yeh, I’d hit that

perhaps, but as a scuba instructor, I am tired of people saying the underwater sign language for “OK” means white power. Context matters. There still should be some effort to understand the intent of the sender, and not just assume the preconceptions of the receiver are the intent. Somone deciding a word or symbol I have been using for my lifetime suddenly means something else does not change my intent. When a Hindu puts a swastika on their house it clearly does not mean the same thing as when a Nazi does. When a spanish art teacher refers to black paint…etc, etc… In cases like this, I think we have enough context that the font and details of the symbol are irrelevant. It is clear what his intent is. If the guy did not share those beliefs, given what he does for a living, I would think he would be more careful about using anything that could be mistaken for Nazi symbology.

Verizon…manually go in every month to OK the funds come straight from checking. Been using the same account for over 20 years and it is SAVED on the Verizon site… Have plenty of money in the account, then one month it gets rejected for “account not found”. Bank says they never even tried and i hit re-submit and it goes through no problem. Clearly a problem with Verizon’s payment processing right? But they charge me a $30 “returned” fee and when I reach out to them they wont budge on it.

so my sisters Mazda MX-30 has more HP than my uncles Peterbilt 389? cool, I’ll use it to haul my horse trailer. define “more powerful”. Makes the point but XKCD usually does better.

no doubt. major pet peeve of mine, people enter a building (IE store) and just STOP blocking the entrance. I get you need to get you bearings but step out of the wat to do it!

highlander 2. people threw stuff at the screen (university town)…I don’t condone it, but i understood it.

that was the most wasted up vote I ever gave.

Toy Soldiers by Martika

this needed a trigger warning.

having been through this exact situation, I get the point of the meme, and realize their intent was that “doctor” should be read as “healthcare industry”. Just poor word choice. Other side of the story, the healthcare professionals that cared for him where wonderful and did everything they could for him and I am totally OK with them getting paid for their efforts.

as someone who has unfortunately had to use a firearm to protect the life of myself and my family, all I hear is “it would be better if you where dead”

it is illegal to bite someone. It is also illegal to shoot someone. unless you are talking about a tooth ban, this does not apply.

tallying up which side did what and who was worse really isn’t productive here

rephrased…“Let’s not bicker and argue over who killed who”. Serious conversation and that is what my mind locks on. Go figure.

suicide is painless.

they lost me with the casting. Bobbie Draper needed to be bigger.

dropped reddit, yes. For lemmy? Not sure yet.

punish and justice are synonymous… edit WOW bad typo should have read punish and justice are NOT synonymous.

I’m due for a re-read on this.
