Sometimes it’s just luck. I smoke weed and refuse to sleep normally and I still get carded for energy drinks (16+) at 33
No kids though… I don’t know how anyone can look young with kids.

Neoliberal hubris

The team found a password file left from a previous employee on an open, administrative IT share, which contained plaintext usernames and passwords for several privileged service accounts
That’s not going to be a fun meeting.

So the two professions would be equally old.
- Comment on Eat it 4 months ago:
I appreciate the inclusion, but I would probably be considered phobic, if it came up enough to impact my life more. I rejected a window cubicle because the view was stressful and I avoid glass elevators, but that’s really it. Planes are totally fine, though I try not to dwell on actually being very high in the air.

I thought people were dying from infected milk? Is that not H5N2?

I know it’s just another type of lawful evil, but if it helps, I used to work in those types of insurance claims and we denied every single one where they knew or should have known about it (and the rapists themselves were never covered).
I quit, because generallyfuck that, but part of what made me leave was the experience of gathering lists of credibly accused priests and finding their earliest accusation. Any wrongdoing after that could be considered expected and there would be no coverage for it. At the very most, we covered the person who initially hired the perpetrator, but only until the point that they should have fired them (first complaint, sketchy behavior, etc.). If they ignored or reassigned the priest into a new position with access to children, then often even that was denied.
I’ve since moved to another country, where insurance works completely differently, (and the church is in nearly every country, so they definitely have a variety of policies, but at least in the US, you can’t insure expected or intended consequences with most companies, and you can’t insure illegal conduct at all.

It sounds like you’re thinking of Helen Viola Jackson. I didn’t know that, but it was at the bottom of your Wikipedia link :)
- Comment on I'm so tired of hearing about US police brutality and China being authoritarian. Why does it feel like everyone is a hypocrite here? Where are the posts about Chinese protests and police brutality? 6 months ago:
Also, our protesters might get brutalized and slapped with some petty charges. Theirs disappear
Ours also disappear.

Did you block the Star Trek communities? Serious question, just because you hit all the other big lemmy things.
I’m not a super fan, but I fuck with the next generation, but I don’t know many people younger than me (early thirties) who are into it (or were before the last couple of years of new series). That alone skews the age demographic for my head canon, but I don’t know if it’s especially based in reality.

I honestly agree with them about how dumb a lot of our legal system is. Their response is to try and make it dumber, though

The definitions of living, breathing, and life form would probably help

- Comment on We're all a little crazy 6 months ago:
My internal monologue is written. I see letters (they seem typed, but no recognizable font), but I don’t know what it was before I could read.
The only thing I really hear in my head is intrusive- either ear worms or standard intrusive thoughts, otherwise it’s text.
- Comment on I just heard about Brazilian Butt Lifts which is a procedure where they take fat deposits from somewhere on your body and place it in your butt? 6 months ago:
Probably at least half of it is water weight, so it might be pretty close to the recommended pound per week
