When you get to the point that a problem you need to call support on also stumps them.

Nougat@fedia.ioto Dad for a Minute@lemmy.world•Hey dad, I just want to hear "I'm proud of you and what you have achieved" from you22·3 hours agoI’m not your dad, but I’m proud of you. Not for the A-levels, not for the Bachelor’s, but for the effort and work you put in to achieve those milestones. Getting through school is hard. It’s like having a job with several bosses all wanting to be your first priority, each one with different requirements for how they want the work done. That takes a lot of patience, a lot of time management, a lot of sacrifice, and as above, a lot of work.
The diplomas and degrees represent those things. I’m proud of you. You’re going to have plenty more opportunies to be patient, manage time, sacrifice, and work - and not all of them are going to have concrete rewards as evidence. Be proud of yourself; there’s no shame in that.
Nougat@fedia.ioMto Resist: It's Time@fedia.io•Your rights as a protester: What to know and what to do if you’re detained24·6 hours agoYou do not have to say anything or sign anything.
Not exactly true. If you want to exercise your Fifth Amendment rights to remain silent, you must explicitly and clearly invoke them. “I am exercising my Fifth Amendment rights” works. “I want to speak to a lawyer” also works. Simply remaining silent can be interpreted by police as “being uncooperative” or even “being threatening”, and can bring associated consequences.
You have the right to make a local phone call, and if you’re calling your lawyer, police are not allowed to listen.
While this is true, you don’t get to choose where or more importantly when that phone call happens. You also won’t have your phone, and police are not obligated to let you get phone numbers from it.
Don’t argue, resist or obstruct the police, even if you believe your rights are being violated.
Unless you have reason to believe that your life is in danger because of the police. If you have reason to believe that you will be rendered to a foreign prison, for example, fight for your fucking life.
Finally, yes, you have these rights. They can and will be trampled upon. If you desire recourse, you’ll need to find and pay a lawyer, and spend lots of time navigating the justice system. The odds that you will succeed in that endeavor are vanishingly small. If you do eventually manage to get a judgment in your favor, good luck collecting on it.
Nougat@fedia.ioto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Why do fancy cars look fancy and cheap cars don't? Can't you just slap a Lamborghini-style chassis onto a lawnmower engine if you want?5·7 hours agoAlso, the Countach wasn’t drawn by a four year old.
“fuck pigs”
Nougat@fedia.ioto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Why do fancy cars look fancy and cheap cars don't? Can't you just slap a Lamborghini-style chassis onto a lawnmower engine if you want?4·7 hours agoSomewhat related: The apperance of the Lamborghini Countach was originally a piece of concept art that Lamborghini decided to make into reality. The designers of the actual car were given the mission of “Make a car that looks like this,” and went from there.
Nougat@fedia.ioto Not The Onion@lemmy.world•No jail time for B.C. man with ‘relatively modest’ child porn collection, judge rules25·10 hours agoI mean, who hasn’t accidentally downloaded CSAM when searching for “sunsets and beaches”, right?
Nougat@fedia.iotoMicroblog Memes@lemmy.world•State Gov:It's now illegal for you to not follow a new fed law bc you're following a different fed law. Also, we had to make this a law bc we hate bureaucracy and government tyranny13·10 hours agoThe number of police officers who are going to be willing to take this to court once they have standing can be counted on zero hands.
Nougat@fedia.ioto politics @lemmy.world•This Is What Trump Does When His Revolution Sputters39·10 hours agoWow, no. This isn’t an all-of-a-sudden “shit we have to resort to violence” thing. Violence has always been the plan.
Nougat@fedia.ioto Progressive Politics@lemmy.world•[Video] LA cops shoot woman trying to get to her home with rubber bullet5·11 hours agoNo, they’re targeting people who try to take rubber bullets home with them.
Nougat@fedia.ioto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•What was life like for the "average" person living in Nazi Germany33·12 hours agoEarly on and up to at least the start of the war, I believe things got better for the “average” German - because the State was operating on stolen wealth and fraudulent loans, while serving the needs of fewer people (read: not “real” Germans).
Nougat@fedia.ioto Canada@lemmy.ca•City Workers Walk Off the Job over “Mandatory Barbecue”30·12 hours agoAre they paying them for their attendance at said barbecue? Are the hours/time of day aligned with existing union contracts? If the answer to both of those is yes, then you go. And do absolutely nothing there.
I’m guessing the answer to those is no, which means the company can’t oblige them to be there. Further threatening to dock pay for non-attendance is 100% worth a walkoff.
Nougat@fedia.ioto politics @lemmy.world•Gov. Greg Abbott to deploy Texas National Guard in anticipation of protests28·13 hours ago“Peaceful protests are part of the fabric of our nation, …”
You know what else is part of the fabric of our nation? Violent protests. You know who’s usually on the side of starting those? The State.
Nougat@fedia.ioto News@lemmy.world•Trump announces he is restoring names of Confederate leaders to military bases461·1 day agoMakes sense that a failure would want to name things after failures.
Not sure what made you ask that, but yeah, thanks for asking. You?
