Trucks are not permitted on Eastern Parkway, and big rigs the size of the one that killed Koonce are only allowed to travel through New York City on a handful of expressways. NYPD representatives did not say whether the trucker would be charged or penalized for driving on the parkway.

So the truck shouldn’t have been there in the first place, and “didn’t notice” they hit a woman? Man, too bad she wasn’t a healthcare exec or an inflammatory gov’t mouthpiece. Cops might’ve given a shit. Instead, it’s a little oopsie and the trucker gets a pass. We all have days like that, right? Hahaha. The daughter is left to set up a GoFundMe to beg others for money to cover her mother’s sudden funeral.

Terribly curious to hear the details. “Some hackers did something with some data and crippled a large car company” is about all I got out of that article.

I got $1 says they gained access by whaling one of the execs.

I no longer need to see the files to know Trump fucks children.

Huh, a bunch of Nazis getting together in a large, vulnerable group? Gosh, I hope the right person hears about this.

Glad to see I wasn’t out-of-the-loop. That’s what I figured, but the little callout in the wiki had me questioning.

Thanks for the sanity check

Charlie Kirk was shot on the campus of Utah Valley University while being engaged in a dialogue with an audience member. In the wake of this terrible shooting, I lost sleep. Frankly, I would have used my body to stop the bullet on its path to kill a young father and husband like Charlie at age 31. There is so much more that Charlie could have done if he had lived to his full potential .

Author spent the first few paragraphs talking about aliens, and then drops this drivel. I’m done feeling sorry for fascists. I will never lose sleep over the death of someone who’s made it their career to inspire hate and division. It’s absurd to call what he did “dialogue”. At no point was he arguing in good faith. He thrived on straw man arguments and racism.

Nothing of value was lost, and I hope his family is ashamed of the monster they raised. The world is a better place without him.

In case anyone’s wondering - Yes, this is the sort of censorship that’s common in authoritarian governments.

I enjoyed the first episode, and I’ll catch the others later when I have some time. There’s some awkwardness, but they definitely do better than I expected. It’s very much a low budget passion project, but everyone’s having fun & I found that infectious.

We just have it on repeat in another tab because hey content creators need revenue.

Righteous.

No remorse. Good shot.

A new physical, flammable headquarters, you say?

Abandon ship!!

Everybody move to improve the groove!

That was pretty standard for a while in web design - traditional “desktop” sites need a radically different layout when viewed from a smartphone, so from the dev side you’d check the size of the screen & redirect the user to the right subdomain for their device.

Nowadays it’s not really necessary.

It’s for training -

However, these planes will largely be used for transatlantic flights, and that requires extra training compared to non-transatlantic operations. So American is operating these flights so that check airmen (basically American pilots who train and certify other pilots) can get their qualifications, and in turn, can certify a bunch of other pilots to fly this plane.

Mmmmmm, taking the jobs only to turn around and sell 'em back? Fuck that’s some tasty capitalism.

You’d have to be entirely brainless to look at this landscape and think your hard work is going to “pay off” in any significant way.

That “hard work” gets milked at every job. Your “hard work” is just “meets expectations” on your quarterly review and that’s why you won’t see a cost of living raise this year. Maybe if you work harder next year? And don’t take any time off?

And then you see the billionaire class spending more money with a wave of their hand than you’ll ever see in your life. More than your entire community could pool together in your collective lifetimes. The billionaires didn’t “work hard” for it. They were born into it. Then you’ll see that massive waste of money implode at the bottom of the sea and wonder why people go hungry.

If you’re going to work hard - make sure it’s for yourself / someone you care about. Employers are here to take advantage of you.

So… if I have a date in Constantinople, she’ll be waiting in Istanbul?

still don’t think it stands up

How dare you. You monster. It was one of my favorites as a kid.

… but it’s a fair criticism. Game is mostly jank held together with hope.
