  • ICE plans to give officers gloves that can deliver painful electric shocks

    Jump

  • That was genuinely my first thought.

    I know people who unknowingly peed on an electric fence. Not fun.

  • US House to vote on bill to make daylight saving time permanent

    Jump

  • I think it's the height that's the real problem.

    Closer to the poles you are the more important it is.

  • 'You are Expected to be Clean' — Oregon Card Shop Suspends Yu-Gi-Oh Tournaments Due to Smelly Players

    Jump

  • yes, but it is can be a larger than usual problem in some groups.

    I know anime conventions in Minnesota struggled with that a lot in the 2000s. It took about half a decade of posters, campaigns, and a small group of people who were willing to be blunt and tell people "this sign is directed at you my dude"

    It all did lead to improvements though! It is vastly better than it was back then.

    Alternatively there was the MTG asscrack meme which did increase belt sales.

  • I have been voting in Minnesota since 2009, I have never been called for jury duty.

    Meanwhile I have a coworker who has been called 5 times in the same time span.

    I do not understand how this is possible.

  • After Town Bans Flock, Councilmember Crashes Out, Proposes Internet and Phone Ban

    Jump

  • And yet something tells me that if someone followed him around with a camera crew 24/7 he would be deeply concerned.

    If anything a faceless invisible entity following you should be even more horrifying.

  • Kash Patel Confirms UFC Fighters Will Train FBI Agents This Week, Calling It A “Historic Opportunity”

    Jump

  • Yeah anyone who knows anything about actual self defense fighting in my experience always pushes avoid and run more than anything else.

    Getting stabbed sucks, even if you win the fight.

  • You should know this, Scotty.

    Jump

  • Yeah, the moment they stop maintaining the warp they're no longer cheating physics to travel faster than light.

    I also gotta imagine it's a controlled process and just abruptly dropping is gonna be... harsh on the hull and crew.

  • Not only that, the only thing that makes them spooky and startling is that they randomly fly around like a dumbass towards anything light related.

    When they're just sitting still being chill they're actually quite adorable.

  • You're given $20,000 USD (or the equivalent in your local currency) to spend, but anything still left by the end of the day you lose for good. What are you spending it on?

    Jump

  • Probably dump it all into my mortgage.

    I think that would actually give me the most bang for the buck.

  • The Andrew Cuomo Campaign Is All in on MAGA Influencers

    Jump

  • Well, the rules are forcing them to run with Mamdani. Plenty of Democratic lawmakers do not like it. Cory Booker, Chuck Schumer, a lot of democratic legislators in his own state are not endorsing him. A lot of them did endorse Cuomo, if they didn't this year, they have in the past, so to be suddenly mum and not even a feeble "I support him" is... odd at best.

    There's also no word behind the scenes that any legislators are even attempting to get Cuomo to drop out after... how many years has the argument been that third parties split the democratic vote? Now you have a Democrat doing just that and no condemnation from any new York legislators that he's risking a republican victory. Not even a chant of "Blue no matter who" If bernie sanders had ran independent against Hillary, would Democratic leaders be this silent? Schumer would be furious and making press conferences condemning him. He doesn't do that to cuomo.

    In the meantime, multiple sources have been pushing mayor Adams to step down from his own independent race. Both democratic and republican (and billionaire), presumably to get more votes to cuomo.

  • Your username is now public and hereditary like a surname. How much do your kids hate you?

    Jump

  • I get lots of compliments on my username. Came up with it in the 90s and I feel like it aged well.

  • I drink with friends, I don't smoke but I do hang out in the smoking areas though.

    I wouldn't say it's unusual. Can't say there was much peer pressure to get me to start drinking. It just was an easy conversation starter. "Whatcha drinking?"

    I think it's also one of the reasons smoking starts so easily. It's a really easy conversation starter. Gotta light?

    It's not bad that the next generations are doing it less, but it does suck that they haven't been replaced with a new conversation starter.

  • Chris Cuomo mocked for response after deepfake AOC video

    Jump

  • This is what drives me nuts about his apology.

    It's not that you thought it looked like her. It did.

    It's not that you thought it sounded like her voice. It did

    It's the fact that you thought she would string together the sentence:

    Watching that sultry little temptress squeeze into a Canadian tuxedo three sizes too small with her bouncy little funbags on the screen staring at you, piercing through the core of your soul with those ocean-blue eyes that could resurrect the Führer from his grave in Argentina

    In front of a full congress to be saved in the library of congress. That is how little you think of her. That's the insult, that she's somehow dumber than MTG.

    That's the thing to apologize for.

  • hmm, something tells me that facepaint will come into style in the next 10 years...

  • Pete Buttigieg warns Democrats can't go back to status quo after President Trump

    Jump

  • That's kinda how he works.

    He's a "better politician" than the other much older politicians because he can explain the problems and blame Republicans and old politicians for the problems but ultimately his solutions are the same.

    Also he comes straight from private equity and refuses to say anything bad about them. As a matter of fact he's the first politician I have ever heard say "no". Full stop, no weaseling out of it. It was when he was asked about his prior employers and their involvement in a price fixing scandal over Canadian bread prices.

    So... yeah I don't like him

  • When a Christian Makes Contact with an Atheist

    Jump

  • I once had a study partner who was raised like that. We were scheduling our first after school study session and trying to figure out time. I shoot out sunday and he goes "nah I have church, wait don't you have church?" "nah, I'm an atheist"

    dude vanished. Three days later I notice him trying to like... hide in a hoodie towards the opposite side of the class. I walk over, worried I offended him or something. He basically tells me that he can't interact with satanists and I just go "look, if you don't wanna interact with me, don't. You don't have to hide in a corner or try to avoid me. If you wanna draw the line at just existing in the same room, ok then."

    To his credit, he did try to have a study session with me after that, but I had to end it early. The dude was so on edge, it was like he was convinced I was gonna stab him at any moment.

    Years later he contacted me to apologize out of the blue on facebook. Went completely off grid traveling the world. My guess trying to compensate for just how little he knew of it.

  • AOC's campaign office vandalized with red paint in NYC

    Jump

  • Like, the most devils advocate I can be for her vote is that she's arguing that we shouldn't take away their shield, we should take away their spear.

    To which... I still don't see the logic. Because if you can block with one hand you're free to stab with the other. If all you have is stabby implements, you got no way to deal with when they stab back.

    They'd be forced to be less aggressive, which they seem intent to be.
