You’re using PTO for a death in the family?

I don’t know why but it’s so funny to me seeing Mary Poppins next to those other two movies lol

The last one of AOC looks like someone forgot to fully crop out the arm coming from out of frame. I bet she was going in for a hug.

Almost as if OP is shitposting or something

I recently started looking into more decentralized instant messengers after being on signal for a year or so. I’m happy with signal but just wanted to look into what else is out there. I really don’t get why XMPP gets left in the dust. I see so much praise for matrix, but every public group ive joined is full of spam bots and racists. Simplex is centralized. Even as far as the fediverse goes, I would’ve assumed everyone here would hype up XMPP since it works similarly with the [email protected] convention.

Good to hear. I tried to start with 1, but just can’t do with those controls.

If you’re on PC, the new Delta Force game is giving me my Battlefield fix. I think its in open beta, but once it fully releases will be on console.

I’m not comparing it to racism, you’re taking the wrong point from that. Protests aren’t supposed to make you comfortable. They are meant to disrupt, even if you are just trying to mind your own business. Not every white person in my analogy is racist or against black rights, my point was to show how dumb they would be for voicing annoyance. Climate protestors didn’t ruin your life or even your day, just like sit in protestors didn’t harm anyone else. You are just dramatic and have main character syndrome.

That must be how innocent white people felt when their meals that they paid for were interrupted by black people illegally sitting in their restaurants. The other diners weren’t to blame. Why didn’t the protesters just go after Big Restaurant and leave the law abiding diners to exercise their right to dine in peace?

If Ewe Ball can make Rampage, then there should be nothing stopping a movie like that!

Where do you go to school that the sentence, “Sorry I’m late, protests caused the traffic to come to a stop.” would force you to give up your right to have an education?

My understanding is the cup size is different because cold drinks typically have ice that gets added to the same amount of liquid.

Recognizing when people need help and support doesn’t mean you are trying to justify illegal acts. No one said stealing is ok. Just because you understand the root of the problem doesn’t mean you are giving it a pass. This is why people with mental disorders still face consequences for their actions. However, if rehabilitation is something you value, then it is important to recognize that their needs may be different than other people’s for rehabilitation to be successful. Punishment with no attempt at helping a person overcome their afflictions is just a guarantee that they will act out again.

I agree 100%. HVAC is not rocket science. As a matter of fact, I was instantly replaced after I quit. As was the guy that replaced me and so on. The point I was trying to make is that despite being viewed as a “trade”, HVAC technicians lean more towards the other user’s definition of unskilled labor. If it isn’t clear, i think the idea of unskilled labor is bullshit.

I don’t know, I only got into PC gaming about 3 years ago but my library is easily twice as large as it was when I only had consoles for about 20 years. The initial cost of getting a PC with all the peripherals is quite a bit higher than console but the games are almost always significantly cheaper. The most recent AAA games and some studios like FromSoft are usually the only games selling at $70. On console, the price of a game barely gets lowered. I have a switch and wanted to buy overcooked to play on the go and it’s still $20 dollars and has very few sales. On PC it’s hard not to find it for less than $5 and that’s not even counting key shops.

Actually it was about a week and it was other apprentices that did the majority of the training.

So installing HVAC systems is unskilled work? I didn’t have any prior experience or education when I got a job doing that.

This can be said about almost any article that claims people type a specific word into a search engine after someone says it. There were a lot of articles about people looking up jury nullification after Luigi was arrested. Or people looking up the word tariff after trump said it. It’s just a quick way to find more information about the specific instance the word was used in. I didn’t search the term tariff because I didn’t know what it was, i searched it because I wanted to know what trump and his supporters thought it was.

Could US schools have these? Yes. Do the politicians and police in charge care enough? Fuck no.
