Yea that's I've seen a few with the classic low quality of cctv and it's gnarly. Saw someone get splated under the rear of a forklift. She was being counter weight cause they were lifting too heavy of a load and the other person that was also a counter weight got off causing the forklift to start slanting, she tried holding on, got lifted and then fell and slid under the forklift as it came back down after dropping the load. Not pretty.

Lul I've had to enlighten people on that last point of yours. Me not dressing punk doesn't mean I'm not, it just means you won't see it coming when I throw a brick through your window cause I look normal in khaki shorts.

Love you too, hope you have a lovely day.

The only thing stopping me is stupid vanguard for league. I'm close to just getting a clean league only mini pc and having my main one be Linux. I'll have to check out bazzite. I play the usual minecraft, terraria, ff14, indie games mostly so hopefully they run fine. I don't think I've played a AAA game in like 7 years.

Someone mentioned it down the thread but I say non committal stuff like 'I'll have to sit on it' 'it be that way sometimes' 'that's interesting' 'I don't know much about that' 'not sure to be honest' 'oh yea?' 'I hear ya' 'if it makes them happy' 'that's how some people like it' 'I haven't looked into it' 'I haven't considered it' 'that's what I hear'

It all depends on context but I use these replies to let them know I hear them without picking a side if that makes sense. It's best to act like you aren't sure or don't know when they ask about stuff.

Here's an example from yesterday from the trump Biden debate.

They asked me if I was gonna watch and I just said I don't know maybe, I was gonna leave it at that but they kept trying to sports team for Trump and pushing me to answer what I thought about them sitting so close. I took that chance to say I don't really talk about politics at work, all the while typing away and working. That seemed to work and they took the hint and stopped.

It helps if you always act like you don't know/aren't sure about things.

Yea they would have to do their bidding if the government came knocking with subpoenas.

Might be because of our approaches?

Your's comes across as a sort of whatabout that nobody asked for and mine is just a statement of fact related to what you mentioned.

It's not inaccurate to say that the Chinese government has a tighter leash on all business in their country than the US has in theirs though.

Not all states or schools. At least my siblings and I never had to. We lived in 3 states and went do dozens of schools between the 4 of us.

Anime was bad for this too, especially the dubbed kind and one piece.

I did the same, I'm polite, helpful and pleasant to be around. I also keep everyone at arms length and am very careful with how I phrase stuff, people in the office love me and understand I won't be sharing personal stuff and I'm not interested in their personal stuff. If they wanna talk weather, TV shows or games I'm fine with that.

I was always polite and vague with how I declined their questions early on and eventually they got the hints.

I'm this for my fiancee. This weekend she stepped away for a sec while playing ff14 and I moved her a couple feet over to a safe area. Later that same day she was getting attacked while not there so I hopped on, killed the dude and then flew up in the air so it wouldn't happen again.

Might be a bit dramatic. All sectors of industry are using more and more tech, we have more people in the workforce now that are tech literate than we did decades ago.

These are random numbers to explain my point. Look at it this way, in the 90s maybe 20 percent of people knew how to use computers but 12 percent of those were truly tech savvy and knew the ins and out of using a pc.

Now a days 90 percent of people know how to use a pc (regardless of the form it presents itself, be it pc, phone, tablet, etc) but only like 30 percent of them might be truly tech savvy.

It's still a step up from back then, and because of the nature of tech in industry there's always gonna be plenty of people who know how to use pcs well and if there aren't then that's just more money for us who do know.

I had so many from just eating chips as a kid in Mexico. They still make em, my ex brought me a couple dragon ball super ones from when she went on vacation to Mexico to cheat on me.

It was a fair trade in hindsight lul. Got me a lovely fiancee now and I'm much happier.

I've said this plenty and people tend to agree with me even if their first reaction is to fight me on it, conservative women are some of the most if not the most stupid people in the US. At least conservative men have something to gain by voting the way they do, but conservative women literally vote to get their own rights taken away.

I don't even say this trying to be mean, I wish they got what they deserved and by that I mean healthcare, education and whatever social program they needed to be happy and safe. Unfortunately they constantly vote against me wanting the best for them.

Yea but at least with android you can download and install apks and find a way around stuff. Apple has their stuff locked down and they make it difficult to do that sort of stuff.

I've heard it's not uncommon for the team of the person who wrote them to buy all of them up to get it on the top list and then just gift them/chuck them or store them indefinitely.

Dude same here. I usually say stuff along the lines of 'yea it took me forever the first time to figure it out' or 'it's a common issue that a lot of people have, I'll get it sorted in a sec for you no problem'. Make it seem like they're not stupid, regardless of the truth and then fix it, keeps em happy and more willing to cooperate with you as well.

I also talk through what I'm doing and if they show interest I'll teach them so they can fix it in the future, 'ah I've seen this before, took me like a hour to figure it out on my computer, for me it was a chrome update that broke how downloaded files open. Here let me right click the file, and go to open with, we hit Adobe pdf and check the always open with this program button, that should do it let's test it out. OK seems like its good to go. Let me know if you have any more issues'. If they don't show interest then it's no problem.

Seems like he's only went back on one campaign promise so far. He's compromised on a few, he's working on a third, got stalled on a third and has kept roughly a third.

It's because it's a Japanese company. I'm not saying this out of racism but because they're known for being archaic in how they do certain things. Like game modding and work schedules. Their public transit is top fucking notch though.

I agree with you but to be fair our prison system is terrible at rehabilitation. Sure it works sometimes but it's not their main focus.

Did you read about the prison that is denying everyone in person visits so they can charge money for phone calls and video calls? They're getting a kick back from the companies whk run those systems. Fucking gross.

I figured out that I'm attracted to femeninity. What's between the legs doesn't really matter to me. My girlfriend told me that it makes me part of the community and not just an ally like I've always called myself.

Worked for luffy. The stretchy people in hero comics are usually seen as side characters who are meh, even Reid Richard's is mostly known for his intelligence over his stretchyness.

It's funny that they keep repeating to the bot that it should be Impartial but also straight up tell it exactly what to think and what conspiracies are right and how it should answer to all the bigoted things they believe in. Great jobs on that impartiality.

They both drove invisible planes and crashed against each other. Also they both have similarities in cast.

I would assume horse. Mostly cause of serving size. Aren't most animal meds just different strengths based on animal size?

Legit people need to start doing this. I've been saying it for years.

'I'm a true American patriot, I'm not gonna let the government tell me or my fiancee what I can and can't do with my body. Stop being a commy' said to an anti abortion republican with an American flag. I also call them snowflakes.

I found out my ex of 12 years was cheating in a similar matter. For some reason she liked taking screenshot of conversations, I had set up Amazon pictures auto backup on her phone at her request cause she was afraid of losing 16 years of pictures. One day I was looking through the backups cause my phone was also set up and I was looking for an old picture I no longer had on my phone. I ended up finding plenty of screenshot of her texts with an old school boyfriend she had been cheating on me with for almost 2 years. Nothing physical as far as I could tell but I can't say for certain it didn't happen, emotional cheating is just as bad for me anyways.
I also saw that some screenshot were from Instagram and I knew her tablet was logged in so I checked and it was all there. Worst part was, that she would often be texting him when we were together doing things and basically telling him she wish she was there. Worst 3 months of my life while I got my ducks in a row so I could leave without issue.

I found out she met him at least twice on her yearly trips back to her home country.

Some do, mostly as another party day. Not necessarily for it's significance.

TEXAS NOOO PLEASE DON'T CREATE MORE PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION, MY LIB SENSIBILITIES WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO HANDLE IT.

I knew a couple who were married and together for 20 years and didn't live together. My manager as well, she's married and they don't technically live together but he stays at her house 4 days a week. I also knew a couple who were just friends with benefits and lived together and coparented their 2 kids, they had separate rooms.

Just find the type of relationship that works for you.

Edit: some extra context for anyone interested. The first couple were young professionals and they enjoyed their privacy and alone time. For my manager it was her second marriage and they were both in their 50th, they both had their lives and this way was just easier for them, iirc they've been together for like 7ish years. As for the last couple my ex used to watch them on tiktok, seemed like it worked out for them, they were a Mexican couple.

I wonder if it has to do with temp regulation. Iirc that's the reason why balls can expand and contract to begin with.

My guy, air bnb didn't cause the shortage or even significantly make it worse. It's the mega corps that literally own hundreds of thousands of homes across the US and just rent them out. I'm not even upset at boomers who own 3 or 4 rental properties and I work with a lot of them. It's always mega corps fucking it up for the rest of us.

As someone who went to the greater Tokyo area about a month ago. I can unironically confirm that pretty much everything does have subtitles. (in the form of text translation and most workers speak some sort of english/have someone available that speaks english)

I was all in on the ruined egg because it's relatable and ghibli has a way of doing that but the fucking tomato was too much.

They're also ok with child marriage.

Yea that's cause originally it was just meant to be gamer friends voice chatting and text chatting with each other. They build all the other features on top of what they had originally so it's terrible as a reddit/social media alternative.

I also wonder what they consider an active user. Would logging in through Facebook to play a mobile game count? What about just logging in through Facebook on any site to get an account on that site? I know I probably check my Facebook once every 3 months to check up on fam but other than that I don't use it.
