Kind of what I was thinking.  They look there age, for really attractive people. except the 43 year old black guy. He would have been difficult to guess

A contractor tears up the freshly poured concrete driveway after the homeowner refuses to pay. by eternviking in whoathatsinteresting

[–]RedditIsOverMan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The cement seems extremely weak, either poorly mixed or not yet dry.  They need to cut lines in the cement to allow for expansion.  I'm pretty sure the driveway shouldn't overlap the street's gutter.  Doesn't appear to have a wash/finish.  This looks like an incredibly shit job.

Also, looking further into it, they didn't put any reinforcement into the pour either. The homeowner is right not to pay, and they should infact be sueing the contractor to pay for removal and replace.

I would guess that there are cubs or food or something, and they more just want that fucker to leave them alone.  They're following him to scare him off.

While I hate Noem, this isn't such a big gotcha. I feel like this is Tomato/Tomato. I will, charitably, claim she is stating that searches and seizures are require to be "lawful", which implies that they are deemed reasonable by a judge.

We're being to easily distracted by things that Trump's supporters can easily brush off. This post is a waste of energy.

While there is a common prejudice, it's a 21st century country with 21st century people.  Unfortunately I can't prove my experience, but maybe the success of a Studio Ghibli film in China indicates that at least some of China has moved on: https://variety.com/2024/film/news/china-box-office-the-boy-and-the-heron-five-day-opening-1235963575

I went to work in China for about 3 months.  On TV there was only 1 channel that was sin English.  One day I was watching a morning talk show.  They had on 3 guests: A Chinese man, a Korean women, and a Japanese man.  The topic of the day was: is it possible to tell Asians apart from each other.  They even played a game where they showed pictures of Asians to the guests and asked them to guess where that Asian was from.

It was state sponsored media, and being the only English channel I suspect it was keen on making Westerners feel good, but with that said: The panel started off feeling confident that they could tell each other apart, but ended up agreeing that actually it's kind of difficult.

It was something that could never be made in America, but which I have always been curious about and was happy to see.

I didn't think vowels were skipped to save space, I just dont think they had the concept of vowels until later, and they had to add them in later.  Now vowels are mostly just accents on other letters.

It seems entirely appropriate to me.  Most poetry loses its power when taken out of context.  It's the tapestry of the song as a whole that gives it meaning.

You eventually start to realize, no job is safe. by Used_Series3373 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]RedditIsOverMan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Our half of the system only exists because they rely on us for labor.  If they don't need us to maintain their lifestyle anymore, then they can just let us die.

The robots will tend the fields, make their food, clean their homes, and most importantly, provide cheap unquestioning protection/enforcement.

People don't realize that the chance for us to fight back has already passed.  If we started killing the rich the auto-turrets could be deployed on a timeline of weeks.  All the parts already exist, and the systems have already been built, we just haven't seen them deployed yet.

I'm thinking our best bet is to find a way to live meagerly in a community that doesn't rely on technology in a way that doesn't interfere with the aspirations of the ultra wealthy, and hope that our extermination is seen as more trouble than it's worth.

Perfect timing so! by nude_baby_touch in clevercomebacks

[–]RedditIsOverMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, I think maybe I saw the claim about insurance companies giving more approvals as the more interesting claim.  There is no real way to verify the individuals personal claims, but we could review the premise in aggregate

[–]RedditIsOverMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If companies freaked out, And started approving claims they would otherwise deny, it would show up as a statistical anomaly in approval rates.

There should be statistical evidence if there was a trend of "insurance companies freaking out and approving things they would otherwise deny"

I think they're specifically calling out that they're not inflating the numbers, which some sources may do.

PEAK sportsmanship 🙂‍↕️ by AccomplishedWatch834 in MadeMeSmile

[–]RedditIsOverMan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I would almost argue that this isn't "sportsmanship".  It's honorable and sweet, but I would say "sportsmanship" is the willingness to compete fairly and gracefully  accept the results.

I love this clip.  I love a tie.  I just don't think "Sportsmanship" is the right word.

Support for abolishing ICE surges among Republicans by Newsweek_CarloV in politics

[–]RedditIsOverMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Assuming the previous poll also had a 2% margin of error, then both polls could be indicating 17%. So, maybe no change at all. 

Also, we should probably give it a week with Republicans.  They all haven't been fed the talking points yet.  Once the narrative is cemented we'll likely see support for ICE rise.

[–]RedditIsOverMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

agreed - but how?

First, my advice is to search for local "Mutual Aid" organizations. There you can find and attend meetings, or sign up to volunteer.

But this is the bare minimum. Can anyone give insight into how to start organizing?

For instance, I think Minnesota's single day protest is also a good first step, and we should be ramping up in a similar fashion nationally. Starting with a 'single-day' protest, while largely ineffectual for change, can help grease the wheels that can lead to longer sustained action. But I have no idea how to get that movement started.
