How would I, as an individual, gather like-minded people into starting a union? Posters and megaphones? Is there a place to go to check for existing unions/groups?

What do you recommend someone do to organize in a right-to-work (anti-union) state?

Obligatory not a fix for everyone but:

I've read that drinking cold milk helps keep you cooler than drinking cold water. Something about the electrolytes in the milk making it digest more slowly?

This is only a short-term fix obviously, and only if you enjoy drinking milk, but it's an option.

Doesn't fucking matter if/who showed it to him. The fact of its content, and that Trump would admire it, share it, and not think anything else of it, is the problem.

'Presidential' used to be a word that meant, 'being proper, polite, and dignified.' Trump is none of those things, and is poisoning the term.

This bullshit is just an attempt to move blame away from Trump and sweep it under the rug. The manbaby will do everything except what he should do: get stabbed/shot in his McDummy eater.

When one of my friends would dog sit for his aunt/uncle, and when feeding, he would hold the food out in front of himself and move it in a circle around/above the dog. She started doing it for dinner all the time, circles or not. Straight Pavlovian! 😂

He was...kickbanned.

Puts shades over aged eyes.

April 15, 2026, the Seoul Western District Court found Ismael guilty of all charges and sentenced him to six months of prison labor, 20 days of detention, was forced to register as a sex offender in Korea which also means he must register in the United States upon completing his sentencing and return to the country or face up to 10 years in prison.

Who's got money on another 10y for failing to register in the US?

That may be where it came from around here, I don't know many songs by BHG so I never heard that one. Probably a classmate with an older sibling or something.

As a former child, welcome to 3rd grade 😂

No offense though, it's just one of those rites of passage that seems to be everywhere...until you find out it's not.

Though, maybe it's an English thing? Idk

In theory? Yes. In practice? Only if you're already in a government social circle.

As another said, can't remember the last time I cried for myself. I know and understand a lot of the reasons for a bunch of things, but also come to accept that I can't do anything about many of them. Usually just swear and move on with it.

In the case that someone offends me or attacks me or my beliefs, I only get angry and tell them to fuck off for eternity. I don't do forgive and forget, I remember and resent.

Heartfelt stuff in shows and movies can make me tear up, but I haven't ugly cried in like 5ish years when life shat all over me and spit in my mouth. Doing better now but I imagine it would take something big to make me cry again.

😮‍💨

Edit: another comment reminded me, last time was when my grandpa was about to pass and I broke down at work of all places 😭

 

Title. There's a bunch of users that I want to block because their content isn't what I expect from the community, but to block them would basically block their moderated communities too (I think? Correct me if wrong) and that would slowly reduce my feed to nothing.

Thoughts?

User below helped me solve it, the movie is Shark Hunter (2001). Neat movie about a kid whose parents died when a science vessel sank under mysterious circumstances. After growing up and learning about marine biology and such, he gets recruited to explore the wreckage with a team that discovers the ship and his parents were attacked by a megalodon.


Disclaimer: I know it's not Deep Blue Sea (1999). I also didn't see the beginning of the movie, and only remember parts near the end.

So the movie is about a team of researchers on a massive submarine or something similar in the deep ocean. They get attacked by sharks that are larger than average, and aggressive to the vessel. There's a moon pool big enough for a mini-sub to dock in.

A character supervising the moon pool walks onto a diving board and lays down on it to get a better view of something he sees. After laying down, one of the large sharks jumps up through the moon pool, taking the man and diving board in one bite before sinking back into the water.

Some details escape me, but the last 2 remaining characters hatch a plan, one escapes in a mini-sub while the other stays behind to kill the sharks by self-destroying the main sub. After the main sub explodes, killing the sharks, the person in the mini sub powers on their lights, only to discover an even bigger shark before arming their own self-destruct, before the movie ends.

At first I thought this might be one of The Meg movies, but I'm not sure those are correct. As I said, the moon pool scene is notably different than the one in Deep Blue Sea. I'm at a loss. I want to say it was on SciFi channel or maybe FX, but this was several years ago so I'm not sure.

 

When on Voyager I'm unable to create new posts/comments, nor can I see my own inbox/profile history. At first I thought I caught a ban, because I can do all of these things on a separate instance account (made at .world for testing) through Voyager. However, after more testing, I'm able to post/comment through Firefox on the original account, so it's not an 'access revoked' issue. Anyone else having this problem? This is the original account, for reference.

 

I keep seeing ZippyBot post articles in incorrect communities just because a website is named poorly. Most recent example is a post in 'gaming' that's about a TV series, and not even about a game adaptation, but about t-shirts.

I went to go and block ZippySlop and wouldn't you know it? You can't ban 'admins.' ZippySlop posts to a wide array of communities that I do otherwise like, and the only other option besides blocking Zippy is to block all of those respective communities.

As that would be time consuming and detrimental to engagement of topics, why can't I block ZippyBot. Before anyone sneers 'cuz itz a admin bruh,' Why is a bot even an admin anyway?!

 

I've seen headlines this week about Olympic skiers and the dangers of a bigger bulge/cup or something?

 

Planning on watching the new Superman movie tonight and Amazon has a 'bonus x-ray edition' but no details besides having the same runtime. Anyone able to explain the difference? Is it behind-the-scenes, or same movie with extra x-ray effects, or what?

 

Obviously all theoretical. Unless...

The following assumes that they're tiny humanoids with wings and no magic spells/powers.

What would you say the size range is for our tiny winged beings? I often imagine incredibly small, like AA battery size. Then my brain makes like a runaway train, thinking about things like logistics and plausibility (I know they're fictional magic beings but that's the runaway train part).

Once I get into that mode, I start imagining them bigger, to an extent. As big as a futbol, usually. All the various children's stories have them anywhere from palm-sized to as small as bugs.

I guess for imagery sake, imagine you had a roommate that was one, so you have to take their size into account for things like cooking and cleaning. What chores would be exclusive to each person based on size? Would they be able to lift/carry human-size objects?
