Contextual Idiot

I hate how Via Rail is trying to call it “an inconvenience.”

A train being 15 minutes late is an inconvenience. A train running out of the sandwich you like is an inconvenience. This was a complete lack of emergency planning and care for the passengers. The fact that a diabetic person has to be rescued off the train is appalling.

There needs to be regulations brought in to stop any transportation business from being able to literally trap people like this all because they don’t want to pay to make it right.

The business will always only do what’s best for them. They’re becoming less and less afraid of bad PR. So we need to make them care again with regulations, fines, and even criminal charges when it reaches that threshold.

Who wants to bet Sony will shoehorn in a PSN requirement just to play a single player game?

Oh wait, it says so right on the requirements image in the lower right corner. Colour me shocked.

The UCP folks. The party of big government in control of everything. From municipalities to whether or not you can defend yourself in court or from the police. Gonna be fun for the folks sitting in an interrogation room praying a lawyer will show up while they’re being antagonized by the cops. They can’t force you to answer, but they sure as shit can make your life hell while in their custody.

I know this is likely highly illegal, but I wonder if these abandoned crews could seize these ships and sell them, even if only for scrap.

There’s likely some unscrupulous folks out there willing to buy them.

This article reads like a Twilight Zone episode turned to the “nightmare” setting.

I think there is, when you or a business is purchasing a complete product from another country. But if you are a Canadian company, there are no tariffs if you’re manufacturing a product in another country and then selling it in Canada.

I think.

Tariffs are too complicated, and I won’t be surprised if something I said is wrong.

I think it’s the description that’s confusing. These hackers are getting in and writing their own prescriptions from the way it sounds. They then fill these prescriptions at regular pharmacies, or sell the prescriptions for a buyer to then get filled.

Can’t read the whole article though without signing up, so maybe it’s something different.

Get 2 smaller stones. Put them down in front of the boulder. As you push the boulder up, kick the stones along with it, so that the stones would hold the boulder in place for you. Get to the top, and get hit by lightning from angry gods for your impudence.

The idiot who made this didn’t realize that their prompts were public, and got called out. The prompts were basically what you see in the pictures, not what they wrote.

Could you post the current rules for us to review?

I’m leery of visiting the instance due to the possible content there.

“fast coronal hole wind”

Is the sun farting at us?

You know, it’s exchanges like this that make me love Lemmy. This wouldn’t happen on Reddit, unless you’re in some tiny niche subreddit. Kudos to the both of you, a good apology and a good acceptance of it.

Please Lemmy, I want some more actual human interactions.

This should be illegal. Just more reason Americans need universal healthcare.

And I got all excited to play this, just to find out it’s only on Epic for PC. Ugh.

What platforms will The Expanse: A Telltale Series come to at launch on July 27? The Expanse: A Telltale Series is set to launch on Xbox One / X|S , Playstation 5 / Playstation 4, and PC (on PC, it is a limited timed exclusive for Epic Games Store).

And the wait begins.

No one can run a marathon on their first try. What you’re trying to do isn’t easy or simple.

You’re going to stumble and fall. You’re going to feel weak. And while they feel bad, they are also helping you build the strength to help you finish the marathon.

Pick yourself up, and dust yourself off. Remember how you feel today. Use this memory to help you say no to the beer. Choose to drink something non-alcoholic instead. Virgin pina coladas and virgin mojitos are good this time of year.

You are building the strength to stop drinking, even when you fail.

I’m now 3 weeks along my month of no drinking. I’m still deciding whether I’m going to drink again once the month is up, but I’m sticking it out until the month is up.

Minefield/mindfield indeed. It does seem inevitable that AI partners will continue to grow and evolve, eventually becoming physical. And I agree with the author that these AI should help people learn the skills to hold down a real relationship. I’m not certain it will work out that way for the majority though. Why give up what you have in the AI partner for the risks and challenges of a real partner?

Good work, you got this!

You can’t control tomorrow, but you can control today. And today, you can decide to replace that beer habit with a non-alcoholic drink instead.

I’ve been exploring “mocktails” these last few weeks so that I can still “drink” socially without the alcohol. My friends have been supportive too which helps. Perhaps this could help you. I’d suggest trying it with someone you trust around, in case it backfires and makes you feel the need to drink.

Here’s to today, friend.

Meditation when I remember to do it, but the real game changer for me has been floatation therapy. And combining the two by doing guided meditation while I float is amazing and leaves me feeling a high that lasts for hours afterward.

For those wondering what floatation therapy is, you enter a large tub of super salty water and lay down. Because of all the salt, you will float instead of sink to the bottom. The one I go to lets you control the lighting and allows you to listen to different sounds or music, or some guided meditation. I usually turn the lights off, float, and let the guided meditation relax my body and my mind.
