  • It's more like the two previous attempts to remove the boot have involved throwing dandelions at it. Somehow, I don't think a third tossing of dandelions is going to make a difference. This isn't saying to stop trying to get the boot off your neck, but there comes a point where you must acknowledge that your methods aren't going to work and it is, in fact, wasted effort to keep trying without changing anything.

  • many just don't want their communities taken over by religious nuts who time and time again have shown they have no interest in integration, and instead just want to force their beliefs on everyone around them.

    Yes, this applies to all extremist religions.

  • Muslim is not a race. It's a backwards ass religion that has been taken hostage by extremists for about 70 years. And while there are small-minded folk who just use Muslim to mean "middle eastern brown people", many just don't want their communities taken over by religious nuts who time and time again have shown they have no interest in integration, and instead just want to force their beliefs on everyone around them.

  • Kind of the opposite but "As the World Caves In". Most people know the cover by Sarah Cothran , but I think the original by Matt Maltese is way, way better.

    It's a song about two people together at the end of the world, and while Sarah sings it mourning the loss of everything, Matt sings it as a love song. To me that's the much more powerful message, that when everything is burning down, the only thing that's left and all that really matters is being together with the person you love, and the only thing to mourn is that you won't have more time with them.

  • Dude, look around. Most of us are way, WAY past the "We're all in this together! We can do it if we try!" method of living and have been operating in survival mode for the past 5 years. And can you blame them? The flood waters are rising and people are wanting to make sure they have a life raft. If that means working for evil people/companies, then so be it. It's not like working somewhere else will stop or slow the flood. Morals are nice, but they won't keep you afloat.

  • Just in Time shipping and manufacturing only serves one purpose, making quarterly reports look good. Managers and equity firms LOVE JiT because keeping inventory on hand doesn't balance well on their spreadsheets. They can not quantify inventory getting used over the course of a few years because they can't see past the next quarter. To them, it's lost profit; even if it doesn't lose its value and is all but guaranteed to get used/sold eventually.

    You would think more companies would have learned the merits of Just in Case manufacturing. Those that did absolutely thrived under COVID as they were the only ones still able to produce.

    But no. The COVID crisis "ended" and companies went "Well something like that will certainly never happen again! Back to the old ways!"

  • Eh... They do actually work for most people, unless they have been trained or take drugs to beat them. There is also a small portion of the population that will just throw false positives all over the place due to anxiety. Those are the reasons it's not admissible in court. People take "not admissible in court" to mean polygraphs don't work at all and are a pseudoscience, but really they work for like 95% of people.

  • Gmail on mobile is pretty horrendous as well.

    Me: "Hey Google, can you pull up the emails with links to the concert tickets I purchased a few months back?"

    Google: "Here is every correspondence you've had with the ticket seller smashed into a single email with only the latest one visible"

    "But I purchased two tickets separately that came in different emails, how do I just get to those?"

    "🤷‍♂️"

  • Here's my take on it:

    On days when I'm working at 100%, I'll admit, I do better in the office than I do at home.

    However, I don't always work at 100%, and I have MORE 100% days at home than I do at work.

    In an average week, I will get more accomplished working from home than I will at work, simply because I am more motivated and energized while at home.

  • In DnD, there are many ways of approaching character creation. You can make a serious character with a deep background which influences the story and play style... Or you can completely ignore all that and just make a goofy little guy. You will usually get some mixture of both in most DnD groups.

    So the first two characters are discussing their serious background and their motivations and then the other two are just like "I am a fancy lil frog nobel." and "I'm a farmer!"
