Who would win?
Yeah everyone is saying wafflehouse no question, but that's not true. The waffle house brawler is crazy. Dangerous. Likely drugged up. But the dude from dollar general has a gun. He wins.

Americans who say they drink alcohol remains at record low, survey finds

I only started this season of reacher, but that's ironic given that in the books reacher has no interest in drinking and only ever would buy a beer to be polite or get information out of a bartender and even then he doesn't really drink the beer

Google AI Giving Staggeringly Racist “Advice” About Being Alone With Certain Groups of People futurism
Reply in thread
Idk. If someone told me I'm alone with a British person, i wouldn't read an implicit feeling of discomfort. I would say, "idk, I think you're supposed to offer them tea"
I'm alone with an Australian. "Are they hot?" "Are you asking for advice on flirting?"
I'm alone with a Russian. "Do you feel safe? Intimidated?"
I'm a human with experiences that make these statements feel like they have implications, but a machine should give the same answer regardless.

11-year-old Texas girl bullied over family’s immigration status takes her own life
"It [the bullying] had gotten so aggressive, Carranza was meeting with a school counselor multiple times a week. Her family, however, was never notified."
What the literal fuck. The bullies said the bullying wouldn't ease up until her family got deported. She was meeting with the school counselor several times a week and the school didn't separate the bullies out? They didn't notify the parents? I hope people are held personally liable. Your beloved little girl taking her own life is an unimaginable tragedy.
The president is setting such a shameful example.

True Story
No but they absolutely do say, "Wow you look really pretty today" but have no idea why.
Men treat you nicer when you wear makeup.
The other day my coworker said, "you look different. I don't know what it is, but you look great. I think you've been getting a lot of rest" nope. Just wore makeup that day
My husband, many times, has been looking at me, admiring me, and complimenting me on how naturally beautiful I am without realizing I just filled my eyebrows in that day and have darker lashes rather than blonde lashes.
Just because men have the privilege of ignorance doesn't mean they aren't attracted to made up faces.

Which CEOs are actually worth keeping around?
CEO of Ben &Jerry's. They are not just posting the black square on their insta and then moving on, like half their posts are about fighting inequity, encouraging people to vote for actual human rights, openly pro abortion, pro immigrant rights, pro black rights, pro women's right, about fighting climate change etc. they are walking the walk, conservative dollars be damned

People who have been on Lemmy since the very initial reddit API debacle, or before even that, how much do you think it has changed?

Yeah, I feel like when I first came here every third post was about Linux and every third post was about star trek. A lot of the remaining third was beans. Now only every tenth post is Linux and trek.

I'm sure the women will be so very sad

... Can it do domestic labor or just sex? I am a woman and frankly I'd be interested in a robot wife.. I've got my husband for sex but we're tired of cooking dinner and cleaning the house. We'd both like a wife.

Why does it seem like women are more wont to make noise in sexual situations while men don't?
I always thought it was purely social conditioning, but I've got a theory that just popped in my head. I wonder if women need to be more vocal to communicate "Yes that's good, keep doing that"? Like frankly my partner is often in charge of pace, depth, and even calling for position changes. I'm letting him know with my noises how good something is for me, If you should keep doing it, or if I get quiet he knows to try something different. I don't mind him being quiet at all, until I'm on top and then I'm like I literally cannot tell if this is good for you. I have to ask out loud "is that good?" And then change something, "is that good?" After a blow-job I have to ask him, what parts did you like more than the other parts? Obviously I can tell he's into it overall, but It's really hard to know if a rhythm or amount of pressure is better than another if moaning doesn't increase when you try something. Like he can absolutely tell when he hits a good spot when fingering me because my moans make it very obvious. I will straight say, "yes," "please," "right there," "don't move." All kinds of stuff. It's not just about making it hotter for the other person, it's about communicating how good something is for you so they don't have to do as much guessing

I agree that the adults here are the most responsible, but I hope those kids understand the gravity of what they've done.

Applicants probably spend more time skimming job openings than Managers spend skimming through CVs
Reply in thread
I have to disagree. Job postings straight up lie. My husband got to his second interview at a place before they revealed everything from the posting and first interview was a lie and it was a door to door sales job.
Or they'll lie about the responsibility or the pay of the job and he won't learn that until deep into the interview process, which is costly in time, and stress, not to mention dressing up.

Society loves autistic coded characters more than they love actual people with autism
I don't understand the confusion here. Yes, it's interesting and entertaining to watch people on TV deal with issues that don't affect me and that I don't have to accommodate, and it's not interesting, entertaining, or fun to watch my brother deal with those issues in real life, or that we have to walk on eggshells at family holidays so my brother in law doesn't have a meltdown. Duh. It's also entertainment to watch a show where an important character dies, but extremely difficult and uncomfortable when your actual friend loses a spouse or child.
Society loves things that are difficult on TV, and in real life society prefers things that are easy.

Pretty sure they're saying it's their first time away from family. That's a common expression where I'm from meaning you're no longer in your family home / unsupported.

You have to be a registered Florida voter and you have to print out the petition and send in your signature. There's no way to do it online, unfortunately.

What little things do you do to feel feminine and cute?
I'm a female at birth, so not sure if I'm supposed to comment here, but I was just telling my husband earlier this week that layering makes me feel distinctly feminine! I wore a slip with a bit of lace at the bottom hem, and then a slightly shorter slip with extra fabric at the hem, then a dress over both for Thanksgiving for flowy peak a boo layers. The act of putting on several beautiful and soft and lovely layers that were pointless beyond being pretty made me feel so happy and girly :)
I hope you can find some stuff that makes you feel happy and girly :)

If the boomer was 60, it would still only cost $2,267.87.
If they're 65, it would have been 3,245.61.
Tuition today: $41,540 at private colleges $11,260 at public colleges (in-state residents) $29,150 at public colleges (out-of-state residents)
Sure, inflation is a thing, but the difference in dollar amount is still staggering.
