People think they are paying the IRS in ITunes gift cards, or the bail bondsman takes Google Play credits over the phone.

Corkyskog ,

I have never seen proof that these cars are sold at a loss. I did read an article how they got giant grants to Kickstart their battery tech and production. So maybe someone is doing some weird back accounting for that?

If someone does have a source of each individual vehicle being subsidized, I would love to see it.

Corkyskog ,

Probably fraud? It's movie prop money, which is distinguishable as not real. I would be surprised if a homeless person wouldn't realize themselves.

‘Total outrage’: White House condemns Israeli settlers’ attack on Gaza aid trucks ( www.theguardian.com )

Video of the incident on Monday at Tarqumiya checkpoint, west of Hebron in the Israeli-occupied West Bank, showed settlers blocking the trucks and throwing boxes of much-needed supplies on the ground. Photographs from the scene showed piles of damaged aid packages and drifts of rice and flour across the road....

Corkyskog ,

Better then the recent videos of them burning Olive trees.

Corkyskog ,

Isn't the precedent that time has never gone in reverse, and is unexpected to ever.

Corkyskog ,

I have come accross what many would consider big time online drug dealers who have little to no opsec... so you may be surprised. People are openly advertising meth on discord ffs.

Corkyskog ,

It's more of "I am too poor to understand this concept"

Corkyskog ,

Just turn on the tele. In Europe there is a shocking amount of nudity to an American, and in America there is a disturbing amount of violence to a European.

Corkyskog ,

My point is, you don't even need to look up the stats to see that it is true, just turn on the TV. Entertainment and media is a reflection of culture.

Local governments struggle to distribute their share of billions from opioid settlements ( apnews.com )

Settlement money to help stem the decades-long opioid addiction and overdose epidemic is rolling out to small towns and big cities across the U.S., but advocates worry that chunks of it may be used in ways that don’t make a dent in the crisis. ...

Ibogaine removes the root desire to use, Naltrexone just removes the euphoria that the drugs provide. You can condition a patient to not desire certain drugs with Naltrexone, but the patient needs to already be committed to the treatment plan. Ibogaine can be effective with just one use.

Corkyskog ,

It certainly can be, but it's a strong dissociative (think hallunicanagen, but darker and less visual). Most people don't find the experience pleasant in the moment, although there tends to be high satisfaction with efficacy afterward...

Corkyskog ,

Aren't wars fought by both sides? This seems like something other than "war"

Corkyskog ,

There is a big protest that originated on Tiktok called block party, where everyone blocks all the celebrities. Kim n them already lost millions of followers on Instagram, Tiktok, etc.

Corkyskog ,

From tiktok streams and videos, a lot are fleeing north, against the advisement of the Israeli government/IDF.

You could always resign!

It's not just a story, it's a gag he has done multiple times. There's at least two coworkers in another era of his life who claimed he pulled the same prank (or whatever you call that)

Corkyskog ,

Just send letters en masses to smaller players who can't afford lawyers. Use those payments to hire lawyers to go after influencers and the next rung up... Use those payouts to hire even more lawyers, etc

Corkyskog ,

Small trucks > big trucks anyday. Give me a 4 cylinder Frontier and I can do most of anything anyway.

Corkyskog ,

I assume you know about his coca cola pube joke/gag?

Corkyskog ,

It's not a one off either. There are at least two other instances where coworkers claim he pulled this gag. It's just entirely bizarre lol

Criticizing Israel? Nonprofit Media Could Lose Tax-Exempt Status Without Due Process ( theintercept.com )

It doesn’t take much to be accused of supporting terrorism these days. And that doesn’t just go for student activists. In recent months, dozens of lawmakers and public officials have, without evidence, insinuated that U.S. news outlets provide material support for Hamas. Some even issued thinly veiled threats to prosecute...

Corkyskog ,

Generally tends to happen when it gets co-opted by the far reich.

I assume there is like no cloud penetrative? We have light clouds and fog all week and that sucks.

Corkyskog ,

What's the tariffs? I tried to Google it, but I only got served a bunch of ads for phones.

I know nothing about Ohio specifically, but some Republicans in state legislature aren't completely brain dead or MAGA.

I am going to hop onto my soap box for a minute and say if we want high quality US politicians, we need to better compensate State legislature roles. In Ohio they make 68k, which isn't great, but maybe liveable in Ohio. Looking up CT as a random example, they just bumped the pay from 28k to 40k two years ago and their staffers still earn 2 to 3x their pay.

That's ridiculous. It means only rich people or people funded by rich people can afford to run for state legislature. This doesn't even get into local politics where selectman can earn like 12k yearly... if we want more normal down to earth politicians, we need to fund this shit better.

Corkyskog ,

Is this essentially a piper cub or something entirely different?

Corkyskog ,

I mean isn't what they are doing? Settlers isn't a positive or even a neutral term. It has always meant displacing people, usually through genocide.

Israel is colonizing.

Gasses from the sea floor

It's kind of crazy to me how what felt like yesterday they were like oh yeah, let's see how bad dredging is? Oh it's the equivalent of the aviation industry...

We have had very smart people working on climate change models for decades and no one ever looked into that? Or has dredging increased so much recently that it was barely a factor before?

Study reveals "widespread, bipartisan aversion" to neighbors owning AR-15 rifles ( www.psypost.org )

A recent study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences reveals that across all political and social groups in the United States, there is a strong preference against living near AR-15 rifle owners and neighbors who store guns outside of locked safes. This surprising consensus suggests that when it...

Corkyskog ,

It's fine, everyone I didn't want to have a gun already has a gun. You're more likely to be shot by a handgun anyway. My neighbor doesn't need an AR-15, just one shot with one of his dozen hunting rifles, a few of them basically functionally the same as an AR pattern.

The company's get hit hard by unplanned vacancies. It won't take them down, but it can cost them buckets of money in either expenses, lost revenue or both. The thing is, the people that left will never know that, there coworkers will never see it, only people in finance and budget will know how to quantify the impact.

The simple protest that will eventually end this is to smash urinals. Once businesses get fed up replacing them all bathrooms will become stall only. Then it truly doesn't matter which bathroom anyone goes into.

Corkyskog ,

True, but bricks and rocks are easier to come by.

Corkyskog ,

I don't answer any call that's not in my phone from anywhere that's not in my work region of like a third of the country and my own area code. Most scams for me are either my area code or come out or California for some reason.

Corkyskog ,

You could always drink a Gin Panic.

Recipe:

  • Pour an amount of Gin into a large lager glass
  • Add a tablespoon of instant coffee to the Gin and stir vigorously
  • Fill the rest of the glass up with a Monster (What flavor? It doesn't matter, your not drinking this for flavor. This whole recipe went sideways the moment you picked up that coffee)

Voila, Cheers!

Disney has Hulu, and that's enough for some people.

Corkyskog ,

I knew a handful of Jewish students who did Birthright when they were in college. There was always two reactions when they returned "Wow that was awesome!" Or "Wow, that was some bizarre shit". Seems like nearly half the people would come back very radicalized. Literally had a suite mate who went there who previously had no opinion of Palestinians that went to "all Palestinians should be removed"

Corkyskog ,

They don't even send back the garbage pieces, just restock if they get returned

Corkyskog ,

Let's be real. He would only accept a ceasefire if the terms of the ceasefire is he can never go to jail for corruption.

Corkyskog ,

There is no situation, she is falling on her face because even farmers don't shoot their animals anymore, let alone their dogs. If you have a big farm, you pay the vet so much money that they will do euthanasia for free. And if you just have a handful of animals, it's like $20 or $30. They do this as a service so assholes don't do messy/inhumane executions.

Corkyskog ,

Oh. I just thought that's how things worked. You hire a consultant and pay them a bunch of money to tell you to do something that half of every current employee is already telling you to do, that you're definitely not going to do anyway, then you vehemently disagree with the consultants.

Is that not the consulting process?

Corkyskog ,

Not directed at your comment, but also... Making abortion illegal is just as asinine as making suicide illegal. The only thing it does is cause more harm to those already in a bad situation. No one is forcing abortion on people. The opposite of pro life is not pro choice, it's mandatory abortions for all...

Corkyskog ,

I am fairly confident it must be made from unicorn blood and the glandular excretions from the lochness monster.

Corkyskog ,

I guess one good reason to have wasted money my PS5 lol

Corkyskog ,

Honestly, clearly age is just a number. Jimmy Carter should have run for a second term... 99, 81 what's the difference really? As long as they surround themselves with the right people.

Politics is ridiculous

Corkyskog ,

It's something that has existed for decades, possibly close to a century now? It typically includes two small plates, two white mouth wine glasses, two spoons, forks and knives, space for a wine bottle with a way to keep it chilled, food and usually some space for napkins and such.

Just checked and Amazon does indeed sell them, some are pretty fancy haha.

Corkyskog ,

Yeah, but they still were below what the market would bear price wise. Until the very last price increases, if you counted up all of the biggest service fees, it was still lower than the average cable bill like almost a decade before.
