To many people nowadays, the actual job itself doesn’t matter, it’s the fact that it’s a job and it pays.

Turns out, productivity soars when you have a well rested, well compensated, well treated, healthy, and housed people who don’t have constant stessors of literally every aspect of their lives nearly crumbling beneath them…

Let’s say left door lies and right door tells the truth. Right door leads out.

Left door would lie and say “right door would tell you I am the door that leads out”

Right door would tell the truth, and say “left door would say LEFT door leads to freedom”. Since left door does not lead to freedom, left door would lie and say that left door is the correct one.

No matter which door you ask, they will have the same answer.

So you would choose the opposite door of whichever one they say.

Everyone makes fun of Tim, but BUT WAS RIGHT!

LOOK AT THE BONES!!!

nearly kills her

Based on the picture of the broken square section, I think that might be a bit of a stretch…

But “person avoids injury at final destination screening” doesn’t have that same allure.

You’re right, you clearly don’t have anything of substance to say.

“stealing art for my/my favorite techbro’s computer project should be legal and since it’s not yet, I’ll go around completely misrepresenting arguments in order to make them seem like they are the ones who are out-of-touch”

you begin manufacturing explosives in order to demolish all future trolley tracks, trying to ensure nobody is ever forced to choose again. Misunderstanding your purpose, you are arrested, and the people cheer that a terrorist has been brought to justice. Your pleas fall on deaf ears and people insist the trolleys are good, the trolleys are necessary.

True, it’s not a great plan. But it’s not your fault. You can never move on from… the trolley problem.

NYS rangers

How did I miss that part? That’s on me.

Yeah state parks, rangers, and anything that positively manages government land has always gotten the short end of the stick. The state police aren’t as militarily kitted out as some local PDs, at least in my experience.

A state park near where I grew up was basically begging for volunteers because they didn’t have the budget to take care of the park more than 3ft from the parking lot. (mild exaggeration, but you get the idea)

This whole time I’ve been thinking its some local city cops with too much time and not enough training…

That’s the point.

Set the bar low, but just high enough that tons of people still trip over it.

Sit back and enjoy the comment wars.

The people who are confident but wrong are too proud to admit they were wrong even if they realize it, and comment angrily.

The people who are right and know why, comment for corrections and some to show off how S-M-R-T they are.

The people who are wrong but willing to accept that just have their realization and probably don’t think about it again. So do the people who don’t know and/or care.

But those first two groups will keep the post going in both shares and comments, because “look at all these wrong people”

It’s all designed to boost engagement.

I’m sure their massively inflated budget can handle it. Presumably the hikers pay their taxes.

Had me in the first half, not gonna lie.

Taken to police… For wasting their time? I’m confused what actual harm they did.

Oh no they ate a fungus. Hardened criminals. Probably ms13. Gotta deport them now.

My condolences to your digestive tract…

Acts of simple sabotage, multiplied by thousands of citizen-saboteurs, can be an effective weapon against the enemy

I was walking a cart to my car today when a cop car with four of those plate readers on each side of it started coasting down my lane.

It took a bit of a jog but I decided to keep up with it and try to block as many plates as I could.

Probably didn’t do a thing, but fuck em.

They’re being elitist with their headline, but this is why I personally think they’re sort of right… We will make the planet uninhabitable for modern society before the sane world can pool their resources.

I mean… Never by our current civilization.

With climate change ramping up, less and less will be devoted to space and exploration, and more resources focused on maintaining order and keeping people fed and working.

So unless the rest of the world can rally together in the next 50 years, we, our current civilization, will be likely nearly wiped out in the coming centuries. Not totally, I don’t think. But modern society will not survive.

Now, I fully believe the rest of the world is completely capable of doing this, the question is can enough people in positions of power put aside petty differences and work for the betterment of humanity. Because clearly my government won’t.

The titles is definitely click bait, and if they really believe it they’re delusional.

Well, if studies on microplastics are any indication, they DO carry your trash.

Just indirectly.

I once had a granola wrapper blow away in the wind, and I felt so bad I started looking for trash on my way out.

Then I realized I could be doing that every time and I started bringing shopping bags with me on hikes and grabbing any trash I see until the bag is full or I leave.

It’s made me realize something.

Even the people who hike several miles into deer paths, the kind you would expect to be the less than casual group and therefore should know better, are fucking disgusting.

Humans are gross and it’s nothing new, we know the most about ancient cultures that left a lot of garbage.
