~~Wall~~ Sesame street
  • Are we just going to ignore all the jobs that were lost when the economy crashed? Not just in the U.S. either.

    All because there was an inordinate amount of really bad housing loans that banks KNEW were bad, and just continued to give the loans out.

    If you'd like to learn more about this, Inside Job is a great documentary about this.

  • For anyone interested in what they used:

    "Individuals assigned to the olfactory enrichment group were provided with an odorant diffuser (Diffuser World) and 7 essential oil odorants (rose, orange, eucalyptus, lemon, peppermint, rosemary, and lavender; from The Essential Oil Company, Portland, OR) in identical glass vials that each fit into the diffuser. They were asked to turn on the diffuser when they went to bed, and the odorant was released into the air during the night for 2 h when they first went to sleep. They rotated through the different odorants each night."

  • [MEGATHREAD] Starfield - Your experiences!
  • I like it. Still has some classic glitches, enemies jumping high into the air after you kill them, grabbing weapons out of a locked container because part of the gun was sticking was sticking out, you know, Bethesda things.

    I found that it looks really blurry if I don't have it on Ultra settings, that's my only real complaint.

  • The Religious Right were behind it all. Who could've guessed? (Aside from -- you know -- everyone who guessed and told you they were behind it all).
  • Things my state has added in the past year, which I am so, so happy about.

    1. Made it a crime for librarians and bookstores to provide minors with materials deemed “harmful” to them. (Temporarily blocked by a judge.)
    2. Made Delta marijuana variants illegal
    3. Adding cameras to interstates to catch drivers speeding in work zones.
    4. Forced sign-ins to porn sites.
    5. Rolled back requirements that the state verify the ages of workers under 16 and provide them with work certificates permitting them to work.

    We could have had a governor who has a PhD from MIT, but no. He was blue, and also black. Didn't matter that he was an ordained minister in the Bible belt either.

    China Is on Edge as Fallout From Its Real Estate Crisis Spreads
  • There have been concerns of a real estate crash in China for several years, with different problems than the potential real estate crash that could happen here in the United States.

    That being said, China "on the edge" is certainly a title meant to get you to click on the link. Economies wax and wane, after all.

  • I've seen countless posts about the tankie problem here in the lemmyverse
  • What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I'll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I've been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I'm the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You're fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that's just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little "clever" comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn't, you didn't, and now you're paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You're fucking dead, kiddo.
