Why do lots of people find it bizarre for someone to eat 6 boiled eggs in one sitting but not 12 devilled eggs and in one sitting? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml
[–] chillBurner@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 day ago

The same reason why you don't simply eat boiled meat, but mainly eat it in a stew/soup.

It's not exactly a flavor town experience with boiled meat, innit?

Donald Trump hints at USAID interference in India's elections: ‘They were trying to get somebody else elected’ in c/worldnews@lemmy.ml

I have mixed feelings. On one hand, the USAID bad. On the other, Modi bad (despite potential for multipolar role)

So if you're lonely, you know I'm here waiting for you

I'm just a cross-hair, I'm just a shot away from you

And if you leave here, you leave me broken, shattered I lie

I'm just a cross-hair, I'm just a shot, then we can die

Oh, oh, oh

I know I won't be leaving here with you

This is the type of social sin God would make the Israelites put into Exodus for, due to their straying from the path

So long, penny! Trump orders US to ditch 1-cent coin after decades of complaints in c/usa@lemmy.ml
[–] chillBurner@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 week ago

Like many things people say won't be done due to '3 branches of government', yes.

Besides, don't we have the hindsight of precedence?

Canada started phasing out its penny a dozen years ago and urged store owners to round prices to the nearest nickel for cash transactions. Electronic purchases were still billed to the nearest cent. The move came after New Zealand, Australia, the Netherlands, and others dropped their lowest-denomination coins.

After Canada stopped minting new pennies, it began recycling them for their “valuable” copper and zinc, according to a 2022 report from the Canadian Mint.

I suppose, they just want the status quo.

US immigration is gaming Google to create a mirage of mass deportations (www.theguardian.com)

News of mass immigration arrests has swept across the US over the past couple of weeks. Reports from Massachusetts to Idaho have described agents from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (Ice) spreading through communities and rounding people up. Quick Google searches for Ice operations, raids and arrests return a deluge of government press releases. Headlines include “ICE arrests 85 during 4-day Colorado operation”, “New Orleans focuses targeted operations on 123 criminal noncitizens”, and in Wisconsin, “ICE arrests 83 criminal aliens”.

But a closer look at these Ice reports tells a different story. That four-day operation in Colorado? It happened in November 2010. The 123 people targeted in New Orleans? That was February of last year. Wisconsin? September 2018. There are thousands of examples of this throughout all 50 states – Ice press releases that have reached the first page of Google search results, making it seem like enforcement actions just happened, when in actuality they occurred months or years ago. Some, such as the arrest of “44 absconders” in Nebraska, go back as far as 2008. All the archived Ice press releases soaring to the top of Google search results were marked with the same timestamp and read: “Updated: 01/24/2025”.

The mystery first caught the attention of an immigration lawyer who began tracking Ice raids and enforcement actions when Donald Trump took office. She spoke on the condition of anonymity for fear of reprisal from the administration. At first, she was baffled when she clicked on these seemingly new press releases and they detailed Ice raids from more than a decade ago.

So she set to work doing some digital sleuthing and enlisted a friend who’s a tech expert to help. What they found leads them to believe that Ice is gaming Google search.

What are some examples of 'common sense' which are nonsense? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml
[–] chillBurner@lemmy.ml 7 points 2 weeks ago

The labor market is indeed regulated by that supply and demand. That is a foregone conclusion. However, that doesn't guarantee necessarily higher wages and thus higher quality of life, proportionately speaking.

That itself is a struggle over whether "general profit", after accounting for wages, is reinvested for the social needs, such as housing, food and water, education.

Assuming that "general profit" (savings) + wages (needed for laborers' means of subsistence) = value created.

And assuming wages are sufficient enough for higher quality of life.

But put into the equation the landlords, the shareholders, industrialists that dominate our world by virtue of owning the property that shapes it, who want to depress wages, if it means more "general profit", and direct their savings towards more capital accumulation

Why is it in popular imagining, that ghosts are {MOSTLY} depicted as miserable lonely sad folks that are stuck to the places they've died in? (lemmy.ml)

Can't they discover the world beyond? Weren't they humans; don't they have the mind to move on and focus on something else, since trauma and grief will run its course, sooner or later, and not just haunt the living?

If I were a ghost, I'd be tired of acting like one... even if I was murdered or otherwise died untimely

With the exception of Casper the Ghost, I don't think I've seen the alternative take on it

This presupposes ghosts do exist, though I believe ye skeptics would tell me no, which, alright, you win the argument

Kenny vs Spenny, a song about Spenny's Grandpa (yewtu.be)

Lyrics for the song include mentions of child molesting

Verse 1

Grandpa you were my first lover

Grandpa you were no like other

Grandpa grandpa would open the door

And see little Spenny asleep

He’d wiggle his finger as he sucked on my dick

“Grandpa, stop molesting me” (x2)

Verse 2

Grandpa grandpa, don’t sit on my face

I’d rather give me a boner?

I break into Grandpa’s room, of the old folk’s home

Pull down his pants and have my way

Grandpa grandpa, fucked you in the ass, in the old folk’s home

"This is the payback for today" (x2) (Original added)

Final Verse

Grandpa grandpa, don’t come in my ass

Please just fuck your granny

Grandpa grandpa my dick’s not a toy

Grandpa put fire in mom and me

Grandpa put fire in mom

What’s that white stuff, is it come?

I break into Grandpa’s room, of the old folk’s home

Because with alzheimer’s he wouldn’t know

I’d pull down his pants and have my way (2x)
