There isn’t much green in the Sahara Desert, but after an unusual influx of rain, the color can be seen from space creeping into parts of one of the driest places in the world.

Satellites recently captured plant life blooming in parts of the typically arid southern Sahara after storms moved there when they shouldn’t. It has also caused catastrophic flooding. And scientists say a world warming due to fossil fuel pollution is making both more likely.

Please put an NSFW tag on this. I was on the train and when I saw this I had to start furiously masturbating. Everyone else gave me strange looks and were saying things like “what the fuck” and “call the police”. I dropped my phone and everyone around me saw this image. Now there is a whole train of men masturbating together at this one image. This is all your fault, you could have prevented this if you had just tagged this post NSFW.

⁂ is great!

Clearly a network of cat assholes. I feel represented.

The real facts are the ones we met along the comments.

Maybe. To me it seems that you could become good at it if you worked at it.

I think most people who hire people prefer a personal recommendation because they are never trained on how to spot talent. When they can’t take that shortcut, they grasp at straws.

Rarely do you come across someone who actually knows how to pick the best candidate.

Most of this is because, for people who are hiring/interviewing, this is a distraction from the job they were hired to do. Figuring out who to hire isn’t usually one of their core competencies. So they base their decision on superficial bullshit (and then if needed justify their choice later). Often as the job seeker, you’ve learned more about candidate selection than they have, so you’d be better at picking someone than they would.

“We get it, we don’t like spiders either, but it’s never a good idea to use a blow torch or any other flammable device for pest control,” firefighters said in a social media post.

 

When I copy the URL for an instance to paste it, it includes the protocol. But Voyager says it’s not a valid instance. Take off the https:// and it works fine. Seems like Voyager should handle this better.

 

Should all posts include a thought, opinion, or summary from the OP? Is a post title usually enough?

If you appreciate posts that just a link to a video, news article, blog post, or website with no post text by the OP, why do you like them?
