Good news everyone!
My heart has stopped a couple of times now… if nobody had actually told me, I never would have known. I have an implant that watches for that now.
Me, waking up in the hospital, fiddling around on my phone. Nurse comes in.
“Hey, were you asleep about an hour ago?”
“Yeah, why?”
“Your heart stopped for 8 seconds.”
“Um… ‘thank you’? I don’t know the correct response to ‘your heart stopped’. Wait, shouldn’t the alarms have gone off? I don’t remember hearing anything.”
“Oh, they go off at the nurses station.”
51·11 hours agoOh, it absolutely is, AND they have many times the population of lemmy, AND they vote, AND they are largely misinformed.
We have an election here on Tuesday, there is only one thing to vote on, a property tax measure to support the local parks.
OMG the amount of bad information floating around on this!
You can deprogram some people, but getting people to understand that they are being lied to when they spout nonsense like “ZOMG! Property taxes going up 75%!!!” is a tall hill to climb.
If the goal is “reviving democracy”, you need to go where the people are and that’s not the Fediverse.
That means sticking your toe in the local Facebook/Next Door and that can be problematic for a whole host of other reasons.
Babylon 5, season 1, is largely skippable.
2 and 3 are very good. 4 is the single best season of sci-fi television ever done.
Ideally, you watch it all in order.
In a pinch? 2-3-4-1-5.

Ordinarily I’d say most of these are safe, but if the No Kings can draw out enough people? Maybe?
Plus, anyone who slurs their words as much as Trump does is 3/4’s out the door anyway.

Never the same after Reservoir Dogs.
Yeah, we don’t allow self posts and even so, linking to a site like “NewzSquare” which really has no sort of reliability or bias rating of any kind? We need a better source than this.
Figured 2006 based on the pre-iPhone.
+NextDoor +Facebook.
My guess is, falling to death off a trail on a place called “Lizard Island” was likely pretty awful.
10·1 day ago“He was told via a friend that his job, which had previously paid $250 a day, has been posted for $400 a day.”
and:
“crew turnover on productions is “standard practice” across the industry from season to season and everyone who was not asked back were without contracts.”
Sounds like they would have dumped more people if they hadn’t had contracts.
But how is it “standard practice” to almost double your talent costs just because they aren’t under contract?
You’d think they’d want to keep paying the old guy $250 instead of the new guy $400, unless there’s some nepotism/friend of a friend action in play.
First, no self posts.
Second, Politics is US Politics only.
