My father passed in '21 we just got his headstone put in. $3700 and that was because we buried him in a private cemetery that belongs to my church and they don’t have any INSANE requirements. We had to wait 8 months for the granite stone to come in from MFing Italy.

My boss’s father passed and they buried him in a more… Conglomerate let’s call it, cemetery and they had to buy the headstone specifically from their own people. Cost them 10k about!

It’s such a freaking racquet!

because after the buttons I am going to include a bunch of AI-generated copy from Google’s Gemini in order to pad this thing out.

Welcome to 2024 people!

O! So we don’t have to do anything: said every airline ever.

Monkey. Torture. Enthusiast.

Never thought I’d see those words together in a row.

It also regulates sugar and can be used as an alternative to insulin in many cases. The fact that it slows down the digestive process to make you feel like you’re still full is a side effect compared to the sugar regulation.

That’s why people take ozempic.

Also what you said is incredibly stupid.

mechoman444 ,

$1500. That’s how much eight weeks of ozempic costs for me if I had to pay out of pocket.

Oppenheimer was not as good as it was made out to be.

The plot was muddy and jumped around between multiple time periods and the dialogue was confusing at shit.

Cinematography and acting was beyond amazing though.

mechoman444 ,

You can’t prove the other person’s opinion on the movie is wrong just by saying you personally liked the movie.

I wasn’t confused because I had a hard time understanding the plot or science behind it it was confused because the plot was convoluted. It jumped around from time period to time period and often I wasn’t sure when anything was even taking place.

The only reason I was able to understand and keep up with the plot is because I already have a good understanding of that time period the science and the Manhattan Project in general.

And I’ve said it a dozen times and I’ll say it again just because someone likes something doesn’t make that thing good! People like shitty music, I like shitty music but it’s still shitty music!

mechoman444 ,

Of course. And in Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction it works extremely well. But here not so much. Unfortunately.

mechoman444 ,

The success of the movie is completely irrelevant in context to this discussion.

Just because you found it easy to follow along personally doesn’t mean that the person that you’re responding to is incorrect in this assessment of the movie.

You cannot prove that his opinion is wrong just because you like the movie.

I am asserting, in fact, that the movie had a convoluted and muddy plot, which it did because it was nonlinear. The plot was not handled well and it made the entire movie relatively difficult to watch. Your personal pontification on how much you enjoyed the movie is by definition anecdotal evidence which, as you stated demonstrably falls apart as evident.

mechoman444 ,

Let me try and make this very clear to you the plot and story of the movie was disjointed obtuse muddy and confusing because of the nonlinear structure of it. That is what I’m asserting I am stating it as fact that is objective.

I have cited several movies in previous comments that handle a nonlinear story structure much better than Oppenheimer did such as Reservoir dogs and Pulp Fiction.

Aside from your own personal anecdotal opinion about how much you found the movie to be easy to follow do you have anything to refute my statement?

Please look up the definitions to the $10 words you’re using in your $1 sentences.

And best of all, Oppenheimer won an academy award for best director, best adapted screenplay, best editing- basically any criteria associated with your “critiques”. You don’t have to take my word for it, you can defer to much better film critics than either of us.

And Obama won a nobel Peace prize while bombing several Middle Eastern countries.

What the Academy Awards do is beyond useless. They can be disregarded completely as though they don’t exist.

Moreover, Oppenheimer is the kind of derivative schlock most modern film critics will praise because they got their masters in Spanish literature and they think they know what a good storry is.

mechoman444 ,

“film experts” lol!

They don’t need money to survive, they just need exposure which is what Spotify provides them. Musicians can survive indefinitely on nothing but praise cocaine and exposure.

So I was a teenager in the early 2000s and many, many of my teenage classmates including myself had jobs. Some full time some part time.

Personally I worked at a paper mill from the age of 15 until I moved out of state.

But the minimum age was 14 to be able to work at that time.

I’ve just been seeing a lot of posts like this indicating young teenage children working and I don’t see why this is all of the sudden an issue?

mechoman444 ,

Deportation the hell are you talking about?

If the company is hiring illegal underage immigrants they themselves are breaking the law.

Moreover even though they might be illegal underage immigrants they still have protections under us law child labor laws don’t change due to your status as an individual in the United States.

mechoman444 ,

I guess the point I’m trying to make is that teenagers have always been working this isn’t a new phenomenon that has just now started to happen regardless of how many teenagers are working even if that number has increased.

I’ve seen some legislation in recent years where they dropped the minimum wage to work down which I don’t agree with but other than that where’s the problem here that’s what I’m asking?

mechoman444 ,

I see. Then I agree. That is something that should not be happening. Exploiting children of migrant families is despicable.

mechoman444 ,

Employing illegal underage migrant workers is definitely a problem and needs to be addressed.

And I’m not angry not sure why you interpreted my comment in that capacity.

I simply posed a question why employing teenagers has suddenly become an issue. Apparently people found my question offensive and assumed a position that I don’t hold.

My question wasn’t directly commenting on the article cited in this post but was in general since I have seen multiple posts indicating that more companies are employing more teenage workers not necessarily illegal migrant workers.

My question is why is this suddenly a problem since employing teenagers has been something that has been going on in this country since its conception.

mechoman444 ,

Ever heard of a false equivalency? Because your above statement is a text book definition.

Also go fuck yourself for inferring that I somehow support slavery and for comparing legally employing teenagers and compensating them for their labor to buying, selling and torturing human beings and making them work for free.

(I understand that the company in the post was illegally employing underage migrants. I’m making a general statement concerning the entire teenage work force in American.)

There’s nothing wrong with employing teens within a set of standards and reason.

mechoman444 ,

Ya. Most vacation rentals will have Internet like this. They don’t want you pirating or downloading potentially illegal materials.

It’s enough to watch Netflix and Google shit and that’s about it.

mechoman444 ,

Sometimes it is. Depends on what Netflix is doing. But you’re right, I usually just use my own hotspot when traveling.

mechoman444 ,

Lol. Let them. There is no such thing as a chem trail

They might as well ban unicorns or Bigfoot

I was about to ask why she would do such a thing but then I remembered to my dismay that asking why mtg does shit is like asking a flat earther why they think the earth is flat.

Trump urges US Supreme Court to endorse 'absolute immunity' for ex-presidents (www.reuters.com)

Donald Trump on Tuesday filed a U.S. Supreme Court brief in his bid for criminal immunity for trying to overturn his 2020 election loss, arguing that a former president enjoys “absolute immunity from criminal prosecution for his official acts.”...

Just like an good oligarch dictator would.

Onlyfans is an oddity wrapped in an enigma. Not only is there a ton of free porn + all the porn one can torrent but there are dozens of free cam sites out there. I mean dead free! One can watch thousands of nude models nonstop.

There should be no reason to pay for onlyfans. Ever.

mechoman444 ,

Wtf is a gaming sound card!

mechoman444 ,

They sell cats at Walmart?

mechoman444 ,

Yes. But to be fair they would have ended up there anyway.

mechoman444 ,

That’s right. What’s important is TikTok and Chinese interests of course. /S

That last line got to me, I can’t stop laughing!

Trained, in this context is such a strong word.

How does employing a rapist not constitute an unsafe work environment for female employees?

So I just discovered that I have been working next to the waste of oxygen that raped my best friend several years ago. I work in a manufacturing environment and I know that you can’t fire someone just for being a sex offender unless it directly interferes with work duties (in the US). But despite it being a primarily male...

mechoman444 ,

Look. I get it. But, understand the only reason you feel that way is because you haven’t committed a crime severe enough for you to do any significant time.

Recidivism for rape is 13% to 35% Link to source

I would seriously recommend checking your privilege on this one.

mechoman444 ,

The fear of criminals committing crimes after incarnation is irrational and unfounded. For example murder has the lowest residencism rate of any crime followed by possession of underage porn. Two extreme and serious crimes.

Moreover, there are on average two million people incarcerated in the United States at any given time. That means a large portion of the American population are ex-fellons. Chances are you’ve been around felons of serious crimes on a daily basis and you’d never even know.

Fear mongering about some made up issues like rapists and murders working and living in our society is completely unfounded and irrational.

Take the sex offender registry, it has done absolutely nothing to deter sex crimes and is generally disliked in law enforcement due to its uselessness.

OPs feelings are valid in the same sense that a racist’s feelings are just as valid about how much they hate minorities. Just because a feeling is valid doesn’t make it right.

So, I’ll say it again. The only reason you and op feel this way is because you’re probably not felons, therefore check your privilege.

mechoman444 ,

Preferably but negotiable.

Why is it remotely relevant that she worked for wells fargo?

mechoman444 ,

Look at the gauge of that needle. That shit will hurt like hell!

The only correct answer to this question is yes.

Well how the fuck are they supposed to drive when car payment at 500+, gas is 3+ a gallon and car insurance is 1500 per premium! Not to mention potential repairs.

I make 80k a year and I can barely afford my car!

HEY!!! Get your science and facts out of here!

Piracy has changed so much. Back when people were making the transition from p2p to torrents there was very little if any streaming sites.

Nowadays if you sneeze hard enough you’re bound to spray down some big name streaming service.

Now there are even whole front ends that allow you to stream whatever you want anytime you want even on a little, but very powerful handheld computer.

I would say that 12% is more on the low end. If you were to factor in ad blocking and the various front ends I mentioned earlier I could see that number going up much higher.

mechoman444 ,

I can’t believe you even have to ask.
