Time to stop using lemmy.world communities, fellas.

  • Pentagon draws up rules on possible use of force by Marines deployed to LA protests

    Jump

  • But a Marine in bargain-bin decade-old hardware will absolutely walk straight up the barrel of a “less-lethal” loaded rifle and physically manhandle the cop in luxury fascist tech who thinks <40 hours of range time means they’re ready for combat.

    You're letting your fantasies escape through your skull holes, comrade. The military is going to point their guns, just as the cops next to them will be, at the people protesting the kidnapping of their neighbors by the gestapo.

  • A man can dream

    Jump

  • I think my dream is more along the lines of the internationale, and many hanging with red necks.

  • My first thought was that the comic was intentionally riffing on death's door, where you have a raven/crow/black bird (oh god, unidan's coming!) collecting souls.

  • Ads when you’re pumping gas

  • Aye, get your used hotdogs for free straight from the source!

  • A match afterwards might help... better obscure your face, license plate, and use cash.

  • They're already putting in ads on the dash screen in Jeeps... I'd imagine electric cars (well, teslas, anyway) are going to start getting grumpy that radio stations and spotify get so much 'free' ear time, and start putting in their own ads in the speakers that will play when they feel like it.

  • Have you ever cried over a celebrity or complete strangers death, why?

    Jump

  • Keeping my reply of emphatic no here to not clutter up the thread. The closest I ever came was raising a fictional toast when Brian Jacques passed. I downloaded a copy of the recipe book he had written and made some of the otter's hot soup.

    I do find it interesting that no one in the thread who answered yes is really trying to explain why they cried. Sure, saying that you cared about their work means that you thought they were important, but how is that enough to cause you to cry? It seems like we'd have to drill down into the idea of parasocial relationships and examine how much these folks have built up the idea that the person they cried over was actually a part of their life.

    I'll acknowledge I'm probably the epitome of cold, uncaring bastard when it comes to death. My job involves handling society's recently dead, as well as those who may be getting close. I didn't cry when my family members died; I just don't see the point in crying or even being sad. It doesn't change anything. I'd rather go read a book, watch a movie, play a game, row my scull, ride the bike, or jump out of a plane with friends. Those are all fun, and seem a much better use of my time.

  • So close!

  • If you're throwing out the pasta water, you're wasting some very good stock to make the sauce you'll put on said pasta.

  • In a dramatic incident captured on video, Homeland Security police invaded a Congressman's office and handcuffed his aide

  • solid minority, really. Isn't the 'revolution' numbers often quoted at 1% fighting, 3% support?

    Jump

  • Traffic tickets blur the line between the civil/criminal courts. Especially in my state, where both speeding and the lowest level of assault will put you before the same judge. Since the lowest criminal charges don't carry potential for jail time, even in the effect they have it's difficult to tease out their differences.

  • Becoming a veterinarian is hard

    Jump

  • seagull is so much better though, because you can charge the client for the proctology AND the gynecology!

  • This arcade stick uses the forbidden type A to type A cable

  • That sounds like a really good time.

  • No, all of ya'll are crazy. The dot of dirt on the window was the aiming device for a laser, and you had to use it to cut all the electrical wires without cutting trees or the poles, because those are wood and it would start a fire.

  • That just sounds like one step up from what most consider vanilla sex. "Oh baby, I love it, harder, harder!" is about as much of a lie as "I have never consumed one unit of marijuana, sir."

  • Business optimization

    Jump

  • I came in here thinking that they were finally going to cut costs to the bone by getting rid of employees. Make the customer pay if items aren't restocked to perfection, and no more annoying employees who are being forced to ask if you need help. Sort of like those amazon stores that you 'pay' first with your credit card to enter the store and it tracks what you take.

    Pure, sweet business profits, eh? Eeeh? I bet we could convince an mba to make that pitch, and could bankrupt a few stores before they realize the idiocy.

  • Remember that these things are basically ad-hoc devices that snake oil salesmen have convinced government agencies to buy into. The fact that your muscles near the buttocks move is enough for them to get the next level of the MLM, the interviewers, to be convinced that it can detect it.

  • The interviewers know this, and will fail you after reminding you multiple times that the only answers you can give is yes or no. The mental breakdown has to stay inside your head to be effective. ;)

  • Go take some classes on stress management and biofeedback and learn to control all those things they are testing for

    The only real measure that they can read is your breathing rate. Everything else is so variable naturally that it's just noise.
