🫡 Edit: such a missed opportunity, since you can both say it back to each other

My 5D chess move would be:

• Go: ok bet, you wanna shut it down? Your stores are now in immediate administration under some eminent domain law
• In order to mitigate political backlash, make it known that they’re able to sell their business to someone else, or the city, provided that the subsequent owner is bound to either run it, or sell it to the city

Watch them get mad because you haven’t technically seized it, they can still sell the business (maintaining the sacrosanct rights to private property capitalists love so much), you’ve just prevented them from closing it down, and everyone gets to keep their jobs :)

If I were near the equator: is this a joke I’m too 0° lat to understand?

Oh my apologies, I thought we were talking about the number of lanes.

Yeah the traffic here looks photoshopped, though, I’d be willing to bet there are times where this freeway almost looks like this*

Go count them for yourself (or just search Katy Freeway into Google maps and turn on satellite view if you don’t want to click this link)

The number of lanes is insane

This is only the case for cheaper models. There are models with inverters that actually run at lower power.

I am like original commenter, I gotta turn down the power because my microwave is a deadly lazer (1200 W)

Everytime there’s piss on the seat or the floor I just think: who the fuck are these people and do they do this in their own house?

Like, go use the urinal, why you gotta ruin the seat?

And if it’s an accident, at least wipe up after yourself!

This is great, meane she’s giving the game stakes too

Gentleman vs Gentleperson

Seems like a legit substitution to me

I like using “gentle people”.

Would the gentle person care for some more wine?

Works for all genders

Not sure if you have seen this person religiously commenting better quality versions of comics and pictures on other people’s posts, this is extremely high praise!

You’ve gained a medal from a Lemmy staple

It’s not the multiple partners that are a problem in my opinion (You do you. Polyamory is not for me, but no hate), it’s the many-to-one relationships. Even in cases where an immoral power dynamic doesn’t exist, you’re still setting up for societal shenanigans if it’s consistently many women to men, or vice versa, which seems prudent to avoid.

That being said, monogamy in a legal sense has probably only persisted so long because involving more than 2 people would be a massive headache for the courts lol

Probably only works in countries where one “partner” has more rights than others.

Your boss would be breaking the law in Australia, now explicitly under the new right to disconnect legislation, if they said anything about it.

(Though, could have probably been argued in the past also as unpaid overtime in the past)

Thank you, this detail had me scratching my head. D≈1.56" makes so much more sense.

Not knowing the difference between circumference and thickness? Instant turn off.

Work forced our update and it’s massively slowed down everyone’s computers.

The IT guy gave me this knowing look when I came to ask if I could do anything about it.

Nope.

Bloody ridiculous because in terms of functionality it’s a step backwards in many areas, some decent little improvements in very few areas, and overall trash performance.

Really wish they had paid for extended security updates.

If we know each other, I’d tell you in a heartbeat. On the internet where someone will just vacuum it up into their dataset? Not a chance.

Ah I guess that’s fair

This would be diabolic. No one makes something due at a time ending 59 other than 23:59.

I could totally imagine this happening by mistake, due to 12 hr time error.

I wish people would talking in 24 hour time, even

I took it as more of a PSA
