I think it’s because there’s some unwritten rule about not inducing children to commit suicide. I don’t think a little kid could handle such a curriculum without getting severely depressed and offing themselves. Adult survival of this is much higher, mostly thanks to access to sex, drugs, and rock and roll, something children are not allowed to have access to, given local laws and their status as legal minors. It is correct to lie to them and make them think that if they are good students now they will be successful as adults because they are too young to be exposed to night clubs where 9 to fivers tend to find refuge and a drug dealer at the end of a tough shift to survive and avoid suicide.

What a headline! Whatever she’s smoking, I want to smoke this stuff. I mean, I get it. She’s his attorney and she is not fired. But that’s something even his attorney can’t say in public without smoking something really good.

The beauty of the 21st century, as I shall tell you because I am one of those people that will eat all the Oreo cookies until I throw up, is that there are so many wonderful budget imitations of the imitation now. No matter where I go in the world, if I can’t find an Oreo, I can find an imitation of the Oreo. The Hydrox cookies are also quite good. But they are more expensive than the Top Crest or whatever other generic thing you can find. Anyway, I see Hydrox as the victim here. It might look different from its imitator, but you know what? It tastes the same and is cheaper. It’s the Pepsi of the cookie world.

Yeah, because nothing says mentally ill like not having some real tits to grab and just watching them on a screen to jerk off to.

It makes sense to you because you are the majority. It makes no sense to me. And this does not matter to you or the world. Have fun wanking to the bouncing boobs while I block yet another community. It’s not all your fault. NSFW and PORN should be two different categories. Until then, I shall openly protest and ruin your boner. The more I do that, the more incentive the straight white computer nerds that run this place will have to make it more fun for me to be here.

I wasn’t referring to the posting of the sign as a practice, I was referring to the photo, meaning that I assume that the photo was taken in the USA. Yes, I am originally from the USA. Maine, to be exact. I haven’t been back home in about ten years. Anyway, I was referring to the place where the photo was taken, not the local customs.

Ah! I get it, then. I guess I was reading this poster as a kind of warning to recreational drug users because I didn’t put my pharmacology hat on. Thanks for the clarification. The more I interact with people on this thread, the more I see how it makes sense to post warnings like this.

This is porn proof that when you sort by “hot” you get porn that straight, white males want and nothing else. Fill my feed with sexy men. Dark and sexy men. Dark and sexy hung men that spend their entire lives working out and photographing themselves sucking cocks. When you do that, I’ll know that Lemmy and the fediverse is actually not dominated by straight, white, boring men who are computer nerds, and is actually well-balanced.

Wow! I have been absent from the United States for a long time (I’m assuming this is from the USA, where I’m from). What a thing! I had no idea this was typical back home. I guess it’s a good thing. I mean, it prevents death, right?

But you see, this approach is an international problem on both sides of the tipping argument. Are you against tipping and think the worker should be compensated by their employer? That’s great. Do you believe in this philosophy enough to actually seek out politicians who will make sure employers compensate the workers? All around the world, it seems that nobody cares that much about workers when it’s time to vote. Workers in countries where tipping is not customary earn a crappy salary that does not allow them to live without depending on the kindness of their families. Good luck making yourself independent of your parents on a typical salary a waiter earns in Spain, for example. Workers in the USA where tipping is all the rage don’t do much better. You can work in the retail industry and earn minimum wage, or sometimes slightly higher than minimum wage and live out of your car or live with your parents. You can work at a restaurant and depend on tips and live out of your car. You can be a visiting professor of sociology at whatever university and live out of your car. In Spain, you can have a PhD and ghost write for full professors and live out of your car or you can wait tables and not have a car and live with your parents. I mean, really. There is no difference in the end. Wages from work are low all around the world. They are low in democratic countries because people care more about some other issue and not about the people who bring food to their table at a restaurant, no matter what kind of tipping culture is predominant in that democratic country.

Wow, I guess you know what part of the city you’re in when you have that appointment with this dentist.

“If you’re alive, could I interest you in some dessert? We have a wide selection of desserts! If you don’t order dessert and you’re not dead, please leave. Your table is useless because you aren’t buying anything more!”

Do parents pet their children now? So strange!

Yeah, it goes along with the low standards that define probable cause. Policing, just like a lot of professions, is subject to bean counting when bean counting is not appropriate. Voters love to see statistics that flaunt “more arrests.” Funny how people love numbers without really understanding what the numbers mean.

I mean, law enforcement occasionally uses polygraph tests in their investigations even though that type of “evidence” isn’t admissible in court and, to be honest, what kind of scientific credibility does a piece of technology like a polygraph even have? They’ll use whatever they can get their hands on even if it’s questionable. Some police forces probably even have a psychic consultant or something. It scares me.
