Just like the "nice" Germans right around 1935 and 1940

I still miss the frito burrito. It was so good and it was like a dollar. The chips in the new "double beef" whatever $4 nonsense are always stale.

This smells like bullshit. Investigations are not tied to the employment of the investigator. Plenty, and I mean PLENTY of investigations are completed and used to try innocent schmucks all the time after the cops or detective has been shitcanned for one misconduct or another.

Making them fire him would open up the administration to yet more misconduct to investigate. Quitting let's them have what they want with no risk whatsoever and no challenge to their shakey authority in the matter.

It's a limp waisted conclusion to this limp wristed farce of trying to use the justice system as intended against someone the justice system has been carefully sculpted and tended to protect.

The UK spent hundreds of years searching for and taking home all the culture they could due to specifically not having any culture whatsoever back home. They also used that culture like they used their spices, which is not at all. The English are a terrible example of humanity and should not be recognized as anything other than the barbarians they are.

Does establishing some kind of ancestry actually do anything? I did a whole report on my great great grandfather on my mother's side and learned about the name and the clan. Still remember the motto and official plaid and all that jazz. Never once considered it'd ever be relevant to anything.

It is fun seeing "nec sorte, nec fato" pop up ocassionally tho.

Homie seems like a coward from where I'm sitting.

You worked your entire career to get to this peak and you're going to quit before they fire you?

No dedication. No spine. Mf should be waiting in his office with a loaded handgun for the clown squad to come get him.

I went through this with my cat a couple months ago. Had him for 15 and a half beautiful, fuzzy years. I'm just glad that everything hit him all at once in the last couple weeks of his life so it was really obvious his time had come. I held him sleeping on my chest for the last 5 or 6 hours before it was time. Now I'm all gucked up thinking about it.

Fuck cancer.

Skyrim did it first with dragons. Honestly I bought palworld specifically to spite shitendo and ended up pleasantly surprised by a very playable game. Shitendo is just mad that someone else did it better on a shoestring budget

Sure you can. Can't be shot if you shoot them first.

Fuck me how did I never even consider the guy who fucks couches might be a tape worm driving a people suit. Did RFK Jr know too much? Did the worms really eat his brain??

Nahhhhh I'm way too spiteful. I keep my book of grudges very close. It keeps me warm at night in spite of my cold assburgers I can't stop dragging around. And I'd HATE to drive with me in traffic. Thanks though.

RIP Bear (lemm.ee)
 

I'm sorry to post again. I tried finding a "lastimages" lemmy but I couldn't.

Bear was laid to rest at 10:50am 16th of September 2024. I had him for 15 and a half beautiful years. We went for walks just about every day and he was the king of his block. Neighbors and friends come and go but my stinky man was always finding something to smell in the next bush. Even when the weather was against him, he could always sneak around and find something new stuck to grandma's shoes.

He loved nothing more than salmon, PINK salmon (none of that red or smoked nonsese), and so he ate pink salmon every day he could. His kibbles were never empty for long and the house just wasnt right if he didn't have at least 3 different glasses to drink from at any time. Though we bought him beds and blankets enough to supply a small army, he loved sleeping on news paper more than anything else. Something about inconveniencing the humans by weight of his sheer existence I'm sure.

We bothered him constantly his last two days, making him absolutely sick of us. We pet and loved him every moment of these last two days, and I held him sleeping on my chest for hours this morning. I don't think he could possibly have been more fed up with our emotional human nonsense if we'd tried. But I stayed with him every last second, and the last thing he could see when his eyes dilated was me.

I will never stop loving my boy.

Pretty sure I'm going to have to put my beautiful baby boy to rest on Monday. He's been getting very lethargic and lost his appetite. Spent 48 hours at the vet and he was treated for pancreatitis, kidney disease, and now we find heart failure. He's back home with all the meds he could need and he's comfortable.

He's my 17 year old very special boy. We've been extremely lucky with only 2 minor health issues that needed vet care and otherwise normal visits with clean bills of health. He's always been very strong (if very picky when it comes to eating) and he's been with me through the death of my mother and father.

Im honestly feeling pretty lost right now, but every time I look at him I can't help but feel it's time. He's got the best chance the vet can give him, but I still don't want to watch him suffer.

I really don't have much faith, but if you do, please pray for Bear.

Edit: Bear was laid to rest at 10:50am. It was extremely fast and he was so out of it he barely felt a thing. His suffering is over and so mine begins.

Secret Project now availablr on Kindle and Audible (lemm.ee)
 

Good ol BrandoSando has screwed the community again. First, he announces the secret project and promises us new stories. Then, he "boycotts" amazon with JUST THESE COMMUNITY FUNDED STORIES. Now, he's making money on books we bought without letting us utilize the accessibility features we've come to expect from his other work unless we pay him again.

Tl;Dr Brandon Sanderson is an exploitative greed monster that swallowed 43 million dollars and is hungry for more. Do not buy Brandon Sanderson products until this betrayal is addressed.

oh look. im so glad the $43 million dollar secret project the fans funded will now spawn AI generated garbage while still not being available on audible. isnt that just the greatest? /s (storyfair.net)

Spotify just changed their TOS, giving them unprecedented rights to create "derivative works" from audiobooks

They frame it as though it's for user content, more likely it's to train AI, but in fact it gives them the right to do almost anything they want - up to (but not including) stealing the content outright.
