I have been waiting so long, so so long, for this movie.

I know it’s going to be nothing like the 80s movies that I grew up watching. But sometimes a love note to a former lover is just so cathartic. Which I guess is the best I can hope for this. If it sucks, well, honestly so did the original movies on a strictly objective measure. If it’s great, then even better.

Personally, I’ve been compiling a cache of datacentric interpolations of real-world metrics used to synergistically integrate human intelligence with the intersection of science, technology, mathematics, arts, and philosophy since the moment I was born, and let me tell you, this is what I was born for.

Personally, as a US American, I find it offensive that other languages are so specific and pedantic about their foods that you can’t even call a dish “noodles” without a thirty down votes and at least one 20,000 word essay on why you’re wrong and why you’re wrong for being wrong and yet here we are, several minutes into a thread and nobody’s pointed out that this is a cheeseburger.

Also, its name would be Lucas.

I feel like by answering this I’m feeding into OPs sick and twisted furry fantasy, not that there’s anything wrong with that.

That being said, I’m also feeling lazy and pedantic, so I’m going to say human being.

Just being pragmatic here, but the answer is yes, you can hire such a person. It would be a terrible, terrible idea. As for the other options you mentioned, just don’t do it. There’s no scenario where these methods don’t traumatize survivors, bystanders, first responders, and just random people – none of whom deserve that.

I know someone who came home to his partner’s dead lifeless body after a hanging. I know someone who found their child several days after an intentional overdose. I know a truck driver who suffered life threatening injuries as a result of avoiding someone trying to end their own life.

And I only saw some of the trauma suffered by those folks, I’m sure the real trauma was far, far deeper.

Watch The Squid Game and take a shot every time someone says something in Korean.

No, it’s because money is green and money is the root of all evil so since plants have roots, plants are also green. Except for all the myriad different species and cultivars that aren’t green at all, they ain’t got no money. They ain’t got no car to take you on a date. Tthey can’t even buy you flowers.

A gallon of mayonnaise, 32 pack of Degree deodorant, and check to see if the chocolate covered peanut butter filled pretzel bites things are back in stock, please.

This is my curse, as well. Your film is set in the desert surrounding ancient Egypt. WHY ARE THERE CACTI?

This is a dream job!

I mean, nightmares are dreams, too.

I don’t know if they still have it on their site, but one of the main regional news sites used to have a section of their site devoted to posting peoples’ mugshots. It was one of their highest traffic pages/sections, too.

I found out about it after my dad jokingly mentioned that my uncle made the news and then sent me a link. It was a slideshow with hundreds of peoples’ arrest photos along with name, age, where they were arrested, and a brief description of what they were arrested for.

My uncle was on there because he was charged with “terroristic threats” or something along that line, it’s been a while. Apparently someone called the cops on him. He was drunk when they arrived and acting belligerent, granted he was always drunk and belligerent. At some point, he put his finger over his lips and shushed the cops.

The police officers claim he was doing a hand sign of a gun and that he actually pretended to shoot at them and the “shushing” was actually him blowing the smoke away from the barrel of his hand gun.

Anyway, the charges were dropped, but that arrest photo of him stayed up on that news website for a very long time after.

You gave up on Reddit because mods can ban you for random reasons unrelated to your behavior? That’s one of a small set of problems that’s literally much worse and more prevalent on Lemmy.

I was going to say the same thing. Learn from my parents (and me). These do not make great pets for kids, assuming you love your kids and your kids love their fingers.

In my part of the USA, it’s 99% european sparrows. And they shit on everything. So, in a way, that makes it easy to tell what merchandise has just been sitting around a while unsold. In any other store it would be covered in dust. But in Home Depot? It’s covered in shit. Literally.

Obfuscate obfuscate obfuscate. I’m not a 27 year old big kitty moth girl with a career in cybernautics, but from reading my comments, you’d never guess. I wasn’t born in 1977 but I was born at some point. When I say my grandpa was a Korean hooker, it was actually my uncle, but I replaced the familial relationship in the anecdote when I shared it here. Also helps to protect me from being dockered by internet drones.

Also, sometimes just throw in completely made up bullshit. Who gives a fuck about down votes? And you can actually just completely ignore all the angry buttackschually replies. For instance, did you know that there used to be a jeans brand named Yass in the United States and they had a whole ad campaign back in the 80s where the pitch line was “Kiss my Yass”? Madonna was even featured in one of their commercials for MTV.

This is why my comments are mostly tangentially related anecdotes from simpler times in my life when Picard was the one and only commander of the Star Trek and Princess Leia was the only hot chick in the Star Wars.

One of us always tells the truth, one of us always lies.

Hey boo

Yep, looks just like papaw’s pipe cleaner.

I like Linux, use(d) various flavors of it, and have had experience with / exposure to it for over 20 years. But no, I’ve never had a remotely flawless experience with it on a desktop or laptop environment. Wish I could offer more help or encouragement, but figured I’d at least chime in with some emotional support by affirming that you are not alone in that experience.

I would recommend Linux to technologically adept people (ex: tech professionals, computer science students) and only indirectly to less technically proficient people in the form of suggesting something like a Steam Deck for portable PC gaming to someone who might be interested.

But for an aging parent or my best friend’s kids? No. Sometimes I already feel like I’m a free on-call 24/7 IT support tech for friends and family, and that’s with mostly Windows and Android devices that pretty much just work the way folks expect (even if that way is broken/crumby/irritating/etc).
