The vast majority of the world voted at the UN General Assembly to demand an end to Israel’s unlawful occupation of Palestinian territory within 12 months, with 124 countries (64%) in favor, 14 (7%) against, and 43 (22%) abstentions....

Axis and Allies?

gibmiser ,

Oh shit forgot about that. I was in high school when we figured that out.

gibmiser ,

but the towns are too embarrassed to talk about it, but black people are eating dogs.

Is that a direct quote?

gibmiser ,

I like this therefore you must also like this.

Use your spider-centered language folks!

Cars are not a good example of what you are talking about. Deaths are much much lower than they used to be.

Ohhhh I get it. The guy hated the stress of Mondays, so he killed Prez Garfield, who is later reincarnated as Garfield the cat who now hates Mondays because they remind him of his assassination.

Why is Kamala Harris being held at such a higher standard than Trump this election?

It feels like Harris has to run a damn near flawless campaign just to BARELY beat this guy. Yeah you can bring up the current state of the country, but Trump mishandled COVID, there were over 200k deaths, BLM protest and was 2x impeached. And yet, Joe Biden BARELY beat him....

“See! She’s not perfect, so you cant criticize trump for any of his flaws or you are a hypocrite!”

All politicians are the same! Our quarterback is cooler than your girl! Go Red team!

The pessimist in me worries it will break in a storm then get paraded around as an example of why wind can’t replace fossil fuels…

How can I get a screw like this out? (sh.itjust.works)

I decided on cleaning my laptop fans today, which I’ve been procrastinating for about a year now because of this one screw. But I just can’t seem to open this with my screwdriver, since whatever I did back when I last opened it it’s nearly circular now. Is there a way to unscrew this?

gibmiser ,

Take the drill bit out of your drill. Open the chuck up all the way and place it over the screw. If there is enough screw head there you might be able to grab it with the drill and just unscrew.

Edit: looking at the other picture makes me think it is recessed and that wouldn’t work then.

gibmiser ,

My guy! Man what a throwback!

gibmiser ,

Part of a stress breakdown I had was caused by that mindset allowing myself to be stretched too thin at work.

New Grant? Boss we can’t handle that in addition to everything we already do!

A few months later - What do you mean we got the grant, boss?

Me, realizing it is a done deal and part of my new responsibilities - “iT Is wHaT iT Is”

Sounds like a perfect training tool.

Was it the first to allow you to look on the map to choose where you respawn, specifically on teammates?

Ahhh I’m too old for this. I vaguely remember it being a fake calculator app and instead some sort of messenger?

OK I knew something sounded wrong about this but couldn’t remember what

“Disney is calling for the lawsuit to be dismissed because her husband signed up for a one-month trial of the Disney+ streaming service years prior.

The company says signing up for the trial requires users to arbitrate all disputes with the company.”

Some lawyers truly are scum.

gibmiser ,

4chan wins every time. And that’s not a positive trait.

Do you have a form of government you invented/conceived, either as an idea or for fiction (or a favorite from someone else)? How does it work?

As kids, we’re told only people who go to college/university for politics/economics/law are qualifiable to make/run a country. As adults, we see no nation these “qualified” adults form actually work as a nation, with all manifesto-driven governments failing. Which to me validates the ambitions of all political theorist...

gibmiser ,

Part of one - inflationary tax. Eliminate most all forms of tax. Instead only way to fund anything is to print money.

Money earned through criminal enterprise, once found is taken and “destroyed” (excluding damages to victims).

Negatives that go punished reduce inflation and benefit everyone.

This is a regressive tax so it would require a very assertive socialist support system with liberal spending on jobs and education for poor folks.

No tax breaks for big companies because no taxes. There is no such thing as a balanced budget since there is no revenue, only things we decide are worth paying for.

Would require regular currency adjustments. Still haven’t figured that part out yet. Maybe every 10 years decide how many zeros to take off everyone’s money and have a process for upgrading paper currency while most will be handled through banks.

gibmiser ,

Word.

I spent ~$35 on new cables and my LAN speed increased 6x

After seeing that my wireless speeds were much faster than the speeds I was getting over Ethernet, I decided to invest in some new cables. I didn’t know it before, but I saw while I was changing them out that my current cables were Cat 5e. While putting my network together, I had just been grabbing whatever cables I could find...

Forest Service orders Arrowhead bottled water company to shut down California pipeline (www.latimes.com)

In a decision that could end a years-long battle over commercial extraction of water from public lands, the U.S. Forest Service has ordered the company that sells Arrowhead bottled water to shut down a pipeline and other infrastructure it uses to collect and transport water from springs in the San Bernardino Mountains....

Water mystery. Interesting.

I bet someone could make a hallway look like this with current tech.

How do I deal with feelings towards my sister? (Genuine advice please)

For context: My family isn’t the richest and we live in a super rural area. Our house is a small 1 story home with 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom. My parents take 1 room and I (14 m almost 15) share a room with my older sister (17 f) which can be kinda annoying. We also share a bed which is normal for us since we’ve been sleeping...

gibmiser ,

Yeah, your parents are setting you up for this.

You could try talking to your parents and asking for bunk beds like the other poster said, but unless you explain the attraction they might just say no.

If your parents are reasonable people I bet it can be fixed by telling them “ever since I hit puberty sharing a room with sister has gotten harder, and i really can’t share a bed with her anymore, i cant control parts of my body and it’s super embarrassing and weird.”

Not fun, but that should do it.

4channer must have got bit by a member of the royal family

I started reading, got about 10 minutes in before realizing how much there was. Jesus why do people think he is anything other than a hype man

gibmiser ,

Soon he will announce his new company, VaultTech

gibmiser ,

Thanks for that detailed info. Sorry the other guy deleted.

As much as we rag on koalas for being dumb as shit… they sure know how to relax

Embarrassed by how long it took me to realize it was not South America

Outsourcing emotion: The horror of Google’s “Dear Sydney” AI ad | The company suggests using AI to write a child’s fan letter and the ad is so bad that Google turned off comments for it on YouTube (arstechnica.com)

If you’ve watched any Olympics coverage this week, you’ve likely been confronted with an ad for Google’s Gemini AI called “Dear Sydney.” In it, a proud father seeks help writing a letter on behalf of his daughter, who is an aspiring runner and superfan of world-record-holding hurdler Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone....

gibmiser ,

So in the spring I got a letter from a student telling me how much they appreciate me as a teacher. At the time I was going through some s***. Still am frankly. So it meant a lot to me.That was such a nice letter.

I read it again the next day and realized it was too perfect. Some of the phrasing just didn’t make sense for a high school student. Some of the punctuation.

I have no doubt the student was sincere in their appreciation for me, But once I realized what they had done It cheapened those happy feelings. Blah.

Online gaming. They have friends or rivals in another state. I heard about a kid swatting as a service in exchange for money from his friends.

Love this guy. Quality information and just the right amount of snark

gibmiser ,

I think you underestimate the number of socially isolated or uncaring people who truly have no children in their lives

gibmiser ,

Chill. I was only saying that those people exist, not sure why everyone is acting like I kicked their puppy.
