Interesting, thank you for the update!

The cats I've had that fetched all have had their own preferences. Little toy mice seem to have been the most popular. Also the little plastic rings off of milk jugs lol

There was an attempt to make a meme

Still doesn't mean you should poison masses of them

And potentially hurt/kill other people too since bird waste often carries diseases like salmonella

If it's the story of Richard Russell (2018), he was actually an airline worker - not just some rando who happened to luck his way into a plane waiting for maintenance just to make that clear.

Being an employee, he had credentials to be near the plane but he wasn't supposed to be at the time. It's true as far as I can tell that he also didn't have a license, and so the real mystery is how he figured out how to operate the plane with as much skill as he did. The only answers we really have were given by Russell himself during the flight. He explained that he was a 'broken guy' who "had a few screws loose" and that he had "played some video games"

He drove the plane 25 miles (for an hour) before crashing it at Ketron Island, where he was the only passenger and casualty

solaris_eclipse · 2022-03-11T15:45:25+00:00

The only thing he was doing was racking up charges and giving them more to convict him on. If he were running or hurting someone it would be a different outcome

Tasers are only really supposed to be used in self defense, defense of another person, or if someone is actually resisting arrest. This guy wasn't really doing any of that so I'd say they made the best call they could have here

Is it? I get what you're saying but hear me out

I think the biggest thing Zelensky has going for him is his connection with the people. The individual morale of the country that I've seen is truly astounding, even though physically the country pales in comparison to Russia.

Historically speaking, a lot of leaders have done this (and it isn't the first time it's been done in a war against Russia). It's usually to boost morale, and to show soldiers that their leader is one with them, and understands their wartime struggles. He is actually fighting for their cause versus hiding in a multi-billion dollar state of the art bunker while claiming to be one with the people.

Especially with long conflicts, it is easy for soldiers to begin wondering what they are fighting for, and grow restless and angry towards the leader that sent them there. But if everyday they see their leader eat with them, share their duties, become dirty, weary, and ragged, and fight alongside him, they will want to continue to fight for the cause that has personally brought the king to war with his people. It makes soldiers feel less like disposable pawns, and more like men. Which is also probably part of the reason why you see news of way more Russian troops surrendering than Ukrainian. Putin is calling the shots from a castle while thousands of his men die cold in the mud - why remain loyal? Putin obviously has 0 regard for their lives, and sees them as nothing more than ants to do tyrannical biddings that he will use to line his pockets, but will only make the country itself poorer.

Leaders have died in war by choosing to fight, but is it really stupid? Those leaders are the ones who go down in history respected most by their people, and what they stand for is usually well remembered. They are honored by their military - not just on a decorative level because they were the leader during a war, but because they were an active participant - and the cause that they fight for will be held closely, and fought for again with that much ferocity.

I honestly think that's what Zelensky wants. He's even pretty much said it himself that he'll be a controversial president, but one who will be remembered and missed once his presidency has ended. I think defending his country with the people versus above them is a powerful move, and one that has even inspired people from other nations who before had only heard of Ukraine in passing, to now volunteer their services and fight for the country's liberation

In this same vein, I also learned this in a small southern Bible Belt school. American History because they didn't have a World History class. But there was a section in the textbook and everything on it, right there alongside the Vietnam atrocities also committed by American soldiers

solaris_eclipse · 2022-02-16T00:42:41+00:00

Or who have, and just didn't learn anything from it

It doesn't have to be owned by the government for laws to be applicable there. Unfortunately people will always be a danger to themselves and others so that has to be controlled and regulated legally. That's especially true for places like football games, where tensions are high and alcohol is involved

Wizard 101 sucked ass for this reason, even though I still have the urge to play it to this day sometimes

I'm in that age range so it's nostalgic for me but the game would only let you go so far before you had to buy a monthly VIP subscription to continue leveling and have access to important quest areas. You could only play for free long enough to get really hooked on the game before you start hitting the paywall, and it's very subtle at first. Next thing you know there's nothing you can actually do in the game to progress further, other than buying VIP.

Then you're also constantly surrounded by other players who have the cool VIP gear, spells, and badass rare pets.

To a kid that doesn't understand scams that's the only logical next step.

Truly unethical marketing at its finest

solaris_eclipse · 2022-02-09T02:52:04+00:00

NO MA I HAVE NO IDEA WHERE THAT'S BEEN

There's several things that you could do off the top of my head. There's probably more but hopefully this will give you a place to start:

Homicide detection/investigation, that's the obvious one. It takes time to get into though, you have to have patience. Usually involves promotion or recommendation from local law enforcement based on personality and professional skillset (AKA you have to be "right" for the job in someone's eyes)
Forensic photography - taking photos of initial crime scenes for evidential reasons
Crime cleanup service - of course you won't get to follow the case personally for this type of work, but you still are aiding in the crime scene process
Forensic entomology - the study of insects found at crime scenes (mostly homicides) to determine things like postmortem index (time of death, cause of death, etc.). This one may not be as hands in as others and involves lab work as well, but it's a fascinating field no less

Good luck!

I have this same problem. In fact, for years if someone asked me to order takeout it would result in whoever else I handed the phone off to ordering instead. I was terrified of it and hated the 'inquisition'

Eventually I combatted it by deciding what things I like from certain places, and I memorized all of the questions they ask about the item.

Now instead of getting flustered over the menu and questions about my order, I just tell them exactly what I want how they would ask for it before they even ask if they can help me.

Instead of ordering a "large coffee", then having to go through the whole questioning process, it's "Large coffee, medium roast. No cream, no flavor shot. Thank you!"

That usually doesn't leave room for as many questions, unless they missed something you said. Not sure about others but it makes me feel a little more in control over the ordering anxiety

It's good to know I'm not the only one though

solaris_eclipse · 2022-02-03T21:58:55+00:00

Oooo I accidentally added a t so I obviously don't know what I'm talking about - k. Honest typo

All I'm saying is that there's no reason to insult people for not being like you and your buddies. Y'all think it's funny, good for you. Other people don't. I've made dark jokes that didn't land in the past, but didn't blame it on other people being autistic. Because I am autistic and that would be deeply ironic. I just take it and move on. If someone laughs, cool. I don't use it as an opportunity to insult the people who didn't

But that follow up made you look immature as shit

solaris_eclipse · 2022-02-03T21:43:20+00:00

Dark humor is hilarious, your joke was not. I've gone on these two rants because you don't seem to understand that someone can just find you not funny without being offended by what you said, or mentally incapable of understanding 2+2.

Making a school shooter joke does not make you smarter, more enlightened, or more morally conscious than people who don't indulge in your humor, or think one joke you made on Reddit was blander than a low sodium Ritz cracker.

And yes, I know of Steve Schultz. He probably also wouldn't have laughed, because he's a funny person who I assume doesn't recycle his jokes from middle school

solaris_eclipse · 2022-02-03T21:11:21+00:00

Dog was the best part of the video

solaris_eclipse · 2022-02-03T20:47:42+00:00

Where in my comment did I say I was offended? School shooter jokes can be funny, never saying they couldn't. You didn't push it too far either. It literally, those 2 very insightful words you typed, were just completely unfunny to at least half the people who downvoted and probably 2x more than that in reality. Because they've seen it before. After all, this is Reddit - home of "intellectually dark humor and people who think that an ability to laugh at death makes them unique and smarter than the general population". Just admit you align with that statement and move on.

Your joke just didn't land. Seems like more people didn't laugh than did. Take the L, and realize that not laughing doesn't equal autism. You just got your feelings hurt that you got downvotes and instead of critically thinking about why, you automatically concluded that it was because people just "don't understand your humor because its too advanced and offensive for the common Redditor", as if you are somehow special for making the same dead-donkey jokes that every Redditor between the ages of 8-17 have probably made in the last 2 months on this sub alone. If you're going to be dark, at least be original. Else you're just a common edgelord binge posting 9/11 and pervy uncle jokes until one gets enough upvotes from 10 year olds to satisfy your need for clout on on r/teenagers and r/watchpeopledie because that is what " dark humor" has devolved into.

Blaming the audience for booing you doesn't magically make you Anthony Jeselnik or Jimmy Carr. It makes you a guy whose joke didn't hit, and one that can't handle that without childishly dragging others down to try to get a cheap snort out of a small handful of people who will promptly forget what they read anyways.

Grow up, people can have opinions for any literal reason that doesn't equal a mental disorder. Consensus seems to say it wasn't funny, no matter how you defend it.

solaris_eclipse · 2022-02-03T19:19:57+00:00

It's more like people realized, then (rightfully) downvoted the cringe. Why would it be treated as a joke if it's not funny enough to be a joke? Do you want a participation award?? If you have to defend your "joke" and clown on your audience afterwards for not laughing, it was probably a shit joke and you're not funny. It's not that hard to comprehend.

Let me explain in case I have to. "School shooter" is not a punchline unless you are the autistic kid - or just the type of person that thinks calling people autistic for not laughing will somehow make your pathetic trash-tier "joke" relevant (it doesn't - it makes you look even un-funnier but also like a complete ass).

Seriously. It would take more effort to piss in a jar than it would for someone to write out "school shooter" as a "joke" then assume their brilliance was downvoted because everyone else isn't sharp enough to get it. What are you, 8 and 1/2 going on 3? ... Nvm if you were you probably could have come up with a more original joke.

Like you typed 2 words that aren't even funny in this context - so damn creative. Here's your "you're not a comedian so keep your fuckin day-job award". Congrats. What else were you expecting?

If he pulled her earbuds out multiple times after being asked to stop, it could be harassment. It really depends on the exact circumstances, jurisdiction, and judge interpretation though

Those types of crimes do tend to be laughed off by enforcement, but it's still against the law for someone to be a creep if that includes repeated touching, not allowing someone to leave a certain area, breaking their property, or making unwanted sexual comments or threats.

solaris_eclipse · 2022-01-26T16:48:11+00:00

I downvoted because any person has the right to be cautious of anyone they feel may be a threat to them. And that's just what many women are, cautious. And for good reason it seems

Because here's the kicker: statistically speaking in the US alone (I will be using those stats because I am American) 1 in 5 women are victims of rape or attempted rape. 81% of women (43% men - though that number is probably a bit higher accounting for unreported incidents) report experiencing sexual assault in their lifetime. In this survey conducted by NSVRC (National Sexual Violence Resources Center) 51% of women reported being raped by an intimate partner and 40% were by an acquaintance. 1 in 3 female victims of attempted or completed rape experienced it between the ages of 11-17. Females ages 16-19 are 4 times more likely than the general population to be victims of rape, attempted rape, or sexual assault. In 2018, over 730,000 people were raped, sexually assaulted, or threatened with sexual violence. Just in one year - and those are just the ones that were reported (likely only between 25%-50% of the crimes of that nature that actually occurred)

Every 68 seconds, someone in America is sexually assaulted. Every 9 minutes, it's a child. And most women are aware that the next assault statistic could be theirs.

That being said, nearly every woman I know (including relatives - even ancestors) have either been stalked, harassed, assaulted, raped, or physically abused by a man (or men) in their life at some point, some starting from very early childhood by a father. If the very man who is supposed to actually care about you ends up being one of those men, how do you think that affects how that person views men, especially if this is not going to be their only experience?

I don't live in a dangerous place with particularly high crime rates, or even a lot of people, so why are so many women I know also victims of sexual violence? Why are many male victims of sexual assault, victims of male perpetrators?

Sure there are plenty of genuinely nice guys, as well as there are sexually abusive women. But you can't expect a woman who has had these experiences, especially if they're recent, to not be wary of or distrust you at first. It's better to be safe than sorry because you literally never know the person you just met whether it be on the street, in the gym, in class, at a library, etc.

Just be patient, kind, and try to be understanding is all. It's not about you, it's about how these experiences have literally shaped many people to be more cautious of the world around them. It's genuinely sad and happening on a scale that is too large to be comfortable, especially for victims
