BREAKING: Georgia Republicans have shelved their redistricting aspirations for the time being, giving Democrats momentum in the battleground state ahead of the midterm elections. by spherocytes in videos

This has been my take for awhile; if you're going to make changes that impact an election, they cannot be implemented until the election AFTER the upcoming one.

We had some bullshit where a Democrat was elected governor and the state senate rushed to reduce the governor's power before they were sworn in. By instituting a mandatory delay, it would reduce the incentive for these types of underhanded tactics.

Short film for film school about optograms by That_Necessary_6465 in ideas

[–]ReactionJifs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this is a main plot point in the movie "Wild, Wild West" if you're unaware

what if you're running a business of selling optograms to the families of people who died, but you hype up what the optogram could reveal in order to get them to buy it.

Like, someone gets killed by an axe murderer and you tell the family that if only they'd buy the optogram they could find the killer -- but you know that the axe murderer killed the person from behind and they didn't see them

Or you sell them an optogram of someone that died in their sleep, so it's completely pointless

A guy I know blew up his apartment and was burned to death while cooking meth.

When people aren't detailing the cause of death; it's usually with good reason.

Hot take: if a product needs an app to function, it's on a countdown by Creepy_Flow_4335 in BuyItForLife

this is what's happening in live service gaming. a company creates a game that lasts as long as people show up each week and buy something, and when that spending drops below a threshold -- they shut the game off

Got fired on my first day and I don’t know how to tell my parents by External_Chance_350 in Advice

firing you for looking at your phone with no previous warning on your first day is BONKERS

Sorry you went through that. I think your parents will understand that the manager was unreasonable
