I’d like all of my news to be peppered with mild existential dread please. I feel seen.

I’d say 20% odds the babies never even existed—and, if they did, 70% odds there were fewer than 40 of them and 80% odds they weren’t beheaded.

“Violating international law” is pretty sterile/soft verbiage for fucking war crimes.

“Disrespectful of the dead to comment on the condition of a corpse”

Oh you mean like your original claim that they were decapitated?

He is literally crying in the picture though. What is this book of lies?

It’s probably just regular porn the whole point of this joke is the implication of incest from the commenter

It does extend the life of the device though. If your connectors/wiring/bulb fail anywhere on a single circuit flashlight (which most are) then your flashlight is dead. This flashlight has separate bulbs and a separate connection/port for each battery due to the non-sequential layout, so over time if any of them fail the others still function and the flashlight isn’t a total loss.

No it’s definitely about the flashlight more than the batteries. Most flashlights just have one connection/channel from battery power to bulb, and if this single circuit fails at any point then the flashlight is useless. This flashlight has four separate ones due to the layout of the batteries, and they each operate individually, so if one fails anywhere you still have 3 that function just fine.

I’m just talking about what I have seen personally.. the only argument I made is FOR wfh or did you not read that part

These companies are paying (now even more) out the ass for leases and property maintenance. It also harms adjacent businesses (like restaurants) placed specifically in complexes with other businesses. I’ve seen it in person, a mom and pop dumpling restaurant was booming pre-pandemic and now only does sustainable levels of revenue on the days that the nextdoor offices require people to come in.

On a micro/personal level I love wfh. If everyone was 80-100% wfh that might solve the insane housing cost crisis we’re in. Buy a home in montana and work for a company in northern virginia for example.

On a macro level I can see the concerns. WFH is the future but these businesses needed a period of time to phase into it. This particular economic climate is NOT conducive to a harmless transition in many cases.

The immigrant crisis around the globe is also at a tipping point. Climate change and corporate greed have fucked many places in the world out of habitability.

Immigrants aren’t going to stop coming because the alternative is a slow and miserable death or the threat of cartel governments. Now western countries don’t want to take care of them and don’t want to deal with them at all, because immigrants demand resources and we need all that money to hide in congress’ ratholes.

Well if we hadn’t fucking destroyed the planet in the blink of an eye maybe they wouldn’t all need to come to europe. If we hadn’t waged this stupid fucking war on drugs then maybe south/central americans wouldn’t need to flee cartel zones for fear of their entire village being beheaded and dumped in a pit.

America and Europe are only beginning to reap what we’ve sown over the last 50 years and we already want to throw in the towel.

Shit is going to get far worse, everywhere, imminently.

We’re careening towards the tipping point where the commute to my area to work will make it not worth it.

Jobs around here pay $16-18/hr and I have a couple coworkers who drive 1hr20m each way for that $16

Meanwhile rent anywhere near here is $1600/mo

It’s already almost unjustifiable for people to commute to this area to work, and you can’t live around here on the wages these places offer, so everyone is desperately hiring.

These retail companies are going to fold like a house of fucking cards. And honestly they fucking deserve it. These big chains enjoyed decades of insane profits without raising wages at all, now they have to raise wages for people to even exist and they’re still raising prices on goods to offset their new wage expenditures.

God forbid these corporate subhumans sacrifice 1% of their profits each year so that the entire economy doesn’t collapse.
