Libpurple had constant breakage due to proprietary apps having no incentive to keep their protocols stable. A lot of it worked easier then since no one was using e2ee either. Newer gateways exist in the space but it’s a real shame since for a brief time the earlier 2010s, most chat applications were using the same protocol—until they realized it’s harder to capture profits when the garden walls are lowered.

The only fear I have with this is that I’m not going to be able to bless the holy water quickly enough to make up for the volume lost. Also, there will be certain animal rights concerns that will need addressing before blood can be sourced.

zaphod ,

Just bless the oceans, ezpz.

robotopera ,

Holy water can be mixed with non holy water and it fully becomes holy water. Simply having a holy water tank that refills whether it becomes 2/3rds full gives you an infinite source of holy water.

mosiacmango ,

Just need to get the homeopath catholics involved. Just one drop of holy water in the ocean will mean that all ocean water is now holy water.

Simple and efficent.

nxdefiant ,

It’s even easier than that. A consecrated spigot produces holy water.

BruceTwarzen , to aboringdystopia in Being in the way of cars deserve to get you killed apparently

My ex girlfriend was like that. There was this piece of road when entering the city where pedestrians could cross the road. It was symbolised by some waves on the road (because it was over a bridge that's why i guess) my girlfriend would always yell at me or the pedestrians that we (in the car) come first. I don't know how true that was, she said she asked someone. And the conversation was always that i don't care, because i'm not running over people.
She would always accelerate or honk or yell out of the window. Congratulations, now you sit over there in traffic instead of back here. And you only had to endanger 10 people

if you cannot plainly see that this is the most retarded suggestion it is possible to make under capitalism, it can only be because you have paid attention to no world event since like 1750

the plastics recycling lie (it’s just been shown that plastics recycling does not work, can not work, and that the oil companies have known this, lied about it, and then made money selling additional recycling-related products since like the 70s) is so recent and yet still walks out there, with his bare face hanging out, and says this shit

Toast ,

I’ve never heard that plastic recycling straight up doesnt work but it sounds like something the oil companies would do. Do you have a link to a documentary or something about that matter?

PilferJynx ,

Basically it costs too much to recycle most plastic. It’s just so much cheaper to sell it to impoverished countries that will either burn it or dump it somewhere.

What's the thing with the acorn memes, may someone fill me in?

_lilith ,

cop got startled by acorn the other day and tried to murder a dude he had in the back of his car in response

ThunderingJerboa ,
@ThunderingJerboa@kbin.social avatar

Footage of a police shooting that occurred during November has came out. A cop detained a suspect who they believed to have a supressed gun, they cuff and search him finding no gun and put him in back of a police car. So the deputy was walking past the car when an acorn struck the car. He shouts "shots fired" and basically unloads on the car with the unarmed suspect while screaming he is hit. The other cops on the call also start unloading on the car and thankfully the person in the car was not hurt. So from the onset its a humorous story about a cop overreacting to a stimuli and we are only laughing because noone was killed in it (well I guess some people would still be laughing if it was deadly but probably less). The cop apparently was a vet, so this seems to be a case of PTSD and its not great that an officer was able to make it that far along while such a mundane stimuli was able to set them off possibly getting someone killed. Hopefully the officer in question gets the help they need but its clear they shouldn't be in that position at all if that is how they will react.

Rayspekt ,

That's horrible, how can a vet with PTSD get a job where he is allowed to carry a gun? That's the worst idea. Might as well let him patrol a loud and hectic arcade.

Thank you for the elaboartion though, banger meme nonetheless.

shasta ,

They have red and blue guns there though. It might trigger him!

MotoAsh ,

He never saw combat. It’s not PTSD. It’s LARPer’s syndrome, full stop.

AdmiralRob ,

Depending on what he did in the military, becoming a cop might have been the only decently paying job he was qualified for.

Rhynoplaz ,

Also appreciate the summary. I was in the dark as well.

catsarebadpeople ,

Really important to point out, PTSD or not, that police are trained to do this shit in a lot of cases and in the rest of them are not trained well enough to not do this shit. Police have been lobbying constantly for decades to make sure they have little oversight or training based on real world application. They’ve also made sure that they have no legal obligation to protect anyone but themselves. Cops have been trained to be dangerous to the public. It’s not an accident, it’s intentional.

I’ve never understood this thought process. Sure, getting some stuff out of their way makes sense (like getting shoes off the floor so the cleaners can vacuum), but why clean?

Kobol ,

It's called an anxiety disorder. shame and guilt and embarrassment

They don't want others to think they're dirty/unclean/etc so they do this. It's the same reason some people won't call a handyman to fix a problem, or go to a doctor/dentist, they're afraid of someone knowing they couldn't fix or take care of themselves.

InputZero ,

More often than not I suspect that is the case, anecdotally though neighbors of mine have a different approach. They are very clean and only have a cleaner come in once every two months. They also have an immunocompromised child so slightly different situation.

One time we got to talking about it and they said it was to clean more thoroughly than they could. The cleaners come in with the expertise and more importantly the tools to make sure their house is clean enough for their child.

The really good cleaning equipment is really expensive to buy and once you’re renting it it’s not much more expensive to just pay someone to use it. They are far more well off than me, that’s for sure, but they’re not rich.

Patches ,

What really good cleaning equipment do you think your average cleaner has? A steam mop?

Imgonnatrythis ,

Ever brush your teeth just before going in for a routine dental cleaning?

magnetosphere ,
@magnetosphere@kbin.social avatar

I just do that to be courteous to the dentist, so my breath isn’t gross. I know it’s still obvious that I don’t floss. I see what you’re getting at, but it isn’t quite the same.

lud ,

I just do that to be courteous to the cleaner, so my home isn’t gross.

ʘ‿ʘ

Instigate ,

Wait, do you go to the dentist literally just to get them to clean your teeth? As in they’re not checking for cavities or issues, they just brush and floss you and you’re on your way? That’s super weird.

I only go once a year for a checkup - they give me a clean as well, but that’s not the purpose of the visit. I’ve never met anyone who goes to the dentist just for a clean.

EurekaStockade ,

It’s more than just brushing and flossing, they grind off plaque etc. Preventative maintenance for teeth basically.

pixelscript ,

I believe your “checkup” and their “routine cleaning” are the same thing.

Lots of people (myself included) refer to it as a “cleaning” because, well, regardless of anything else, that’s what they actually do to you. I don’t know anyone who goes to a dentist just to have them look but they don’t touch. They clean you, too. That’s almost always the only physical takeaway effect of one of these visits.

Also, a dentist cleans your teeth in a way you almost certainly can’t. Their practiced hands know exactly what needs to be scraped away, and they can make informed decisions on what tool to do it with and how aggressively to not cause enamel damage. Not to mention they can, y’know, actually see what they’re doing in there. So a “simple cleaning” isn’t quite as pedestrian as it sounds. It’s not something you can fully replicate by scraping around blindly with a metal pick in your mouth.

flashgnash ,

I have never once been to a dentist and had them clean my teeth.

In the UK at least they have a look and a poke around, make sure you’ve not got any problems and send you on your way

Imgonnatrythis ,

Insert joke about British dentition here…

Patches ,

I am in the US and I’ve never had them clean either.

They bill you for that shit. It’s $50 for X-rays and poking around. If you want them to brush your teeth for you - it’s $200 and then they still want $50 for the X-rays and Poking Around Why would I pay that?

Cheesus ,

A few reasons I clean before they arrive:

  • They’re not paid great so I’d rather not inconvenience them too much and let them get into their next gig faster.
  • I don’t want them putting non dishwasher items in the dishwasher and potentially ruining them.
  • You will lose items because they’re organizing your place and will put stuff not where you expect it.
  • They tend to do a deeper clean when they’re not focusing on cleaning up the smaller stuff you can take care of yourself
