Time to stop using lemmy.world communities, fellas.
Right pocket on the uniform, because I fear putting my shears and stethoscope in the same pocket, and the shears have a tip that doesn’t facilitate the left pocket, and the stethoscope rubber is too grabby on the phone.
Left pocket in general, because my wallet is in the right and I hate them clanking together.
Sailing, maybe, but rowing doesn’t have to be upper middle class. I’m solidly lower middle class, if that, and I get by. With the club, it’s about the same as a gym membership subscription at the end of the day.
Ha, I wish! They’ve fired people already for merely obscuring the camera for a few seconds. There is a hilarious clip of someone reaching up with a pair of scissors and getting the wire, but I like having a steady job with insurance too much. Maybe when I get tired of this shit and get hired somewhere else.
I feel ya, mate. I’ve got the same thing in my company vehicle. It absolutely irritates the shit out of me that anyone above my level of the hierarchy can look at me any time they want.
I’m actually pleasantly surprised by how much movies get right with rowing and sailing in movies.
The one that does make me roll my eyes is the scenes where characters are chilling in the galley or bed and then suddenly run up because they hear/see a problem through a porthole. I always get pretty grumpy with the idea of folks being actively under sail and simply ‘tying’ the wheel or tiller and going under the deck. Only the incredibly expensive sailboats can truly get away with that. A small, affordable to a middle class type, yacht will have that with a motor, but sails are not so forgiving. If the wind changes you could have a pretty bad day, and even a perfectly ‘straight’ tiller will likely have you turning circles ere long. That’s not even considering how poor of a decision that would be unless you were a military ship in the middle of the ocean and others would get out of your way. Just because collisions are super de duper unlikely doesn’t mean they’re impossible.
God, yes! Once I learned about that I can never focus on the movie when they’re playing that clip. Sort of like the wilhelm scream, but in a ‘big sigh’ moment rather than a humorous one.
they slightly increase it to keep the average around 100
They don’t “slightly increase it to keep the average around 100.” The average is defined as 100. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_score https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IQ_classification
I’m clean! Don’t you put that bad juju on me, ricky bobby!
I’m just done with epic. At some point they’ll try selling user information and I’m not interested in giving them anything more than they have.
I hate you. I hate you so much right now. I’m going to be trying this for the next week.
I feel you. The only reason I stopped is because they finally did something that didn’t allow my steam account to log into the game. I’ve been clean for a few months now.
Wanna help me get through sen’s fortress? I’m bashing my head against that wall. No matter how many times I beat the games, that place gives me nightmares as the blades knock me to my death.
.> It maaaaay be because I have stick drift and my toon will randomly stop running forwards and walk, but it maaaay be because I just hate lizards with shields.
I love that there are people like you who have the kerbal science down. I still try to get into orbit by strapping more solid fuel rockets on and smashing that space bar. I recently became quite skilled at getting up to 12 people into orbit and back down again because, goddamnit, it pays the bills for all the failed missions to the other side of the planet to take thermometer readings.
Looking at the picture, I don’t think she did either.
The prisons that hold death row inmates are not private, for-profit companies. The numbers have been falling steadily and are incredibly low. Still a problem, because that number is high enough to have stupid amounts of influence, but it has nothing to do with death penalty costs. Those are all because we afford death row inmates a large amount of appeals, which costs ‘lawyer money’ where some prosecuting lawyer pretends he wasn’t on a salary and they claim it’s worth X hours x Y wage, and the defense attorney does the same but with a little more truth because he is getting paid by the hour.
or if it’s “natural” to be attracted to 14yr old girls as an adult man (all topics I’ve seen on Lemmy)
Wait, what?
I won’t do what you tell me.
Group think and social pressures. It is remarkably easy for humans to find themselves behaving like those around them. The progression doesn’t even have to be fast. Imagine that when the israeli military fought wars in the mid 20th century, they started thinking of the enemy around them, and then imagine how long it has been since then with no corrective measures ever taken on those lines of thinking. NOW add in that israel has mandatory military service. The ones who choose to stay are going to be the ones that can agree and fit in with those now very evolved thoughts of hatred, and of course they will bring their own worse additions as they try to prove themselves to those the esteem, the already putrid military members ranked above them.
Don’t you have to make >6 figures to have to pay the US anything in taxes, if you’re earning the money overseas?
You’re not wrong, but there are a lot of places in america where law enforcement presence is a long way away. Those places also typically have two lane highways and not much, if any, shoulder. That makes stopping the truck easy enough. Add to that the heavy presence of hideaways in the forests around, and you could jack a fair amount from a truck and shuck it into your box truck before skedaddling to a rural dirt road and all of its pullouts right quick.
Keeping my reply of emphatic no here to not clutter up the thread. The closest I ever came was raising a fictional toast when Brian Jacques passed. I downloaded a copy of the recipe book he had written and made some of the otter’s hot soup.
I do find it interesting that no one in the thread who answered yes is really trying to explain why they cried. Sure, saying that you cared about their work means that you thought they were important, but how is that enough to cause you to cry? It seems like we’d have to drill down into the idea of parasocial relationships and examine how much these folks have built up the idea that the person they cried over was actually a part of their life.

I’ll acknowledge I’m probably the epitome of cold, uncaring bastard when it comes to death. My job involves handling society’s recently dead, as well as those who may be getting close. I didn’t cry when my family members died; I just don’t see the point in crying or even being sad. It doesn’t change anything. I’d rather go read a book, watch a movie, play a game, row my scull, ride the bike, or jump out of a plane with friends. Those are all fun, and seem a much better use of my time.
