I can't even imagine what it would look like for someone to use more than 1 pillow. Like, how is their body not contorted into a horribly uncomfortable position?

LanternEverywhere ,

It's the computer code for an ampersand (&). For some reason some servers write out the code instead of rendering an ampersand.

Kids terrified as Republican lawmaker flashes gun during school's statehouse visit ( www.rawstory.com )

An Indiana state lawmaker was captured on video opening his suit jacket and flashing a holstered pistol to shaken students who were on a visit to the Statehouse in Indianapolis to voice their concerns about guns and school shootings, according to The Statehouse File."I'm carrying one right now," R...

LanternEverywhere ,

In some states that's a crime, it's called brandishing. Does anyone know if Indiana has a brandishing law?

LanternEverywhere ,

That's not at all necessarily a bad business move. Restaurants close for a ton of different reasons, location being just one of the possible ones.

LanternEverywhere ,

Very confusing and poorly explained, but cool looking nonetheless

‘Anti-European’ populists on track for big gains in EU elections, says report ( www.theguardian.com )

Populist “anti-European” parties are heading for big gains in June’s European elections that could shift the parliament’s balance sharply to the right and jeopardise key pillars of the EU’s agenda including climate action, polling suggests....

How many times can someone vote for the Leopards Eating Faces party again and again after they've eaten your face a million times already?

Scoop: Israel proposes 2-month fighting pause in Gaza for release of all hostages ( www.axios.com )

Israel has given Hamas a proposal through Qatari and Egyptian mediators that includes up to two months of a pause in the fighting as part of a multi-phase deal that would include the release of all remaining hostages held in Gaza, two Israeli officials said....

LanternEverywhere ,

My guess is because they don't actually want a ceasefire, they want to keep fighting until they've taken more Palestinian land. But by making this non-viable offer they can pretend that they're trying to end the fighting

Apple vision will be a very good product ...in a few years, after it's much cheaper and more capable. But as of today, you can get an oculus quest which does a large percent of the same stuff for literally 10% of the price

Get a quest, you can stream your videos to a huge virtual screen for literally 10% of the price of an apple vision

Violent video games decrease stress hormones, study finds ( www.psypost.org )

In a surprising twist to the long-debated topic of video game violence, a recent study suggests that playing violent video games might actually decrease stress hormones in some players. Contrary to popular belief, the study found no increase in aggressive tendencies, indicating a more complex relationship between video game...

LanternEverywhere ,

Not surprising at all. Animal's stress hormones don't go up after a battle you walk away from unharmed.

Absolutely. I'm SUPER pro-worker, pro-union, etc., but unskilled labor isn't a myth. There are some jobs that can be done with essentially no training or skills at all. These jobs should pay a living wage, because all jobs should. But that doesn't change the fact that some jobs require little-to-no skill. I think that repeating this false claim actually HURTS the movement for fair wages, because it's not a supportable argument.

This is Archie from the show The Great. Fuck that guy with a cactus. He's just a puppet of Putin to control people using religion.

P.S. if you've never watched The Great, do yourself a favor and watch it

LanternEverywhere ,

Absolutely. The tagline under the title logo says "an occasionally true story"

LanternEverywhere ,

Don't bank on it. It's a possibility of course, but it's at least as likely that it doesn't happen, so you should do reasonable preparations for if the society you're living in DOESN'T collapse.

This is a misleading headline. It's not talking about the existing Alexa products suddenly requiring a subscription for them to work, no the rumor is talking about a subscription for their upcoming higher tier Alexa Plus service with more advanced capabilities that's based on generative AI.

Since there's 8 billion people on the planet and pretty much everyone has caught covid, that 14% statistic means about 1 billion people have long covid

You two sound very young, like middle school or early high school. If that's the case then don't worry about it, it's probably just excitement or nervousness. Just enjoy being young and in young love.

LanternEverywhere ,

Wow that would be cool to see if they're able to get it on the ballot, but i doubt a place like Missouri would have a majority voting for abortion access

LanternEverywhere ,

It's not meth. At all. The methyl group on the molecule makes it have massively different pharmacokinetics.

LanternEverywhere ,

Absolutely not. That is complete bullshit.

LanternEverywhere ,

So what? I don't give a shit what advertisers think they need to increase their profit.

LanternEverywhere ,

The concorde (or the knock off, i forget which) had a nose cone that moved, so something like that could be potentially designed for the new aircrafts design too

LanternEverywhere ,

We're all in agreement, but as OP said, this
particular person isn't the time to make your stand on. We've all been vocally against the death penalty for a long time, but this specific person is not the one to make an especially strong "this is the line, no further" kind of stand for. I'm against him being killed like I'm against all cases of the government killing prisoners, but I'm also not doing any extra standing up for this particular person.

LanternEverywhere ,

Yeah fuck this guy. He made his own bed, now he has to lie in it. I hope the US doesn't give up anything to get this guy out.

LanternEverywhere ,

I don't understand why anyone likes this show. The dialog, jokes, and plots are all extremely cliche.

LanternEverywhere ,

I made it through the middle of the 3rd season just because i was using it as mindless tv, and i completely disagree. It started off bad, stayed at that level for the first season or two, and then tanked and became straight garbage.

LanternEverywhere ,

Show me a cop who doesn't park their personal car illegally and I'll stop thinking ACAB. It's not that that's terrible, it's that it's a glaringly visible sign that you believe laws don't apply to you.

LanternEverywhere ,

Most of us don't want to have NO police, we want BETTER police.

LanternEverywhere ,

In front of every police precinct in every large city in america.

And just to be clear, iirc this is a REAL quote of what Trump actually said.

New Study: How Often Should You Exercise for Optimal Benefits? ( www.theinnovativehorizon.com )

Edith Cowan University research revealed that muscle strength benefits are seen with consistent, short exercise sessions. Participants performing a three-second eccentric bicep contraction thrice weekly saw strength improvements. Daily 20-minute exercises might be more beneficial than a single 2-hour weekly session. Regularity,...

I think their question is if this is gameplay or a cut scene?
