Four in sight. Wasn’t there that video recently with about 10 for a target clerk?

Short Stories@literature.cafe•Titanium, Ruin and Strife (author: me)
2·3 days agoRead it. Enjoyed it. I felt the ending needed something more to flesh it out or be connected to something earlier.
Hey! We agreed that in public his name is bob! Don’t disrespect bob. In public.
Eh… gimme a 2,3; a 2,2; a 1,3; aaaand, why not, a 1,2.

Europe@feddit.org•Greenlanders are mocking the USA on social media by acting like they are fentanyl addictsEnglish
7·3 days agoThere are soldiers who can describe standing guard over growing poppies. Americans heard the old saying about left hand not knowing what the right hand is doing and decided to add modern weapons to the mix.

You Should Know@lemmy.world•YSK: When you sit in your car and have a speakerphone conversation, there’s no privacy
5·3 days agoAye, this is one of those weird things that I’ve noticed. The conversations somehow broadcast outside the vehicle much louder than music. Something about how voice calls are handled by the sound system is different, whether it’s volume boosting or something else.
It’s more about the threat, isn’t it? If the other side believes you might be suicidally crazy, they might not want to fight the war, even if otherwise it would be a one sided victory.
Don’t discount the ability of people to follow simple directions and manuals. Also, don’t discount that there are a large number of otherwise intelligent people who are maga. They have plenty of people who can do calculus, program in an IDE or on a circuit board, and carry on with all the other things you might view as impossible to ever happen at a republican convention. We all have strengths and weaknesses, and few are immune to propaganda. There seem to be a large number of people who have a peculiar weakness to ‘simple’ logic and strongmen blowing their own horn.
Anyway, without going into the weeds, let’s just take a moment and appreciate that there was a very long and large chain of command that carried out the literal listed example of a war crime on pete’s orders. There would absolutely be no issue for them to secure the weapons for a red government that told them to do such a thing.
The economics of the red states will pale in comparison to the question of where the weapons end up. There are a lot of nuclear weapons in deep red areas.

You Should Know@lemmy.world•YSK: A real American Civil war will NOT be like Battlefield or COD.
7·5 days agoI’m dead in a month as soon as any major part of our infrastructure/supply chain crumbles. yaaaay.
I do wonder if I’m on somebody’s list.
Humorously, they have an actual tool on standby for this in the boot camps. Apparently there are (or were, I haven’t actually checked in the last two decades) enough rubes coming in who always had button flys while growing up that it was an occurrence about once a week.
Meanwhile the ‘small town’ has everything bad about cities, but they simply gloss over it.

4·6 days agoPeople that hatch plans like the federalist society, to corrupt the courts, and project 2025, to destroy the administrative state and consolidate power into the executive, and congresspeople who will support the descent into violent fascism
That’s where we are really fucked. So many of the project 2025 goals have been accomplished. Having a partisan supreme court, and this bare minimum majority of congress, has allowed them to change our course forever more.
Was this an ad? Then yes. Is it a crappy phone picture ad? Then maybe. Is this a crappy phone picture of someone’s measly deep dish? Then no.
It’s a no pasta lasagna.

politics @lemmy.world•We’re Nearing the Day When ICE Thugs Just Open Fire on Crowds
5·7 days agoLook, I would happily pull the trigger on the execution of a convicted ice, but defense attorneys exist for a reason. Yes, they’re often scum. Yes, they often ‘know’ that their client is guilty (paraphrasing one, don’t tell them you did the crime if you actually did it, it does make their job harder because they do have a duty to not lie in court) yet defend them as rabidly as a junkyard dog with a cat wandering in. Yes, they often posit logic or reasoning that makes the average person want to spit at them for their sheer gall. Yes! THEY GET SOME FUCKING SICK FUCKS LIGHTER SENTENCES OR EVEN ‘OFF…’
But they are critical in a sane world where the law matters not just as a set of rules but also where there are people dedicated to truth, justice, and ensuring a short-lived tyrannical government cannot just throw people it doesn’t like into jail based on allegations of crimes and get convictions based on whimsy.
John adams may have helped those six get off, and done it in a manner so similar to modern law enforcement court strategy that it assaults the nose with its stench, but don’t smear him because he did that. Smear him for his presidential actions enforcing the class war.

Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•Being Trans Isn't Normal or Part of Nature...or is it...?
4·8 days agoJust let me be clear, it incenses me just as much as you, lol, but here’s the thing, run on sentences are much worse for us in the interim and we need to circle back around so that that issue becomes a lesser thing, lest we forget the true horrors of english perpetuating themselves through a normalization of nominalization that makes a trivialization of our original lines in the sand aaaaand now I’m just getting into the weeds with my niche micro-interests and brought in too many limes.
Guess it’s time to go start up that computer game I’ve been putting off.

‘Well, nanner, you got one write up, which is lower than 95% of the company, so looks like you’ll only be getting 1.5% instead of the 3% for average, and I don’t personally give out the 6% raise I’m allowed to.’ - my fucking supervisor, while other supervisors hand out everything like candy (not really, they just shower their favorite)





Maybe it was just the size of the convention center (30 foot ceilings, holy volumes of air, batman!), but that was my experience as well.
