Best part is, they're either overreporting it, or they're legitimately dangerous to society from being so overworked in a job that already seems to put them on edge.

I have no quarrel with people being paid for their overtime (in fact, it would be shady for overtime to NOT be paid out), but I don't think 19 hours of overtime per week over the course of an entire year (or 20 if they take 2 weeks off a year) for police officers is OK. Tbh I don't think it's OK for anyone who doesn't earn dividends or bonuses based on company profits, but it's even less OK for police.

Okay, fuck it, I'm getting out of this software engineering thing, I'm moving to the US to become a cop. I think I'm white enough for Trump, definitely whiter than he is.

You're not going to play Witcher 4 because you don't like the games, I'm not going to play because my PC is aging and I feel new GPUs are so ridiculously overpriced, I don't want to replace my RTX 3060 ti anytime soon.

I've never read the books, but... It was clear from game 3 that she was going to play an important role in the future. The entire plot of the main campaign in Witcher 3 was about HER powers. The Wild Hunt wanted her, not Geralt.

Plus also she's awesome anyway. What the fuck is wrong with people? Oh I can't enjoy my vibeo game with a wahmen as main character, it'll ruin my mood!

Honestly I'd rather be looking at a cute girl dashing around than an old man, even if I identify more with the latter. Video games are for exploring things. Fantasy worlds, dragons, wraiths... And the biggest problem with suspending disbelief is playing a character who isn't the same gender as the player? lmao.

Maybe I'm just not enough of a gamer. Only been two and a half decades or so since I first touched a computer and played games.

A lot of those so called cat haters actually love cats. Did you know that outdoor cats have much shorter lifespans?

After watching lotr a bunch of times without really knowing who he is and then watching his newer things, I was like... Wait imdb said he was in lotr? Really?

For someone who plays in so many action movies I feel he actually has a lot of range.

Programmer 2 days off my energy drinks here. Headache is brutal. I'm not the sock wearing type, but I imagine I have a lot in common with them too.

The croissant eventually becomes shit tho

"I'm oppressed so I must also oppress those I have power over"

I thought that if anyone does, it's their partners. I don't know of anyone having named their dick, but I also don't really discuss dicks much with my friends

Now insert the straw

I mean I think there's nothing wrong with advertising OTC meds, which is also legal here. Might sometimes let you know about a product you didn't know existed at all, common ones being gas relief drugs and joint pain creams.

Advertising prescription meds is just weird, feels very wrong, and I don't understand how some countries don't ban it.

LLM? I would've thought they'd use an image generation model for this rather than a language model. But yeah, it just does approximations without a lot of reasoning.

That's not impostor syndrome, that's actually seeing reality how it is?

I thought they're trying to show it as a before and after. They're apparently in the miracle making business after all.

I'm not American, I'm Estonian lmao, but I bet you're one of those Americans who wants to seem cultured so you talk about how much better things are in other countries? Am I wrong?

Edit: Nvm, Canadian - but up till like 2 months ago you guys were America Lite tbh

I usually can't even get all my ingredients washed, peeled and chopped in under 5 minutes. Do you just throw everything on the pan at once and that's it?

Ugh that sucks to hear, I'm too old to get the shot for free. Used to be all women regardless of age and men up to 26. Now it's up to 18 regardless of gender. Of course I only found out when I was 27 and there was no mention of a paid option at all back then.

Do you exclusively cook meals that go in the oven and that's it? No sauces to simmer, etc?

I think if I'm ever staying at your house, I'm ordering McDonalds lmao

The US also has literal holidays centered around sharing a meal with friends or family. Thanksgiving turkey, 4th of July barbecue...

I'd wager the reason people eat in 10 minutes instead of an hour is the same as it is everywhere else: after an 8 hour workday, you feel like all you've got between work and sleep is a few hours and you don't want to waste it on something boring like eating.
