- Comment on Whoopi Goldberg calling herself 'a working person' garners criticism from 'The View' fans 12 hours ago:
Exactly technically she is right. She still has a boss, she still has to turn up somewhere at a certain time and do a certain thing in order to get paid. But lets not pretend that she still NEEDS to be a “working person”.
Once you have enough money for working for the rest of your life to be optional (even if you had to take a significant reduction in lifestyle) you are now a different class of “worker” and that is a HUGE difference in stress and demand on your life.

Google “Knee sleeves” literally designed for the purpose.

Theres something enormously satisfying about asking the question “And are you willing to give me that in writing?”
Then watching them squirm as something in their brain goes full Ackbar “ITS A TRAP!”

Because Nintendo games on Nintendo handhelds almost never go wrong and you know what parents love? Their kids shit always just working. You dont have to check the system specs, you buy the game at the store and it WORKS. You wrap the game under a tree at Xmas, you can tell grandma “Nintendo Switch” and while she might pick something shit, its going to work.
Lemmings love to act like they are enlightened for figuring out the Steam deck is better… its not for you. Its for 5 to 10 year olds.

No its not. It doesnt meet the criteria for murder.
Section 1751(a) of Title 18 incorporates by reference 18 U.S.C. §§ 1111 and 1112. 18 U.S.C. § 1111 defines murder as the unlawful killing of a human being with malice, and divides it into two degrees. Murder in the first degree is punishable by death. In any case in which the death penalty may be applicable, it is necessary for the United States Attorney to follow the procedures set forth in JM 9-10.000. The Attorney General must authorize the United States Attorney to seek the death penalty in any case. Any other kind of murder is murder in the second degree and is punishable by any term of imprisonment including life.
Congratulations, your insistence its murder just got them off scott free because their death was not the intended outcome of the manager/companies actions. Different charges are different charges for a reason.

Murder wouldnt stick, have to prove intent.
Negligent Homicide or Criminal Negligence on the other hand…

Yeah, edited that for clarity. Thanks.

Thats a bit simplistic.
Caffiene has a half life of 5 hours, which is to say in 5 hours your average person will have metabolised half the dose. So if you have 200mg at lunch time, at 5pm your still feeling the effects of 100mg, it could take 10 hours to completely clear your system. If you’re sensitive to Caffiene,have a low tolerance or metabolise it slower you might have trouble sleeping before midnight.
I have a biblical tolerance, I’m up at 4am for work and I’m on a pretty serious cutting diet. I have my preworkout can at 3:30 and have no trouble sleeping at 8:30 to 9pm.

I should have said “The original Jack3d” They took the DMAA out which was what made Jack3d kick ass in the first place.

Nah they took Jack3d off the market.

I took that one to mean You know your Samsung S21 was made by Samsung. That suspiciously cheap “hoverboard” with the lithium ion battery was made… in china… somewhere.

Yes it was. It was so frigging good.

They do damn near 10/10 work when they give a fuck, Thats probably the worst part.
Siege was damn near perfect as a tactical competitive shooter for the first few years. The Division was great, Just Cause was enormous fun and so on.
The problem is they hit a winner, and then milk it and milk it and milk it until we hate it or them.

The 4th pig built his house from wolf skulls, significantly less practical but it does send a fucking message.

I commented on one of my other accounts that I.was looking at the BYD electric sedan because its cheap, fast AF and I can charge it off my home solar.
Apparently I am party to the slaughter of The Uyghur people and I should be ashamed of myself.

All of fucking Lemmy.
I’m a normie, I dont Linux, I dont communist, I dont vegan, I dont FOSS, I dont care about hiding behind over 9000 proxies for muh privacy.
I used to Reddit for memes, lulz and banter but they killed my preferred app and turned the site to shit so I bounced to the alternative, but in the last year this place is becoming increasingly fuckin negative, I find more actual humor on facebook.
Some of you need to laugh at a fart joke once in a while.

- Comment on How many squirrels do you think you could take in a fight to the death? 2 months ago:
Lie on the ground, tuck head into arms protect face and vitals, aggressively log roll back and forth.
Takes away their extreme agility advantage and uses my mass as a weapon… I think 100 would probably be a pretty fair number.

Yeah about 20 years ago.
The vibe was different, it was racist, sexist, bigoted and homophobic jokes. Now it feels like a bunch of racists sexists bigots and homophobes telling jokes. Nobody cared about who anyone really was, it was a shittalking shitposting competition. At some point it stopped feeling like bantz, it just started to feel ugly.
Maybe I just grew up a bit, but I at least remember it being that way.

The “you can microwave your IPhone to recharge it” and “Iphones are waterproof” were amazing.
The Burger King lettuce boxing was pretty funny too.

I remember 4chan when it was “good”
Back then 4Chan was all about how funny your content was. Nationality, sexuality, gender, economic status… none of it mattered a bit.
Its a cesspit now, but it was responsible for some truly epic shit.
- Comment on The new middle-class retirement plan: Working into old age 2 months ago:
People underestimate govt jobs because nobody ever got rich doing them so everyone thinks the pay is shit. Its actually pretty good, benefits are good, its really hard to get fired if you genuinely try to do the job well, and usually a pretty strong union presence.

You could solve that with a tech and enforcement solution pretty easily. Specially encoded GPS units, numberplate recognition and eyewatering fines for anyone caught doing it.
