I love seeing the “FRENCH GOVERNMENT COLLAPSES” headlines.

Like… A governmental collapse and this gestures broadly at France are two VERY different things.

And if I’m being honest, when I first saw the headline I wondered if they floated raising the retirement age again and got rioted into a burned down parliament.

France will be okay, they have protocols for this sort of thing.

… Right? I don’t know nearly as much about the current French government as I do pre-napoleonic France. Am dum American.

It’s “Jesus take the WHEEL” not “Jesus take the YOKE”

BiHnuch, please

Their ashes will pave the road to Gre’thor. The cowardly and the damned will tread upon them for an eternity of suffering.

you cannot seriously be proposing that we relax fire code for rentals.

Sorry to butt-in on this exchange, but I did not see anywhere they proposed such a thing?

I’ve been homeless and I’ve gotta say, fire codes are worth the toilet paper they’re printed on when it’s getting cold out, and you’ve been through 6 days of constant rain.

So they’ll have to give her a job again. But then she won’t be homeless anymore.

I can confirm, having a job (or 3) does not provide a home.

As an American, what the fuck are you talking about?

Good to see the police openly lying

… Have they ever done anything else?

I read them, UN.

So there’s at least one more!

There was on one that I’ve been in, not sure about this one.

From my understanding, when an MRI is emergency stopped it doesn’t stop immediately, and it causes a lot of damage, so staff are less likely to use it in an emergency. Stupid, yes. But when you’re worried about getting fired for hitting a button, you’re less likely to think of a situation as an emergency. You would think “chain strangling a man” constitutes an emergency though…

As for the staff not stopping the guy making a beeline for the door with more than just words, I’m not sure. I would prefer staff tackle me to the floor rather than let me blithely walk to my doom. Of course I’m only in my 30s…

The hospital is absolutely partly to blame, especially if they didn’t properly convey the danger beforehand. All 3 hospitals I’ve recieved an MRI from have been pretty insistent about making sure I have no metal on or around me before I go in the doors though.

I’d say it’s about 60/40 on the hospital.

how did it not throw up red flags all around letting this guy wear it around that machine.

He wasn’t allowed in the room.

His wife panicked in the MRI, he charged into the room he was told not to go Into.

Wow, I sure am glad I know where to avoid dirty mods for skyrim now.

I can bookmark it so I know not to go there!

But is it interactive?

Also I’m sure part of it for some people is the corruption of something that wasn’t originally smut.

Wow, that’s terrible! What mod is this? So I can avoid it? What a weird thing! That I’m definitely going to avoid and not go check out.

But I am a tad mystified. I do wonder what kind of lifestyle it is that leads a person to turn a videogame main menu into hardcore pornography.

It must be the author’s first day on the internet.

If the internet were banned globally, porn mags would immediately disappear from shelves, and anything up to and including national geographic where they show cultures where clothing is sparse would all be hard to find, as the porn starved masses come out of their jizz encrusted caves to find something to give them that little hit of dopamine and oxytocin.

NYS rangers

How did I miss that part? That’s on me.

Yeah state parks, rangers, and anything that positively manages government land has always gotten the short end of the stick. The state police aren’t as militarily kitted out as some local PDs, at least in my experience.

A state park near where I grew up was basically begging for volunteers because they didn’t have the budget to take care of the park more than 3ft from the parking lot. (mild exaggeration, but you get the idea)

This whole time I’ve been thinking its some local city cops with too much time and not enough training…

I’m sure their massively inflated budget can handle it. Presumably the hikers pay their taxes.

Taken to police… For wasting their time? I’m confused what actual harm they did.

Oh no they ate a fungus. Hardened criminals. Probably ms13. Gotta deport them now.

My first thought was “… Again? They need some better contraceptives” but no, it’s the same one… A shame, that would open the door for so many jokes.

That’s why I specified or wingtip vortex.

In some situations you can see a trail behind a wingtip that can persist. although doesn’t leave the huge vapor cloud that lingers for hours, I have heard plenty of people conspiracy nuts refer to them as “Chem trails” right along with the actual contrail. Living near an airport, you get all kinds of crazy.

If the state decides to ignore any kind of court telling them otherwise, then I would imagine Florida would no longer have flyovers from any airline, and any aircraft capable of producing a contrail or wingtip vortex would no longer operate in the state.

Goodbye florida airports, I guess.
