You mean Kansas?

This is fake/satire… No one is going to tell you cannot ask about responsibilities

Nazi snowflakes deserve jobs too! /s

My partner said this also, but personally I find her the least interesting person in history. I really doubt there’s much to her life besides her using her looks to manipulate her reality. She randomly met the right rich loser and used him for his money. Then his psychopathic personality led him to the white house. If they did make that documentary I would watch it, but I feel pretty confident I would be disgusted by a terrible person getting humanized and being reminded by the awful destruction of the United States that weighs literally zero on her conscience.

There is no way to square her actions with anything but a soulless money-hungry void where a human is supposed to be. She may be most remembered by her explicit choice to wear a jacket reading “I really don’t care, do you?” When visiting a prison for immigrants. And if that turns out to be the case, it would be fair. She’s a fucking monster, and every day she doesn’t kill or divorce Trump is a day she proves that

I saw that too. They were all a bunch of rich Republicans. The screening was at the Kennedy center so it wouldn’t surprise me if basically everyone watching that screening was a government worker (or their friend/family) who probably moved to DC specifically to work for their favorite fascist.

I also wondered how those people could be real and studying them wouldn’t be a bad idea.

Say what you mean: “I do not care what is true because what I want to happen is way more important”.

Sure go ahead and assume I want the cat to die. Which I didn’t. What the fuck.

The cat was rescued apparently anyway.

Careful, a bunch of downvotes and nasty comments probably are coming your way despite there being a good reason for such regulations.

Apparently, yes.

Since you’re going to assume the worst possible reading, I will assume projection on your part.

Yeah, I knew when I commented it might get some backlash, but the strength of it is somewhat depressing. Isn’t Lemmy supposed to be mostly rational intelligent people?

I guess it just tells us how commonplace it is for people to declare a risk either worth it or non-existent without a fucking clue about the actual risk they are talking about.

In any case, thank you for demonstrating that there are still some sane people left out there.

I never remotely commented that backup systems shouldn’t be tested. Bizarre.

I do not follow the logic of people being so blinded by their love of cats that they literally think they can become electrical grid engineers and know all the risks, just because they want to know them.

It does not matter if every single vulnerable building has backups and tested them yesterday (obviously none of that could ever be close to true), it’s still a non-zero risk to human lives, for one cat.

Patently absurd. Technology often fails regardless of what you do. Inviting that failure would be negligence and should be illegal.

The one thing I know for sure about any engineer is that we are intimately familiar with the concept of things failing when it’s least convenient.

There would always be a risk any backup systems fail. As another commenter pointed out, in other countries it would be illegal to cut power like that for that kind of reason. And that’s a good thing. Power is literally keeping people alive and shouldn’t be turned off because it seems mean to leave it on.

But a better point is, no one discussing this knows what downstream effects could happen if they killed the power. Seems kind of crazy to me to pretend we do.

Has anyone considered that turning off the power might not even be possible without turning it off at hospitals and other critical locations…?

Chattanooga is definitely cool. And yeah, there’s a reason I left the south. And I didn’t “have to compare” TN to Alabama and Mississippi, those are just easy examples. There must be 10 states worse to live in, for the reasons you specify, than Tennessee.

pedal bar woo girl to their hotels?

Is this English?

Putting aside the “100%” remark, you’re really giving Georgia as the other example? The place that swung blue as a backlash to this shit.

Tennessee is a big place. It actually also has some strongly blue areas, believe it or not. As a state, it’s not worse than Alabama or Mississippi.
