Luckily, a legal “official act of the president” can work on more than one person.

I’m not saying it’s a great choice, but it is there.

Sometimes life gives you shitty choices.

And even if you DO post in small communities, half the time it’s a toss-up as to whether anyone will see it.

I’m not sure about lemmy, but reddit was roughly 50% US users, so it was a good bet that if you timed posts for “early morning” US browsing or “after work” EU browsing, your post would do well.

Idk lemmy’s demographic breakdown, but it seems more generalized (imagine that, a diverse fediverse!) around the world, so it’s hard for me to tell when the most users will be active.

I’ve had cuts I didn’t know about, but the worst was when I worked retail and managed to smash my upper arm on a shelf, and apparently I was bleeding bad enough to leave a broken trail from the front of the store to the break room.

I couldn’t feel anything but the aching of the blunt force trauma, I didn’t feel the sharp cut or any stinging at all.

I’ve also had plenty of small spots I have no idea how they happened, but usually I’M the one to figure it out…

and what’s with the bruised legs?

Tldr: inattentiveness, bumping into tons of stuff, and only remembering it when you look at the bruise or someone reminds you.

An explanation that’s meant to be humorous because it happens to me and my wife all the time:

“Oh my god, where did THIS bruise come from?”

earlier that day

bump “ow, how did I hit the coffee table…”

bump “fuck that hurt, I swear the counter was another 6 inches over”

smash “FUCK the freezer door closes too quickly!”

has to be reminded of these events to remember tham

As chonglibloodsport said, it’s a numbers game.

When you have enough enemies, and keep making more, you’re going to keep getting people who have had enough and don’t care about the risk.

If it weren’t for the “Russian suicide”, putin would have been black bagged long ago by someone who WOULD.

I always see people commenting on stories like this with things like “how does anyone actually believe that/think anyone will believe that?”

Well, that’s exactly the point. It’s not about the death being convincingly accidental. It’s very much about sending a message to others.

You don’t eliminate the competition and agitators with the exact same method of execution for 30+ years (with a few false-flag apartment bombings thrown in for good measure) and expect to keep things covert.

The only way they could make it more obvious is the “he hogtied himself, ate a cyanide capsule, jumped out the window and shot himself twice in the back of the head on the way down” trope.

There are parts of video games that always feel too clean. That sign is one of them.

It would take years for a team to custom weather every model in the game and the file size would probably end up being huge.

I still haven’t tlfinished this game, I can’t even remember what made me stop playing. But after playing Control again, I want to replay AW.

People like this get to piss away money while millions go homeless without a meal today.

I don’t understand some people.

Have we checked to make sure they don’t have a banana stand nearby? Specifically looked at the walls?

I can almost hear the record scratch as he says “But we don’t do that…”

The opening scene of episode 1 hooked me.

And every reference for the next twenty minutes made sure I stayed.

I keep seeing aa lot of neat things about Kenshi, but when I tried it out I felt completely lost and lost interest before I really figured anything out.

I don’t like when games baby you, but I do like a little hand-holding to get me started.

Maybe I’m just a big dum and turned off the tutorial/tips/skipped something I shouldn’t have? Not sure but your comment definitely makes me want to give it another go when I have a couple of days free.

I work for company A. Company A is based in Florida, USA. I work in a warehouse owned by Company X, and staffed by Company Z.

As an employee of Company A, I do have my own conduct rules.

That said, when working in Company X’s warehouse with Company Z’s people, I have a different set of conduct rules, some of which conflict with Company A’s rules. But since I’m currently on contract with and on the premises of Company X and Z, their rules take precedent. Company A understands this and is okay with it. I will not be fired.

I am not being condescending, and genuinely hope this helps it click for you.

Exterior: El Sleezo Cafe. Man in a coat is being tossed out onto the street.

A green frog sees this, and suggests the man complains to the owner of the establishment.

The man then says to the frog “I AM the owner.”

Yeah it could definitely be a little clearer with it’s phraseology.

I haven’t played a live service game since Destiny 2 decided to completely remove all the shit I paid for, then lock everything new behind even more pay walls.

I’ve been playing dozens of games since then. It’s not hard to find games that aren’t live service and likely won’t be touched outside of stability and a couple QoL things here and there.

I’m all for laws requiring all games to be playable offline, and without any sort of bullshit “online activation”. I paid for a game, I want to play the game without having to download shit first. I want to play the game whether my hanky-ass internet connection is stable or even nonexistent today. I want to be able to use the thing I paid for without having to jump through extra hoops, no matter how large or “on the ground” the hoop is. It’s still a hoop.

That’s a little wordy though…
