… So you’re saying there’s a chance?

So I’m gonna go looking once I hit “post”, but anyone got any links to specific cams?

Edit: I found https://www.openoceans.org/web-cams

To many people nowadays, the actual job itself doesn’t matter, it’s the fact that it’s a job and it pays.

“you are so beautiful…”

incredulous stare

“to me…”

monstrous roar from the other side of the mall

Well I know what I’m watching tonight… No joke my sister and I used to watch that multiple times a week as teens

“can we get you anything?”

“ice cream…”

“okay, what flavor?”

“it doesn’t matter… It’s for my ass”

That’s the point.

Set the bar low, but just high enough that tons of people still trip over it.

Sit back and enjoy the comment wars.

The people who are confident but wrong are too proud to admit they were wrong even if they realize it, and comment angrily.

The people who are right and know why, comment for corrections and some to show off how S-M-R-T they are.

The people who are wrong but willing to accept that just have their realization and probably don’t think about it again. So do the people who don’t know and/or care.

But those first two groups will keep the post going in both shares and comments, because “look at all these wrong people”

It’s all designed to boost engagement.

Oh hey, me too, except I would never pay for premium. I just don’t use the official front-end.

Skilled truckers

I have met truck drivers that can (and have demonstrated) back their trailer up to a cargo dock blindfolded.

I’ve met some that can navigate turning radii (radiuses? Radiens?) smaller than my old Nissan.

And then I’ve also met some that couldn’t figure out their 13ft tall trailer can’t fit under a 12ft 8 bridge…

For the most part though, in my experience truck drivers are better drivers than 97% of regular drivers.

You know, it’s always funny when sci-fi shows have doctors that refer to current year medical practices as “barbaric” or “Savage”, but honestly looking back just 50 years? Same feeling.

200 years ago, the local “doctor” will probably tell you to take a swig of the bottle he just dumped on your wound, because he’s gotta saw it off. Hopefully they at least washed it since it’s last use.

200 years from now? Eh. Doc will wave a light over it, you’ll be fine.

Lol. I wasn’t going to be paying full price for a game anyway, but now I’m not paying for gearbox games ever again.

I had exactly 0 intention of ever buying anything from Adobe.

Inkscape gave me an alternative to the high seas. And it happens to do everything I need it to, although it’s way more powerful than the simple vector graphics conversions I use it for.

10/10, Adobe never lost money from me getting Inkscape. They lost the game before they knew I was a player.

As shitty as things like this are, at least they’re self identifying who needs to be in the Guillotine line.

Just set him on fire here, no need to launch a rocket with all the pollution that will create.

End result is extra crispy lunatic either way.

No, surely they must mean set on fire.

“FTC personnel want bribes and to give the government time to kill the rule so they don’t have to do anything difficult right now”

New headline.

Honestly there’s no legitimate reason to delay this unless you’re stalling for something.

In this particular instance it reminds me of trees like this:

However, in general I agree that it can be off-putting.

The big one of endgame is Tony Stark commits the single worst crime in the history of the universe by “un-snapping” the half of the universe that was snapped by Thanos 5 years after they disappeared. No accounting for all the people who are dead in the meantime, no accounting for all the awkward conversations of “oh for me I just blinked and now you have two kids and a new wife” or “who are you people and why are you in my house where am I supposed to live now” all because he lacks the imagination to make the universe go back 5 years while keeping Pepper and his daughter the same.

Oh and

. That’s probably more important to most people.

That’s how I felt about infinity war and endgame.

I decided not to watch after finding out it was a 2 parter, then after endgame came out I still hadn’t watched it after a good year and a half.

Then someone spoiled the ending out of nowhere in a post and I decided I’d finally watch it.

I’m impressed you’ve gone this long.

I’m a simple man.

I see GROND

I upvote/compliment.

GROND

It was a stereo from 1987.

Ye Olde Analog airwaves, no fancy digital nonsense.
