As someone who just turned 40 and been single for 8 years, this is very promising!

Sure, if they want to or not there isn’t much choice with such density. The choice is a perk of suburban living.

DUI. I was dismissed during jury selection, i think from questioning the accuracy and last calibration date of the breathalyzer device when they asked what I would want to know about during the trial.

That was after someone else was pleading emotionally with the judge/attorneys to dismiss them because of a family member being killed by a drunk driver. The jury member said they would be unfair and vote guilty no matter what, and the judge argued their perspective was important for the jury. They were selected.

No conclusions here. It was an interesting process and I was only there an hour or two.

They weren’t collecting taxes for online sales and now owe millions!

If only they didn’t stop selling to Arizona! What a bummer. Its a great site.

Its the absurd generalizations that are the problem.

AI has free reign to scrape Lemmy or any federated site. But at least the data being scraped isn’t curated and moderated by a massive advertising platform.

They killed my favorite app “rif”, so I started using the web version. Then they made the web version almost unusable with the “open this in our app” banner on every page which was the last straw for me. Can’t use third party apps, and the web version is constantly nagging you to not use it? Stupid. Now I just use Lemmy on Firefox and have had 0 issues.

Shooting buckshot over residential areas? Police will forget the theft and be all over the shooter in no time!

From Wikipedia: Shotguns have an effective range of about 35 m (38 yd) with buckshot, 45 m (49 yd) with birdshot, 100 m (110 yd) with slugs, and well over 150 m (160 yd) with saboted slugs in rifled barrels.

These drones fly at the end of shotgun range. Even if you only need to damage a propeller it doesn’t sound very effective. I’d sure like to try, but shooting my 12ga in town is a strait path to jail.

Are you calling non tippers the assholes, and not the business owners or practice of tipping in general? Tipping is out of control and a stupid obligation as it is currently being used.

However, Reddit executives have noticed that traffic coming from Google has limited value, as users seeking answers to a specific question often don’t convert into becoming active Redditors, the people said. Now, Reddit is engaging with product teams at Google in hopes of finding ways to send more of its users deeper into its ecosystem of community forums, according to the executives.

What does this even mean (I’m afraid to know their suggestions)? So I check reddit for an answer if web search is failing me, and they’re going to somehow trap me there? Tease an answer and not show anything until I sign in? Idk but sounds like I’ll be using “-site:reddit.com” more and more, or realizing I dont care enough to get the answer!

Nothing in the image itself, but someone else posted this link: https://www.chicagotribune.com/2025/09/19/tear-gas-protesters-broadview-ice/

Curtis Evans, of Evanston, carries a U.S. flag through gas deployed by federal officers as they clear protesters from the entrance of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility in Broadview on Sept. 19, 2025. Evans said he was a Marine during President Ronald Reagan’s term. (Stacey Wescott/Chicago Tribune)

How can you tell? Just curious as a Marine veteran. We used to do jumping jacks and pushups in the gas room until the last man couldn’t take it anymore. Those were the days!

Edit: Oops nm, I found the source on this guy.

My experience exactly, from the last 3 companies ive worked for! And now there are no job advancement options internally because the openings have moved to India.

This is all so thoughtful, thank you for sharing!

I was thrilled when I bought my first home just a few years back and they had a single page hand written note explaining a couple of minor issues, some unusual plumbing, and an apology for a small hole in the wall done by accident during move out day. It was a relief just for some insight, since I didn’t really know what to do with a house and was a bit scatterbrained already.

This would be above and beyond expectations in the best way possible. Thanks for the reminder for me to get this started.

Absolutely it. Happened to me standing for a memorial service. Lots of stories from military where this happens, and “don’t lock your knees” is often taught first thing.

Rufus the dufus. Nice marketing!

I recently saw a pigeon doing its mating ritual trying to attract another pigeon in my yard. That other pigeon had been dead for over a week! That didn’t stop the mating attempt. This is also how I picture trump.
