This is where God gets to prove he’s real, and he’s on the side of the people. If it’s true, Venice will finally sink into the sea and become a legend, like Atlantis.
If that happens, I’ll finally go to church every Sunday. Hear me God? That’s what it will take.
He’s that 22 year old counter-terrorism czar.
Did he go to seminary school?

I took up guitar during Covid and got obsessed. Now I am buying up beat up old guitars, cleaning, repairing, restringing them, and reselling them at a profit. It feels great to take an old guitar that may have been neglected for decades, and put it back in the hands of someone who will give it a new life.
Every time I start a hobby, I end up monetizing it, then all the fun goes out of it, and I eventually drop it.
Reports are that there is no increase in radioactivity at the bombed sites, so there either was no radioactive material, it was stored somewhere else, or it remained contained.
Excellent response.
I’m just commenting to say that they’ve determined that there is no rise in radiation around the sites they struck, so either there was no radioactive material stored there, or they didn’t impact the sites as badly as they are claiming. If there was radioactive material, it remained contained. They may still have to rebuild their facilities, but they still have the most important element, the uranium.
Me, too. It wasn’t my decision.
Me, but that’s because Reddit permabanned me on the post- inauguration bloodbath.
In some ways I like Lemmy a lot better for things like politics. It doesn’t have all the puns, trolls, Russian Propaganda Farmers, bots, novelty accounts, etc., so while they are fewer comments, they tend to be more substantial. I can also mostly say what I think without getting suspended.
On the other hand, I miss some of the personal forums, which are far more active on Reddit. I’d like the guitar forums to be more active, but they barely have any posts. Most have weeks or even months between posts, while Reddits have a constant flow, every minute. I keep saying that I’m going to start posting content as often as possible, but I haven’t yet. Maybe I’ll start this week.
They aren’t innocent, they are knowingly creating a devastating weapon of mass destruction for a regime who has declared that they intend to use it. While I don’t support this sort of unprovoked attack, I can’t get too worked up over the demise of literally mad scientists.
I have a similar story with ex-partners, but not as long and convoluted, and also without such a successful outcome, but I definitely understand how dastardly ex-partners can motivate you to want to succeed without them.
The chance of a payphone being handy in the middle of a demonstration is pretty small. If you have to run a half mile to find a pay phone, then the strategy starts to break down.
However, if you want to try this, maybe The Payphone Project can help you locate the nearest phone. According to the listing for my hometown, it’s likely a campground or cheap hotel.
Yeah, the interest idea doesn’t make sense, especially since for most of the 21st century the interest on savings accounts has been negligible.
If it cost $6 on the $1500 loan, that’s most (of not all) of the interest right there, and it takes time for that interest to accrue significantly. It’s not going to happen in a couple of days.
If this was the scheme, then your ex-boss was no criminal mastermind.
Edgar Allen Poe laid out the rules for a fully satisfying revenge in his story The Cask of Amontillado:
The revenge has to be worse than the original offense.
You have to get away with it.
The person has to know who did it, and why, yet there’s nothing they can do about it.
Take away any of those factors, and it isn’t a fully satisfying revenge plot.
They first broke during the New Wave era, and were considered one of the quintessential New Wave superstars, along with The Cars, Talking Heads, Duran Duran, Flock of Seagulls, etc.
Their wives would be so mad!
“Glitter!? Again? How many times have I told you I to stay out of that strip joint? I hope you like the couch, that’s where you’ll be sleeping for a while!”
If they were just bounty hunters, with no ID or uniforms, and somebody stopped them, I doubt any judge would allow a case to go forward. There is no law that says citizens have to cooperate with violent, unidentified strangers.
Don’t forget, the State decides if it’s self-defense or not, and Self-Defense states tend to be Red. Florida has some of the “strongest” Self-Defense laws, and the State would side with these goons every time.
Imagine if you took $100 billion from any of these Goblins, they wouldn’t even notice it, but that money could fund homeless solutions (or any other problem) forever.
