DOOM CAPTCHA 2 years ago

Game loads on firefox desktop, but is a black screen. Debug didn't show anything out of the ordinary. loads fine on Chrome though.

I lived in east Oakland for awhile, I'm pretty sure that driving stolen cars and torching them afterward don't give a fuck about auto insurance rates. The people who are driving like that on the 580 or @ 90th & Bancroft probably are uninsured as is.

Do you really think everyone is just insured because it's the law? If so, you're fairly naive. Try leaving the bubble you live in now and then. Oakland cops stopping responding to anything less than murder at lot sooner than 2020 lmao.

I always conceded that Google would have this data, I always told myself you have to trust someone eventually. There was an implicit agreement that they would go to bat if the government came knocking for it. I see now that was a naive perspective on my part. They spent years just handing it over.

anecdotal evidence is what I usually base my purchases on, which is why I've never bought a Google device after being burned (literally) by the Nexus 6P battery issues.

you can pretend it doesn't matter, but bad word of mouth is all it takes for me.

The Cold War never ended and criticism of Russia is not criticism against Russians.

If the Cold War was truly over when the wall fell, we'd have welcomed Russia into NATO. That would have been a huge mistake, as Russia has proven to be antithetical to democracy and an aggressor against the interests of the West, despite dressing up in its skirt.

Instead we've engaged in proxy war after proxy war with very little changing in the best part of 40 years or so. That's no accident.

Suggesting otherwise IMO is to take talking points from the mouth of the Kremlin. I get tired of the "Russia is being bullied by the mean ol' United States" narrative, they're malignant and hostile. I think you're right to raise this point.

You're absolutely right, it's not a report. It's a press release.

I did dig and found another news article about the anecdote included.

It looks like there is a discrepancy between State and Federal law, so the employers may indeed be acting in a twisted version of good faith. Despite the fact that Federal law supersedes state law. [2] https://www.shrm.org/topics-tools/news/all-things-work/child...

I'm not implying regulations are the fix, I just think it's a little fucked up.

Looks like the current stats are focused more on the 69% increase from '19 to '22 in illegally employed children across the US. [1] (https://www.dol.gov/newsroom/releases/whd/whd20220729)

Actually, that report includes a few examples of children killed on the job. Like a 16 year old who died while working in construction, he fell about 160 feet to the ground after trying to jump from a roof to a nearby powered lift. In Nashville. [2] (same link as [1])

It also details the rise in children being employed to do hazardous labor.

Killed in sawmills is a bit of hyperbole, but it's not far off from the truth it seems.

For me, death metal is like...black coffee.

Bitter at first, but eventually you learn to appreciate the unique experience for what it is, and then you start drinking it all the time.

You start trying to tell others about your experience, but only other black coffee drinkers seem to understand, and you sound insane to people who have tried black coffee and hated the bitter taste.

Don't tie your self-worth to your employment status. You're putting extra pressure on yourself, you can't control the hiring process. All you can control is whether or not you're putting your best effort forward and actively looking for work to the best, and I mean the best, of your ability.

Do not beat yourself up, and do not feel sorry for yourself. These are traps that will damage your self-esteem and could potentially sabotage your relationship.

Communicate with your partner. Tell them how you're feeling and get feedback.

It isnt censorship. At all.

Freedom of speech doesnt apply on websites. It's their platform, they call the shots.

Dont like it? Start a competitor and pay the bandwidth bill. Google doesn't have to allow misinformation any more than they have to allow someone being an incendiary asshole in a comment section.

I thought it would hit people how serious it was when sports stopped, movies stopped releasing, kids couldnt go to schools and people started scalping toilet paper.

Personally, I'm for it. You're already doomed. It seems cruel to remove hope from the damned.

Should we use the terminally ill like Guinea pigs, no. But there should be a path to waive liability and consent to experimental drug treatment in cases of terminal illness.

That goes for "off label" uses of scheduled substances too. If I have cancer and am on my deathbed, dose me with LSD please.
