I did say acid trip, and I wasn't being facetious. It's the Ron Hubbard signature

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned Battlefield Earth (2000).

What started as a scientology passion project for John Travolta turned into the best comedy since blazing saddles imo. I feel like it's a timey wimey sequel to Idiocracy in spirit. The Travolta cyclo trying to bribe man animals with their favorite food (raw rat), thousand year old military equipment working flawlessly with no maintainence, thinking standard gold ingots and gold ore are basically the same, it's a whole acid trip condensed into whatever the runtime happens to be. It's a fuckin riot as long as you go into the experience expecting a comedy.

You want the Outer Wilds. NOT Outer Worlds. That's Bethesda trash.

Six months at home vacation and then six months curfew. For trying to kill a man.

Hang the cop, crucify his lawyer, and set the judge on fire.

Im suggesting that police will find the evidence that best fits the narrative they're trying to portray. If the phone helps their case, sure. If it doesn't, or contains evidence to the contrary, there's a decent chance it'll get "accidentally" misplaced if it's even collected at all. They're out to prove your guilt, not suggest your innocence.

Does the defense attorney go out to the scene, conduct interviews, photograph items of interest, or secure custody of any evidence gathered?

It's the police that decide what is "evidence" and attorneys argue over what they found later. A good attorney might go out and look for some of those things after the fact, but the vast majority will not. You either gather your own evidence or roll the dice with the police actually doing their jobs.

Well no, because all those phone records show is that someone was using your phone at your house during x times to watch videos. There is no verification that it's actually you. Now, if we actually had face tracking technology to see whether or not you're actually watching ads, that could change. But as for right now, no.

The fuck he didn't. Look up Biden back in 2001 and 2002 on the senate floor screaming about how Iraq had nukes totally frfr pinky sware on me mum. That fucking clown couldn't gobble dick cheney's balls fast enough.

I've been running my own garden for three years now on a community plot. I don't ask anyone to work for me, and I don't pay anyone. I pick what I want and everyone else does the same. Sometimes they help, sometimes they don't. It doesn't change anything for me.

I can't fix your busted local economy for you. I do know that paying $30/hr will get a lot of people out doing something they don't necessarily like, even if they have to drive for it. Even in a place with ridiculous cost of living like California.

I knew guys who left their house at 1 in the morning to be 120 miles away for the start of work at 4. I asked one of them why they did it. They said "Where we live, you either go out and get a real job, or you work in the fields". It's not even about the money. It's mostly about the benefits. How many farmers offer medical, paid holiday, or sick pay?

These guys worked 10s and 12s every day. They work hard, and they want that work to mean more for them than someone else's profit. That's ALL you are offering.

You're not gaslighting anyone into thinking $17 an hour is worth much of anything. What the fuck does "some farmers have tried raising the pay to attract more workers, it rarely works" mean?? Oh no, farms are paying more, better not work there. Are you retarded? You don't see rednecks passing up oilfield work because it's out in the middle of nowhere. Couldn't possibly have anything to do with the six figure paychecks those jobs have. Nope. Hell, I bet if you dropped their pay to $17 an hour, every roughneck in the field would sprint as fast as they could over to thank you personally. What a fuckin genius idea.

 

I'm sorry to post again. I tried finding a "lastimages" lemmy but I couldn't.

Bear was laid to rest at 10:50am 16th of September 2024. I had him for 15 and a half beautiful years. We went for walks just about every day and he was the king of his block. Neighbors and friends come and go but my stinky man was always finding something to smell in the next bush. Even when the weather was against him, he could always sneak around and find something new stuck to grandma's shoes.

He loved nothing more than salmon, PINK salmon (none of that red or smoked nonsese), and so he ate pink salmon every day he could. His kibbles were never empty for long and the house just wasnt right if he didn't have at least 3 different glasses to drink from at any time. Though we bought him beds and blankets enough to supply a small army, he loved sleeping on news paper more than anything else. Something about inconveniencing the humans by weight of his sheer existence I'm sure.

We bothered him constantly his last two days, making him absolutely sick of us. We pet and loved him every moment of these last two days, and I held him sleeping on my chest for hours this morning. I don't think he could possibly have been more fed up with our emotional human nonsense if we'd tried. But I stayed with him every last second, and the last thing he could see when his eyes dilated was me.

I will never stop loving my boy.

Pretty sure I'm going to have to put my beautiful baby boy to rest on Monday. He's been getting very lethargic and lost his appetite. Spent 48 hours at the vet and he was treated for pancreatitis, kidney disease, and now we find heart failure. He's back home with all the meds he could need and he's comfortable.

He's my 17 year old very special boy. We've been extremely lucky with only 2 minor health issues that needed vet care and otherwise normal visits with clean bills of health. He's always been very strong (if very picky when it comes to eating) and he's been with me through the death of my mother and father.

Im honestly feeling pretty lost right now, but every time I look at him I can't help but feel it's time. He's got the best chance the vet can give him, but I still don't want to watch him suffer.

I really don't have much faith, but if you do, please pray for Bear.

Edit: Bear was laid to rest at 10:50am. It was extremely fast and he was so out of it he barely felt a thing. His suffering is over and so mine begins.

Spotify just changed their TOS, giving them unprecedented rights to create "derivative works" from audiobooks

They frame it as though it's for user content, more likely it's to train AI, but in fact it gives them the right to do almost anything they want - up to (but not including) stealing the content outright.
