The NSA knows just how many backdoors and security holes are in US infrastructure. After all, who do you think put them there?

When talking about where you live, you don’t “stay at”, you live at a place.

Perhaps a social critique of our post-capitalist hellscape? We no longer “live” anywhere. We just stay places.

It’s a knight light. It keeps the monsters away.

Want to really make a power move in life? Go through your grocery store clockwise, like a psychopath. Just to show you won’t let the system control you!

Simple. They should only be legal to own if they’re fixed.

I want the most anti-British option. I know! We’re going to do away with clocks entirely. We wake up when we wake up. We work when we work. We forget counting the days. Forget the calendar entirely. Live forever in an eternal now.

No. Let’s go for the craziest option. Continuous time zones! Your clock changes a bit every mile east or west you go.

You are vastly underestimating the social awkwardness that comes with telling someone they smell. Maybe you have a very different relationship than most do with their friends, but it would take quite a lot before I would bring that kind of thing up. In a professional setting, I would want to get HR involved before pointing that out to someone. I would let them figure out a polite way of asking the coworker to fix their B.O.

Everyone needs a bidet. Literally clean yo stinky ass up!

In our nightmare world where fame is money, being deprecated IS being depreciated!

We should organize libraries not by name, or even the Dewey decimal system, but simply by title length. Fiction, non fiction, jounrla articles, doesn’t matter. It’s all just in one stupid long list, shortest title to longest title.

In the US at least, employment discrimination is fine if it’s due to a bona fide requirement of the job. Ie, the person is fundamentally incapable of performing a job even with reasonable accomodation.

An example of reasonable accomodation is a modified computer/desk setup for someone in a wheel chair. They need a bit more room for maneuvering about their workspace. But someone who is paraplegic is perfectly capable of working most office jobs.

Someone in a wheelchair however is fundamentally incapable of performing certain manual labor jobs, and it is perfectly legal to not hire them for those positions. Quadriplegic people can’t work manual construction labor. You’re not pouring concrete when you’re paralyzed from the neck down, and no reasonable accomodation is going to make that possible.

So for vampires, it really depends on what their work-relevant disabilities are, and how difficult it is to accommodate them. Need to be invited in? A reasonable accomodation for a police department would be to simply not have their vampire officers serve search warrants. They can still respond to emergency calls, as a call for help could give implied permission to enter a home. Vampire officers can still patrol, perform traffic duties, perform detective work, etc. But they simply can’t participate in search warrants execution.

The daylight limitations may be more limiting. Sure a vampire could wear a hood and gloves, and that’s little different from someone wearing a hijab. But it’s still dangerous from a workplace safety concern. All it takes is a perp pulling on your hood, and you start boiling? Huge liability risk for the department. So maybe vampire officers will need to be limited to indoor desk work or the night shift. I think hiring them only for the night shift would be a reasonable accommodation.

Overall, I think vampires could easily be employed as police officers. Some reasonable accommodations are required, but a department outright prohibiting the hiring of vampires likely violates the Americans with Disabilities Act.

The US is also considering such a measure. Any individuals who consume illicit narcotic vaccines will be required to spend three years in a state-run wellness farm. /s

How long do you think it will be until he’s laying hands on you?

There is zero chance this personality test doesn’t isn’t also biased based on ethnicity, gender, and disability status. It is absolutely certain that it is. All opaque personality tests like these always are.

I refuse to accept it. I don’t make deals with magical tricksters. Same reason I don’t fuck around with genies. It’s just not worth it man.

The real problem is on a per-drug basis. Canada has the ability to make 70% of its medicine on average. But doubtlessly it’s making 500% of its own needs for some medications and 0% for others. Cut that supply off overnight, and a lot of people unlucky enough to be reliant on the 0% ones are going to die.

Asking for a friend. What kind of charges would a person face if they used a large drone to release a hundred chickens onto the field of a major NFL game?

I’m down with that. In fact, can Canada just annex Oregon and Washington? I would consider emigrating to Canada myself. But…that’s hardly a trivial thing to do. Plus packing is such a pain in the ass. Plus, selling a house, moving companies and all that. Ugh. What an effort. It would be a lot more convenient for me if we could just move the border a good ways south.
