  • It's not "less than lethal." It's "less lethal." Less-than implies they're not lethal, when they are. Even a taser or tear gas is lethal. See: the numerous people who've been shocked into cardiac episodes, or people getting burned / caught in fires.

    "Less lethal". Still lethal.

  • And the title... I hate the passive voice shit with pigs.

    "Hit by rubber bullet"

    The man aimed at her and opened fire. It's on camera. "Shot by cop."

  • I teach evolutionary psychology and show a scene from.Planet Earth where birds of Paradise dance for mates. Food's plentiful, so going "hey, girl. I can get food." Isn't an asset. They gotta do a silly dance to attract a mate in such a food-loaded environment, instead.

    I guess you can spin that kind of stuff to poorly explain human behaviors, but from everything I've read and prepped, it's a very broad but innocuous field of psych, if relatively nascent.

  • Not soon enough...

  • There was a time in my life, working retail and later grad school, when the only reason my phone would ring was a lab emergency, a meeting I was supposed to be at but wasn't, or someone calling out and the store needing a "key" to cover the shifts.

    Despite years of detachment from this time, I get legitimate anxiety whenever my phone rings.

  • Yeah, it's The Onion's internet culture / clickbait site.

  • Back in high school, a buddy of mine mused about something that still itches my brain.

    When they built the first computer. How the fuck did they figure out how to "make it turn on"? Like... the first boot cycle.

    Really makes you appreciate some of the insanely complex stuff that we take for granted.

  • Nah, it's not missspelled; they're worried about releasing "chatgbt" into the wild.

  • I don't even know anymore. Grading in green is ragebait.

  • Oh, not multiple car lanes, no. Just the pedestrian/bike throughway, I guarantee, will have a nonzero amount of drivers on it. Hence why I put lanes in quotes.

  • More than one "lane" you could turn into or out to. People are idiots, so you gotta remember how had bad things could get.

    I lived in a place with a basic circle put in to "smooth" traffic on a small-but-main avenue, and they had a town hall meeting, YouTube tutorial, and a hands-on workshop on how to navigate a regular circle. People still came to the thing, put a left signal on, and pulled straight into oncoming traffic because they wanted to go that way. ¯(ツ)_/¯

  • Hey now. That's...

    checks notes

    antisemitic to mention...?

  • Congratulations! We've been misreporting your electricity use and have remediated the charges. You now owe $4200 in past due charges, due immediately, or your service will be terminated.

  • Can confirm. My grad mentor's grad mentor used green because he'd read a paper that green causes more eye strain and he thought it'd be hilarious to grade in green.

    I grade in green because it drives my students nuts.

  • That's certainly the intensity to which I'll celebrate Trump's and Musk's deaths days.

  • Agreed, this is ultimately fantastic news, if true. Fuck that guy and I hope his various organs just give up one by one. Or all at once. He's a wildly destructive loser of a man.

  • Shame he didn't have orbital cluster munitions. He could've done a blanket of good.

  • That explains the awful table.
