Senior Chief Petty Officer. Starfleet is in my blood, and I’ve spent my entire adult life in service to boldly going.
Keiko and Molly are my favorite humans, but Transporter Room 3 will always be my favorite.
Just don’t ask who what’s in the pattern buffer.
To summarize the comment you are replying to:
“astronauts dying is a price Boeing is willing to pay”
“now pay the executives their bonus because, as executives, they are better than you. They also built this country by themselves with their bare hands, without help”
It’s extremely facetious, and pointing out that Boeing doesn’t give a shit about safety or the people in space, they just want money.
If you’re upset that lemmy isn’t trying to solve this problem… Well then I can’t help you there. This isn’t a place to investigate solutions to global problems or company management issues.
If you want to have one, by all means go make one yourself! unless you turn the speed dial to Plaid, it literally can’t be worse than the shitty job the companies are currently doing.
My wife has issues involving texture and trauma specifically at the dentist office, so I usually accompany her to appointments. So far no office has had an issue.
One time though, she needed to have those spacers put in her teeth, and she told the dentist and hygienist that she would throw up if it was in too long, and that she WILL bite down if there’s sharp pain, so use slightly more local anesthetic than normal and wait a little longer for it to work well.
They rushed.
She bit.
The moment I heard the cry of pain and felt my wife squeezing my hand super hard, I already knew what happened without having to look around anything.
I just said “And that’s why we told you to wait longer. You were warned.”
They were Super chill about everything, all things considered. I know I’d be pissed if I got bit by someone while doing my job, even if that job was literally their teeth.
As a regular cyclist who used to depend on a bicycle for all transportation, and who has been intentionally run off the road more than once, hit by a semi trailer, hit by two mirrors, and who carries a rock in the left pocket specifically to take out and hold for people to see me holding in the same way people hold bricks while crossing streets or puddles…
What the fuck no, that’s insane.
What we NEED is integrated infrastructure that supports bicycles, and physical dividers separating bike lanes from car lanes.
What drivers NEED is a company that actually cares about them instead of the bottom line. Amazon is the exact opposite of that.
Oops, accidentally transported a bomb into every IDF facility and Israeli government building due to a communication error.
Pinky promise it probably won’t happen again.
I always love when cough “educated” people (usually just what they like to say when they mean “not black”) go on about how “black people don’t speak proper English!” because certain vowels can be dropped here or there, grammar shifts, the works. Most of us have heard AAE (also maybe heard it called “Ebonics” if you’re a little older) at one point or another, and likely don’t have an issue understanding what anyone is saying. A few things that skew more metaphorical or slang words might slip by but you get the gist.
That’s the point of language. Convey information. If the information is conveyed, then language has done its job. Yay language.
If anyone wants to continue saying “it’s not PROPER English” well… I have bad news for you. Neither is any other modern form of English. So many words have been borrowed, or stolen, sentence structures have changed, entire words change meaning. And that’s just in the last 100 years.
English is an amalgamation of many different root languages, and has so many borrowed words and phrases, along with nearly every other modern language, can any of them still be said to be “proper”?
When I think of the difference between “proper English” and “improper English” I’m reminded of My Fair Lady. “The rain in Spain stays mainly on the plain” Eliza vs Henry Higgins (or 'enry 'iggins if you’re feeling improper)
1: holy shit that title is a… It’s something, alright.
B- if you spend extra money on top of normal costs on a game that’s still not even released, you get what you fucking deserve.
