  • At least she can pass the bar. Remember Boebert had to go back and get her GED in her thirties for some reason before the 2020 election. Getting a GED doesnt tell your constituents you are intelligent, so I'm not sure why she didnt just skip it.

    For non-U.S. people, a GED is what you get if you didn't pass highschool (secondary school)

  • Why not? If they are a position that answers directly to the CEO who govorns a department named Human Resources. I personally think they shouldn't report to the CEO, but they do in most companies. I think the head of HR and the CEO should both report to the board, but that's not how it usually works

  • Usually I agree with this sentiment but that gets dicey as if you store your work on a cloud service, they don't own the work, the company/person who made it does. They are just parking the vehicle they own in a rented garage. In this scenario you're saying you are renting a license to access it I suppose. Which would mean we are renting our driver's licenses per se, which is true I guess.

    *Where the fuck did my brain go with that metaphor

  • Could someone not call them the Secretary of Human Resources and it also be accurate by meaning? I think somehow we have degraded the term secretary through sexism. Secretary of State, Treasury, Defense are all some of the "highest" roles in our country yet we hear secretary and apparently it has a stigma from this context

  • Then you have someone give their partner head and no one can tell which kind of herpes they have without tests, because as far as I know they supposedly present the same.

  • Meh, I think I like the idea of 1 truck pulling up to a docking bay, them all driving out the back and hopping on the mostly empty cars in slow times that are already going to the subway platforms where the deliveries need to go. It's either that or having to go through every subway entry point to drop them off. I think this will get flack because people are anti automation, but if it was people pushing carts to restock them manually I would still prefer them all getting in one vehicle to the subway and all getting on there and hopping off 1 at each stop. The product is all coming from one source, so why have 43 routes from place to sub station and then 43 routes back. If it is actually busy enough that it is holding up entry somewhere, having it in one location and streamlining it sounds nicer as well. It's not like the people can bring carts through turnstyles anyways, so they are already entering through a designated entry if the 7-11's are on the platforms. (They might not be, they could be elsewhere, but the article says downstairs).

  • I assume because a good portion of our society wouldn't believe someone would sexually assault someone who they didn't find attractive. Hell, some may even not care if they did sexually assault someone they didn't find attractive, they'd call them lucky. Like some do with men. So unfortunately. Her being attractive gives more believability to the population they are trying to reach.

    Note Trump's lawyers used the defense that "she isn't my type" in his last sexual assault case. And then mistook that same woman's looks with his ex wife. Unfortunately it's bad people all around

  • They aren't deep beliefs, in my experience many of them are all newly learned beliefs that they would flop on had the media not been telling them it was okay. All we saw was how easy it is to influence our society by sowing hate. Many of the people who voted for Obama and gay marriage now are racist and hate gays. If the beliefs were deep, they wouldnt have flopped.

  • Maybe this is what you may like? This was from the Piefed settings

    It appears there is a setting where you can only get private messages from your instance, or trusted instances if that is appealing

  • What do you mean, like the notifications or no direct messaging at all? Also if it isn't available here, you could verify if it is available on Piefed, which would just have you accessing the same content from another client. Aka you would still see your comments here, but if that feature is important to you maybe they have it or are building it. I don't know much about the project other than users mentioning some features they were looking for existed there. (And some instances on Lemmy are building instances there)

  • Kind of. Waymo is around which is much better. Mercedes Benz is German with some manufacturing here in the states but got approval for Autonomous level 3. Ford and GM have BlueCruise and SuperCruise which they were keeping at level 2, and testing level 3 without showing much info to the public from what I have seen. They are old established companies, when they launch level 3, id expect it to work way better than Teslas current performance. I imagine they want to work out the few kinks Waymo has and ensure the don't end up with mass recalls/lawsuits. Chrysler/Dodge/Jeep has announced their level 3 but is also not sending it to market yet. Once again an established company that knows the pitfalls of almost going bankrupt if I remember. I'd say Waymo sits between level 4 & 5. It can and does drive without a driver through cities/highways all day long, but there have been incidents where they have trouble "settling down" for the night if you will. Like a portion should return to a remote parking area ideally (the lots are to close now in my opinion) when business is slower and all park in spots and just sit until demand starts to increase again, slowly feeding more vehicles to taxi the people only when needed. BUTT there have been incidents where 10 of them pull into the parking lot and they all get cautious about hitting each other when attempting to park anf they were originally designed to wait for the other vehicle to park assuming it has a person driving, yet they are all autonomous so they wait on each other and in a notable incident in the past they were all honking at each other trying to get the others to just pull in first which as you can imagine cars honking at each other in the middle of the night will piss people off. That said I'm sure theybe fixed that by now, but Id want proof it could go on ANY road and park anywhere before calling it a full level 5.

    I've only been in 2 Waymos, both in Tempe, AZ last March/April and all was fine. Once because I got drunk the night before I was going to fly out, so I called one to pick me up and see what it was like, and once the next morning to go get my rental car so I could return to the airport and fly home. The ride to get the car was flawless. The ride home from the bar was near flawless. 9/10 I'd say. The only complaint I would have had is when it pulled into the hotel there were cars in the drop off covered area by the front doors and the car decided to take it carefully at about 4 mph for the last 150 feet do to foot traffic and unpredictable cars pulling out and loading baggage. So if I was driving I would have went a bit quicker, but it being extra safe around pedestrians isn't a big flaw in my book.

  • It varies. I've found I can find cheaper prices on stuff online and the I just call a local dealer and ask what their fee is. I paid $20 last time. Now if you have any felony arrest or drug related charges you are definitely better off going to a gun show or buying from a private seller in most states. Because if you order a gun online and fail the background check in person when picking up I don't know what happenens to the gun at that point. I've never tried to return one.

  • I declare fisty cuffs! Yeah think it came out right after. R existed though right?

  • Dismember, kill, and spill blood everywhere - Jaws, rated PG (Not even pg13).

    Say fuck twice in 2 hours - R

  • This is one of those times you are hoping someone put Nair in the conditioner. It's rare to yearn for, but that little guy needs the help

  • Then what's a new guinea, and why does everyone talk about their father?

  • When youve got MAGA supporters asking for a sex offender (Matt Gaetz) to investigate a sex offender's ties to a sex offender... It really makes you wonder what they support. After all they were perfectly fine NOT charging Gaetz with paying to transport minors to other states for sex. They decided, well he resigned from a position so that's good enough, we'll find a new one as soon as we can.
