How often do people meow at you? When was the last time? It's a lot for me for sure. Anytime we're in a crowd I hear it. We were at WWE Summerslam last weekend and heard it there. People scream all sorts of things, mostly at Farva. It's a chorus of meows. I was getting on a plane a year ago and the gate agent was doing the meow game during boarding announcements. I thought it was cool that he saw me and gave me that little tip of the hat. But then I walk up to board and he recognizes me and freaks out, "OH MY GOD, I DIDN'T KNOW YOU WERE HERE!!". Apparently he does the meow game all the time haha. He says it drives people crazy, -Paul You know it's actually a big trend in commercial aviation right now. My buddy flies jumbo jets out of Chicago and he says that the amount of times you hear the radio guys in the towers doing the meow game is astonishing. It drives the old people crazy, they don't know what the hell it is. You have these really angry older aviation guys yelling on the radio about it. -Jay

Go to soundtransit r/soundtransit • 26m ago Exploding_Deathstar Profile Badge for the Achievement Top 1% Commenter Top 1% Commenter Pinehurst Update Construction on Pinehurst is getting close to wrapping up with the platform side getting the elevator and escalators finalized and completed. Work crews have been moving a lot of equipment off the platform and the final tiles and ADA walk finding styles are installed. The station screens are lit up as well but just a generic windows background for now. We have been given notice we will start doing simulated station stops soon, not opening the doors. Once construction is done, the speed coming into the station will increase slightly. Testing should begin when the LRV's are updated to include Pinehurst. The stop will add about 1 minute to the commute. (Slowing, stopping, 20 second dwell, acceleration) No official date but I would assume it'll occur during the August shakeup.

How do you know your boss killed somebody if there is no record of it? Vote u/Pale-Bite254 avatar Pale-Bite254 OP • 6m ago He told me, the co-owner/his roommate told me, my coworkers told me, his family came in and told me, two random homeless guys told me, the owner of the business next door told me, some drunk guys at the bar down the street told me, and there’s a fresh memorial for the guy at the place where my boss personally told me he killed someone
Hi guys, I have a really strange situation on my hands. Last month, my (now ex) boss killed a young man on a bike with his car in the Lake City neighborhood. The boss in question is a 76 year old man who can barely function and is unlicensed to drive. What’s so strange is that not only does he seem to be facing zero legal ramifications/fines and is still remorselessly driving without a license, but there’s virtually no information about the accident online. After doing some digging all I could find was a record from the King County Medical Examiner’s Office that matches the date, time, and location, but the cause of death is listed as “multiple blunt force injuries” whereas other traffic fatalities are listed as such. I’m definitely a legal layman so maybe there’s something going over my head, but surely this can’t be it? I don’t think the cyclist was riding safely, but it’s so weird that there’s no news coverage. Does anyone know if there’s an organization I could contact for more information? Could I call the medical examiner? Inquire with SPD? WTF

The percentage of Gen Z that think AI's usefulness outweigh its benefits now sits around fifty percent, up 11 percentage points in just the last year. Eight out of every ten believe that using AI makes the process of actual learning more difficult.

The distance between what is said and what is known to be true has become an abyss. Of all the things at risk, the loss of an objective reality is perhaps the most dangerous. The death of truth is the ultimate victory of evil. When truth leaves us, when we let it slip away, when it is ripped from our hands we become vulnerable to the appetite of whatever monster screams the loudest.
