For what it’s worth, you can buy blank refills for mole traps / nail guns at my local supermarket and they are in fact right next to the rat poison and air fresheners.
- Comment on America has a solution for everything 1 day ago:
At that range, absolutely. A blank will blow a sizable hole in a rat or mole. People die every year from the perception that blanks are “safe”; aside from any barrel debris or wadding that may be ejected, they are still completely lethal at very close ranges because of the pressure wave.

Worked pretty well on those mice. Shame about my house falling down because of all the bullet holes.
- Comment on They say you can't hear images. 2 days ago:
society has shifted away from that kind of representation of casual sexual harassment as being acceptable.
I think we agree? My point is that this movie does not depict it in a negative light, which is gross.
- Comment on They say you can't hear images. 3 days ago:
Having just watched an episode of the A-team, I think it’s that when these iconic vehicles are onscreen and ‘doing things’ they play the score. (I’m just assuming that’s true for the other two as well, it was true in other 80s shows I’ve seen and seems to have been something of a trope)
- Comment on They say you can't hear images. 3 days ago:
I wonder how much of that behavior is because it was viewed as acceptable behavior through things like its portrayal in this movie? Media shapes culture shapes media is an argument, but “it’s realistic” isn’t a good reason to perpetuate normalizing the behavior since clearly society has shifted away from that kind of representation of casual sexual harassment as being acceptable.

Fucking christ I’m glad I don’t live in the 80s…
They call it in, and Murphy decides to show Lymangood something interesting. They fly over to nearby Encino, which is outside their patrol area. At 9:30PM, Lymangood is able to observe a very flexible young woman doing some amazing yoga moves in the nude. Unfortunately, they are interrupted. That “abandoned car” they spotted earlier was not abandoned.

For anyone else confused like I was, these were iconic vehicles ads from some old and terminally 80s television shows (“A-team”, “Knight Rider”, “Air wolf”). Seriously, the theme songs alone are just… wow.
- Comment on If at a restaurant a guy is choking and I give them the Heimlich and accidentally break a rib while trying to save his life. Can I be sued? 4 days ago:
This is absolutely the primary reason why people are taught to do this. If they’re having something like an anaphylactic reaction, heimlich could complicate things or delay care long enough they die. As a bonus, it can also help with the legal repercussions after the fact too, but that’s secondary to its role in emergency treatment.
There’s another one that’s taught in the same spirit: if someone needs an epi-pen you should put it in their hand and “help them” inject themselves. As I understand it this one does also offer useful legal protection, since very few places with Good Samaritan laws have extended them to cover administration of medication, ut primarily it’s a good way to get nonverbal consent to treatment. Either you were helping them treat themselves, or they were so weak they couldn’t prevent you from helping them thus you were helping an incapacitated person to the best of your ability.
- Comment on I’m in a hell of my own creation 1 week ago:
Then you got dumbasses like me that can’t tell you’re trying to flirt with me and aren’t actually really interested in my boots. Like hey thanks you’re super hot - and now for a ten minute lecture on blake stitching techniques for platform soles!
I was at a show with some friends and wound up in a conversation with a girl I’ve had a crush on since I was a kid, which eventually escalated to her doing a full standing split against me with one leg wrapped around my neck while feeding me cherries by making me bite them off the stems while she was holding them in her mouth (gymnasts yo. Woof.) and I still managed to convince myself she was “just being nice”.

Is it? There’s only three units and a single conversion (lbs <> g)
- Comment on meal choice 2 weeks ago:
They’re a little more than twice that where I’m at in the US ($5/lb for hass, which are about 200g avg; roughly $2.25 ea) which isn’t too bad. Of course in more urban areas I expect the price will inevitably be higher.

- Comment on *Proceeds to append an exclamation mark* 3 weeks ago:
Credit unions really are refreshing (as much as a financial institution can be, at least). Mine’s utter shit, but they’ve still gone to unrestricted length ATM pins and options for 2FA / 3FA online access and they support FIDO2 for auth & transaction confirmation. It’s ridiculous how behind the establishment banks are getting.

Oh, duh. Thank you for making that connection, that was bothering me.

Rather a sad thought that there’s been enough pit massacres to be able to get them confused. And my apologies, I thought DDG didn’t do personalized results - wonder why it’s not showing up when I search it. For whatever reason, all I get are news articles about the recent FlyDubai plane stabbing
- Comment on RIP 🚽 3 weeks ago:
The Cuck Pit lives on.
In case anyone is wondering and was confused by the total lack of context in the DDG search, this is a meme reference to the Barbara Pit Massacre, a mass execution of POWs from yugoslavian nazi puppet militaries (NDH and SD) and, unfortunately, quite a few civilians as well. Their bodies were dumped in a mine, sealed off and forbidden to discuss until the ~90s.

Honest take: We’re trying to keep it going on fedinsfw, but it’s rough. We lost a ton of the OC posters that were also active users on lemmy when lemmyNSFW died, and now it’s dwindled to just four or five of us over there popping up like pool floaties in a little swimming pool OF agency accounts. The audience community has barely recovered as well; engagement is a fraction of what it was (and borderline overtly hostile to male/trans content) and that makes it really rough to get new people in, let alone build a culture that keeps those new people around to post.
Might be a little harsh, but the bottom line is if people want more topical content ya’ll gotta help put in the work to keep it fun for the people making the OC.

Yeah, the brief moment of confusion when you hit something using deci- or hecto- and you briefly have to convert to one of the common prefixes .

Mils and Thous are at least decimal, so that’s part of the battle right there…

I counted all of five (and only two I’ve seen more than 1-2 episodes of), which yeah that kinda explains a lot. I miss so many references in my day-to-day, maybe I should binge some things for the cultural literacy…

- Comment on Fact Check: **TRUE** 5 weeks ago:
Honestly, I don’t care enough to want to listen to how your conspiracy theory is different and totally justified. The epstien files are what one would generally call evidence. And even then, despite being jam-packed with horrifying evidence, it is apparently not jam-packed enough with horrifying evidence to satisfy some people; this is where we get lurid claims of satanic rituals, cannibalism, brainwashing and disposing of bodies in acid.
I am sorry the horrors the trump admin has wrought already aren’t enough for you, but they absolutely are enough for me. I don’t feel compelled to entertain conspiracy theories about how it could be even worse than we realize; wishful thinking about how cool it would be if xyz horrible theories were true is not a good use of our time. We should instead focus on the mountains of evidence going ignored in favor of dramatic yet baseless theories like this. The world sucks enough already - we don’t need to fantasize about how it could be worse.
