My current job is WFH, so no one would know or care. But I previously had a safety sensitive job that held us to either the same or higher standards as the federal Dept of Transportation. They were so strict that we had posters advising against drinking kombucha at lunch or using pure CBD products at all. My SO at the time had a CBD balm that I would put gloves on to help apply because I didn’t want to risk it. The company said that while these products were likely fine, if an accident or something happened and we had to then take a drug test, any registerable amount would be grounds for immediate dismissal with no recourse.

It was for the articles!

What?!?

Basically this

On the one hand, I agree with Dinklage - typecasting little people sucks. They are legitimate actors that deserve to have roles that aren’t just about their appearance.

On the other hand - Dinklage has made it big. He has paid his dues and sacrificed and now doesn’t have to worry whether he can pay next month’s rent, but most little people actors (or even actors in general) don’t have that luxury. By bullying Disney to change the cast, he cost 7 other actors a job that, considering it’s Disney, might have been a big break.

THAT’S MY PURSE … I DON’T KNOW YOU!

But for reals, good for them. Self defense is a great skill to have, and hopefully they never have to use it.

While you’re right, I’m not even that pessimistic about community notes. The big issue I see is time. How many impressions is something going to get before the community notes pop up? 10,000? 100,000?

A lie can travel halfway around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes.

Jonathan Swift uh… Mark Train uh… Churchill oh, fuck if I know

He did?!?

Similar to @SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone I want to use an old laptop to create a Jellyfin + arr server.

Also want to build a workbench for myself in the garage.

And because everyone’s glob of neurons is independent from each other, we have no way of conclusively determining if everyone’s glob interprets things the same way.

My biggest problem with Discord is it’s a walled garden. So much info that’s inaccessible to the rest of the world.

Likely multiple screenshots stitched together.

I mean, at least the top comments are calling it out. Still bullshit, though.

Nope, just a dude on Fox News with some military experience. Square jaw, talks tough, so of course Trump loved him. From a collection of CBS News articles:

Hegseth was valedictorian at Forest Lake High School in Minnesota and attended Princeton University, where he played basketball. From there, he joined the Minnesota National Guard and later the Army National Guard. He was sent abroad three times, as part of a security platoon at Guantanamo Bay, an infantryman in Iraq and counterinsurgency instructor in Afghanistan. Hegseth does not have senior military or national security experience.

.

Co-host of Fox News Channel’s “Fox & Friends Weekend,” Hegseth has been a contributor to the network for a decade. He developed a friendship with Trump through the president-elect’s regular appearances on the show. In a statement, a Fox News spokesperson complimented Hegseth’s military knowledge, saying his “insights and analysis especially about the military resonated deeply with our viewers.”

.

He’s also written a number of books, several for the network’s publishing imprint, including “The War on Warriors: Behind the Betrayal of the Men Who Keep Us Free.” In announcing Hegseth as his pick, Trump complimented that book, noting its “nine weeks on the New York Times best-sellers list, including two weeks at NUMBER ONE.”

Exactly. Same energy as worrying about Earth being hit by a gamma ray burst - 🤷‍♂️

No idea about the comics.

I’ve never read it, but multiple friends have told me the Thrawn series is great.

I have read and can highly recommend the Darth Bane series.

Well, fuck.

Thank you for the info. Edited.

I was in a store on Saturday that already had Valentine’s Day and Easter stuff out. Long gone are the days of stores having extra stock after a holiday that goes on clearance. Now they plan it so they sell out a week before so they can rotate in the new stuff.

I discovered Ventoy a week ago and it’s fucking amazing. So much time and hassle saved. it seemed amazing, but I had no idea about the security concerns others have pointed out. My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined.

The city could add/extend zebra stripes at an angle to meet the curb at the beg button. Not the most elegant solution, and doesn’t fix the fact that it’s poorly designed in the first place, but…
