An NIH official told the Globe that administrators who oversee grants were given barely an hour’s notice of the terminations late last Friday before the notifications were sent out.

So who is actually sending the notifications out? It always is reported as if the people who should actually be doing stuff are somehow being circumvented by some actor that has access to higher levels than them, and can act as they would act, but isn’t known to anybody. This seems like the ‘deep state’ ‘shadow government’ bullshit that the republicans always screamed about. Every accusation is an admission, right?

Did I Mumble?

And all of your data that they’ve collected over the years.

Yup. It’s why the scams by phone are so irritating to most of us, as another example. It’s just obvious and a time waster, but by making the scam easily visible to people who have the characteristics to not be vulnerable to them, it weeds out all the false positives the scammers would then have to deal with. They don’t want you, mr. bright eyed and bushy tailed, who is ready to catch them out only after hours of trying to get you to give them the code to your gift cards. That’s a lot of wasted time. They just want granny who will follow every direction.

Hmmm, for something that very few other people on lemmy have?

For the general world?

I tried to talk someone out of suicide and failed. Can’t think of something less cool or envy-inducing.

Morally? No. From the perspective of nothing on the internet is ever deleted? Yes. People who get duped into sending nudes will often find (I mean, IF they ever find, realistically, seeing how big the internet it) their picture being used by someone else for another duping operation.

It’s like the misspellings in the phishing emails: it ensures only people who will fall for the trick will respond. If some model messaged you out of the blue, you’re more likely to be suspicious or you feel that you’re super attractive and a model might actually reach out to you. Either way you’re more likely to not bite on the bait.

Lol, I got mine yesterday. I’d always felt sooooo left out.

Makes sense based on that article about his wang.

She used molotov cocktails and only did $5,000 in damage? I was really expecting to hear a few hundred Gs based on tesla’s prices and the cars I’ve seen go up in flames in the past.

Loopholes

It’s not even loopholes, it’s just farce. Substitute in fascist for anti-Semite. The only difference here is that the judges that matter are going to play along with the wordplay.

“Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.” -Jean Paul Sartre

Jesus, I got suckered hard by the ‘elio’ bullshit. When I was looking around for vehicles, the promise of a really affordable (lol, that should have been a clue) and gas efficient car was amazing. Plus, they already had a working car (lol, should’ve looked a little closer at those videos to see the duck tape) and were setting up their factory!

Before I gave reddit the finger, I would check in on the sub that was posting the obviously bullshit updates when they came out. There were at least a few of us who wanted to keep joking about that fucking joke.

Thrice now, at my time of reading, rofl.

At first I came in here to say it was a silly idea, but almost every argument against it could be thrown against other games that have been done.

Bad shit happened. When I asked why, the answers were lame. When I accused god of being an asshole, the defenses were the very definition of not even being wrong.

That’s quite the axe you’ve got there, mr. ayyy. You been grinding it on any dragons lately? Just, bringing it up on random comments about internet behavior?

If they did not read him his Miranda rights, that could be enough by itself to basically throw everything out.

Matey, stop commenting on things you’ve only seen on tv. Reading someone their rights is only done under specific circumstances, and only applies to certain evidence associated with those circumstances.

Anyone who cares to learn can read about it here in the excellent illustrated guide to the law.

I mean, I think he said it’s a pink wolf furry, so you’re probably good if he’s the one penetrating. If it was a pink furry wolf, on the other hand…

It’s the dog that knocks it off the possibility list for me. Most people who commit to the act of suicide start giving stuff away. That and a sudden ‘happiness burst’ are things that you sometimes see in people who have made the decision. Why would you take a chance to kill your dog, when you could just take a half day and get a vet to do it, or just ask someone to take care of the dog for a few days with the excuse you’ll be out of town or are hosting a party or a half dozen of the other plausible reasons?

Try Dynasty Warriors. It’s a genre I don’t see much anymore, but you take control of a general and blast through tons of minions in a big battlefield, aiming for enemy generals to turn the tide of battle (reflected in overall ‘morale’).

All the games tell the same story of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Obviously just play the last one available, because it has all the quality of life improvements, but I’ll only play 3, because it’s the only one that has Gan Ning with his super-pimp sword resting on top of his super-pimped no shirt tats.
