Oh is it time for another final warning again?
Damn, lost a bet. I thought for sure it would be at least two weeks.
Senior Chief Petty Officer. Starfleet is in my blood, and I’ve spent my entire adult life in service to boldly going.
Keiko and Molly are my favorite humans, but Transporter Room 3 will always be my favorite.
Just don’t ask who what’s in the pattern buffer.

You go right ahead and ignore the lever, I’m sure all the people on both sets of tracks understand you not wanting to get involved since it doesn’t benefit you to pull it.
That could come later.
For now it just means reassigned to a desk somewhere not too far from MPs.
That’s unfortunate.
I do enjoy builders and management games, so I was hoping it had improved.
I’ve got my fingers crossed that they pull a No Man’s Sky and actually strive to make a playable game, but the longer it takes, the less likely it seems.
That could mean that the already content players are still happy with their game, and the vocal haters don’t have enough to hate on that doesn’t sound petty.
I say that as someone who has not played CS2 and plays 1 heavily modded… So the fuck do I know
Well I mean… I sure hope not. I personally don’t see any reason to think it’s anything other than China trying to gain support from nations that are on the fence or don’t care about them, which to be clear is not a bad thing. They’re free to pursue any relations they desire, and the other nations are free to do the same. Hopefully the politicians involved are truly working for the betterment of both countries.
That said, the person making the shady deal would clearly say “it’s not a shady deal”, and the person duped by aforementioned shady deal would obviously not want to admit being duped by said shady deal. So everyone involved has every reason to say this anyway.
In other words: a lot of words to ultimately say nothing. Much like this comment.
Hmm.
So beat them to it, and corner the EV market with affordable domestic models.
Seems like a pretty simple solution to me.
I wonder how soon all EVs will be heavily marked up in order to support politicians need for more bribe money “essential petroleum industry”, regardless of country of origin
It’s okay, you can swear here, I won’t tell mom.
glances around fuck
How long until someone says “hamas infiltrated them”?
Taking all bets, I’m giving it 24 hours!
Same energy as Quinten Tarantino refusing to answer some questions about violence in media or using the N word in movies.
It’s been asked a thousand times, you have nothing new to add to this discussion, we’re moving on.
Hey look.
It’s my shocked face.
Can you tell I’m shocked?
I’m going for “shocked”.
😐
The whole point of that was to hilight how racist people like to call someone “educated” when what they really mean is “wow you sound white”
It was mocking the exact kind of person you seem to believe I am.
I always love when cough “educated” people (usually just what they like to say when they mean “not black”) go on about how “black people don’t speak proper English!” because certain vowels can be dropped here or there, grammar shifts, the works. Most of us have heard AAE (also maybe heard it called “Ebonics” if you’re a little older) at one point or another, and likely don’t have an issue understanding what anyone is saying. A few things that skew more metaphorical or slang words might slip by but you get the gist.
That’s the point of language. Convey information. If the information is conveyed, then language has done its job. Yay language.
If anyone wants to continue saying “it’s not PROPER English” well… I have bad news for you. Neither is any other modern form of English. So many words have been borrowed, or stolen, sentence structures have changed, entire words change meaning. And that’s just in the last 100 years.
English is an amalgamation of many different root languages, and has so many borrowed words and phrases, along with nearly every other modern language, can any of them still be said to be “proper”?
When I think of the difference between “proper English” and “improper English” I’m reminded of My Fair Lady. “The rain in Spain stays mainly on the plain” Eliza vs Henry Higgins (or 'enry 'iggins if you’re feeling improper)
Look, the temporal prime directive means I shouldn’t even be talking to you.
But if I had my ship you bet your arse.
To summarize the comment you are replying to:
“astronauts dying is a price Boeing is willing to pay”
“now pay the executives their bonus because, as executives, they are better than you. They also built this country by themselves with their bare hands, without help”
It’s extremely facetious, and pointing out that Boeing doesn’t give a shit about safety or the people in space, they just want money.
If you’re upset that lemmy isn’t trying to solve this problem… Well then I can’t help you there. This isn’t a place to investigate solutions to global problems or company management issues.
If you want to have one, by all means go make one yourself! unless you turn the speed dial to Plaid, it literally can’t be worse than the shitty job the companies are currently doing.
You know that “men only want one thing and it’s fucking disgusting” meme?
For me it’s an electric Toyota Hilux. And not a new one, unless it’s one of the originals that’s been sealed away for decades.
And I’m sure all the prisoners in the US are so thankful to have such an impressive rehabilitation system to ensure they don’t commit more crimes.
Just because the “official” purpose is one thing, don’t think for a second anyone who profits from it gives a shit. From the company manager who gets a bonus to the politician they paid off.
You know, the longer we live, the more people realize that in a CAPITAL based society, the people with the CAPITAL make the rules. And if they decided “no, we DON’T have to pay the fines that poors have to” then… That’s basically become all that happens.
“hey you did an illegal and/or a fine-able offence(the fines for which were determined at a time that doesn’t reflect modern profits for companies) but since we are being told you’re have lots of money, go ahead and keep doing it but pinky promise you’ll change eventually”
Just enough of a protest to make the unimportant people think you’ve done something, but not enough to do anything of substance.
And I honestly wonder just how long it will be before “the poors” and “the unimportant people” will have enough and decide to punish companies and their leaders themselves.
Because when you already make 10,000x more than the lowest paid workers, you really need that extra income.
I mean honestly, 175 MILLION is not enough, if I don’t have at least 15 BILLION am I even a real CEO
And any talk of raising wages is unconstitutional, and communist.
And since this is the world we live in, most people proceed with that understanding.
This was not the case in 2007.
