The snail has their eyes at the ends of their stalks.

I do pity them. I long for a world in which such hoarding, deleterious tendencies were treated as the mental health crisis they are, and that such a thing were made impossible to occur.

I still think well-regulated militias should be a pre-requisite for owning firearms, at least as far as compliance with the 2A. Like have them be registered and require at least biannual training and ammo inventories, and there you go, easy. But something at least.

Something’s uncanny about Putin here, is this a body double, AI, a much older photo, or has he had some work done recently?

It’s ok, the universe is expanding faster than the Milky Way can be attracted.

I think it might be a good idea to tax loans like this as income, but I’m not an economist and am not sure what the follow on effects would be. I feel like if there were exceptions it might be used as a loophole, but if there aren’t it might affect poorer people trying to get loans for housing.

We refrigerate our onions, really cuts down on the crying.

I know it’s a shit post, but the street sign had to be right there or he’s looking at a map, otherwise how does the guy know it’s Eucalyptus St?

Brick Top: You’re always gonna have problems lifting a body in one piece. Apparently the best thing to do is cut up a corpse into six pieces and pile it all together.

Sol: Would someone mind telling me, who are ya?

Brick Top: And when you got your six pieces, you gotta get rid of them, because it’s no good leaving it in the deep freeze for your mum to discover, now is it? Then I hear the best thing to do is feed them to pigs. You got to starve the pigs for a few days, then the sight of a chopped-up body will look like curry to a pisshead. You gotta shave the heads of your victims, and pull the teeth out for the sake of the piggies’ digestion. You could do this afterwards, of course, but you don’t want to go sievin’ through pig shit, now do you? They will go through bone like butter. You need at least sixteen pigs to finish the job in one sitting, so be wary of any man who keeps a pig farm. They will go through a body that weighs 200 pounds in about eight minutes. That means that a single pig can consume two pounds of uncooked flesh every minute. Hence the expression, “as greedy as a pig”.

I’m not sure if Lemmy does tables the same way and hope that renders correctly, but I’ve borrowed some possible non-euphemism PIE reconstructions for how it might’ve gone, and I have to say my favorite would be “rought” pronounced /ɹʌft/. But I could also see “orough” turning into “owo” which amuses me greatly.

yay

While the other commenter’s post seems valid, an alternative that worked for me was: 1) acquire wife, 2) give her the support and freedom in your personal journeys to become witches together, then (optional) 3) make spooky noises together.

They’re all Military/Intelligence related.

I’ve never thought to wonder why that happens, and that explains why I get those more often than my spouse (my canines are huge, especially relative to theirs).

There are a lot of binary packages in Gentoo, for the bigger packages (like LibreOffice), plus you can just use a binary repo if you want. I’ve been on Gentoo a while now, it’s pretty fun and I like all the customization even though I know the relatively minor efficiencies don’t make up for the compile times lol.

The phone running FuriOS seems neat.

I thought it was analogous to the DSA’s use of the rose as a general socialist symbol. The wilting is poignant in that context.

Most of the expense/time (proportionately) is the Navy patrolling the various trade corridors and oceans with near routine exercises/drills from nearby nations against it, preventing disruptions and theoretically enabling the dying/dead “Pax Americana,” ultimately for US capital’s benefit (in tangent with the stability of the US dollar as the former de facto reserve currency). It’s the real reason the US is content with spending all the money on the military, not just a projection of power but a real return on investment (even more so now that taxes are getting more and more regressive and corps pay less than ever). The murder is almost secondary when it comes to that, a petty demonstration of what they’re capable of. Pretty gross tbh.

It depends. You can generally choose a career field to specify in your contract, and you’re not directly shooting people for the vast majority of career fields. That’s not to say your actions won’t support killing people in some way, most career fields are there to support the ones that do, but there’s ones in cybersecurity for instance whose goal is generally more aligned to providing support to other nations or industries that might’ve been hacked. Outside of general areas though, it’s not like the mission is decided by anyone other than the U.S. President or Congress (or continuing obligations from prior agreements).
