And we had several! Not just one loony taking all the credit himself while simultaneously claiming to be three different people, including his own dad!
Methinks there was more than alcohol and omega 3 in that wine and those fish, if you know what I mean…
There was a duck at a local park that got shot by a “toy” crossbow and was walking around for a day or two slowly bleeding before someone took it to the local wildlife rescue.
I don’t understand why some people just feel the need to do things like this.
Unless the gator popped up and surprised someone having a picnic, then I understand the stab, but I still feel bad it’s just going around as a knife-based unicorn.
I saw a duck at a park once with an arrow (like, a hunting arrow rather than a toy) stuck in it. I tried to catch it to see if I could remove it; probably best that I couldn’t since those barbed arrows do more damage coming out than going in. The duck really didn’t seem bothered by it, but it was probably just trying to put on a good face.
It’s never a good idea to pull out a stabbing object, for the reason you mentioned, and the parts inside might be stemming blood flow. Even if you cut the arrow to pull it through neatly it wouldn’t make a difference unless you were at a vet clinic that specializes in birds.
I like huntin’, fishin’, farmin’, shootin’ the revenuers that try to bust my still and steal my 'shine, and I stand in solidarity with my fellow workers against the evils of capitalism.
Is that sufficiently redneck?
(I don’t actually like fishing; I think it’s boring, and I don’t like fish very much.)
I’d like to think that, but I just went to twitch to see what was up and i’ve got one “18+ 🥵🥵” in my recommends despite the only things i’ve really watched on twitch being like 24 hours of marvel snap to collect rewards in that game (i left it in a tab running in the background because why the fuck would i watch other people play something I can just play? but i wanted the in game rewards), some classic TNA (which despite the name is just wrestling) and the first iteration of watch forever (the ai generated Seinfeld).
So they’re definitely advertising it outside people explicitly looking for it.
That said i have no problem with it, if this is how people are making their bag in our capitalist hellscape, get that bag…
Ive gone actively searching for it and cannot find more than 2 at any given moment besides that one dude with the naruto pfp who is just autoplaying youtube twerk videos.
And one of them who frequently does the topless cutoff videos has already needed to up the ante by having 4 girls on screen at once.
Its not that big of a deal. There really isnt much to advertise. And its clearly not doing that well as a strategy to get viewers.
Just not true. I don’t have a twitch account and visited to see what it’s all about and it’s all over. Even if you peek inside the just chatting category it’s a huge majority of the top content
Of anything, what you state is the result of content filtering for yourself and not for everyone at large.
I watch half a dozen streamers on twitch. 4 apex legends streamers and 2 developers(all dudes because that seems somewhat relevant). I don’t browse random streams and I don’t click on anything.
Occasionally, I’ll end up watching other streamers if my guys raid someone as they sign off. But never are they raiding “boobi” streams. It’s usually other apex streamers or other devs.
The other day, home page was filled with tits and scantally clad ladies. The recommended feeds were almost all that.
So I’m not clicking on it. I’m not seeking it out. I’m not even hovering over it. But it was pushing that content hard.
Bro if I’m late, I just have to accept it. I tell my work people that I’ll be late and they’re usually fine with it as long as I say something and show up.
I know that not all work places are as understanding as this, but don’t be stupid if you’re late. You’ll still get there, just not on time.
Just this morning I was an hour late. I spend most of my weekends helping my parents a few hours away, so have a 4am alarm set for Monday mornings to get up, shower, and head to work.
Because of the Holiday, my first day of work this week was a Tuesday, so my 4am alarm didn’t go off and I got up at 5.
I got up, showered, sent a text to the team that I’d screwed up, and went to work.
Yeah, I could’ve driven 100mph on country roads and blown through a few red lights in the middle of nowhere near my parents’ place. But I also could’ve died trying that shit. Instead I just drove normal, got to work late, and it wasn’t a big deal.
I get that not everyone works in an environment where getting in late isn’t a big deal. But a lot more people do than realize it. Most workplaces can be flexible, and will be when it matters. If they’re assholes about it when they don’t need to be - look for somewhere better.
Don’t laugh … it’s a really bad day when your car/truck decides to run …but the cab heater has stopped working … on a really cold day at minus 10 to 20 degrees Celsius (+14F to -4F in American) … your windshield basically becomes a frosty block of ice that will clear up for a minute after you scrape it before it forms a new layer of frost again.
I drove around for a week continually scraping the windshield to drive around town one winter a few years because of this. And if you are unlucky, police will stop you, ticket you and tell you to tow your vehicle home.
I usually use deicer liquid in spray form directly on the windshield. The ice becomes mushy in like 5 seconds and I just have to wipe it off. But yeah, it’s only -5 to 0 here, so maybe it’s not very effective where you are.
The rain-x with the de-icer is my go to here in Colorado too. The other bad winter habit that makes me furious is people not brushing the snow off the roof. I mean come on people are you actively trying to cause an accident when that shit goes flying off?
And if you are unlucky, police will stop you, ticket you and tell you to tow your vehicle home.
That’s actually if you’re lucky my dude.
If you’re really really unlucky then you slam your truck into a minivan full of kids on their way to school and kill them all because you decided to drive through a layer of Vaseline ice on your windshield and endanger everyone else around you.
True … if you decide to head out on a busy roadway or highway … when I had the problem with my windshield, I was just moving over block to block to get to where I had to be in my neighbourhood. I do remember one friend who was coming up from Toronto in February who lost his heating midway through on his way to Timmins and he said it was absolutely scary to decide to drive on a northern highway with a windshield like that.
You’re right, it is an absolutely dangerous thing to do in the wintertime and I’d never attempt it on a major roadway if I had the choice.
TBF Zoomers and Alphas look to be inheriting that tech illiteracy
To me it seems that the most effective regulations are to ban the use of black box algorithms in content presentation, create a tiered list of required security standards to be licensed to handle different kinds of sensitive information, nationalize the telecom lines and force all them to share those lines and compete equally in all markets except if they’re a municipal telecom, require social networks to federate via a unified social networking protocol to break the monopoly of “it’s where my friends are”, require multi factor authentication to prevent mass botting, and to require services above a certain number of active users to provide an ad-free version for an equal value to the average advertising profit per user.

It’s because GenZ/Alpha has grown up in a world where technology just works. They’ve never had to troubleshoot drivers, or reinstall their OS after improperly shutting their computer down. Plus 90% of their tech use is on mobile, which is constantly in the annual update cycle and constantly backed up to the cloud. So if the tech ever stops working, they can just replace it with the newest model, sync their new phone to the cloud, and it’s as if they never had any issues.
And this isn’t a bad thing. But it means that they’ve never had to develop those troubleshooting skills.
Zealotry convinced me to go vegan. After a few months on r/vegancirclejerk listening to them make fun of carnist rationalisations, I realised I really didn’t have an excuse for eating meat.
I expect you not to pay people to kill innocents, regardless of the intelligence of the victim, because I do not believe in fascist arguments that the less capable are less deserving of decent treatment.
