Miles O'Brien

That’s fair.

I mean, the reason I have a picture should be obvious, I’m literally going for visibility with a name like this…

But 9/10 times it’s a generic name with a default or no picture.

And if you pay for Premium you get all features and zero ads

Oh hey, me too, except I would never pay for premium. I just don’t use the official front-end.

Skilled truckers

I have met truck drivers that can (and have demonstrated) back their trailer up to a cargo dock blindfolded.

I’ve met some that can navigate turning radii (radiuses? Radiens?) smaller than my old Nissan.

And then I’ve also met some that couldn’t figure out their 13ft tall trailer can’t fit under a 12ft 8 bridge…

For the most part though, in my experience truck drivers are better drivers than 97% of regular drivers.

You know, it’s always funny when sci-fi shows have doctors that refer to current year medical practices as “barbaric” or “Savage”, but honestly looking back just 50 years? Same feeling.

200 years ago, the local “doctor” will probably tell you to take a swig of the bottle he just dumped on your wound, because he’s gotta saw it off. Hopefully they at least washed it since it’s last use.

200 years from now? Eh. Doc will wave a light over it, you’ll be fine.

Unfortunately, due to different showrunners, there are a couple.

Like how Tony didn’t figure out hydra was infiltrating SHIELD when he hacked everything in Avengers 1. Probably should have figured that out.

And I know people like to say there are too many hydra people for them to not be well-known or easier to discover, but personally I don’t take issue with that.

If hydra has infiltrated key personnel, they can move whoever they want. I’d say they concentrated their forces at headquarters and on the carriers, since that was part of their big master plan. So of course there will be a lot of bags guys in the main areas and in the carriers, and it’s a testament to how few there really were that they failed. And they had sizeable resistance from non-compromised personnel.

I’ve managed to get two first round interviews, and I’m a “perfect candidate” for one and have been invited to a second interview. They dropped a surprise drug test that wasn’t mentioned at any point before, and while they won’t find any hard drugs, THC is legal in my state. So if I get past the second interview, I have to just hope they don’t care about thc.

At least if they do, I’ll have wasted their time as much as mine, and more importantly, their money on the tests.

An idle population has time to ponder why their lives are shit.

Gotta keep them working, tired, and focused on bullshit like gender definitions, or they might start getting uppity.

Lol. I wasn’t going to be paying full price for a game anyway, but now I’m not paying for gearbox games ever again.

I live in Ohio and am currently looking for work.

I’m still paying to places that say drug testing, but not places that specify thc testing.

As far as I’m concerned, it’s a legal state, and unless they have similar testing and employment rules for alcohol (which they wouldn’t be able to since it doesn’t show up two weeks later) then I should be able to smoke when I want, off the clock.

If they test and it prevents me from getting the job, I feel slightly satisfied I wasted their time and money. If they follow up and ask about it, I will tell them straight up it’s legal in this state and they’re only limiting their options by refusing to hire people who do a legal thing.

It’s probably just wasting my own time, but hey I’ve got time to waste.

Also sometimes I use a photo editor on my phone.

The crayon scribbles of my 3 year old nephew on the back of a soggy napkin holds more value than a mountain of AI slop.

Because men outclass women in almost any physical ability

I have never heard this argument come out of someone who doesn’t look like a wet noodle could outclass them in physical ability. It’s always a keyboard warrior who hasn’t cooked a meal since the Kraft Mac he made in 9th grade when his parents left him alone one evening and wouldn’t know what the inside of a gym looks like if it weren’t in GTA.

Motherfucker, I knew plenty of cis women who could easily out-class me in physical abilities and I was in the US military

The only people who care what’s in the pants of the enlisted person beside them are pieces of shit who don’t deserve to be there. Focus on your fucking job, and stop fantasizing about their crotch.

Not once did I ever wonder what a person was assigned at birth while I was in. They wouldn’t be there if they couldn’t physically do it.

Nobody is lowering qualifications of military personnel because the individual is trans.

No, surely they must mean set on fire.

im guessing some people have political reasons to dislike russia

If you consider trying to genocide a neighboring country “political reasons” I guess.

I would still say I don’t understand written German, and I certainly couldn’t understand SPOKEN German, but I understand enough to understand the memes.

So thanks for that, ich_iel!

“FTC personnel want bribes and to give the government time to kill the rule so they don’t have to do anything difficult right now”

New headline.

Honestly there’s no legitimate reason to delay this unless you’re stalling for something.

At least some nutters have the decency to say that it’s mind controlling chemicals, not the “you’ll be dead soon” kind.

Kind of like the covid vaccine. I should have been dead in 3 6 8 months a year 2 years 3 years 4 years I’ll be dead in 5 years!

I’m sure they will.

And as long as none of them try profiting off it, Nintendo has no leg to stand on with their usual C&D bullshit.

The spectacle of it would certainly boost sales for a little bit. How much and whether it covers the development time, who knows.

I’d do it on principle alone, but I’m a petty bitch.
