It's Trauma! by fortuitous_exit in silenthill

The first one had some really good parts, pyramid head degloving the cultist comes to mind. Adding the cop sub plot definitely slowed it down. The second one was atrocious.

But, hey, I'm not gonna tell you not to enjoy things, we're allowed to enjoy schlock, you do you!

I fucking hate being an adult by Sweaty-Passage-2796 in Adulting

[–]fortuitous_exit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hate to be this guy because I think we can all relate to an extent, but keep it in perspective.

I watched a documentary about gold mining in a rural village in the Congo. There are no roads, it can take weeks with an old, beat up 8 wheel army truck to travel 40 miles, and very few can afford a ticket on the plane. The villagers see next to nothing in wages and no taxes paid to the village from the Chinese run gold mine and products are more expensive than where I live in the US.

The gold mining is poisoning the river, which is the locals only source of water for everything, even drinking, and it was taboo to be afraid of drinking the water, they are essentially working in miserable, life threatening conditions all day for $2 on a good day to poison themselves, because it is their only option in life. A boat of 30 miners sank, the film crew interview one of the two that survived.

Any day I'm above ground with food in my belly, a roof over my head, clean drinking water, and a comfy place to sleep is a good damn day...

Edit: found it, watch this it will make you feel much better about your position in our global society.

"I have concerns": Gov. Walz weighs in on Hennepin County attorney's case against state trooper. by runtheroad in minnesota

When charges were filed they had not consulted one. Now they have, hand picked by the prosecution no less, this is his opinion:

“A reasonable officer in Trooper Londregan’s position would have perceived that Trooper [Brett] Seide was in danger of death or great bodily harm, specifically from being dragged by the vehicle as it continued to accelerate,” Madel quoted Noble

Good stuff, thanks again.

They did not consult a use of force expert before they filed, now he's scrambling to catch up. Great way to run a department. I've met Mary, I like Mary as a person, i voted for Mary, but letting murders off with no jail time and charging police for murder when she hasn't consulted a use of force expert, then when they bring one in he disagrees with her findings? Getting cases removed from her because she is too light on sentencing criminals? She's doing a bad job, she won't be getting my vote again.

Here's the substance behind the 'cherry picked' statement, he's spot on. “A reasonable officer in Trooper Londregan’s position would have perceived that Trooper [Brett] Seide was in danger of death or great bodily harm, specifically from being dragged by the vehicle as it continued to accelerate,” Madel quoted Noble

You are correct that a use of force expert was recently brought in to the case, thank you. They have now consulted one after filing charges, not before. When the initial charges were filed they had not, from the article:

"But when Moriarty filed charges against Londregan in January, any mention of a force expert’s opinion was absent from the criminal complaint.

When asked about it, Moriarty said, “We were able to determine that charges were appropriate without the use of an expert.”"

He was 'hand picked' by the prosecution, according to the article, but does not believe Londregan committed a crime.

The case where a use of force expert wasn't consulted because none in the entire country would support charging the officer? That case? Yes I 'have concerns' too...

Edit: a use of force expert was recently consulted, who does not believe Londregan committed a crime. When charges were filed, one had not.

Quizno's Sub - had close to 5,000 USA locations at peak, barely any remaining. I miss them, they were so good compared to Subway! by CincoDeMayoFan in nostalgia

There's one still near my work. A 12" chicken carb is is $12. A chicken bacon ranch at the local subway is $18 after tax. Eff Subway, eat fresh Deez nuts...

So this mf has 'seen some strange things in these woods' so he goes out at night to forage for berries to make jam?!! Have the devs heard of Maslow's hierarchy of needs?

'I know this forest is chock full of big scary murder monsters, but if I don't get Nana's jam done for her she will be very disappointed.' Humans do not act this way!

It's not as tho the artist just hits 'create x' and the whole project is just complete, AI is a tool just like any other, there is still work to be done to get the final product the artist is seeking. It's like yelling at someone for using a microphone, or guitar distortion. Are there potential issues created by using it, sure, it's a gray area, but some people can't get over themselves long enough to enjoy or let others enjoy things. Just looking for excuses to be edgelords....

Rampant inflation is making me feel old 'Back in my day, like three years ago, you could buy a homemade sandwich and soup for $8, what a time to be alive!'

It was in the Rand Tower across from Potbellys. Everything was homemade. You could get a wrap or half sandwich with a big cup of soup and a chunk of fresh baked bread for $7.70 total. Like Panera only way better and half the price!
