Rubber bullets are supposed to be skipped off the pavement in front of the people you’re shooting at. This reduces their impact and is supposed to make the bullets “less lethal.” These cops didn’t do that. Her maiming was the result of a deliberately aimed shot from a rifle.
The guy who literally embodies all of the Seven Deadly Sins “loves” the Ten Commandments.
It’s not the BB gun that got the kid killed. He literally put the gun on the ground and had his hands up.
It’s because the “security guard” is a stupid, trigger-happy moron.
The very first lesson you will learn from your very first job is that companies have no loyalty to anything but the bottom line. The days of guaranteed lifetime employment at a company disappeared decades ago.
It is long past time we got over our child-like worship of billionaires.
This. Don’t let billionaires gaslight you into thinking that capitalism is some kind of holy word. THEIR idea of “capitalism” is the 19th-century, robber-baron kind that benefits no one but themselves.
Lol. They left the placeholder in the offer. They could probably use a programmer.
But what about the billionaires? Who’s helping them out, huh?
No. It’s money. Money doesn’t buy happiness but it DOES solve 95% of the problems in your life that cause UN-happiness.
This is exactly the kind of economy I would expect out of billionaires who are trying to destroy the middle class and bring back Company Towns. This is what 19th century robber-baron capitalism looks like, not the kind you were taught by Elmer Fudd.
The scam involving the fake CFO was only discovered when the employee later checked with the corporation’s head office.
A surprise teleconference resulting in the transfer of $25 million dollars? You can bet your ass I’m going to verify that transaction by calling the CFO on his direct line before any money is sent.
Does anyone understand the point of advertising a game doing something that, after downloading, it does not do?
They’re called “lies.”
It’s propaganda. Cops have a serious image problem in the US so they cynically co-opted an American flag for their cause, figuring that people won’t criticize the FLAG, right? It’s a marketing strategy that only appeals to folks who already have a child-like worship of authority.
This. It’s a typical example of how conservatives are utterly clueless about American symbols. Like how they adopted Springsteen’s “Born in the USA” thinking it’s a patriotic jingle, when the song is completely critical of the USA. Just read the lyrics of the song for God’s sake.
But the only thing Goober Nation hears is “Born in the USA.”
Techtonica is early access and looks like it’s going to be amazing.
The real problem is old companies like EA and Bethesda releasing crap on Launch Day and expecting its customers to be its beta testers for the next couple of years while they slowly patch the game into a playable state. (Or not. Why should they care? They got your money.)
Slavery never went away. It just became more profitable.
The purpose of language is to reveal and convey meaning and thought. Euphemisms and euphemistic language are designed to control how you talk about certain subjects and consequently, how you think about them. People who try to control how you think NEVER have anyone’s “best interests” in mind but their own.
Don’t let other people tell you how to manage your own head.
If people don’t have the right to decide what their labor is worth, then they are no better than slaves.
The Yamaha YM3812 sound chip was the backbone of computer sound & music generation for almost a decade.
