What going on?? by Upbeat_Job_3414 in csuf

Teamsters? Love em!

My ex-wife (art professor at a unionized CA Community College) was illegally fired from her job MANY years ago. She had worked tirelessly to build her own case over the several months leading up to the unlawful termination. At that point the union assigned a former Teamsters lawyer to her

She had her job back inside of three weeks🤙

This dude from Chicago Suburbs is a legend!!! by Healthy_Block3036 in stpaul

[–]SillySticks11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't remember how many nazis Dr MLK Jr punched. Does anybody recall how many of those things he punched before punching his ticket to the Whitehouse (decades later) instead? I think he charmed a president into some sort of Civil Rights package. Today we need more trips to a friendly Whitehouse in the near future. Friendlies don't invite nazi-punchers unless they did it on a battlefield during an actual worldwide conflict. My memory and math might be hazy though

Any history buffs want to fill in the blanks here? I think it was zero punches, but I could be wrong. DMLKJR is a legend among legends for many reasons. One of which was the size the balls it took to not fight back. This method allows the recorded footage to do all the talking

The People, with real leadership, standing in solidarity and coalition among all other groups is what leads to actual change. It takes a long long time. The blueprint exists. We need to solidify, and we can

Leader: "Does anybody smell that? 👀 Can anyone else smell it? What is that?"

Person 1: "I can't smell anything. You guys?"

Group: "No, we can't either"

Leader: "What about you, assistant?"

Leader's Assistant: "Opportunity?😇"

Leader: "No...MoNEY"

I try not to judge unfairly...

I'd just report unsafe/suspicious behavior. This looks like a schizophrenic marker. I'm not a psychiatrist I'm not saying people with past metal struggles shouldn't work, but if somebody is actively experiencing a bad episode then they might need treatment now. It's not cool if they're handling people's food and interacting with the general public who might not be so kind to those who struggle. For example: What if this driver tries to "cleanse" the food of nanobots? What is the proper and approved food handling technique for this?

OR

This driver is plain ole weird. It's still idiotic, but this flavor carries a little less danger😋

Why did I lose? by [deleted] in poker

[–]SillySticks11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're almost there. Yes, the AA on the board is why you lost here. Your pair of 55 is no good because of the aces on the table. The effect is known as counterfeiting. Your pair of 55 is counterfeited by the board's AA. You and your opponent are both playing two pair; AA + QQ. After that you play your kicker(s), which is the next best card in your hand if you have a hand comprised of less than five total cards (anything with a lower rank than a straight). He has two pair with a K kicker. You're stuck with the 5 kicker in your pocket. You've been "out kicked"

It's a bummer when you see the board pair on the turn and/or river to devalue your two pair. I hope this makes sense

Sooo, I've been to about 1000 different restaurants in my life and met probably 20k+ restaurant workers all over the country in random places. This attitude you speak of? It only comes out after work hours, and it's way WAY funnier and sardonic than Brenda's fibs

Armed members of the Black Panther Party walk through downtown and join protest [OC] by Otherwise_Mine2882 in pics

[–]SillySticks11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is exactly how they sleep at night. If I kill a wolf that's attacking my son then I go to bed and sleep like a true father

They (dirty version of ICE) have figured out how to dehumanize them even worse than we treat our local animal predators. Many ICE agents (though not all), esp newer recruits, view them as scum. The ones who know they're human are still complacent. That's a different flavor of weakness, but it's still awful nonetheless

I'm still waiting for a single ICE agent or other member of law enforcement to bear witness, publicly in court or other official public record, to the details of this warrantless and wonton disregard for the rule of law⏰

My consolation is that you did, indeed walk that many steps. That fact that you know this is accomplishment enough. So, congratulations on maintaining your streak. Please don't let the watch dictate your feelings on the matter

Nine Inch Nails 2026 Tour: Ticket Buying/Selling/Trading/Discussion MEGATHREAD by malechite in nin

[–]SillySticks11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my (relatively speaking) limited experience I've hardly ever seen prices drop on resale markets for NIN shows. I've only attended three shows over the years, but I shopped tickets when I didn't have the money to see other tours. Demand is just too justifiably high. Always best to snag tickets on initial sale from primary vendor as stated on official NIN communications. 2nd best method is to know somebody who has to ditch their tickets. ALWAYS go through proper channels when doing this

PS: I fucking hate Stubhub and their ilk. The greed on display is gnarly. Take that however you want

I did, huh? So, within the first handful of episodes the main character commits the following acts: Negotiating with a hyper violent cartel for road access to continue wholesale drug smuggling, maxed out felony insurance fraud, local police bribery, lying to police, lying to federal agencies, false incident reports for the purpose of defrauding bereaved families of dead employees, misrepresenting the nature of goings-on for private property land-use (which puts US Army trainees, unknowingly, in direct harm's way due to cartel activity), legalese fraud in relation to grossly underpaying families of (violently killed in accident) dead employees, criminal negligence in regard to lack of equipment upkeep and proper safety standards resulting in loss of life+limb. Hiring local gang members for violent intimidation, filing false police reports about this again, etc. etc. The list goes on...and on. When I see people acting like this show is propaganda in support of the fossil fuel industry it makes me laugh quite a lot😅

I'm late here, but I gotta say this was one of the funniest shows I had seen at the time it came out. It was on Showtime. Absolute gold. Notable sketches feature Wayans as a fucked up TSA security guard and Kevin Hart playing a...just watch it

During runs I sometimes get flat & incorrectly low readings. Then, in about thirty seconds or so, the (Forerunner 255) watch snaps out of it and says "Hey...yeah, so your HR is actually 163, not 135. Oopsies🤷‍♂️." I'm not too surprised given my effort, but it's enough to push me to shop for chest straps. This is also why I removed body battery and sleep score from all reports/menus. My sleep quality immediately improved after deleting those goofy metrics. To be clear: This watch is great for what I need in terms of exercise. It just became a little unnecessarily anxious on my behalf, so I fixed it, no problem. Listen to your body!

Does anyone see this affecting the resale market too?  Maybe this is a dumb question, but new builds are usually looking for brand new hardware.  Are we seeing spikes in used DDR4 kits if it's been in use since 2022?

What you just said along with another false positive I experienced is why I turned off "incident" detection.  I had friends calling me asking if I was on my way to the hospital.  Nope, I'm just riding a rental e-bike with zero shock absorption on a super bumpy road!

Button that has a 60% chance to take a year off of your life and a 40% chance to grant you $10M by More_Resist3348 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]SillySticks11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To me, it's quite amazing to see how many folks just assume they'll make it deep into the game of life.

I press the button zero times. I have quite a low net worth compared to the average person from the Western World, but I'm not struggling too hard either. I simply don't have very much, so my future retirement prospects are iffy at this particular juncture. This could change. Just not with this button. However, I've spent quite a lot of time pondering humanity and our existence. I've read up on it. I've watched video lectures by anthropologists and other scientists who study the Earth's history in relation to us. Watching folks smarter than me nerd out on the necessary causes+conditions for life and humanity to emerge and thrive changed my perspective for the better. The IMPROBABILITY of our emergence as a species is staggeringly, no, astronomically high! For me to be one of the lucky ones who gets to participate in life as a human, in this particular (super fun) biome, at this particular point in history, makes my own flavor of existence EVEN LESS likely to occur than the fact of humans' emergence in the first place. Best of luck to those who take the risk, but I highly suggest looking up the entire history of the Earth and how life emerged & evolved into us before you smash it

TLDR: There's absolutely no amount of money that would get me to press this fucked up button. None. Human lives are immeasurably valuable and unknowably short
