No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Is MMA and UFC "somewhat" rigged like boxing was in the Don King era?
1·26 days agoI don’t know but how could they rig Conor McGregors broken leg?

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Can I become a writer when this is the quality of my writing? Please be honest.
3·28 days agoGet on Facebook and find the authors supporting authors group. Post it there and see the feedback. Make sure you make it very apparent you did not use Ai.
On the other hand, put this in ChatGPT or something and ask it for its “opinion”

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What wishes you made were granted in a "monkey's paw curls" way but in a positive direction?
14·30 days agoI wished that I could have every single video game ever made
With emulation it is possible to do that.
But you fall out of the video game hobby and you don’t find enjoyment out of playing.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Anyone know yet how to get some of the Trumps 1.7 billion slush fund? I mean I hate fucking Trump. But I could come up with a good yarn how Biden came after me? Plus Lemmy needs new servers.
34·1 month agoA company I worked for was “awarded” several million dollars from Trump. The CEO was awarded a bonus for the same amount they got for the government.
To answer your question, if you have a million dollars, donate it to Trump. Then you can see your million dollar “investment” reap tenfold.

Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•The idiot mayor of Toronto extended bar hours to 4am so fans in Toronto can enjoy the World Cup no matter time the game is
3·1 month agoWe had the same thing happen in Kansas City.
Missouri State Government passed a bill which would allow bars in Kansas City, MO to stay open 23 hours a day.
But Mayor Lucas passed a city ordinance which “vetoes” the state law, prohibiting bars within the city from opening for 23 hours.
There was a bar, Blueline Hockey Bar, who went to social media blasting the mayor.
Finally, the mayor walked back his steps and passed a motion allowing bars to stay open for 23 hours.
This ordinance only allows Kansas City bars to stay open 23 hours a day throughout the World Cup games.

PC Master Race@lemmy.world•Lego Batman Legacy Of The Dark Knight Leaked And Pirated 3 Days Before Release And 7 Hours Before Early AccessEnglish
5·1 month agoI saw Giant Bomb’s quick look and I lost interest.
I thought it was going to be more of Arkham Asylum but instead it is another Lego game.
Glad they included all these Batman references from years past.

Technology@lemmy.world•Ryan Cohen Says He ‘Isn’t Passionate’ About GameStop As He Makes Desperate Bid For eBayEnglish
7·1 month agoGameStop has a certain percentage of eBay stock. Essentially they “own” a relative large percentage of eBay already. They also have a substantial amount of third party funding.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•What’s the easiest way to get certified to practice law in the U.S.?
19·2 months agoBecome an LLC.
LLC’s have more rights than citizens.
You start an LLC, name it something lawyer sounding like the last names of your friends but never call it a law firm. Call it civil representation.
Then when you get a customer not a client you can send letters on their behalf.
Most people freak out when they get an official looking letter with a “law name” on it. I’m not talking about the minority of people on here, but the majority of the population.
As long as you disclose your LLC does not practice law and you are simply “representing them” in a very general and broad sense you will be good.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•What ever happened to Pizza Hut's Book It program? Where you read a book get a star and if you get five stars you get a free personal pan.
11·2 months agoThey still have it but it is not as common as it once was. Pizza Hut has a book it nonprofit they funnel money into.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Even if we found a feasible way through physics to travel through time, wouldn't it still be impossible due to the evolution of bacteria and our immune systems?
28·2 months agoNobody thinks about that but yes it would. You are not immune to the black plague so you might get that even if you are vaccinated. Plus who knows how many viruses and diseases happened back then.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What is your favorite WrestleMania of all time?
4·2 months agoStone cold vs the rock. In the middle of the attitude era.
That’s a Geo Tracker and it was close to 40 mpg as you were going to get in the late 90s. That and the geo metro.

Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•Everybody in this video is a bit too happy.
6·2 months agoThey show a target employee getting arrested but the target managers and their loss prevention people keep on high fiving and getting excited to fire this person. Cops were excited too. It just seems a little weird to see all these people getting excited about ruining this persons life.
He would be remembered as a martyr. Someone who gave up his life for all of us.
I interviewed a drug dealer that has been in the field for over 25 years. He looks just a regular guy. Nice house. Two kids. A wife who works. You would have no idea this neighbor was a dealer.
He and I wrote a book together.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Is it wrong of me not giving a shit when cops get killed? They signed up for the job know what it entails. Same with Firepeople. I feel bad 4 families but no one gives a shit about Nurses or DRs?
13·3 months agoPeople’s intuition on risk is wildly off here.
Skydiving sounds insane, but in the U.S. it’s ~9–10 deaths a year out of millions of jumps (roughly 1 in a few hundred thousand per jump).
Driving feels normal, but it kills ~40,000+ people every single year.
So yeah—both involve “transportation,” but the one everyone does casually every day is orders of magnitude deadlier than the one that sounds extreme.
Walmart loss prevention are terrible. They are willing to die so Walmart doesn’t lose $35 worth of food.
I saw a police cam video of a woman who accidentally didn’t scan a $10 item. No big deal. I have been guilty of that myself. You get reminded to scan the item.
These L&P people called the cops and then the cops called for back up. They stopped the woman before she left and had her arrested.
No prior offenses. She had a baby with her (less than a year old). Just someone who made a simple mistake and would easily be fixed with simple conversation.
But Walmart L&P was not having it. Telling the cops to charge her to the furthest extent
Even the cops were like “Hey she didn’t do this maliciously. She has not left the store. She can still pay for the item. “
Walmart L&P told the cops to “teach her a lesson”
The cops were “nice enough” to wait until the baby’s father arrived to take the baby but the woman got arrested for not ringing up a $10 item
The L&P had these smug looks as if they took down some Batman villain. Giving each other high fives when this woman was put in cuffs.
Not to sound like an ass but I don’t understand the whole “Anybody hiring? Need a job fast!”
I ask them about their tech stack because I have a number of recruiters who can’t find people.
They always tell me they don’t have a tech stack and would prefer something retail oriented.
