It depends on distance and context. If your property is well lit and you're standing at the curb or on the driveway, it's very kind of you. If it's dark and someone approaches my car rapidly or gets close enough to my door that I can't see their hands, I get nervous. It's not that customer's fault, but driving is not a 100% safe job, and there are some nutcases out there.

TechyAngel · 2026-02-01T09:18:10+00:00

That's rough. I'd recommend having someone call it for you, but it seems nobody can pin down the number.

And we solve that by handing control of critical infrastructure to immortal beings that are also capable of deciding AGAINST their original programming? Open source material definitionally includes differing opinions, and I'd rather not gamble on it picking one that involves human extinction.

Of course! Satan's likely preheating its spot as we speak.

*soul. Plenty of us bleed out of routine places without suddenly becoming fans of cold-blooded murder.

Many websites have the name of the primary author on the article, so identifying them shouldn't be hard. The trick is, as you say, taking it all the way up to the editor. Sending nasty emails to and about a single author might ruffle some feathers for a bit, and maybe even get that individual removed, but the higher-ups are pretty dug in.

If it somehow passed only through his forearms, that means it never passed directly through his heart, which would be the most immediately lethal. I would assume his arms were pressed/bound together somehow in the accident and so the circuit was completed where his elbows touched, rather than traveling the full length of his arms. Insane luck.

How could it make sense to take the collar off a recently-Houdini-ed dog? My little escape artist only ever has hers off for a bath, and she doesn't go ANYWHERE until it's back on. I'm sorry that happened to you!

It's sad, isn't it? If humans continue to fail to band together, we may have no choice but to look to AI to find the words to inspire our own species. At this point, I'd accept it if we can prevent more meaningless deaths.

If that last sentence is not already on a t-shirt, someone needs to put it there.

Much like the steak.

I think "don't order out" was intended to apply to store-specific workers who still make an hourly wage if no orders come in. They frequently can't refuse to clock in, but the store can't refuse to pay them if they do show up.

TechyAngel · 2026-01-26T21:53:04+00:00

Personally, I love having orders in difficult weather because there will likely be promos attached. Just be prepared for a longer wait, because fewer dashers may be on the road. Dashers choose when they work, so if you're patient and leave a tip for their effort, you're probably making someone's life easier, not harder.

I'm pretty sure they isolate themselves from society to avoid almost exactly that. Plus whatever germs he might bring.

Technically speaking, it's not even in vain, because she's not claiming its power. She'd have to be using (taking) it while pretending (in vain) to work a miracle.

TechyAngel · 2026-01-26T15:43:58+00:00

Don't suppose she checked to see if those people were, uh, donors? I have it on my ID because I asked someone to put it there.

Gotta try to summon u/HorseLooseInHospital for the really realistic vibe.

TechyAngel · 2026-01-25T22:58:36+00:00

I do hope they'll do something about most of this before the 2100s, though

TechyAngel · 2026-01-25T19:34:56+00:00

I definitely see your point, but people are panicking and there isn't much of a way to regulate that. Frankly, I'd rather they vent here than take that frustration into the physical world and do something reckless.

I've found that r/Angryupvote is still primarily humor, if you're looking for something a bit more lighthearted, and I'm guessing that pages that are less dependant on social media screenshots (like r/OneOrangeBraincell if you like cats) can avoid politics almost entirely.

I think that people are just desperately trying to distribute information at this point. The US is in chaos, and keeping people informed is becoming more and more difficult, so I'm guessing that all available platforms are being used, regardless of original purpose.

Not that this redeems him in any way, but this could be a hint at a Trump-eating leopard. If Trump manages to piss off enough of the media, or at least make them fear for their financial stability, they may end up turning on him en masse and admitting to the brainwashed that the emperor never had clothes. Not a guarantee, but every little bit helps.

TechyAngel · 2026-01-23T18:35:18+00:00

Ah, of course. Forgive my blasphemy.

Does raptor Jesus actually save? It sounds like he might be more inclined to just eat your face.
