Laws of physics? They're more what you'd call "guidelines" than actual rules

Why are they even ziptied? Are the cops afraid of being beat up by grandmas ?

J'ai toujours eu du mal a comprendre la différence profonde entre le principe des tickets restaurants et les gens qui donnent une pièce a des SDF en précisant "C'est pas pour acheter de l'alcool ou de la drogue hein !".

Je trouve les restrictions du ticket restaurant tellement paternalistes

I recognize Prague's Charles Bridge at the bottom right but what are those on the bottom left and bottom center?

Voyager adding a cake picture next to your name for this comment is pretty great. Also, happy lemmyversary

Ah yes, 1917's Germany, obviously led by radical leftist Nazi emperor Wilhelm II

Yeah, shower sex might be one of the most overrated things I know. It always feels like a good idea at first and then you quickly realize that the logistics of it are hell

I think Putin's very glad to see the West tearing itself apart by litteraly covering up a genocide and aiding a war of agression

I work for a retailer and have been loosely involved in a project like that a few years ago.

Basically, it felt like it was mostly a very inexpensive way for the company to get everyone involved feel good about themselves. The free advertising was definitely an argument to get the higher-ups on board, but my impression was that it was kinda secondary compared to the kinda fake good conscience it gave everyone.

There was definitely no tax breaks for that initiative though, so at least in my country that is indeed a myth

EDIT: You also get to say in your annual report to the shareholders that the company helped raise x millions euros to charities at no cos, which in turn makes them feel good about themselves without impacting their profits.

Apart from the obvious "arresting a senator for asking questions" thing, is whatever's happening on this picture standard procedure for arresting an unarmed, unthreatening person in the US? It looks like they're arresting a terrorist or a dangerous suspect

Wait, when they say "Bob SquarePants" they mean it as an answer to that question? Honestly that seems a bit far fetch, you're reading into the lyrics too much
