I mean the same can be said of the cores of American cities as well. The stroads are generally out on the edges where the city grew just in the last 75 years or so, just like how the highways in major European cities generally won't be in the ancient city centers.

Sure I can find plenty of nearly identical stroads around New York, Minneapolis and Chicago but if you look at the very center of each of them they'll all look very different and local culture and history will shine through

Not in LA where lane splitting is legal!

Yeah those cardboard carriers are handy for shelters since they come flat packed and are cheap enough to give away, but they're really single-use items. For carting cats between the shelter and adoptions fairs they'll typically have normal carriers since those are far more reliable

I went back to college in my late 20s, attending a community college and watched exactly this happen with my older classmates, they all walked into much more senior roles thanks to their prior job experiences and soft skills from those earlier jobs in different fields. Heck I even managed to snag a better job than my 20 year old peers based on my work experience

Bro it's a parody account. Anyone can make one

Body, flame jets and electric textures can be explained as they're not part of the 3d model but effects applied to it in-engine.

The missing horn though screams AI and I have a hard time imagining a human artist forgetting one of the horns when making the 3d model and submitting the work as completed

Do you believe that having a roof over your head is a human right? I certainly do. Yes even the most detestable people in the world deserve a roof over their heads, with a place to sleep, and a functioning toilet and shower and some space to store their belongings.

This should be the bare minimum that all people are guaranteed by society but apparently that's a very high bar

I'm not going to claim to be good at detecting AI generated content, but for visual content there's clear vibes that AI generated content give that I can never specifically point out, but when I spot them there's usually at least one other person calling out the slop. Yes 3-4 years ago diffusion models would make errors like mangling hands and mushy details, but while newer models get images technically correct, they leave clear vibes that are easy to spot

Lamb of God is brilliant as well!

Eh it worked 10 years ago as well, but I've not been in retail/entry level jobs for about that long. Just walk in or visit the store website and fill out an application. Turnover is so high in these shitty entry level roles that they're always looking for new blood

Heck a recruiter I talked to 8 years ago is still including me on mass texts about immediate openings at warehouses and factories for laborers with the most recent just a couple of days ago

Do these jobs suck? Yeah, but they'll hire anyone with a pulse who can show up sober, and oftentimes sobriety is optional. It'll get the person out of the house and earning some money which should help their mental state as well since staying inside 24/7 and having no structure to your life is a recipe for depression

My last played game was Railroader so I guess we drivin trains today!

Somehow these articles just add so much to the meme, especially with Politifact's refusal to use the original verbage of "dick vein"

I'd assume an extreme situation of executive dysfunction combined with some amount of mental illness. Anon's parents are most likely middle class and don't want him to be homeless, and may have not engaged enough with him as a kid/teen and left him to his own devices too much leaving him socially and emotionally stunted compared to his peers.

It's really a challenge that compounds on itself. You feel stunted compared to your peers, so you interact with them less thereby getting less chances to build those social-emotional skills. You pull in more and spend your time isolated and slowly your views of the world get warped by whatever media you consume instead of spending time touching grass and talking to real people in the real world. This then makes it harder to get a job which then makes it harder to go out into the real world to course-correct. As you get older it becomes a bigger and bigger red flag that you've never worked or lived independently, so people are less likely to connect with you. You become more weird and off-putting, and it's just a death spiral that ends with a sink or swim situation of some sort unless the individual happens to connect with someone with the patience to help them build those social-emotional skills they missed out on years before (most commonly a romantic partner or a real life friend)

There's a definite difference between renting below market rate from your family and being a 37 year old who's never had a job, can't drive etc.

Plus being a shut in that lives at home and relies on your parents for literally everything is a recipe for severe mental illness.

The Internet isn't real life, so when a person spends literally all of their time at home on the computer doing nothing of value they can easily find themselves with a very warped sense of reality that can only be broken by going outside, touching some grass and interacting with some real people.

There's also quite a few life skills that can't really be taught and have to be learned by working a job, living on your own and managing your own finances

he's been banned from pretty much all streaming platforms, including Twitch, Kick, Rumble, and Parti.

When you manage to get banned from both Kick and Rumble you really should be re-evaluating your life choices...

It's really incredible how I can no longer tell what's satire and what's very real opinions and ideas being shared seriously

Others have heavily covered the legality portion of this but I want to point out one other key factor: any employer that tries to pull this kind of shit clearly has a significant employee retention problem, and they're trying to fix it by trapping their employees financially rather than getting to the root of the problem.

Refuse to sign this agreement and find another job. If they let you join without signing this agreement keep applying elsewhere because you'll almost certainly learn very quickly why they have such a bad employee retention problem

Brilliant pick. This is the kind of energy that will get the Midwest to drive this national election and bring enough casserole for everyone at the potluck

Twink gets railed by his transsexual goth girlfriend, gets himself boypreggers. Has to go to the boynecologist and get a BOYBORTION! Many such cases!
