I posted on Lemmy about needing recommendations for movies to watch on shrooms....and then minutes later stumble across this article.

Talk about perfect timing, lol.

This is really starting to feel like a perfect replacement for that...other website.

I had a 7 year old girl brought to the hospital I worked out of at the time, while I was employed as a crisis intervention worker.

Flipping out, screaming, punching, kicking, biting, as they try to secure her on the stretcher. She kicks her mother in the face in the process, bad bloody nose, possibly broken, blood starts pouring out, 7 year old starts giggling and pointing at her mother as this happens.

Ya got me what the answer is to these situations.

A lot of the people that drive these things are acting like children in adult bodies. I have seen some wildly dumb shit happen. It's like the car company created by the Darwin Awards...

I literally once saw someone eating on a little folding table/desk of some sort in their Tesla (driver seat, of course) with the dash screen playing some sort of media.

Another time, the person was playing a handheld gaming console of some sort, in the driver seat.

An the automatic lane switching doesn't adjust for people speeding up in the passing lane well. I've seen a couple near accidents there.

I could not believe that when I read it.

Pathetic, not even capable of accepting responsibility for his own actions.

I would imagine he will not be apologizing to the family either.

I'm more concerned about this loser parent going around stalking 16 year olds being 16 year olds.

This whole story certainly inspires one to despise technology, however.

The fact that some people are ok with, "subscriptions taking off" in this very post is troubling.

The future, where you own nothing, pay a subscription for everything.

I remember reading about, "pod hotels" in Akiharbara, "Electric Town", Japan in the late 90s or early 2000s. I recall them being marketed as a cheap way to see the neighborhood. Even back then, Akiharbara was the global epicenter of anime/manga, retro gaming, arcades, computer stores and repair shops.

Glad to see the concept has now evolved to, "dystopian hell" some 20 years later.

What a sad death of such an iconic service.

Growing up in the 1990s hardcore/punk scene(s), myself and friends took Greyhounds everywhere. As did a lot of homeless punk kids back then. For friends I knew that were being physically and/or sexually abused, Greyhound was their only way out.

A lot of memories there.

Reagan ended federal funding for state psychiatric institutions and then was almost assassinated by a schizophrenic. Didn't change his mind after that though, why?

Because the man was an idiot.

Such a strange thing to make a stand against, especially from the punk scene haircuts I remember back in the 80s, 90s. This isn't even super noticeable, comparatively.

Gee, wonder what the real issue is here....

At this point, I just accept the fact that there are only so many variations of human beings. Therefore, every country has their own version of Donald Trump (unfortunately).

I'm just a random person in the world, so my opinion doesn't mean much in the grand scheme of things.....but I have never found Trevor Noah even slightly funny my entire life.

I feel bad saying that, because he seems like a genuine, sincere person from what I have read and watched, but his delivery on the Daily Show just comes across as bland/flat to me, I stopped watching maybe 1 year into his tenure.

It is very nice to see Mozilla doing quite useful/helpful projects from time to time.

I have ran GNU/Linux since the early 1990s. Practically since it first existed. Distributions like MuLinux, Yellowdog Linux, Slackware, Debian, etc. This generally has lead to multiple difficulties. Sometimes I had to dual boot to get around said difficulties. Around 2010, I got good enough with WINE, software work arounds and alternatives that I didn't need to dual boot anymore. I did like to play various games still back then, but around 2010 Valve's GNU/Linux support was improving (unless my memory deceives me)

This post has made me feel that for the first time, all that struggle was worth it, heh.

On a side note, there's some sort of dark irony with personal ownership dying under capitalism. I feel like the majority of us hate all these subscriptions models, but we keep playing along .vs. becoming cave hermits.

I opened this thread for Vermin Supreme comments.

I was not disappointed.

Thank you Lemmy, thank you.

I do want to own a home at some point before death, so I've cut back spending across the board. I wouldn't say I'm financially worse off, just working as many double shifts as possible (I work in healthcare, this is easy to do right now...also not a good thing) and not enjoying life at all for....3 continuous years now.

$115k needs to be your annual salary in USD to buy a home right now, supposedly, I read that somewhere (maybe CNN?) in the past 2 weeks. I make nowhere near that.

Factor in inflation on grocery prices & everything else, an mind you I shop at an Aldi's and a wholesale club, it's not a very easy time out there. Sometimes it feels like I'm saving for something totally unrealistic.

Thank you for asking this question. Because this seems like a horrible idea for that part of the world.

So, this guys' whole thing is basically, "GRRR, I'M ANGRY. FUCKOFF AND GIVE ME 6 YEARS".

Man, you sure showed that judge and everyone else by being locked up for 6 years now.

I am curious how the involved kid turns out years later, but I feel that answer is already known.

"YOU MANIACS! YOU BLEW IT UP! AH, DAMN YOU! GOD! DAMN YOU ALL TO HELL!"

I have a friend that uses Tiktok. He has never posted a video on there, just watches crap.

He went to bed one night in August and mentioned that overnight, as he slept, the Tiktok app sent/received 8.6 gbs of data as he slept, the app was closed, screen locked.

I can only imagine what the Tiktok app does if you have a son/daughter with Tiktok on their phone (whether you know or not) and work for a state/federal government.

Very unsettling.

Meanwhile he continues airstrikes against the Kurds in Northern Syria/Rojava, using the Gaza crisis as a distraction.

Whenever I hear about the attempts of these people to flee, it's hilarious.

This trio picked the most comically obvious place to, "hide" next to maybe Missouri or Mississippi, that being Desantisland...

That brother/sister duo are probably procreating together. :/

It's really sad that someone had the thought process of, "I bet we can convince people to live in these fucking things". An despite this small bump in the road, it is seemingly working.

It's disgusting how many people will leverage housing costs (especially in San Francisco) against their fellow (hu)man.

He looks like a cartoon villain, or the manifestation of the movie Office Space into reality, but not in a good way.

You're the type that gets excited every time postage stamp prices increase.

This should be an event in the Olympics.

Where does this rank on the, "George Santos scale of Jew-ish-ness"?

I have watched so many retro gaming shows on TV, YouTube, etc and never knew or heard about this. The amount of odd controllers released in Japan must be endless.

Definitely interesting to know about.

I worked crisis intervention for a few years. I have arrived to probably a dozen or so suicides. About a half dozen left these huge manifestos.

Every. Single. One. Got thrown away, 2 had family members toss it in front of me. Turns out your loved ones do not often want to read the crazy shit you killed yourself over, especially when it ultimately changed nothing. One individual had 1000+ pages written, the family wanted nothing to do with it.

I'm not pro-suicide for anything. Most of these people are just depressed. It's not resolve when you're giving up on life.

Definitely a trump poster to the right of that, you can see the edge of it.

An the former police chief is going to face zero consequences.

Throwing a pizza party over bossing around a 98 year old woman.

What the fuck is wrong with people.

Gideon Cody is a piece of shit.

This was my first magazine subscription....followed by the original Sonic the Hedgehog comic and WCW Magazine (pretty sure it was called that, black and white newspaper type print). Sad to see them go, I remember the classified ad area in the back was usually interesting/odd.

I still have 2 magazine subscriptions that are active. I used eBook readers for a few years, but eventually reverted back to physical print for nonspecific reasons.

It's nice having a monthly surprise of sorts delivered in the mail that is not a bill or from Amazon.

All valid points. Thanks for mentioning, "mortgage poor". It's amazing how many people think that's the solution to rent....when you're typically agreeing to pay, essentially rent, for 30 years.

An everyone who gets a mortgage, with rare exception, OF COURSE, believes it will be paid off well before they are anywhere near 30 years. Seemingly forgetting that health issues, social issues, weather events, etc are likely going to stop that from happening.

This post just keeps getting more bleak, lol....
