It happens multiple times in Star Trek. They kind of breeze by it but Riker was so infatuated with his holodeck girlfriend when he was captured by Romulans they thought she was a real person.
Thing is, it never seemed unbelievable in Star Trek. Just, a kinda weird thing that people will do.

- Comment on White Maleman, cooking YouTuber, loves to tell you what to do 5 days ago:
A class of barbarous thugs with titles were rampaging around Europe, so in an effort to send them somewhere else, the Pope asked for them to band together to recapture the Holy Land. As these thugs were highly religious, the plan worked! The knights mostly left Europe to be slaughtered by middle easterners. It also backfired! A new group of noble thugs emerged, but these ones said they were there to protect pilgrims. This lead to extortion and corruption, and many of these thugs would go on to be slaughtered by middle easterners. And eventually they were all slaughtered by other Europeans when they became too politically powerful.
The given justification was that the wrong religion has control over a particular piece of rock.
- Comment on HR people smiling at you thinking that you are a complete moron 6 days ago:
A lay off is generally broad in scope. A department might get laid off.
Firings are usually with cause and individual. You are fired for showing up late every day. You’re laid off when they simply don’t need you anymore.
This varies from state to state across the US and probably only applies here, but if you’re fired with cause, you generally don’t get unemployment benefits. If you’re laid off you might get a severance on top of unemployment.
Particularly shitty companies will always fire as many people as they can prior to a lay off. A big part of HR’s job at these organizations is making sure they have a case to fire as many people as possible at any given time. If you’ve ever worked in any call center in the US, you’ve been subjected to this, knowingly or not. They’ll document a handful of even the slightest grievances and make sure they have two in the chamber at any given time for any given employee, so if it looks like they need to get rid of a lot of people in the near future they’ll start digging for a third infraction.

I work around forklifts.
No.
By virtue of there being a lot more of them cars are killing more people, but forklifts are far more dangerous, relatively.
More car accidents happen by virtue of there being a lot more cars than forklifts. There are about 35000 forklift injuries every year in the US, 90 or so are fatal. Of roughly 800,000 forklifts in operation that gives you roughly a 4% chance for serious injury from any given forklift per year. This does not include non injury accidents which, conservatively, happen at least 10 times as frequently. That would be things like dropping a load or damaging a safety barricade.
Motor vehicle crashes, and this includes everything from minor fender benders to fatalities, are around 6 million a year. Out of 285 million cars on the road that’s about a 2% chance per vehicle.
Forklifts aren’t capable of anything quickly. Less so under load. Loads are frequently unsecured or poorly secured. Unlike a car, they’re not only interacting with the road, they’re interacting with shelving, pallets of shit, conveyors, and the people around them, and the people driving them are just as likely to be drunk or stoned as anyone on the road is.
Of the 6 forklift incidents I’ve seen in the last 5 years, 2 involved a driver who was able to pass a drug test after.
1 was an injury, that individual lost her leg below the knee. The rest were all loads being flung in new and exciting ways, in one case throwing the operator forward out of the lift. (Standing lift). In all other cases that no one was injured was purely luck that no one happened to be nearby when it happened. Our facility is on the good end of the bell curve for forklift incidents. They’re much more common in other facilities.
- Comment on Cutting sucks 2 weeks ago:
Actively exercising only burns slightly more calories than just sitting around existing does.
CICO works to an extent, but human bodies are shockingly efficient machines. What you eat is important, why and how you eat are important. Losing weight and keeping it off can be hard.
Adding exercise is great for a lot of reasons. If you aren’t getting regular exercise you really should. But one of those reasons is certainly not weight loss. You might even gain weight.

So fun fact, Italy has stricter laws regarding what can legally be called cheese. Meaning for McDonald’s to call it cheese on the burger, it needs to actually be cheese.
The American singles McDonald’s uses in the US and presumably other 3rd world countries is reportedly 60% real cheese and a bunch of other crap. Which more than passes as cheese according to the FDA, which only requires 51% real cheese content to be labeled Cheese. Kraft Singles, America’s favorite American cheese product don’t meet this requirement, and are notably not labeled as cheese.

My sister is highly educated, and started her career doing medical research and got in to crime scene investigation. She ultimately left when she discovered the job she wanted working for the FBI was not nearly scientifically rigorous enough and didn’t really hold water scientifically.
She now sees a psychic, is entirely convinced it’s real, and eats up and parrots every single Republican talking point. Biden too old and dimented, Trump is literally the greatest man alive with decades to live. She even accused our mother of cognitive decline when she didn’t buy the bullshit my sister was spewing. My mother is sharp as a tack and there’s no family history of dementia.
On top of this, my sister’s idiot husband
iswas an executive in charge of international sales and literally lost his job because of the orange man. Still, God’s gift to the US in their eyes.We don’t talk anymore but I’m curious how they feel now, they also suckled on Musk’s taint.
Their ideology started with money. They only cared about taxes. Now they agree with anything anyone says as long as they start with lowering their, already generously low, tax rate.
