Families upended by school shootings share trauma in push for gun law changes, but get mixed results
  • Huh. I remember some laws in my state about knuckledusters and switchblades changing around 2017. Do you think courts would apply the logic from Caetano v Massachusetts to some of the oft-prohibited items, like 'clubs' and such?

  • They didn't come for just a particular style of gun when they had the opportunity to come for guns. Look at New Orleans during Katrina, and you'll be looking at the image that every person is picturing when they think of the government and its pursuit of guns.

    Why are there more nsfw content targeting men than women on every other social media I have used?
  • You're right. It's not just legal reasons. There are some neat studies showing that if two people under the age of 5 are raised in the same household together, feelings of sexual attraction generally don't develop later when you're sexually maturing. So the porn somewhat follows reality in the scenario of step-siblings being more likely to develop sexual attraction.

    Gen Z falls for online scams more than their boomer grandparents do
  • That's the big one with Gen Z that I know of. I can think of several that I know that fell for it while 16-22, but none that fell prey to the typical ones about your SSN or buying gift cards.

    Wyoming ranch accused of abusing children, unsanitary conditions will now operate without inspections
  • Holes sounds like a paradise compared to this place, really. No feces in the living quarters, everyone had a bed, and the only people who were really physically punished were the staff. I'm trying to think of the worst thing in Holes, and it was probably the implication of being left to die in the sun? Or maybe shot. I think there was a point where one of the staff members started carrying a gun, right?

    crave definitely...
  • Well, the easy choice is the right choice. Squat down, and wrap your lips around the pole as it penetrates the hole. You're going to be the grapefruit, honey.

  • Shoot, one of Alaska's biggest northern settlements, if not the biggest, is an oil work camp. Look up Deadhorse / Prudhoe Bay. The road up there is totally worth taking if you're into birdwatching or really rugged roughing it.

    disgusting....
  • Well, yeah, but in the reverse...

    "Boss hitting for 90% and sometimes one-shotting me in every fight.

    Me and mah boy paladins repeatedly hitting one guy and healing so that he stacks up buffs and one-shots the boss.

    Blizzard: Horrified stoner man"

    New York employers must include pay rates in job ads under new state law
  • Yep. That's why I brought up my comment. I thought for years that discussing your salary was a really bad thing, because so many people talk about how you'll get fired for it. Imagine my surprise when I actually read through those NLRB posters in the break room...

  • This is why everyone needs to talk about their salary. Shatter that idiotic notion about pay rate discussions being bad, because it only benefits the assholes at the top sucking every penny they can.

    On Being the Right Size (1926) [pdf]
  • I've seen that line about the "man breaking, the horse splashing" somewhere on Lemmy in the past week. I never knew it was a quote or where it was from. Neato. The fellow clearly had some interesting insights.

    Thanks, I hate it
  • That would be worse. Anime stylized faces do not work in the 3d space. I'd imagine we'd see a new trend of fancy molded art to match each car's look and personality...

    Ah, who am I kidding? Some exec will just put fucking smileys on the car.
