When I was a kid and would send very stuffed letters, we just left a dollar paper clipped to it, they would leave the change the next day for heavier stuff.

When I was even younger I used to leave flowers in the mailbox for the mail person, and they got me a little flower statue for xmas and left it in the mailbox for me. That’s a memory I haven’t thought of in a long time so that was pleasant :)

Is this chucklefuck implying that there aren’t enough horny men out there to keep birth rates high?

Pretty sure that’s not the problem..

I had one with a similar story, he taught the rest of my cats that inside is better, and that’s even been passed on to the newest cats even tho he’s not around anymore. Nobody wants to go outside, even on leash.

Meanwhile I put my hands in my sweatshirt pockets (zip-up sweatshirt, not pull-over) and flap them like wings while slow-running at them, yelling and stomping each step. Basically do what they do, but I’m bigger.

I look insane, but they fuck right off, since it’s all signals they understand.

I used to work at a place that had a sitting pond right against the building with walkways across it and stuff and that was the only way out to the back parking lot.. there were always geese.. I got fed up and tried that once when I was having a bad day, and it both worked and made me feel a ton better.

The Y chromosome is also deteriorating over time as it gets passed down with errors and doesn’t have a backup copy nor relevant genes to swap with, and men have less robust immune systems (iirc partially because of testosterone). So that’s fun.

Not even just factories, inmates are basically farmed out to whatever company wants cheap slave labor to lower the bottom line. That includes fast food places, retail places, etc, not just what you’d think, like factory labor and farm work..

He’s like that guy every woman in the friend group avoids and is like ā€œno but for real he’s a creep and I don’t want to be around if he’s aroundā€

And the us said ā€œyeah but he’s always been cool with us, so you’ll just have to get over itā€, and people in the know are like yeah, no.

I don’t know anything about it, so hopefully someone else has more experience, but I found this, so I assume the answer is yes.

On iOS, 5 quick presses doesn’t call emergency services, it reverts your phone to a pre-login state and gives you emergency options, so you can easily call 911, but it’s not required to use it.

This is super helpful to know if you have biometrics enabled. So cops can’t hold your phone in front of your face to unlock it if you do this.

Try it if you have iOS. 5 presses quick, you’ll feel a vibration to let you know it worked so you can do it from your pocket.

Archive link because this is too important for people to be turned away by a paywall

The takeaway that I got here is basically that even a burner phone can hypothetically be linked to you, if you take it home with you after a protest. And if you aren’t using a burner phone, they can get so much granular historical data about you that your whole life is laid bare.

And zero warrants required, because of course this needs to be abused as much as possible.

What do normal people even do about this sort of thing? Flock cameras at least can be disabled or hacked, but this? We don’t have access to cell towers nor the ability to choose which we connect to, we don’t meaningfully have the ability to opt out of data tracking.

I thought for sure, for sure this was bullshit. For sure Linux doesn’t have a touch command. What could it possibly do.?

Changing timestamps and creating empty files..

Of course, that makes so much sense. šŸ¤”

I imagine one willing to be rented out would be extra delightful, too.

I agree with you but it’s a minefield. And the goalposts shift. For example, one time I was leaving a bar after stopping for food on my way home from work. I brought a comic book to read as a signal I didn’t want to chit-chat. This took place in the parking lot, with a guy easily double my age, and I’m no spring chicken.

ā€œHey babyā€ (yelled from halfway across the parking lot)

ā€œNot interested, thanks.ā€ (Said dismissively)

ā€œBitch, I don’t want to fuck you!ā€ (Said extremely aggressively)

ā€œNot interested in a conversation either!ā€ (Said in singsong)

ā€œNo wonder you are here alone, cunt.ā€ (Intent obvious)

Like.. no shit? I made myself unavailable for a reason, but even minding one’s own business isn’t enough to escape abuse.

Most people who work the service industry don’t claim cash tips, but credit tips are required to be claimed due to the whole being electronic and traceable thing.

If, as a service person, most or all tips are in cash, you just claim whatever brings you to minimum wage for that pay period.

This is obviously heavily dependent upon where you work - some places want you to claim all tips (but you still don’t claim cash usually) others, especially if you make above min wage like most bartenders, don’t care.

However, if you don’t claim those tips you can’t use that as income when taking out loans and applying for housing and whatever else. So it’s fucks people over pretty regularly.

Having seen an absolute gob of these comments, I’m inclined to agree. They all read largely the same way, there’s an awful lot of comments for being a 1 day account (easily rivaling some of the most prolific humans we’ve had), some of them make very little sense, and they are all top level with very very very few replies to anyone, but they still address other commenters in their top level comment which is super weird. They also only seem to comment on images. Or at least I haven’t seen any that didn’t.

There was another account, cosmicpancake, that was basically the same. I didn’t realize they were not the same account. That one was purged.

Hmm, would you consider this an iron overdose instead?

Requires medical attention and all ;)

It’s so your alien chest burster doesn’t ruin your garment when it comes out. The work must continue, no stoppages, throw the next poor sap in the body bag.
