It’s one thing when something unavoidable happens like a kid darting out from behind a truck and not being able to stop in time. It’s another thing if someone is willfully not paying attention and careens into a crosswalk full of children. So I would both agree and disagree with your sentiment depending on the circumstances.

I had never heard of Cypher before, but yes. Just like that.

I would want the superpower of linguistics: the ability to fluently read, speak, and understand any language ever spoken or will be spoken.

“I made a mistake, but you guys are trying to put me away for 10 to 20 years—on a mistake,”

A mistake?

A mistake is when you hit reply all to an email to talk shit about your boss. A mistake is when you push a door clearly marked pull. My son not wearing the wrist strap on his VR controller and breaking the TV was a mistake.

A girl dying because you couldn’t be bothered to put your goddamned phone down and do your fucking job is not a mistake.

Mistakes don’t result in the death or serious harm of another person.

Ahem

Thank you. That was easy to understand.

Can someone smarter than me (I know, it’s a low bar) explain how DEI is unconstitutional? Especially when it comes to private enterprises like Apple and Costco?

Edit: okay, I found a decent article that lays it out. While I agree with the basic premise, I know its effect won’t be more equality.

Pretty sure there is a Linux community for just about any question you can think of already on Lemmy.

Or fortshit, for those who don’t eat enough fiber.

If dropping a penny from the top of the Empire State Building is not capable of killing a person on the street, what damage can be expected from dropping a deuce from the same height?

Seems relevant.

As someone with celiac disease, and how much stuff gluten is in (some French fries, soy sauce, tomato soup, etc), I don’t care how ridiculous it seems, I appreciate when manufacturers make it known their shit is gluten free.

Knowing Trump, it’ll be a little sippie cup of dried semen.

I hope I’m wrong, but it wouldn’t surprise me if everything recently wasn’t according to plan. Everyone stalls the trials long enough to get Trump elected, and now that he’s elected, let the trials continue until he’s found guilty. Use that as a means to impeach Trump from office, and then replace him with a younger, less smelly, boot licker that’s easier to control.

What? You’ve never bragged to your homies about your hookups?

I would call my boys to tell them I love them. I would let my ex know that my dog needs to be picked up tomorrow. Then I would eat the remainder of my gummies and go to bed. My dog of course would likely follow and lay beside me as I drift off into nothingness.

Bridges don’t just appear out of nowhere! Someone has to do it.

Awww! I begged my mom for my own volcano when I was a kid. She even said that if I saved up my allowance, I could have one a couple of weeks from when I asked.

Sadly, she feigned no memory of said promise after those couple of weeks. And my dreams of having a pet volcano were dashed.

😢

Happy cake day!
