Lordy this one is so specific I'll probably doxx myself with it, lol.

Small town college in a pretty red (enough) state, one store in town to buy any groceries unless you have a car and can get to the bigger stores in the next town. Black kid gets tackled fleeing the shop by the son of the shop owners, initial wave of gossip blames racial profiling by the white owners and the students start boycotting the business. College itself gets involved and stops purchasing food for the dining halls (baked goods, etc.) from the shop, severely cutting into their business margins. Turns out the kid was actually shoplifting, and if I remember correctly was shoplifting alcohol while underage, and it becomes a huge fiasco (as if it wasn't already) with the police getting involved and I think the business sued the college. Not positive how it ended as it mostly happened right when I was graduating.

There were news articles about it online as it got to be a pretty huge deal with the lawsuits and everything. Partly posting this to see how many other people from there at that time are on here (I suspect more than a few).

Edited to add - turns out there's an entire wikipedia article about this, so have fun anyone who searches for this lmao.

Is there a reason discord is also being devalued? I haven't heard of anything negative going on there and they seem to be doing fine.

It wasn't really one sub in particular for me, honestly. The one big thing was the ever-increasing repost comment bots: they started to show up here and there and by now they're all over comment sections. I don't get the point of why they were created in the first place, and to me it was very analogous to the overall decline in the site. More bots, less actual discussion.

I don't have specific info on what's harvested, but I have had mine active for a while and I'm at 300k tracking attempts blocked in the last 7 days. It's absolutely wild.

Edited to add - they don't specify what is being attempted, just what each company is known to track generally.

Found this article from a US gov't site that talks a lot about this, kind of interesting to read.

Not to mention that there at 11 AM the heat index was 105 already and the car was in the sun.

That and having alcohol, weed, and meth(!) in their systems.

I think this was honestly my favorite bit of the episode. I thought their honor was challenged just because singing overall, and expected some drinking songs or klingon opera. I was so totally taken off guard by it, it absolutely made the entire episode imo. I barely even remember what it sounded like after the first second because I was laughing so hard.

omg AMAZING

Thank you for this gem 😂❤️

I might have to frame this tbh

For those who don't want to read about how aMaZiNg this car is or just don't wanna scroll, it starts at $130,000.

Same, honestly this might be the one thing that makes me choose Lemmy outright instead of visiting them both. I was SO tired of nsfw "dad" jokes.

I honestly think the 60s special effects are one of my favorite aspects about TOS. They're silly and corny and the suspension of disbelief is nonexistent but it wouldn't be the same without them. That, and also the dramatic lighting in the closeups and the extravagant eye makeup on literally everyone lol.

I think some of the other commenters pointing out that it reads as a command is probably a big one, but you did a pretty good job of explaining it here (imo). Even just saying to him that you want a heads up of if it's good or bad and working out a system so you don't stress would probably be a marked improvement for you, and I would bet it'd be an easy fix.

Preach, I call them "birthing hip trucks" lol

I like this a lot. It makes me wonder about some of these though, how "very scared" doesn't necessarily mean "petrified" or how something could be "very noisy" without being outright deafening. Super useful as a way to break the habit of saying "very" all the time, though. This is all more just me marveling at the minute nuances in English though.

Same here, I like Connect but I can't load a single comment on there so for now I'm on Jerboa. TBD where I end up permanently though.

Not sure of all the details, but the guy the production hired to give them information on customs/culture to use in the show turned out to be a total sham, for one.

Am I nuts or is it missing a letter? україні

Everyone I know who played OW has been following the news and updates for OW2 but as far as I know not actually playing. So to answer your question, yes.... but also, no.

It's used for indicating someone's maiden name usually, just tongue-in-cheek I wager by whoever wrote the title.
