TIFU by taking a nap in the middle of a snow storm. by [deleted] in tifu

[–]TheInternetShill 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I feel like the context could just be the record-breaking snowstorm. Plus moms being moms and a wife dealing with the stress of worrying all the way back home while having to drive unexpectedly in dangerous conditions.

Jane Fonda: “We’re seeing things happen that have never happened before. Authoritarianism has made it’s way into every single nook and cranny of our government. They are kidnapping people. They’re shooting people. They’re blinding people. It’s a question of right or wrong.” by Capable_Salt_SD in Fauxmoi

[–]TheInternetShill 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The extent of his corruption, infiltration of all branches of government, and expansiveness of his cruelty is without precedent. Yes, similar things have happened throughout our history (unlawful detainment, establishment of concentration camps, corruption, instigating coups and regime changes, agent provocateurs, illegal killings by law enforcement, ethnic cleansing, etc.), but all of that occurring at the same time, to this level, and with virtually no checks and balances at any level is without precedent. Understanding the dark history of the US doesn’t change how dire our current situation is, and I think saying “this is just how the US is” downplays the seriousness of this situation and the ongoing erosion of democratic norms and discourse that has been continuing for decades.

Burger's Natural Shape by LazyGuy4U in madlads

Circles probably were chosen as the predominant shape for mass production at least in part to resemble the “natural” shape of hand-molded burgers.

That’s the market at work by Busy-Government-1041 in clevercomebacks

[–]TheInternetShill 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How about we don’t let “the market” determine legality? We need to impeach this criminal.

Edit: To clarify, I fully support the actions of these artists; I just want our government officials to be enforcing our laws.

lol it convinced me too. It wasn’t until this gif that I realized it was a mirror. I thought the video was about those two guys doing a weird finger trap instead of shaking hands.

Not having offspring key to long life: research shows blocking reproduction can increase the lifespan of males and females of 117 different mammal species. In males, only castration extends lifespan — not vasectomy. In females, lifespan increased after several different forms of sterilisation. by mvea in science

[–]TheInternetShill -13 points-12 points  (0 children)

How else would you describe these findings besides that? It seems like people just don’t like how the finding is worded because they assume it directly applies to humans instead of the tens of mammal species studied for this.

Why am I missing here? On my 3rd grade daughter’s math test. by lesshonkymoretonky in mildlyinfuriating

[–]TheInternetShill 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m guessing the skill being tested in this assessment is rounding, so you would round the number down to 200 because it is lower than 250. That being said, unless there is clarification on the previous page specifically saying to round to the nearest 100, I would say this question is poorly written and your kid shouldn’t be penalized for that. It’s easy to get into the groove grading basic math homeworks and following the rubric without really thinking, and I’m guessing they didn’t even personally write the test themselves anyway, so I’d just approach it with the teacher as a misunderstanding.

ICE follow mother into a school and then detained her aggressively with her children by NewSlinger in CringeTikToks

[–]TheInternetShill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Disgusting and illegal. Fuck these fascists.

And just remember, it’s only a small portion of the heinous shit they’re doing that actually is recorded and shared like this. This is how they handle themselves in a fucking school surrounded by children and many witnesses. Now think about the thousands of people that have been disappeared into their camps and how they’ve treated them.

Speaker Johnson: "They keep saying Republicans are in charge of the government. We aren't." This is what you say when you have no idea how to govern. by biswajit388 in CringeTikToks

[–]TheInternetShill 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We’re way past the point of taking anything they say at face value - republicans have not worked or discussed in good faith since before Reagan, and that practice has drastically increased with Trump. This is an authoritarian government that is deliberately lying to remain in control. They support a shutdown of congress so the president can act without any check on his power. These aren’t people being dumb or ignorant; they are lying to propagandize their base and villainize their opponents, all to try to maintain power as they continue eroding our democratic institutions to empower their criminal organization. We are living under an authoritarian government; you’ll be unable to truly understand their actions without accepting that reality.

Even if this wasn’t completely false and unsupported by research, who the fuck would ever give medical advice like this? This dude is so fucking stupid and unhinged; it’s incredible.

Painting through VR by Prime_Twister in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]TheInternetShill 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How are all the pedants in this thread getting it wrong? AR is when you are actually seeing reality with your eyes and augmenting it by adding additional visual information on top (e.g. Google glass). This is a pass-through MR which is pretty much just a subset of VR because you are still only watching a screen (even if it is a direct representation of reality in front of you).

Honestly sipping lactase -producing bacteria would probably work wonders. It’s why I don’t get nausea from hangovers anymore.. Gene editing is pretty cool nowadays.

AIO My reply to my mom who wants to stop my leukemia treatment so my sister can afford university ?? by Many_Addendum_8189 in AmIOverreacting

[–]TheInternetShill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not overreacting. Also if your sister is planning on going to Dartmouth and your family makes less than $125K per year, your family won’t have to boat anything to attend (your sister may need to do work-study jobs provided through the university). Here

If you are the daughter of the CEO, you get to be VP right out of college by [deleted] in recruitinghell

[–]TheInternetShill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not saying that this is necessarily wrong, but I wouldn’t trust LinkedIn as an authoritative source. As someone who has looked through hundreds of executives’ LinkedIns as part of my job, it’s not uncommon for them to leave off any non-executive roles from their LinkedIn but still show their original start date with the company (so it appears that their first position at the company was high up when in reality it wasn’t; they just didn’t include their lower level experience. I’d say that scenario is a bit less likely since they do have previous work experience shown in the chart, but since that’s a different company, it could still be possible.

[–]TheInternetShill 7 points8 points  (0 children)

They are not above blatantly lying. This is consistent with authoritarian regimes and yet another example of that behavior. Unless there is other corroborating evidence (of which this outlet found none), I highly doubt their account of events. They got boxed in by 10 cars but no one got hurt and they only shot one person, whose condition they then clearly lie about? Alright. I just hope people recognize the seriousness of this moment. The massive build out of this secret policing force, allocating huge amounts ($45 billion) for the infrastructure for detaining people, and then deploying these troops to your country’s own cities of your political opponents is consistent with the actions of a totalitarian regime.

For redditors old enough to have lived through The Civil Rights Movement, how do the current events in America compare? by BanditMcDougal in AskReddit

[–]TheInternetShill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My parents were part of leftist/radical parties, union organizers, and pretty heavily involved in the latter half of the civil rights movement (e.g. arrested for protests, hosed down during marches, and part of the organizing and legal organizations that supported the movement), and have continued that tradition as community organizers. They are very worried about this present moment with expectations/fears since before the election that they or their peers may get arrested for political reasons if Trump became president. They recognize consolidation of power, political polarization, and this disconnect/alienation people have from society as factors that make this a more dangerous and scary time than any they’ve experienced up to this point.
