I don’t even drink coffee.

I looked at the other comments, and this one isn’t the least useful.

From this article (better than one posted yesterday), it’s clear the error was saying the prayer was based on a Bible verse, when it’s based on the Pulp Fiction script. In the movie, the verse is said to be from Ezekiel 25:17, but it is not.

The prayer itself is obviously not from Pulp Fiction or the Bible, as it mentions aviators and the call sign “Sandy 1.” They call the prayer CSAR 25:17, and Hegseth was correct that that is in reference to Ezekiel 25:17. But it’s the movie Ezekiel 25:17, not the actual one.

I know he’s stupid and a drunk, but I don’t believe for a moment he thought there was a biblical verse about aviators. They were obviously repurposing the Pulp Fiction quote for this particular pilot and his unit.

I hadn’t considered that they were purposefully impeding legal vehicle maneuvers as the safety police.

That’s actually far less likely than those drivers just not knowing what’s going on. There is considerable overlap between them and drivers who spend all their time on the right side of their lane / overlapping the bike lane.

Go figure that on Lemmy the “fuck cars” crowd would get behind this, though.

That in the US, it is usually legal to make a right turn at a red light. People who drive up to a red light in the middle or toward the right side of the right through lane forget this. When inevitably a car seeking to turn right stops behind them, blocked from progressing to the intersection, they pull up 5 feet while failing to move their car more than 3 inches to the left.

I’ve been behind drivers who do this at one intersection, recognize that people behind them can’t get by, and then stop in the same position at the next intersection to have the scenario repeat itself.

I’ve also been first at a red light, pulled fully to the left side of the right lane, and had a car drive up behind me a half a car-width further right be surprised when they find out they’re blocking right-hand turners. What do you suppose was the thought process when pulling up behind me? “Look at this maniac stopped all the way on the left side of the lane!”

You have your answer already. Instead of asking why others haven’t done it, ask yourself why you haven’t done it.

I think I understand what you’re saying. I hadn’t considered that the steps may be from different multiverses.

I think a subset of people like it, and the rest tolerate it. So, if you label every porn video as step-someone with step-other, you serve both audiences.

What I have a hard time wrapping my head around are scenarios where step-dad, step-mom, step-sis, and step-bro are all going at it in the same scene. Under what circumstances do these four people live together?

Thanks you, comrade.

North Korea hasn’t done anything terrible. If you disagree, you just need to spend some time in a re-education camp.

I believe Jovovich’s character in the movie Two Moon Junction was also big into new AI memory techniques, so this works.

The actual explanation is much simpler.

This, exactly. I work as a baby seal clubber, and some of my colleagues definitely have questionable motives for doing the job.

Came here to write “kidney stones,” and yours was the only other mention. Gallstones hurt to a similar degree, but as they move in and out, you get some relief from the pain.

Wouldn’t that help to save the dying planet much faster than your idea of having humans go extinct in the next generation? Shouldn’t the highest good be more suffering for humans (evil) and less for animals, only a few of which only adopt, typically in rare circumstances?

It’s No Stupid Questions, not No Incredibly Rude Questions.

Maybe give some money to the poor before buying a second TV. Otherwise, a Sherpa might poison you for your hubris.

I assume you use the Red Room for other things.

And yet, unsurprisingly, other commenters here are lapping it up and using it as yet another reason to hate the Democrats.

Real progressive thought leaders, this lot.

Depends how long you can hold your breath.
