Depends on if you define stupid as negative intelligence or positive stupid

The caption changed the way i saw the expression. At first i saw attacking bear. Then i saw a concerned friend with his arms out trying to deescalate the situation

If you have morals and standards, its not hard to take a stance on every issue. If you support education, it doesnt take much looking into anything about education to understand how decisions fit into your worldview. And even if you support some aspects of one side and some from the other, you still have to pick a side because welcome to Americas 2 party system.

My experience with many users on lemmy who support “critical thinking” are not actually advocating critical thinking. Theyre trying to justify their mental gymnastics while simultaneously feeding their self-righteous egos

I would use it for some video game LFGs. I wouldnt want to post my game name in a public forum and have my game account be flooded.

Maybe he’s only had 1 wife, so being the hottest wife means nothing. There were (presumably) other girlfriends. Man knew what he was saying

The tolerancing on this thing must be a nightmare. My engineering brain is upset

The other option is lockheed, who just built an f35 that costs way too much money and doesnt meet requirements so its maybe better than the f22

I imagine the corporations don’t make those sales directly, they go through the government. The budget isnt just buying the air craft, theyre developing it, which means the design is technically government property.

That means less cash flow in, reduced RoI, and ultimately smalled budgets

Yes, but 40% is insane. Thats not just the markets 1-2% blood red days

Buying a shit ton of your own cars to then claim the government rebate for EVs, but still having those cars available for sale is fraud.

I loved my 1900 house. When we moved in, our insurance company said they wouldnt insure us if the knob and tube running in the attic was active. Our inspector wrote up the report saying it was dead wire, just didnt take it out when they ran romex… fast forward to us selling the house. New inspector tells us that knob and tube IS active and we have to replace it to sell the house. Sigh.

Another fun was trying to fix a door that didnt close right. Naturally i assumed the frame settled and wasnt square. Eventually started to get to work when i realized the frame WAS square, just about the only square joint in the house. But it mustve no been because the door was planed at an angle lol. That solid wood door replacement was hundreds of dollars, so it didn’t get replaced

My company (major conglomerate) keeps track of demographics like this, at every level. Even as specific KPIs like “women in semior executive roles.” While ive never actually seen any written plans or anyone admitting they hired someone for a role to meet a metric, there are a handful of things that do stick out as fishy.

There have been roles that have been upgraded in title but not scope when a non white male has taken over, and there are certainly a few people who you look at and think, “how the hell did you get this job.” That said, there is one person who is in charge of almost all my questionable experiences, and hes the kind of person who would do that to meet a metric because HR told him he had to, not because he sees value in it.

Most of our other managers approach it much differently. We try to widen our recruiting pool by going different places and by consciously making sure our recruiter team is diverse

Eh i would say the friend zone absolutely exists.

My wife tried to friend zone me early in our relationship. She wanted to date around and still be friends with me. I told her that wasnt ok with me because i had stronger feelings for her than that and id be miserable. I cut ties.

A few months later she asked me on a date out of the blue. I spoke my peace that to me, this was a real date. Well, that was almost 13 years ago and we just had our 9th wedding anniversary

From the thumbnail, i was convinced this was a sun flower costume

I have tried to find a doctor about 4 times since ive made this post and have either run into a detail i didnt know, or got distracted by something else. No wonder this shit goes undiagnosed in so many adults lol

Yeah… might be time i try to get diagnosed. Im 36 and have wondered it all my life, but have always been naturally gifted enough to get good grades so no one batted an eye

And that’s fine if they then continue to go faster than me.

If im doing 75, i dont care what my relative position to another car is, just let me do 75 in front or behind you. Dont keep changing your speed

Can he? Honest question. Can he pardon someone who hasnt actually been convicted of anything?

Ive never been diagnosed, but the more I read, the more im convinved ive been functioning adhd my whole life.

Today i learned about nicotine. The only time id smoke while sober was the last 2 weeks of the quarter when i was cramming for finals/doing labs etc. After my last deadline, i wouldnt do it for 10 more weeks, but would hit it hard during finals again. Always kept me focused and motivated

Childcare is outrageous. Daycare for my two kids was more than my mortgage every month. Ive been counting down until they were eligible for public schools
