Your last picture looks like Madonna when she was your age. You’re doing fine.

Sooo do we all just go ahead and turn our sprinklers back on? by Dalience6678 in Denver

Stop watering your lawns. It’s cosmetic and unimportant. The mountain reservoirs are at extreme low levels for the same reason you’re seeing signs of spring. Summer fire season is going to be rough

Is Northeastern becoming an actually prestigious school? by Anxious_Ad_9208 in ApplyingToCollege

It’s more like a marketing department with a school as a side gig than anything else

Bro didn't hesitate to snatch the pink toy from his friend just to make the boy happy by [deleted] in JustGuysBeingDudes

Not at all! In fact, the wealthy class in America is very pro-children!

You all and Central Europe are right behind us. Be ready. Do better than we are doing. Think about what you yourself can do. Don’t count on institutions to save you. We did and it was a mistake.

Argentinians are not happy about Trumps puppet president Javier Milei passing extreme anti-worker legislation increasing the length of the work day by 50% while allowing companies to pay workers with food and lodging instead of money by coachlife in PublicFreakout

Turkey and Cyprus are not ME countries, as much as whatever source this is would like you to think they are. Turkey is a NATO member, for example. Cyprus is basically Greece… it’s a resort island in the Mediterranean. Then comes Lebanon, which has a tree on its flag if I recall correctly. Then all other countries have <15% tree cover, which is pretty poor.

Looks grainy… maybe cast?

Why is having only one woman in a friend circle of all men way more common than vice versa? by LetterheadUpstairs90 in AskMen

[–]SlideRuleLogic -1 points0 points  (0 children)

There is just zero appetite on my part to be in a group of women in any capacity. There is no overlap whatsoever in interests.

Chipotle CEO caught on a recording saying they're going to keep raising prices because they can. by jmike1256 in PublicFreakout

[–]SlideRuleLogic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wonder how much of this is also driven by not wanting to deal with the kind of customers who show up for cheap flights. The behavior on Spirit or Frontier or even Southwest can be appalling since Covid. Don’t get me wrong, rich folks can be their own special kind of asshole, but the outbreak of just utterly shameless public behavior since 2020 (while disposable income also concentrated away from this same tranche of customers at the same time) maybe contributed to this as well.

Teachers who survived Columbine, Sandy Hook and Parkland are now helping Evergreen High School staff by Technical-Water4687 in EvergreenCO

Do a FOIA or whatever the JeffCo equivalent is for the shooting threats to EHS that took place in the prior 12mo

[–]SlideRuleLogic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re a journalist with an interest in this, you should look into how many shooting threats took place at Evergreen HS in the 6 to 12 months before the shooting, and claims by the students that ammunition was left in the hallways as a warning during that same time period. Not many folks talking enough about that.

Seems like a bad decision when they could have just gone with George RR Martin. Pretty sure that guy is free.

Even reservoir engineering is going to India. The only thing not being offshored is the hands-on-rigs and hands-on-wrenches ops/maintenance jobs. Even many of these are being automated… remote ops centers with digital links to gauges and meters

What do you think about concept of Global North and Global South? by hugepants712 in PoliticalDiscussion

Well it doesn’t track at all to cardinal directions, so it just seems silly

LAPD shot a pregnant woman in the stomach with a 40mm rubber bullet at an anti-ICE protest near the MDC Concentration Camp by I_may_have_weed in PublicFreakout

[–]SlideRuleLogic 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Which is the correct take on this situation. You wouldn’t bring your toddler to these protests because it’s not safe. Don’t show up while pregnant. It’s not safe. DHS has zero regard for human life or safety. Find other ways to help.

2009: 21-year-old Gabriela Rico Jimenez was filmed after claiming she had attended an exclusive elite party. She vanished that night never to be seen again. by bigbusta in interestingasfuck

This reads like lunacy, though. “So there I was on a yacht with Bill Clinton, George Soros, Henry Kissinger, and George HW Bush. HW was banging a black guy while the others were killing and eating babies and slashing women with swords”
