The “Praise Allah” one was absolutely real and many news orgs have written about it at this point. It’s pretty depressing…

Not The Onion@lemmy.world•Trump says US may strike Iran’s Kharg Island oil export hub ‘just for fun’English
21·1 month agoThere’s a part of me that wants to believe that Trump is basically a double agent meant to be so blatantly corrupt and awful, taking advantage of every system in the US, that it finally wakes the US up and to realize how fucking awful everything actually is, almost like penetration testing.
This is how you learn you’re colorblind.

20·2 months agoAs much as it’s not apparent in the way the majority of Christians act, if they actually followed any of the actual biblical tenets, they’d be pretty far left. While it’s framed through a biblical lens, Talarico supports trans/immigrant/minority rights (love thy neighbor, etc.), explicitly anti-wealth (camel passing through the eye of a needle), and is overall insanely progressive coming from a place like Texas.

20·2 months agoSure, I’m not saying it’s necessarily a good thing that we’re still using it, but recognizing and treating it as a serious carcinogen rather than something benign goes a long way to improving the amount of harm it causes

Nick Shirley, the “Minnesota Somalian daycare fraud” guy. If you watch him talk, or do much of anything, it is pretty clear he’s not particularly sharp.

6·2 months agoHonestly it makes sense. Most incidents are due to complacency with rules/procedures. A new guy joins and follows every rule to the letter, but more experienced people think "Well, I’ve gone all this time without an incident and bent the rules a little here and there, and it’s not been a problem.
You see it happen all the time working around heavy machinery. The new guy gets trained on the Limb Mangler and is absolutely terrified of it, so he follows every rule to the letter. The experienced guy has worked with the Limb Mangler for 10 years and knows that the correct process for un-jamming the de-gloving reels takes like 45 minutes and is a PITA, he also knows that you can quickly wiggle the jam loose with a pair of pliers and get it up and running without a stoppage at all. Everything is fine, until it isn’t, and suddenly you’ve got skeleton hands because you didn’t feel like taking time to properly de-energize and LOTO tag the system.
Also the title is literally called “The Staff”

Having also been in Colorado and being big into mining at the time, I can tell you that you would have sold when it hit the ATH of $1000, or definitely when MtGox happened and it halved almost overnight. I worked at Microcenter at the time and remember all the people returning GPUs after that crash. Everyone likes to think they would have held this whole time, but you’d have been a fucking greedy idiot if you had seen something so volatile, made 1000x returns and still said “Nah, I’m gonna hold”

2·3 months ago“3 months maybe, 6 months definitely” is still one of my favorite quotes from his timeline estimates.
It’s even worse because it’s not a man, it’s a transwoman. He kissed an attractive woman, but now he’s doing this because she was AMAB.
It really sucks that this is like, the primary plot point in the movie because as much as I love Jim Carrey’s stuff and Ace Ventura is iconic, it kind of ruins the entire movie for me now. It’s not just like, a painful scene or two, but the entire third act…
