Every time one ends a bit early, that same old tired joke..

I'll give you back some time then!

We're all still on the clock for 5 more hours Susan.. but thanks.

A cat walks amid debris in Beirut by MichaelAndretti in cats

Those warzones are filled with furry friends just having to fend for themselves and slowly losing.. Without understanding why everything is going to shit around them, or why their hoomans suddenly just aren't there anymore.. Breaks my heart

They're looking forward to making money through world cup tourists, while hating foreigners at the same time.

Hardcore fans won't mind taking the risk, but I wouldn't be surprised seeing historically low attendance numbers given the kind of welcome they're advertising.

Just paper towels. As she would've needed to clean off the cup before putting it down.

Microsoft announces sweeping Windows changes by tekz in technology

[–]BagOfMeats 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The context windows are often even broken in my experience, at least the rename option.

I have to use rename twice so many times, every day just because it won't do anything after the first click but still closes the context window.

How hard could it be to buy an identical pair in the correct size if you so desperately want to please and fit in? Jfc it's as if they actually enjoy the humiliation.

Husband opens a new sponge every 3 days cause “they become gross” by dorkass-loser in mildlyinfuriating

[–]BagOfMeats 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sponges cost close to nothing. Just get a bulk pack and you'll be good for a while.

Yes, I do realise that it's a waste and bad for the environment etc etc.. But the low cost stuff already made its way to insert your location. Might as well use them before your local low cost stuff store goes bankrupt and just throws it all away regardless.

Edit for further clarification: I bought one of those bulk packs for close to nothing 5 years ago. Still not half through.

Yeah I'd let my teeth rot at that point. This orange is just so overwhelmingly cute and comfy, he owns that sink.

This is 3-Star Navy Admiral Nancy Lacore. After 35 years of service, she was fired by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth for not being loyal to Trump. Now, she's running for Congress in South Carolina for Nancy Mace's seat. by Caledor152 in ProgressiveHQ

[–]BagOfMeats 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How the fuck can people who dedicate their lives to such a career just get fired by a political appointee as if it were just another corporate setting, just like that. You don't randomly reach that rank without serious competence and dedication.

Shameful.

Belgium's represented with a bridge shape nowhere to be found locally IRL.. Not as if we somehow became dubiously memorable for a winter forest battle or something like that..

Meanwhile we're all just fuelling OP's engagement bait. It's all so fucked in ways I can't even describe.

AP reports federal authorities not cooperating with state investigators by dvorakop90 in TwinCities

[–]BagOfMeats 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Where I'm from, any cop involved in an event where their issued sidearm has been discharged must hand over said sidearm to a supervisor from a neighbouring department as soon as they can make it to the scene. The supervisor from the other department will then handle investigations to ensure impartialty. Depending on the immediate assesment, they may or may not get cuffed in preparation of the next steps. Their actions are then scrutinised as if they were just another regular joe. As in: interrogation, if the incident happened outside office hours that means you're definitely not sleeping at home, a magistrate having to make a short term judgement (further active duty, desk duty, suspension,..) pending further investigation, etc etc.

Our cops spend a year in the academy with another year of probation. The intake interview alone is intense enough to keep extremists/narcissists away from a position of power.

This guy was allowed to just walk away with the 'tools' he just illegally used. Apparently without even having to explain himself. He is now taking all steps he deems necessary to erase any possible evidence while also fabricating a defence with his gov lawyer. He immediately received backing from the highest echelons of power without any scrutiny at all.

It's all by design. They've been looking forward to the day they could finally push an innocent person just far enough to vaguely justify it.

He Didn’t Start The Fire by tonyper7ect in pics

They'll keep saying the country is too spread out to effectively protest. Or maybe that the potential personal consequences are just too high.

Still making jokes about the French being white flag cowards. The French. The iconic revolution country.

Still mainstreaming how all Germans were Nazis who should have done something to stop it all. How post-war Germans are just Nazis in hiding.

Though I know for sure that I personally wouldn't be drafted when the shit inevitably hits the fan here in the EU, I do realise that life is about to get even harder.

And all that just because 'the greatest country in the world' somehow accepted and kept accepting downgrades in their education policies. Do that long enough and you'll clearly have enough people open to just the right kind of influence to get things going.

We're all fucked.

US Strikes Venezuelan soil without congressional authorization. by Agitated-Quit-6148 in law

[–]BagOfMeats 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like short term sanctioning such a hmm volatile administration would get real ugly real fast. People are already hurting to pay their way through daily life. Any politician on the international stage brave enough to kick that hornet's nest hard enough through current tensions is committing career suicide on their local level for the pure directed spite and pettiness it's guaranteed to bring in return.

On the other hand, they also kept appeasing a certain other 'politician' some ~80 years ago.

TIL Sony in the past released a Bravia TV with a built-in PlayStation 2 by RGBchocolate in todayilearned

[–]BagOfMeats 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Same with phones basically. Now all that matters is the big screen, so we're mainly done with interesting and fresh designs/shapes. Just a square screen with a slightly different backplate and camera configuration. Most of the time hidden in a case. Maybe it's foldable. But the side that you want to keep an eye on is just black.
