Yeah, but it's not Youtube making the content I guess is my problem. Everyone is mostly here because of all the Reddit crap, doing the EXACT same thing google did to videos with youtube. No one here is completely fine with a "Reddit Premium Account!"^tm^ I patron a few creators so I help with what I can, I will not join the youtube "member" additional fee. I also have been trying to branch out to creators that upload to multiple sites, it can be a little bit of a pain like figuring out Lemmy and how everything works but obviously it's better than sticking with a company gouging and controlling content on their platform for profit.

A bowling ball. Can change some of the script so he catches it before it rolls off the raft but he falls in the water with it. He's too heavy and weak to make it back to the raft so he has to let go and watch it immediately sink or he's taken under too (also a good reference how it's hard to save someone from drowning when you're near drowning yourself). Definitely thought of a dildo first till I saw everyone else put it up though.

Once again, 105 comments and nothing about the actual article and it's information. Plenty of xenophobic comments against a population of a country (like the U.S. government is that great, so therefor I must be exactly like my political leaders). The Chess players had already competed against each other and the other player who was poisoned won by a default with a tie. There's some other reporting about a confrontation between the two and they've known each other for years apparently.

Chessbase said the dispute was over a recent match between the two in which "both chess players scored the same number of points, but the victory was awarded to Osmanova, based on additional factors."

Another Telegram channel says that the issue was about negative statements made by Osmanova about Abakarova and her family members.

One Russian news outlet said that the two had known each other for years but had recently fought. In this version of the story, Abakarova showed up to one recent match with a phone, which is against the rules. Osmanova was upset but did not tell the judges. "She should have been grateful to me that I didn’t make a fuss and forgave her," Osmanova said. "Instead, Amina refused to shake my hand during the competition last week."

Definitely not ok either way and I hope that they get a sentencing that matches the crime. This is just a bitter crazy person it seems and has nothing to do about poisoning to win a match. Love the disconnect on the sports world and rampant cheating like it doesn't exist everywhere lol.

edit: some grammar

I'm assuming the hand in the pocket is a regulated stance or at least is a pretty common pose to take. Makes me wonder what the most absurd item someone had in there pocket during an olympic event is.

ok, gonna have to school some peeps with some pizza knowledge today.

First off, this is a thin crust. Dough comes to the store pre-made with perforations, you might get one small bubble in a thousand pizzas. So, not a bubble issue. (sorry @Ghyste@sh.itjust.works)

2nd, the pizza was cut previously from the incident as indicated by the cut marks of the classic "8 slice-large". These cuts have been covered where the cheese has been squashed from the smushing After cutting. (sorry @anothercatgirl@lemmy.blahaj.zone) Also, the ovens are designed to only allow a particular height through, bottles on top of a pizza wouldn't even make it in and the smell would be atrocious.

C, the standard thin crust from PJ's comes only with special seasoning (a small paper packet of seasoning) and some pepperoncini peppers, it does not contain the round garlic sauce containers. If it had, the marks would start round and end round. (sorry again @Ghyste@sh.itjust.works)

Two likely culprits in my book, one would be the oven attendants personal bottle. On busy days you have seconds to cut, package, and add all the sides (wings are the worse with extra sauce on them and extra side sauce you always run out of). Damaging a pizza can be a daily occurrence. Lastly, probably a sauce bottle itself. There are several of such size and design for the garlic Parmesan, buffalo, bbq, etc. Whole container full of bottles you usually hand off to someone helping you catch up and probably dropped it into the open box after cutting and before putting on the heating rack.

The reality, this was probably a bad pizza set off to the side on the heat rack. There are no sides present and typically you'll see a wet residue from the peppers once they're placed in the box (you don't put sides in a bad pizza/one being remade). The slice stolen was probably a co-worker grabbing a slice during working hours and another co-worker took the rest home. Probably thought it was funny and snapped a photo for the sharing feels.

edit: changed cooling rack to heating rack, I will now perform Seppuku with my pizza cutter for my disgrace.

Almost 10 comments in this thread and near 400 words from you without one single explanation of WHY Mark Kelly is a bad choice. You're one example of why voters are so uninformed, you would rather argue than present anything credible for others to learn.

You do realize you don't "own" anything on Steam right? Every dollar you give them is towards a "subscription" to play the game.

For any community (or even post) you are in, there is a "Modlog" green button on the side bar. If I see a removed comment I click on it to see what was removed and typically 99% of it is legitimate. The only downside (which I've been meaning to make a post mentioning it), is if someone is banned it auto-deletes all of their comments but doesn't show each individual one. If you're looking for a perfect system of which people can't abuse mod powers ... well good luck and definitely let me know if you ever find it lol.

lol you're like the perfect Lemmy parody at this point. Even got some name calling in because I have an account on .ml? You're a child.

For anyone else, lets go to the DNC's responses when questioned on whether their elections are fair and balanced

we could have voluntarily decided that, Look, we’re gonna go into back rooms like they used to and smoke cigars and pick the candidate that way. That’s not the way it was done. But they could have. And that would have also been their right… - DNC attorney Bruce Spiva. DNC lawyers have argued and continue to argue that the Democratic Party doesn’t owe anyone a fair process. It has every right to disregard its own rules or interpret its rules how it wants because it is a private organization

Bruce Spiva, representing the DNC, made the argument that would eventually carry the day: … as he explained how the DNC worked, Spiva made a hypothetical argument that the party wasn’t really bound by the votes cast in primaries or caucuses. “The party has the freedom of association to decide how it’s gonna select its representatives to the convention and to the state party,” said Spiva. “Even to define what constitutes evenhandedness and impartiality really would already drag the court well into a political question and a question of how the party runs its own affairs. The party could have favored a candidate. I’ll put it that way.”

fucking unreal. I watched the explosions the other day live while the reporters just sat there like gleeful children waiting for the countdown. Not one mention of the people on board or the situation that's going on, had no fucking clue anyone was still on board till I saw this post. There has to be some type of protocol that doesn't let you set off explosives in an inhabited vessel, absolutely no way this was done legally without intervention.

I sat there innocently wondering if the ship would move (since no one would be on a ship they're setting explosives off on) but figured they had anchored it pretty heavily beforehand and evacuated.
