clockwork_octopus , in Central Florida is a hot spot for leprosy, report says

Of course it’s in Florida

SatanicNotMessianic , in Central Florida is a hot spot for leprosy, report says

I feel like there’s something wrong with Florida but I can’t put my finger on it.

Please don’t. It’s probably contagious.

That is not how I expected that sentence to end. 💀

huh, didn't expect that

the_itsb , in Fulton County sheriff says ‘we’ll have a mugshot’ if former Pres. Trump is indicted locally

Idk what their county budget looks like, but if they would set up a shop where interested parties could easily buy prints of that mug shot, I would cheerfully bet my favorite nipple that they will be running a surplus for a very long time.

Galtiel ,

I can’t take that bet until I know which nipple is your favorite

ZoopZeZoop ,

The one with the lucky mole on it. It’s lucky because it was non-cancerous.

elbarto777 ,

Thus far…

lolcatnip ,

I’m not so sure. I personally wouldn’t want a picture of Trump even if it’s a mugshot.

afraid_of_zombies ,

There might be another toilet paper shortage. Just sayin

doggle ,

Fulton’s a fairly major county, but every little big counts!

SeaJ ,

They just have to make sure they create an NFT of it so we know they own it. /s

afraid_of_zombies ,

How much for a signed copy by the arresting officer?

the_itsb ,

I think they’d pull in even more if the DA were signing them, but I don’t see any reason to not offer a variety of signature options. They might even sell some to Republicans if they do a Trump-signed version.

PersnickityPenguin , in We’re now finding out the damaging results of the mandated return to the office–and it’s worse than we thought

I think this is funny, there are a ton of jobs and careers out there that you cannot do remotely. Or, at least the remote aspect suffers.

Every time I read these threads 90% of the posters who are advocating for WFH are programmers who have $25k to drop on a nice shiny home office, and no need to ever interact with another human. Try WFH with a baby for 12 months and you’ll want to jump off of a bridge.

NuPNuA ,

Yeah, bit why shouldn’t jobs that can be done at home be done there even if other jobs can’t? Seems like a very crabs in a bucket mentality.

I can’t do my job remotely, but I would if I could. I don’t need to see other people forced in to the office just because I have to come in.

jackofalltrades ,

I am on my second child since starting working from home… Never been more productive, never been less stressed out…

Branny , in We’re now finding out the damaging results of the mandated return to the office–and it’s worse than we thought

With around 15 years of experience working remote-only, I will never accept a job that mandates a day in the office.

If the role isn’t 100% remote, it is not considered.

Simple as that.

MaDeX ,

That’s fine if your job actually is 100% remote.

MapleEngineer ,
@MapleEngineer@lemmy.world avatar

My job is 100% remote because I won’t accept anything else. I always ask recruiters if 100% flexibility will be written into my contract. If it won’t I withdraw my name from consideration.

Borkingheck ,

I’m assuming you have a set of niche skills not readily available on the market place that must make that easier to enforce?

icesentry ,

Pretty much every programming job can be easily done 100% remotely. You don’t need niche skills for that.

eldavi ,

programming is a niche skill; that’s why it pays so well.

devil_d0c ,

I don’t mean to be contrary, but is it fair to call programming niche when there are degree programs and tech programs (bootcamps) that are widely available? Plus, in some cases, you don’t need a degree or certificates, just a portfolio.

eldavi ,

Boot camps and training programs are popular, but the bar to professionally practicing programming is artificially high and it will remain a nich so long as that bar remains artificially high.

devil_d0c ,

… I mean… I went to a four year university and got a Batchelors. Now I work as a software engineer. How’s that different from any other career path involving a 4 year degree?

Borkingheck ,

If the skills aren’t niche and many people have it, it is easier for an employer to stipulate office work and ignore a candidate demanding remote work.

corsicanguppy ,

That’s like saying “being a lifeguard is only okay if you work near a body of water or a pool.” It goes without saying.

So, no need to state the mind-numbingly obvious?

Branny ,

Lots of people in the industries I’m in are still trapped in offices or have been forced to return in some capacity.

Lots of jobs can’t be done remotely, and I make it a priority to learn enough to avoid them.

MicroWave OP , in Man claiming to be a missionary accused of blowing $40M in Bible donations
@MicroWave@lemmy.world avatar

Instead of creating the religious material, Shenk apparently used the money for his own purposes. The DOJ claimed Shenk spent about $1 million on online gambling sites, purchased $4 million in life insurance policies in various people’s names and spent nearly $1 million on diamonds, gold, and other precious metals.

Burn_The_Right , in Man claiming to be a missionary accused of blowing $40M in Bible donations

He collected donations from the gullible to spread harmful fiction about an imaginary deity. We should let him keep it and let the imaginary deity enact the punishment.

Lammy , in Man claiming to be a missionary accused of blowing $40M in Bible donations

How is this any different than any church in history?

Etterra , in Pittsburgh synagogue shooter sentenced to death for killing 11 worshippers in 2018 massacre

I’m a firm believer that death is too good for such people. Death IMO is a release from suffering. Let the murderers, rapists, and molesters rot in a cell.

That said, if you’re going to insist on a humane death for these monsters, they should switch to hypoxia from breathing pure nitrogen. The injection system is too unreliable. Otherwise if you want it to hurt, just go back to beheading or something and just be honest about being a bloodthirsty bastard.

Georgia (I think) executed a prisoner recently and it took six minutes to get the IVs placed. That’s just cruel.

ryathal ,

The problem is there are extra requirements to make it look clean and fancy to witnesses while also being somewhat humane. Just snapping the neck is probably the most humane, but it looks a bit violent to witnesses.

afraid_of_zombies ,

There was a bit of an ethics issue a few years ago about this among engineers. The guy who designed and serviced nearly all the execution machines in the US died and he had a PE.

Supposed to protect the public. Are prisoners part of the public? No? Ok guess jails can just collapse in that case. Yes? Ok why are we allowing our ranks to help kill them?

Ultimately nothing changed because PE boards protect their own.

Authorities have yet to locate Shenk.

Heads up dude if you’re on Lemmy go into hiding
