I cannot remember the last time I saw a high schooler working at a fast food joint.

Phoenicianpirate@lemm.eeto News@lemmy.world•UnitedHealth Group Is Under Criminal Investigation for Possible Medicare FraudEnglish71·1 day agoOh yes, what a mystery! I wonder why that Brian Thompson was replaced… oh yes! He went on an indefinite medical leave! He had a mineral deficiency, notably lead, and after receiving a few choice pills with a fast release system he decided to take a warm mud bath, then he got so relaxed he sank in and has never been seen again.

Phoenicianpirate@lemm.eeto News@lemmy.world•Mexican security chief confirms cartel family members entered US in a deal with Trump administrationEnglish10·2 days agoAlways has been. Trump’s grandfather ran fly by night brothels and cheap hotels that conned people out of their money. I remember reading a travel guide from the 1890s or so that said that women travelling alone, or travelling period, should avoid his establishments.
That tells you something.
Phoenicianpirate@lemm.eeto News@lemmy.world•Mexican security chief confirms cartel family members entered US in a deal with Trump administrationEnglish6·2 days agoWell the cartels are crooks, but they got lots of ready cash around. If they wanted they could buy those citizenship Trump cards any time… and a few preemptive pardons, too.
No way the person putting the sticker on didn’t do it on purpose.
Phoenicianpirate@lemm.eeto 196@lemmy.blahaj.zone•Learning how to defend tran's RulesEnglish3·2 days agoFor handguns one trick is also to put a spent case near the sight (provided the pistol is wide enough to allow it) and practice pulling the trigger while also not disturbing it.
Phoenicianpirate@lemm.eeto News@lemmy.world•New Bill Would Make All Pornography a Federal Crime in the U.S.English1·2 days agoThey do that even without their enemies doing anything.
They are probably full of regret around their younger years and just projecting their own bullshit onto others.
What’s nuts about the executive orders is that he also signed more of them in one month than he did in the whole of the first year of his first term. This is unprecedented.
Phoenicianpirate@lemm.eeto News@lemmy.world•New Bill Would Make All Pornography a Federal Crime in the U.S.English1·2 days agoThe thing about them is that the ones that claim to hate porn the most are usually the ones with the most fucked up fetishes. If you look at my porn habits you’d fall asleep.
Exactly.
I said it for many years. Trump only cares about Trump and no one and nothing else. He doesn’t believe in anything other than having his ego stoked and being enriched. The leaders of the world are absolutely laughing at him, but they also want him in power because he is so fucking easy to manipulate.

Phoenicianpirate@lemm.eeto Not The Onion@lemmy.world•RFK Jr. Took His Grandkids for a Dip in a Sewage-Contaminated Creek For Mother’s DayEnglish3·3 days agoMaster Splinter and the Turtles are mutants with super mutant immune systems AND other systems that give them a neutral smell no matter what. We mere mortals cannot compare to the glory of TMNT.
Phoenicianpirate@lemm.eeto Not The Onion@lemmy.world•RFK Jr. Took His Grandkids for a Dip in a Sewage-Contaminated Creek For Mother’s DayEnglish12·3 days agoConservatives don’t understand humor. George Carlin fucking HATED conservatives and anti-abortion people. He also supported the death penalty (as a joke) ONLY for the upper crust and not for common criminals or people with poor financial background. His logic was quite sound… poor criminal gangsters who live in high crime neighborhoods face death on a regular basis (if 90s gangsta rap taught me anything, it is that the main thing they are concerned about is living to see their next birthday) and ultimately accept that they might face a violent early death.
The wealthy? Fuck no. they are spoiled rotten. They commit crimes with a stroke of a pen that ruin the lives of thousands at a time and enrich themselves. Even if they are caught, they will usually just pay a fine or even if they get a jail sentence, it will be very light and in a comfortable penitentiary, and they can go right back to their old jobs right after (look up the story of Nick Mead, a rogue trader who destroyed the oldest merchant bank in England in the late 90s and was sentenced to 4 years (of which he only served 2 or 3) for his fraud, and went on to be a sports team manager and speaker and is quite a comfortably wealthy person.
Meanwhile shoplift a big enough item and you can serve a multi-decade sentence…
So George’s logic that sentencing wealthy assholes to death for their white collar crimes while giving common murderers lesser life sentences (murder is still bad and the type of person who murders another is not someone you want walking around, generally speaking) makes sense. If the wealthy had to deal with watching their fellow fraudsters being executed on the regular, or at least receiving extremely long and harsh sentences, then we will see a reduction in those crimes. Most low-level crime is done impulsively while most high-level crime is planned heavily, so that makes sense.
Phoenicianpirate@lemm.eeto Not The Onion@lemmy.world•Germ-theory skeptic RFK Jr. goes swimming in sewage-tainted waterEnglish1·3 days agoHe isn’t even a miasma theory guy. He believes in terrain theory. The theory that disease only happens due to the body being malnutrished in some way or had a defect first. That germs and diseases are just opportunists more than anything else.
None of this is true. He had rhe audacity to claim that the two girls in Texas who died from measles were malnourished and that is the main reason why measles happened and killed them. No amount of evidence presented by doctors to him that they were well nourished and were quite healthy before measles hit them was going to persuade him.
Phoenicianpirate@lemm.eeto Not The Onion@lemmy.world•Germ-theory skeptic RFK Jr. goes swimming in sewage-tainted waterEnglish5·3 days agoI have typos like that all the time. So it’s fine.
It was dumber than you think. There was an emperor who reacted to ‘rome falling’ with thinking his pet pigeon, whom he called Rome, had died. When he learned the city had fallen he was actually relieved and didn’t give a fuck.
