What would you do if there was a zombie apocalypse coming and you had 2 days to prepare?

Walking on the bottom of a deep body of water can make them get stuck very easily, whether in rocks or random junk. They may also have trouble getting back to the surface if they don't know how to swim

If Lockpicking Lawyer taught me anything, is to bring a magnet when stealing guns from cops

Time to go over my credit card limit buying shit for my home, mainly food and water. I wonder how long would electricity keep running.

At least I can pick zombie type, so only slow walkers like in the original Resident Evi or in Project Zomboid.

What's the wrongest thing a teacher ever told you?

Brazilian here - once had an english teacher call xadrez, the chess game, "checkers" (to be fair to her, "xadrez" could mean either the game or a checkered texture, but the game of checkers is what we call "damas"). She also called bolinhos (muffins) doughnuts (or "dou-go-nu-ty", as she spoke), and rosquinhas (doughnuts) muffins. I called out that she got the two mixed up, she ignored me.

She was a terrible teacher. She even forgot to put the correct text for an exam once, I asked her about the text during the exam and she just said "if you read it, you'll find (the answers)" - it took another kid bringing the same point for her to bother reading the exam she prepared and realizing she fucked up.

Can't you assassinate them instead? Success and failure both greatly reduce relations to boot

@lemmy.world How do you deal with feeling you haven't done enough with your life?

Strangely enough, once I started giving drawing classes to kids last year as a volunteer, I no longer felt like my life had been pointless. It felt like I finally did something that would mean something. I was invited to give 1 or 2 classes only, as a test to see if I'd like it. Turns out I did like it way more than I could've imagined, as a I never fancied myself as a teacher. Apparently, the kids loved it, too. Not needing to fill out forms, reports and whatever bureaucracy teachers have to deal with also helps me look forward to this year's classes.

So, my take is that you should definitely try something different in your life, preferably something that puts you in face-to-face contact with other people

What are some awkward differences that would happen if an episode (pick an episode, any episode) of a medical drama or police drama took place in the legal environment where you live?

Not directly related to the question, but Brazilian medical drama is nurses fighting to keep shit up and running on hospitals while medics clock in then head off to their particular clinics.

Brazil also still has separate military and civil polices, the former doing the legwork and shooting people, the latter doing actual investigations, so any USA-like police drama just wouldn't work here.

Developers didn't have access to mountains of open source code, online tutorials and stack overflow back then either. Compilers, like Turbo C, also used to be paid products.
