hot.

  • Why are you asking IT for these things, isn't this a request for idk accounting or some other department that is about spending money?

  • Yep, omnipotence is logically impossible. But try tell that a christian. That's my point, the christian god is logically impossible.

  • No, the christian god its not just capable of changing things, it is omnipotent. That means it could change things without interfering with the free will.

  • 22 of 24. Yeah, I know too much antidepressants...

  • Some of you guys have really warped definitions of libertarianism...

  • i don’t have the time to deconstruct it for ya,

    Then you should take that time. Because

    the “uyghur genocide” claims are basically an astroturfed campaign by an evangelical christo-fascist named Adrian Zenz.

    needs damn citation. Especially in the face of these:

    Counterterrorism and Preventive Repression: China's Changing Strategy in Xinjiang

    In 2017–18, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) changed its domestic security strategy in Xinjiang, escalating the uurlse of mass detention, ideological re-education, and pressure on Uyghur diaspora networks.

    Cultural erasure: Tracing the destruction of Uyghur and Islamic spaces in Xinjiang

    The Chinese Government has embarked on a systematic and intentional campaign to rewrite the cultural heritage of the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region (XUAR). It’s seeking to erode and redefine the culture of the Uyghurs and other Turkic-speaking communities—stripping away any Islamic, transnational or autonomous elements—in order to render those indigenous cultural traditions subservient to the ‘Chinese nation’.

    The Uyghur Genocide: An Examination of China’s Breaches of the 1948 Genocide Convention

    This report concludes that the People’s Republic of China (China) bears State responsibility for committing genocide against the Uyghurs in breach of the 1948 Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide (Genocide Convention) based on an extensive review of the available evidence and application of international law to the evidence of the facts on the ground.

    If you're claiming these are false, invented or otherwise untrue, you need damn good evidence.

    if you’re really leftist […]

    Really? A No True Scotsman is really bad style.

  • I also think it comes off as a bit snotty. Nobody's perfect and asking through the basics is the tech covering themselves, too. And who says that your basics and their basics are identical?

    I usually start by giving a detailed description of the problem and of what I already tried in particular.

  • No, swords were mostly civilian self defense weapons and backup weapons as pistols are nowadays (and, mind you, even nowadays where governments have the money to equip every soldier with a rifle and a pistol, they don't).

    The reason swords were not as widely used in battle as spears, axes, maces, polearms were is that these weapons are battlefield weapons and swords aren't. Why depends on the situation and time period. Sometimes because they're not as effective against armor, sometimes because they're too expensive, sometimes because they required more training than a pointy stick.

    Btw, there was an empire that widely equipped it's armies with swords (through times) because it made sense with the rest of the kit, fighting style, enemies, etc. The roman legionnaires are most famously depicted with a gallius helmet, lorica segmentata, scutum pilum and gladius

  • Basically, absolutely nobody saw this meme, […], and thought “hmm, i don’t know what’s supposed to be being said in this case.”

    Me, who's not a native english speaker, did have exactly that problem.

    So no, not everybody knows what OP intended to say.

  • Maybe FreeVee. But definitly on the high seas.

  • You need to be lucky and have a good boss to get promoted.

  • Then you're only getting more work, not more free time, for the same wage

  • Also, to all the clean while you cook advocates on here, that's easier to do with a known preparation. When you've Just downloaded a new recipe and you have no idea what you are doing, your often don't have the bandwidth to leave the project and start cleaning.

    Then maybe read the recipe before you start.

  • Or the memes of production

  • Ohhh

    Jump
  • "door opening mechanism maintenance"

    Yes

    "Car wash hose boss"

    Almost. „Car wash operator“ it is.
