Yall had fun names. Ours was just ding dong ditch.

ahh. guess I missed the part where the images were deleted by a lemmy.world admin...whoops

I was missing a bunch of comments up until recently ... the must check English language box in a brower on instance site, not in app, issue...

I saw this last night while searching for an answer to a totally different question

https://lemm.ee/post/5905754

I know this post was a month ago, but maybe this still applies.

It's almost like you started reading this Time Article but never finished.

Or maybe this sciences times article

While the consensus is out about whether or not or attention spans are really shortening, most sources say whatever is going on, isn't permanent...yet.

We still have the ability to unplug and find something that's truly interesting to us, something that we care about, and focus on it. We just have to find it, and then, actually do it.

Yeah...

point is they didn't even catch it the first time...

Or they run every test under the sun and then ignore, misread, or plain refuse to treat the results.

The blood work shows that your blood sugar is borderline diabetic, your kidneys are failing and the xray shows a fracture... your fine, go home.

Cause well, fuck your diabetes, we won't give dialysis until your number of 16 gets to 14 even though the normal is 60 and all the rest of what's off relates to your kidneys, and we can't do anything for that fracture in your sternum anyways, nevermind, that we didn't see it until you came back complaining of chest pain...

Recently I had a request to post a gif somewhere, and gifhy was the only thing that I knew was mostly legit. I tried directly uploading, but it didn't want to work.

Is there a better place, you'd recommend, to direct people to for gif uploads?

If a good friend or best friend tells you a ridiculous secret, don't under any circumstances, no matter how much time has past, no matter how silly the secret seems, don't tell it to anyone else, ever.

I learned this the hard way...it's usually a test.

Idk, the website doesnt work for me, but...

The state is using Education Savings Accounts, which is essentially tax payer and private funded. We all pay taxes to our school districts, well here in Texas we have this thing called the "Robin Hood" program. They "recapture" money from rich school districts and disburse it to poorer districts. The state then pays out to the schools per child in attendance.

For every child that is taken out of public school, they remove that funding from the public school (since that child is no longer attending) and put it into an Education Saving Account, which is their way of getting around that pesky separation of church and state stuff. (Thanks, Arizona) Instead of that money going directly to the school the child is now attending, they give the money to the parents, so they can buy new flat screen tvs pay the private school of their choice.

And of course you also have all the "donations" from "people who care about the children's education." (See everyone about to make bank from this shiny, new privatized school system)

As it is with all the laws these asshats come up with, these parents are celebrating the idea, but, of course not realizing, in the long run, its actually removing choice, not giving you more. What happened to your boot straps, people?

I suppose, I was referring to places like a driveway or the yard.

After the rash of shootings where people were being shot at for parking at the end of a driveway or ringing the doorbell, all the gun fanatics started thinking they could shoot people indiscriminately, just for being on the property.

Around here, it seems like they never got the memo that, thats not the way it works. I have neighbors here in texas posting on nextdoor about how they've got guns and anyone who opens the gate to the yard or is going door to door, ignoring the no soliciting sign, is gonna get bullet in the bunghole*.

*yes, a bunghole is a part of a wine barrel, or whatever, and not someone's rear.

Hell, where im from, your more likely to get shot if you try this out.

They got guns and they too stupid to know that castle laws don't apply to the property outside the actual castle.

I'll take it as the lesser of two evils.

Good point.

Just to point out, we're running out of sand to make those windows, as well. They're digging it up from the ocean floor, at this point, which isn't great.

I have no solutions, but I'll sure be quick to point out the problems...

Aww. Guess he made nice with the guy he pissed off.

This is so gross.

I feel ya. That was me last sat. It's sucked.

Edit: but...it gets better...

It was almost dark by the time we got to the last half of the drive, so it was hard really see to much of that part. But just as we left the park we stopped at an overlook, off to the side, right after you get on the the main highway, the last bit of light was dissapearing, but you could still see the whole view. I Def recommend stopping there for one last look. It was beautiful. I'll see if any of my pictures from that spot are even decent.

But if you happen to be driving back toward west glacier / on to somewhere like Columbia Falls, make sure someone e is rested enough to make the journey cause...whewww, that's a drive after hiking around all day.

Thanks! :)

First thought: If this was done on purpose, don't these people know how many bigwigs get caught. Like, all the time. Even martha stewart got caught. Jeeze.

Why would they think they would special? One would think they would give it up at this point.

Second thoughts: if CEOs, etc, keep this up, it makes me wonder how many people get away with it all the time, for them to take a chance like that.

Third thought: they really think the consequences for insider trading are less problematic to them than facing jail, and paying a fine up to, what, 3 times the amount they made? That makes no sense. Back to the second thought, I guess.

I totally just wrote out the wording in a text and sent it to someone and they freaked out.

What that in? It's really acidic?

Bahahaha

Edit: I spelled it out for them and they still called me and asked what it was.

Wow, a whole 2 mile evacuation zone? At least they kept the school closed for an extra day.

So considerate of them...
