  • What do you want for Christmas but you probably won't get?

    Jump

  • For all the children of the world to join hands and sing in the spirit of harmony and peace.

  • Any one else have absolutely wild dreams?

    Jump

  • Usually no, but the last 2 days, yes. They have involved very accurate plays of songs I don't normally listen to (which I can't remember ever dreaming about before). The first was "9 to 5" by Dolly Parton. I was in a bar and it was being played. Heard every note for about 30 seconds. There was a guy in the band whose role was to suck smoke out of a dish with a slab of dry ice in it and blow it into a microphone.

    The second song was "Only the Lonely" by Roy Orbison. I've maybe heard this song 3 times in my life I think. But it seemed note perfect. The situation was I was hanging out with 3 people I called The Performer, The Guy, and The Lonely. The first two guys had to leave and... cue the song.

    EDIT: cue... thanks SpaceNoodle

  • Hypothetically, if you are a witness or whistleblower who's adversary was a very big corporation (such as boeing), what measures could you take to prevent yourself from being "suicided"?

  • All it takes is money to hire someone who is capable.

  • What is this rule, some kind of Suicide Squad?

    Jump

  • I suppose if this were real, the charging warriors must all think they can glance the pike off their shield and barrel through. However, they end up glancing it to the left or right, surprising the warrior next to them who gets stabbed. They themselves get stabbed by the pike being glanced by the warrior next to them.

    Assuming an equal number of front line charging warriors to pike soldiers, if charging warriors all glanced left or all glanced right, there would be 1 charging warrior left unharmed.

    However, if every 2nd charging warrior agreed to sacrifice the guy between them and both glance towards him, 2N / 3 warriors could survive to fight on. The middle guy would also have to agree to not attempt to block the pike. He'd have to just run into it. But that is optimal I think.

  • Does anyone else think the NYPD photos of the UHC CEO shooting suspect don’t match?

  • What is the worst movie that you enjoy watching?

    Jump

  • A recent one: Ernest Saves Christmas

    Almost every line of this movie gets quoted around my house all year.

  • Simple and tasty: 3-4 chicken breasts. Pour a jar of your favorite salsa over it. Cook.

    When ready to eat, shred the chicken, put it back in pot and stir it up with the salsa. Awesome tacos, burritos, nachos, chicken sandwiches, etc.

  • A Social Etiquette Question

    Jump

  • Seems like if she's interested, she might invite you in for a drink or coffee next time you drop your kid at their house. If she's too shy, maybe you offer next time she drops her kid at your house. If she stays in her car as little Billy runs up, that's a sign she's not interested (or just busy at that moment).

    I also like the idea of offering to take the boys to a movie or something and inviting her. But she may just want to see a movie, so that's not a total green light. If she grabs your dick during the movie though, that's a pretty good sign.

  • Programmers of Lemmy, what are your interviewing horror stories?

    Jump

  • Imagine if you just had to scroll down to get to the other options like "Does not describe me", and they are still talking about "The biggest psychopath we've ever interviewed - just out of morbid curiosity. "

  • What was the worst book you’ve ever read?

    Jump

  • [My initial reply got posted top- level for some reason]

    True, he straight up admits many times in the books that he would lie about his wealth so that other people would work with him. I assume that came out during his fraud case in NY.

    He had a few deals that worked out - all starting with dad's money. He managed to squander 4 out of 5 of everything he tried. Casinos in Atlantic City, Trump University, Trump Steaks, Trump Ice, Wollman Rink, etc. It's a long list. But the 1 or 2 that worked is why he has any money at all. If I remember correctly, it's mostly the golf courses and an option he bought in the 70s for an old railroad yard in lower west side Manhatten I think. He really fucked someone over on that one. He bragged about how much he screwed them for pages and pages. Like it brought him more joy to fuck someone over than it did to have a success. He's a complete psychopath.

  • I already bought the books + it was like watching a car accident. I just couldn't believe this guy was a successful businessman.

  • What was the worst book you’ve ever read?

    Jump

  • The first 5 or so of Trump's books. No meaningful lessons in business to be had. Just him bragging about people he knew, people he'd screwed over, how good he thought he was at pretty much everything. How he got back at anyone who crossed him. Insufferable. I knew he was one of the worst people ever before he even mentioned getting into politics.

    And in those 5 books, he probably name-dropped every New York socialite he ever met. It's consistent with his whole image of self-worth and needing to look and feel important. You know who he didn't mention? Someone we've seen him with in several photos? Who he definitely would have mentioned if there wasn't a reason not to? Jeffrey Epstein.

  • Cobb County Sheriff called deputies for help after Burger King got his order wrong

    Jump

  • How fucked up in your thinking and judgement do you have to be to:

    • Get that angry about an order being wrong in the first place. So much so the restaurant locks their doors because they are scared of you.
    • Call in backup
    • WAIT for backup to arrive (clearer thinking would normally set in here)
    • STILL act like you're being reasonable (when he knows he's on body camera)

    This guy is a true psychopath.
