Comments: yeah but other countries blah blah blah…
Miles O'Brien@startrek.websiteto A Comm for Historymemes@lemmy.world•Sad Baguette NoisesEnglish1414·23 hours agoYeah but you should know by now the US is a pile of shit for taking too long to get into any major conflict, but ALSO the US is a pile of shit for involving themselves in other countries conflicts.
Miles O'Brien@startrek.websiteto Programmer Humor@programming.dev•Interviews as seen by HR and the candidateEnglish511·2 days agoTo many people nowadays, the actual job itself doesn’t matter, it’s the fact that it’s a job and it pays.
Miles O'Brien@startrek.websiteto Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•I can't believe it's necessary to ask the question...English3·2 days agoThis is why there are varying carrots in my stew.
Some go in early to get that carrot flavor in the stock, which I like, but that makes them mushy and gross.
So I usually try and get the first carrots out before the potatoes go in, and then it’s kind of a guess on my end when to put more carrots in so they’re nicely cooked but not overdone.

The more they focus on trying to kill me, the less resources they have to kill some Palestinian.
Miles O'Brien@startrek.websiteto World News@lemmy.world•Held at gunpoint: BBC team detained by Israeli forces in southern SyriaEnglish3·2 days agoIt’s getting harder and harder to frame the IDF as the victims.
Similarly, it’s pretty hard to claim you’re the victim when you knocked your neighbor unconscious, dragged them into the basement, and beat them with a baseball bat for the next 24 hours.
Miles O'Brien@startrek.websiteto World News@lemmy.world•Held at gunpoint: BBC team detained by Israeli forces in southern SyriaEnglish8·2 days agoThe only thing that fully explains the deletion of the photos is opsec, though
“… without any assumptions, regardless of how plausible, bordering on certainty, that the assumption is” I suppose.

“if you go back to your country and post anything we will murder you”
Personally I’d just use encrypted backups or data recovery and post literally everything I could, possibly with a taunt calling out the coward who can only threaten people when backed up by billions in military funding and personnel.

Religious nut jobs, in my experience.

Shit posts make me giggle. I show her and she’s just confused.
It really doesn’t help when half the shitposts are star trek related.

Miles O'Brien@startrek.websiteto News@lemmy.world•Ukraine strikes bridge connecting Russia to Crimea with underwater explosivesEnglish31·4 days agoHonestly I was surprised it wasn’t pre-wired with explosives or some way to ensure rapid disassembly in case of invasion.
Seems like a no-brainer, but I’m sure that would be prohibitively expensive due to shelf life and stability of explosives, and maintainence for any mechanically coupled systems.
Hindsight is usually 20/20
Miles O'Brien@startrek.websiteto Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•Kid gave a reasonable answer without all the math bullshitEnglish7·4 days agoOhio resident for grade school, they did it at 4 different school districts across every grade.
Can’t speak for anyone else.
Miles O'Brien@startrek.websiteto Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•Kid gave a reasonable answer without all the math bullshitEnglish19·4 days agoOr teacher didn’t even see this, handed it to a high school student and said “grade this stack of papers”
I had that happen several times in science classes in 3rd-8th grade. Eventually I started arguing with the teachers in class, and boy did they not like being corrected.
Sorry Ms Avery, you not knowing that “Pb” is the abbreviation of the Latin word “plumbum”, where we also get “plumbing” from due to its use in piping in rome, doesn’t mean I got the answer wrong. To her credit, she looked it up and changed my grade before the end of class.
Ms hoschouli from 7th grade can get fucked though, a parallel circuit increases amperage load, not voltage load. I knew more about electronics in 7th grade than a college graduate who teaches science class, which in hindsight isn’t that impressive considering it was general science and not electronics specific… But in 7th grade, as far as I was concerned I was hot shit for knowing more than the teacher, and getting detention for calling her out in the middle of class. Never got the grade changed and I only got out of detention because my parents called the school.
Miles O'Brien@startrek.websiteto Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•Kid gave a reasonable answer without all the math bullshitEnglish271·4 days agoI once got in trouble with my math teacher for saying “well if we’re just making things up, then sure [I cheated on a math test while sitting in the front of class where the teacher can see but I was using some kind of hidden code on my t-shirt that was a bunch of Shakespearean insults] . But what about all that Crack you were doing in your car this morning?”
Apparently my "making things up"was a slightly more serious than his. I stand by it. If we’re making shit up, we’re making shit up.
For the record, this geometry teacher was convinced I was cheating in class because I didn’t do homework. Homework was 5% of the final grade for the year according to his syllabus, I hated homework, so I figured as long as I didn’t suck at the rest of the class, I could do 0 homework and pass. I was right, passed with a 94%
Miles O'Brien@startrek.websiteto News@lemmy.world•Supreme Court allows AR-15 ban in MarylandEnglish33·4 days agoI genuinely wonder if all the people I’ve had tell me Obama and Biden are going to ban all guns/they’re coming for our guns are going to have a moment of self reflection when the fascists in power come for their guns.
Or is it going to be a “only white people with no unnatural hair coloring and presenting as their birth cirtificate sex are allowed to have guns”
Miles O'Brien@startrek.websiteto News@lemmy.world•King of the Hill actor Jonathan Joss is shot dead in Texas during an argumentEnglish121·4 days agoIf you’re brown and nearby when some white folk get into it, you have a very high chance of “fitting a description” and either being arrested anyway or shot “while reaching for a gun” when you put your hands in the air.
Miles O'Brien@startrek.websiteto News@lemmy.world•King of the Hill actor Jonathan Joss is shot dead in Texas during an argumentEnglish2041·4 days agoRead the story and be pissed by how any news outlet phrases it in any way other than “this man was murdered in a pre-meditated manner after prolonged harassment from psychotic neighbors who previously murdered their dog”
Rorschach was right about one thing, people like this shouldn’t get to go to jail. Rabid Animals get put down.
“my car brain cannot fathom how such places can exist, where is the parking, why aren’t there more lanes???”
