Poisonous skittle. Bam, everyone happy.

We have one fork with a bent tine and my son lovingly refers to it as the “autistic fork” (he can say it, he has autism himself)

It’s a sign of intelligence to be able to “connect the dots”, so arguably this is a transferable skill.

Considering many male reptiles have hemipenes, not all that surprising I suppose.

This guy would’ve made such a great president, in hindsight.

Shitty ads/malware incoming in 3…

I hope the process is almost automated

IIRC it is, but they do receive notice. One specific victim gets mail at least weekly of new offenders having been caught with her material. She gets an automatic cut each time, but I honestly wonder if I would want it at that point…

I’m sure that’ll bring them back up to par with AMD. Oh wait…

It’s obviously by design. They’re hoping the affected vets will take it out on the medical personnel. And the worst part is they’re probably right.

Don’t medical personnel have to take a Hippocratic oath? And doesn’t that supersede changing laws?

I suppose in real life, cash is king, and morality is decided by the amount of digits in your bank account.

Surely he could’ve seen that coming?

Technically correct, the best kind of correct.

Had a similar encounter with a wasp. Little bastard was blind drunk, I enjoyed seeing him trying to fly and failing out of sheer intoxication. Bumped into the umbrella stand a few times before it decided that walking was probably the better means of locomotion.

Mostly because of Murdoch.

Madlass, respect. I’ve got the cat part down pat. Now just for the castle and the millions.

I imagine they’ll feel a lot worse after shooting civvies.

But they’ll get over it.

Are forks like Librewolf also affected? And have they been updated?

Companies that once shared productivity gains with workers through higher wages now capture those gains entirely as profits for shareholders and executives.

My own employer used to be a mid-sized company excelling in the specific service they offered. I worked there for five years while they kept growing and things just kept getting gradually “better”. Then, during Covid, the owner decided to sell to a multinational and almost immediately we lost bonuses, incentives, perks and tools. They kept growing the sales department (and the actual sales) without growing support or backoffice.

As a result we are massively overworked, have less tools than we ever did before (or they just don’t work anymore) and our deadlines have tightened significantly without new hires in the dept.

Our choice is to grin & bear it and keep a roof over our heads, or to protest it and lose all income.

No, it’s none of that. It’s that in my over four decades of life, I’ve never once lived up to my OWN potential, and despite trying my best, giving up, trying again, … countless times, I’ve still never managed to markedly improve my station in life, or my enjoyment of it.

I know I have everything I need to be capable, smart, confident person, but I’ve never BEEN any of those things, even fleetingly, so I can’t really even imagine how it would be like.

Pathethic, I know.

Have you ever lived in the projects? As a (former, but still) poor person, living there is… challenging. Your opinions of your fellow humans regularly have to be adjusted, especially if you’re prone to being an optimist.
