- Comment on Is it wrong of me not giving a shit when cops get killed? They signed up for the job know what it entails. Same with Firepeople. I feel bad 4 families but no one gives a shit about Nurses or DRs? 3 days ago:
People’s intuition on risk is wildly off here.
Skydiving sounds insane, but in the U.S. it’s ~9–10 deaths a year out of millions of jumps (roughly 1 in a few hundred thousand per jump).
Driving feels normal, but it kills ~40,000+ people every single year.
So yeah—both involve “transportation,” but the one everyone does casually every day is orders of magnitude deadlier than the one that sounds extreme.
- Comment on A job's a job 3 days ago:
Walmart loss prevention are terrible. They are willing to die so Walmart doesn’t lose $35 worth of food.
I saw a police cam video of a woman who accidentally didn’t scan a $10 item. No big deal. I have been guilty of that myself. You get reminded to scan the item.
These L&P people called the cops and then the cops called for back up. They stopped the woman before she left and had her arrested.
No prior offenses. She had a baby with her (less than a year old). Just someone who made a simple mistake and would easily be fixed with simple conversation.
But Walmart L&P was not having it. Telling the cops to charge her to the furthest extent
Even the cops were like “Hey she didn’t do this maliciously. She has not left the store. She can still pay for the item. “
Walmart L&P told the cops to “teach her a lesson”
The cops were “nice enough” to wait until the baby’s father arrived to take the baby but the woman got arrested for not ringing up a $10 item
The L&P had these smug looks as if they took down some Batman villain. Giving each other high fives when this woman was put in cuffs.
- Comment on She is a "working girl" after all 3 days ago:
Not to sound like an ass but I don’t understand the whole “Anybody hiring? Need a job fast!”
I ask them about their tech stack because I have a number of recruiters who can’t find people.
They always tell me they don’t have a tech stack and would prefer something retail oriented.
- Comment on She is a "working girl" after all 3 days ago:
Yes. It looks like mine. With the gumballs on the ground. I read you can get a nut roller (Amazon $40) and roll the gumballs. If that doesn’t work, you can get a lawn vacuum (Amazon $130).
- Comment on "Born From Ruin, First Steps" (Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon) 3 days ago:
Is this game any good. I bought it awhile ago but I am reluctant to play it because it will either be a 1 hour and I’m over it or a time to play it all night.
- Comment on She is a "working girl" after all 3 days ago:
I have a sweet gum tree and it produces these gumballs everywhere. They are prickly and get caught everywhere. I would gladly pay $50 to get rid of them all.
This also reminds me of those posts on Facebook where some dude posts “need money quickly. Lost my job. Willing to do anything. Manual labor included”
Then I contact them and offer $250 to do some lawn work. “Appreciate it, but I prefer to work inside”

- Comment on MySQL has quesadillas? 4 days ago:
This gives me flashbacks to when I took over a small call center as there DBA.
Part of their data was in access, part of it was in notepad, and the rest was in a shoddy looking sql database.
It took me two years to get everything into a data warehouse.
But some of those queries. Oof

- Comment on OpenAl: *decides to shut down their Al slop video generating model Sora*. Everyone else: 1 week ago:
I used Sora to quickly develop a video for a skit or to see if something can be done via AI.
I used Sora as an outlet for my creativity. Now we have Veo and Meta

- Comment on Why do people call Fiji and Voss Water “Rich People” Water? 1 week ago:
Water from the hose is full of nano bots bioengineered to track your whereabouts.
That’s why I only drink the finest of bottled water
- Comment on Some of you had healthy childhoods... 1 week ago:
Oh man. This brings back so much trauma.
Holding the flashlight for your parents is one of the hardest things to do.
I have asked my son to hold a flashlight for me. I understand what my parents went through.
However when my buddy holds a flashlight, he does a good job.
- Comment on Why do people call Fiji and Voss Water “Rich People” Water? 1 week ago:
Fiji has that special water bottle with the special labeling. Even if it is “just water”, the packaging makes it look expensive compared to the other waters on the shelf.
I remember in high school people would buy the Fiji water bottles and fill them with regular water. It was a status symbol.
Voss does the exact same thing with their glass bottles.
Evian is the “middle class” of the water world.

- Comment on If Tyler Perry is a billionaire with his own successful movie studio then why are his films so bad? 2 weeks ago:
Tyler Perry is very savvy and knows what works and what doesn’t work.
His movies aren’t made for you. They are made for a specific niche who consumes Perry’s movies no matter what.
Perry doesn’t care if the public at large thinks his movies is bad. All he cares about is catering to his niche.
- Comment on Am I messed up being in my 30ish believe in Superheroes actually exsist? And we just don't hear about them? I just like to think that their is a person or persons out there.....q 2 weeks ago:
There are super heroes out there but they don’t wear a cape and can’t fly.
There are people with extraordinary talents that fight against humanity’s worst villains.
You may not read about their accomplishments in a newspaper or see them plastered on the news.
These talented people prefer to do their work in silence and are very humble with their accomplishments.
