  • Demo ranch. Started making comments about the George Floyd protests and I was out

    AvE started praising the trucker convoys

    Shadiversity got super homo/transphobic and also is just an arrogant douche since his book.

  • Frodo straight up cursed smeagol.

    He sealed his own fate when he laid hands on Frodo trying to take it. Literally cursed him to fall into the crack of Doom to be destroyed alongside the ring.

    Frodo has a little bit of the Ainur in him, methinks.

  • It finally clicked for a friend when I asked him if he knew how old the "young women" were in another case, and he said "I don't know... 25?" which then got corrected to "16 or 17" when I reminded him that the "young women" in question were minors.

    So finally I called out and asked his daughter to show us the cool picture she was working on in the study, and she excitedly runs in to show us. She was 9 at the time.

    I asked him how he enjoyed the picture that "young woman" drew for us. I literally saw the change on his face when it clicked.

  • Hide a bin ladin or demon core in there and you're good to go

  • Hanlon's Razor and all that, but I just assume that's to drive up interaction in the post.

    Rant/ramble ahead, you can skip:

    By misspelling something, or just doing/saying something that common sense should say is wrong ("life hack, I just discovered this thing that literally every 5 year old already knows about") you will draw out all the people who are genuinely trying to help, people who just can't help themselves but smugly correct someone, people who THINK they know the right way but aren't sure, people who claim to have never seen the right way before, and all the bitch fights such comments produce.

    The increased interactions make the post do better in algorithms, which means it goes out to more and more people, who continue the cycle.

    My wife watches short form endless scrolling videos despite knowing how bad those are for your mental health, and some of the people she stops to watch are CONSTANTLY pulling the "common sense says otherwise" one. Like my dude you did NOT just figure out in your 20s that you can wait for the shower to warm up before you get in. Literal toddlers know better. It's such a simple thing, I genuinely do not believe anyone in their 20s just gets in the shower while the water is still cold because they never figured out they can wait for the warm water. But hoooo boy did their video take off and have millions of views, and thousands of comments about how wild that is.

  • As long as you rake in the cash quick enough, you can be rich before anyone realized that you're the problem.

    And now you've got money to pay people to beat them into submission when they complain.

  • Honestly I have no idea.

    And its not just my immediate family either.

    When my grandfather died, nobody in my family had been told he was having anything done until that morning, so we scrambled to visit him. There wasn't any huge problem, but any time someone in their 70s is in the hospital, especially for a surgery, it's cause for concern.

    And its a good thing we did because he bled out during the surgery, which was supposed to be a minor surgery in his lower abdomen.

  • I found out my mother had HEART SURGERY two weeks ago when my sister sent a weird "she's out of the operating room and I recovery" message, I thought she meant her mother in law and was informing my parents on the family group text, since my parents know her a lot better than I do.

    Nope. It was my own mother, and nobody told me about a surgery they all knew about 6 months in advance.

  • I was about to say, "what do you mean 'old days', I'm still playing!"

    This game will outlive DOOM being run on things.

    Or more likely, someone will figure out a way to play one in the other.

  • JUST

    DO IT

    Hell, make it 100%.

    All countries

    100% import taxes on all ICE

    Make people demand EVs

    Motivate countries to produce in-country.

  • NCD is leaking again...

    Not that I mind.

  • Lol ain't that the truth.

    But I also don't do any of that for a job, so I doubt my boss will agree!

  • What if I can operate several different types of forklifts, reach trucks, skid steers, and an excavator, but I'm not "certified"?

  • And if you take a hit to performance (you will) you might get fired! And then all that was for nothing.

    Honestly I think if that happened to me I'd fire the building. From existence.

  • He was usually in 3, and in DS9 when Picard catches him before he disembarks the Enterprise, he leaves from 3 and Picard mentions it's O'brien's favorite transporter room.

    There may or may not be a few patterns in storage...

  • "Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice"

    What do you even do if your office gets burned and melted by a volcano? Do you take a week "off" and all meet up in a new space? Do you look for a new job? Like damn, if the warehouse I work in burned down I'd be completely out of a job unless I can move 1,000 miles away.

  • Literally, if you know there's 0 chance of it happening, why not test?

    Note: this is very different when you're a government entity making the claim and doing the test vs when you're an individual making a claim and then someone else does the test, especially if law enforcement or other government bodies are involved.

    If the UK investigators were so sure, then doing the tests remove all doubts, and nobody can point to it and go "then why didn't you test? Seems shady to me" because... Well... Seems shady to me.

  • The last time it got above 95 where I live, I was a child, nobody went outside that week, and everyone was complaining that it was the hottest days they've ever felt there.

    It's already happened 3 times this year. Once in "winter". All of this week has been above 95.

    This is the hottest year of your life....

    Every year.

    Until you die.

    Potentially of heat-related conditions.

  • "threaten rule of law"

    I mean.... Only if you let them get away with shit.
