We are going to spend billions on ad campaigns to tell you how committed we are to telling you we care about the thing we're doing that is wrong.

I have learned thru my years of gardening that wasps and hornets are a good thing to have around, not just bees. Not only do they help pollinate flowers, they are predators to some of the most annoying garden pests. I think I've counted at least 7 different wasp species in my garden this summer, they've done a great job keeping the larger pest populations manageable.

I quit my 20+ year career as a sysadmin about 2 years ago and started turning my backyard into a massive garden. I'm currently trying to figure out places to sell large quantities of hot peppers and I'm about to start selling matted and framed photos of flowers and wildlife from my garden.

Fuck IT.

I've been working on not saying "Google it" for quite a while. After saying it for over a fucking decade, its a hard habit to break. But I'm finally getting used to saying just "Look it up"

I saw one of those stupid motherfuckers driving thru my neighborhood the other day. That was the first time I had seen one in person and I have to say it was the ugliest piece of shit I had ever seen. All I could do was laugh at the dumbass behind the wheel for wasting their money on that monstrosity.

Also, am I the only one who remembers the old flash game from like a decade ago with a "cybertruck" that looks exactly like this that you bounced around the screen to kill enemies? I'm going on a mission to find that shit now.

Man, I quit my IT job 2 years ago and I haven't looked back. So glad I got out when I did.

I have to say that I was not a fan of her performance as JJ. While there were some episodes that definitely showed her acting chops, she is not cut out to play a superhero IMO. Most of her actions scenes across the series were painful to watch.

While you joke, that shit really is sort of stupid and has become so overused its cliche. Hollywood seems to think that breaking sound barrier is the only way to show their hero is flying really fast.

Nope, its actually China. Believe it or not, this is a legit martial arts training technique called "Iron Crotch"

I bet it drives you nuts that we folks in the southern US like to drink our tea sweet as hell and ice cold.

Yeah I just got an invite as well and I haven't logged in since the protest that brought the first wave of us here. So karma has to be a deciding factor, I had over 100k I think so that would be the only reason I got an invite.

The thing that everyone ITT seems to be forgetting is that while yes making rice or beans or something similar can be cheap and also very filling. When someone is working 40+ hours a week at multiple jobs to keep a roof over their heads, depression is inevitable. Living paycheck to paycheck is stressful, anxiety inducing, and depressing. So when someone is exhausted and depressed, sometimes all they have the energy for is to pour a bowl of cereal, because anything beyond that is just too much.

But Dixon wrote, rather cryptically, that remaining employees will put “more emphasis on our social channels as we accelerate our discussion with partners to take our content to where it will be viewed most broadly.”

In other words, the in depth reporting and niche shows aren't making enough money, so we're going to dump all that shit and jump on the reality TV bandwagon.

"It's true what they say, cops and women don't mix. It's like eating a spoonful of Drano; sure it'll clean you out, but it'll leave you hollow inside"

I loved the Naked Gun movies.

The Hot Shots movies were funny too.

Found the Apple marketing person.

....but nowhere near the amount and quality of gaming in, say, the NES days where there are more high quality games on that single console than there has been on every console in the last 15 or so years.

Now lets not romanticize older systems. As someone who grew up playing the original NES, I agree the console had a MASSIVE library of games in its hayday, but I would say less than half of them were even worth a shit. But you're right, current consoles are simply leaning hard on "Look at how pretty it is" rather than actual quality gameplay.

Kinda like the fucking TV screens they have on gas pumps for the sole fucking purpose of shoving ads down the throat of captive audiences.

You're right. My mistake.

I don't watch that shit so I get them confused.

Which is why most cop shows function as authoritarian propaganda.

Exactly!! I mean why else do you think Law & Order:SVU has been on the air for like fucking 30 seasons? Its not because of Ice-T's incredible acting ability, thats for sure...

I'm emotionally in a bad place from years of emotional abuse (as a child and an adult). I struggle with ADHD, major depression, and anxiety. I'm unemployed and desperate for a career change. My marriage is in the shitter and I have no friends or family to lean on for anything. I'm all alone....

Yes but image copyright is fickle thing, because at what point does it become not a copyrighted image? I have to reference the "Ship of Theseus" thought experiment, because it does sort of apply here. A fictional character cannot be drawn from a first hand perspective, so some sort of copyrighted image HAS to be used as a reference. So where does one draw the line?

Ditto!!

Brian Kemp should have never been allowed to step foot in the GA governors office in the first fucking place. Especially after he was allowed to oversee his own election as Lt Gov, somehow "lost" hundreds of thousands of voter registration applications prior to his own election, and intentionally deleted voting machine data when it was subpoenaed by the courts during the fallout from that election. The man is a corrupt piece of shit, so of course he would align with another corrupt piece of shit.

I have a question for the author of this stupid fucking article. What the fuck do you think half of the artists on the planet do? They use copyrighted images as reference when drawing fictional characters and they often end up looking very similar to the original. There are thousands of people on social media that sell these drawings on a regular basis.

For me it was gremlins, I was like 8. The end scene with the one that pops out of the fountain, that shit scared the living fuck outta me.

Also being forced to go see Lost Boys with my sister at 10 years old while sick with the flu, because my parents had a date and didn't want to reschedule or some shit. That movie wasn't THAT scary, but when you already feel like absolute shit........

Or rather the answer just as easily could be "Tied up in a closet while my security detail decided to beat my ass and take all of my shit. Since money is now worthless and I have nothing to pay them with"

IIRC, they have UV sterilizers for central HVAC systems. So while it may not sterilize surfaces, it will kill all airborne pathogens.

Lets see some names. Who are these people?

Ding!! The ruling class used Trump to weaponize bigotry.

Whats fucked up is as I've watched all of this unfold, I can't help but briefly entertain the idea that those fuckers all decided to do their own version of Richmond Valentine's Plan from Kingsman:

When you get a virus, you get a fever. That's the human body raising its core temperature to kill the virus. Planet Earth works the same way: global warming is the fever, mankind is the virus. We're making our planet sick. A cull is our only hope. If we don't reduce our population ourselves, there's only one or two ways this can go: the host kills the virus, or the virus kills the host. Either way...

Depression exists regardless of income. It can be caused by genetics, childhood trauma, shitty parents, etc... So that still falls under mental health issues.

There are no laws in international waters.

See I'm a younger GenXer and I'd have to agree with this 100%. Except the only addition for me would be there wasn't even anyone around to tell me about the lemons, just a note left on the table vaguely mentioning them.

Yeah, I've lost count how many times I click on a show to potentially watch and see that its from like 3 or 4 years ago and has only 1 season. I immediately move on and don't even bother at that point.

OMG!! I still vividly remember doing Y2K patches at my old job. We used to have to dial into one of our remote offices via a 56k modem and then run the patch on each and every machine. That shit took months.

It will look bad on people who try to look ethical, but it will have no effect on those who don't. So the Clinton's would take a hit if Bill was on there.....

You mean Mr. Blowjob-in-the-Oval-Office?

N.A.S.H - Network Attached Storage Heater

The entire fucking holiday.

Sorry, I do not.

I've been reefkeeping for over 20 years, I learned by working in a tropical fish store for years.

I am not, I will have to go join.

If you're just looking to get a salt water fish only tank, then there is no need to add anything once your tank is cycled and you've got fish in it. Just like freshwater, the types of fish you have dictate the level of difficulty in care. Just do some searches on beginner salt water aquarium guides and you should find a lot of results with walkthrus.
