  • San Diego’s highest paid city employees? Cops racking up overtime and earning over $400,000

    跳过

  • Replace it with what? Militsiya? Pretty much every country in the world calls their law enforcement "police" these days. I suppose there are some that have gendarmerie or carabinieri or similar, though those exist next to police rather than instead of them usually.

  • 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 can't just have Geralt for every single game" says his voice actor, and if you think The Witcher 4 making Ciri the protagonist is "woke," then "read the damn books"

  • 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.

  • Oh yeah, I've encountered those. Terrible translations.

  • Well to be fair, AI is a tool to accelerate greed.

  • I usually don't, but I turned on the front page suggestions. It was a mistake. The fully AI generated videos are from a channel that came up when doing a super specific search that didn't have a lot of good results.

    Normally I have Kurzgesagt, Oversimplified (who posts once a decade), Casually Explained and a lot of car repair channels.

  • not easy to quit Amazon completely

  • And if you're Estonian you've probably already heard of hinnavaatlus which has been the go-to price comparison here for over 2 decades. Expats might not know so I thought I'd mention in case anybody ever moves here.

  • not easy to quit Amazon completely

    跳过

  • Honestly for me the answer has been "yes" or "kinda" every time. But to be fair I've ordered from Amazon twice. ANC headphones for my first long flight because I knew I wouldn't stand the noise and a Bluetooth to aux module in my car that made it a breeze to always have Waze on to tell me about hazards and remind me I'm doing 6 km/h over and there's a camera coming. The first saved my sanity, the second was just a huge QoL improvement with a jackless phone and two regular dongles crapping out on me. Not a necessity but I literally couldn't go back to no bluetooth afterwards.

  • Interesting question I really hadn't thought about

  • 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

  • Spotify caught hosting hundreds of fake podcasts that advertise selling drugs

    跳过

  • 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.

  • 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
