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.

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.

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?

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.

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

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…

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.

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.

I’ve been on an acan, zoa, acro phase this year. Last year it was cyphastreas, montis, pretty much any encrusting.

Corals.

Specifically reef keeping. I will spend hours browsing coral on aquarium sites, looking to find the perfect one for my tank.
