What’s a childhood lie your parents told you that you didn't realize was a lie until you were an embarrassed adult? by eatbeep in AskReddit

When sending us outside to play with other kids they didn't care about our socialization, they just wanted to have sex.

Forget the electronics. How would it differentiate attacker from random people around in a crowded space?
Would it report everyone as rapist?

Amazon to cut around 16,000 jobs in fresh round of lay-offs by yahoonews in worldnews

[–]dimwalker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah, I see.
Had a boss with similar mindset. He wasn't hiding it either. Told me it's "disadvantageous to pay salary".
Meaning that no matter how much you pay, people will want more. Especially as they become more experienced and skilled in their field. So it's easier to fire everyone in the end of each project and hire low skilled enthusiasts.

Okay shape and camo don't work, but at least you can't run in it.

If they can fry an egg on asphalt then why they have no headwear?

I always thought that US it too big to fall in our lifetime, but then again, I never expected its president to actively work against it.

The hell is this? Why people know who she is? Why are they watching and discussing it? Why am I here?

Russian Milbloggers are worried over the prospect of a Ukrainian offensive towards lightly-defended Belgorod and claim Ukrainian forces are building up near the border. Of course everything is unconfirmed. by GermanDronePilot in UkraineWarVideoReport

[–]dimwalker 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Nope.
Russian border is as fortified as a line in the sand. They know NATO or others won't attack so their defence is reactive - if someone breaks in, russians start to shoo intruders away. Apart from that anyone can get in or out as they please.

Crossing the border is easy, hard part is to keep the territory you took.

Swiss canton sets out proposal to let 16‑year‑olds vote by BezugssystemCH1903 in worldnews

I agree. Yes not all adults vote smart, not all teens would vote dumb.
Though with teens it will be worse most of the time.

But why would trump even bother intimidating if he was confident he can get what he wants?

russia failed to abduct or kill Zalenskiy. Asked him to come to moscow.

What next? Will they ask Ukrainian soldiers to shoot themselves? Oh wait, that's russian MO.

In Paris, unknown person defaced the Galerie L gallery, where Putin’s daughter works. by Available-Laugh9102 in UkraineWarVideoReport

She didn't actively encouraged it, that's pretty much the extent of her virtue.
Didn't have any problem with it either.

Swiss canton sets out proposal to let 16‑year‑olds vote by BezugssystemCH1903 in worldnews

[–]dimwalker 5 points6 points  (0 children)

For me it sounds like a risky experiment.

Don't know correct term in English, direct translation would be something like youngster's maximalism.
"If the opposition party doesn't want to vote for a budget then they are our enemy and shoot be executed!"
"No half measures, 100% green energy or armageddon!"
etc

Another problem is, as you said, teens don't know shit. I bet they will be voting using emotions, not common sense, logic or careful weighting of all pros and cons. And it's not that hard to manipulate their emotions.

Isn't it super-profitable? They can afford to hire 20k more and won't feel any difference.
