HEY
- Comment on Has this ever happened to you? 5 days ago:
But even then, no one needs to ask you out on a date to do that. Any time you go out in public by yourself that could happen just as easily.
- Comment on Has this ever happened to you? 5 days ago:
I respect it, but i don't get it, and it would be a complete deal breaker for me. What do you think a person on a date in a public place is gonna do to you?

Hah yup, this is practically a deleted scene from The Warriors
- Comment on On Jeopardy, does getting the Who/What/Where/When/Why part of the response necessary? 1 week ago:
Don't waste too much energy on it, it's really not a big deal. I can totally believe that it happened but that it's not something that would ever turn up on a websearch

While hilarious, i can't find a trace of that on a web search

At least some of it goes back into the "extra pulp" variety of oj

- Comment on Is Star Trek Discovery that bad? 1 week ago:
Eh, it's ok. I'd definitely rank it below many other Star Trek series, but if you've seen all the better ones already then Discovery is worth a watch
- Comment on What would happen to the Earth if it got booped by a giant asteroid going super slowly? 1 week ago:
Ok everyone - let's say there's a gigantic anti-gravity machine attached to the asteroid so that it actually does hit the earth at the speed of a truck backing up. What happens to the earth?
My first thought is, shit would get real fucked up before it even hit the ground. A rock that's thousands of miles in diameter would cause serious gravity effects as it slowly traveled down to earth, like local tides would be completely fucked.
In terms of impact i think it would pretty much just F=ma equation. According to a few rough estimate numbers i put into ai, it says the object would have 2.4x10^20 joules of kinetic energy. To put that in perspective, the nuclear bomb in Hiroshima released only 63x10^12 joules

Being on an isolated island greatly reduces their interconnectedness with other species, but definitely doesn't prevent it completely

I don't think any of us do, i think it's just a photo of some random people

My dad has one that looks like that, and yup it still works
- Comment on If the UK government proposed to increase tax by 1% and make trains free would you be in favour? 3 weeks ago:
The tax raise should be graduated, not flat. It should be something like 0 percent on the lowest earners, .02 percent on the middle earners, and .2 percent on the highest earners
- Comment on Not trying to disparage first responders on 911. Why aren't nurses included with fire and police departments? Did we not take care of people on the backend of the rescuing? 3 weeks ago:
The difference is that first responders willingly put themselves at risk when trying to save people, and in fact hundreds of them were killed while performing their first responder duties on 9/11. No nurses (or doctors for that matter) were killed performing duties at the scene.

The burgers and everything else on their menu have all changed significantly many times over the years.

The burgers have changed multiple times over the years, along with every single other item they sell

Is it? The squirt at least seems 'fresh', the splatter seems like what's left after the act is done

Splatter - oh no. Oh no no
- Comment on Would you ever give up your right to leave a bad review about a company? 5 weeks ago:
But that's not the situation in this scenario. OP's brother hired this firm to perform a service, and thus this law should apply

- Comment on My brother got arrested for a dime bag. His picture got put up on the jails website. And they advertise. So shouldn't my brother get paid at least a little for providing clicks? 5 weeks ago:
No, absolutely not. None of your arguments hold any water. There are reasonable arguments that convictions should be public information, but not arrests. If anything, your arguments further prove that arrests SHOULDN'T be public information
- Comment on My brother got arrested for a dime bag. His picture got put up on the jails website. And they advertise. So shouldn't my brother get paid at least a little for providing clicks? 5 weeks ago:
In no way is that a good thing. A person should be able to acquire and publish their OWN arrest record, but absolutely no one else should be able to without their permission

- Comment on 4 things white people can do to start making the fediverse less toxic for Black people (DRAFT!) 1 year ago:
-
My argument is you can't tell the demographic identity of ANY person who posts on lemmy. Even when they supposedly self-identify.
-
Again, what you're saying here is radically different than what OP is saying in the 4 points they posted. There was nothing limiting it to "on discussions about being black".

- Comment on 4 things white people can do to start making the fediverse less toxic for Black people (DRAFT!) 1 year ago:
Again, total nonsense. I'll repeat exactly what i said in one of the comments you deleted, and YOU can tell me why it's wrong. On lemmy there's no way to know what race/gender/sexuality a person is. So, you tell me, how is any of this stuff applicable here? If OP was just talking about mastodon, then their title is completely wrong.
