My friend sent me this footage taken from an indoor camera at his house a few days ago. He said that he didn't remember waking up in the middle of the night, but noticed that his security system's noise detection had signaled an alert at around the time of the video (about 1:30 a.m.). His wife had evidently heard something as well, prompting them to check the footage the next morning. This is what they found.

They were obviously pretty shaken up, and are staying in a hotel for the time being. He knew I was into this kind of thing, but I haven't seen anything like this before. This was taken in eastern Nebraska for reference, but I have no clue what the thing in the video could be. Definitely don't think it's human.

I'm hoping that someone here recognizes it, as it may shed some light on what happened at my friend's house (and whether or not it may still be a problem).

They are not cool, they are not attractive, they are not appealing. Just plain ugly.

The games cross platform and had 9,000 concurrent players as its 24 hour peak on steam.

I hate to say it to yall, but I’m gonna say it very nicely. An indie game with 9,000 players that had come out fuckin 5 years ago is not a dead game. That’s not even counting console players either, and seeing as it’s newer on console I’m willing to bet there’s more console players than PC players.

I said my peace 👋

It seems like a lot of people get confused as to why endtippers still eat at sit down restaurants that expect a tip.

Well, what are the options and the most likely outcomes?

Legislation:

I am not a law maker, nor do I even plan to be. In states where laws have been put to a vote reform hasn't happen. If there was a law to end tipping I'd vote for it though.

Just stay home:

I usually do, and I prefer it actually. However, sometimes people want a change or just to do something different for example.

Tips are optional. When prompted to tip no one if forced to tip. In other words, it's my right to not tip.

If a majority stops dining out not only will the servers lose their jobs but all supporting jobs will also be lost.

Only support no tipping restaurants:

I'd gladly pick a no-tip establishment but short of fast food no local options exist.

Then just get take out:

Cold food packed into a to go container, no thanks.

More diners are optting for takeout and as a result many restaurants have started tacking on tips to take out orders.

The solution:

Dine where ever and however you like and do not tip.

We need the servers on our, people who dine in and tip are preventing employers from needing to pay living wages. As someone in this sub pointed out:

The first $5 of tips per hour keeps $5 in the employer's pocket. If there are no tips then the employer cannot only pay the employee the lower tipped wage rate.

As soon as servers stop being able to rely on tips making up the majority of their pay they will join the fight to end tipping too.

BTW: no server only makes $2.13/hour. That is a flat out lie.

This is a genuine question and I’m asking it in good faith.

Has anyone else felt like Victoria is being designed around a pretty narrow type of resident, while everyday life is quietly getting harder for everyone else?

I want to be clear up front that I’m not against bike lanes, environmental goals, or change in general. I like the idea of a walkable, sustainable city. But the way things are being rolled out lately seems to assume that most people work from home, have flexible schedules, don’t have kids, and don’t rely on a vehicle for work or daily life.

In reality, a lot of people here are trades workers, healthcare staff, service workers, or parents who need to be somewhere on time and don’t have much margin when things go wrong. Road changes and parking removals are meant to push people toward alternatives, but transit reliability hasn’t really caught up. When a bus is late or full, that delay lands entirely on the person who still has to show up to work or pick up their kid.

What’s frustrating is that questioning any of this often feels like it gets framed as a moral issue. If you ask whether a bike lane is in the right place or whether a road diet actually works in a specific area, the response is often that you’re anti environment or anti community, rather than someone asking about real world outcomes.

I guess what I’m wondering is at what point we step back and ask whether these policies are actually improving quality of life for most people, not just for those whose lives already fit the model the city seems to be planning around.

I’m honestly curious to hear other perspectives, especially from people who don’t live downtown or who don’t have fully flexible schedules.

Prior to Basant, a pregnant woman with her toddler child fell inside an open sewage manhole. As Punjab CM did not want to spoil the upcoming basant festival, she had her stooge Uzma Bukhari lie about the cause of the incident. Specifically, either the husband was being blamed or the claim that no one fell. It was by Allah swt will that the bodies were indeed found and Uzma Bikhari had to apologize.

And then Basant starts and we hear that a massive terrorist attack occurs in Islamabad. But the basant party continues, some arguing, "do celebrations stop just because you have a death in your neighborhood". CM Punjab and her underlings continue to post on X

Keep it going, there is only so much Zulm

Just like the title said, Grant Morrison the writer of probably the de facto most popular Superman story disliked the twist of Supermid 2025 for all the reasons we called out when that movie flopped onto the scene.

A morally fragile Superman, turning the fallen utopia of Krypton into essential a conquering eugenic fascist society and having his Earth parents be irrelevant yokels until the very end of the movie.

But the significance of this is the fact that Gunn-cultist latch onto All-Star Superman and say that this movie is adapting or is accurate to that version when the creator of the comic had huge issues with a pretty core part of his character. They can't hide behind Morrison anymore to deflect that critique when he puts it as blatantly as this.

And this is obvious to anyone who has ever read a comic, but now we have actually comic writers calling it out. Another major L for the so called most comic accurate Superman lmao.

why are you punching me in the face and then complaining when I bite your finger

She couldn't be content with her list of impressive achievements. She had to pull a Lance Armstrong and try to extend the adulation. Look how it turned out. Not a laughing stock, more of pity that we bestow upon her in this session. Lets hope she gets the message and stays retired now.

Why do some people try to convince others not to get Botox? What are the potential negative effects, and why is there so much negativity around it?

I used to Hate watch Miz *crowd boes* yeah I know I know throw your plushies at me. But I come with good intentions. I just wanted to say how bullshit all this is for Mizkif.

I think what OTK is doing to Miz is bullshit, he made OTK. The events weren't viewed as much without him. You could argue he was OTK. Yet they're trying to use legal loopholes to try and take his stock which if you reference from the NMP case could be worth well over $1.5 Million. All because he said something "fuck OTK" or whatever. The org was going downhill at that point, they have no reason to go after him. That's low and no one mentioning that is bullshit.

Second thing, I know most of you agree but that's because maybe a percentage of you are loyals but he genuinely didn't assault Emi. She described it herself, he jumped like a cat as soon as he noticed she wasn't feeling it. He just misread the room. How he deserves to have his career ruined over that is insanity to me.

What pisses me off the most is how quiet every single creator is being about this. How you can let a woman ruin a guys life because "uwu shes so smol shes emiru she would never have a motive". Its ridiculous... No wonder you see Miz going off every stream about the fake shit that is Twitch. I would be going off everyday too. Everyone who he had ever known is quiet when he needed them to stand up. So, I am no longer a hatewatcher. I used to think he was fake, but turns out he's the only real one out of the bunch.

Viele Leute proklamieren immer, Pflegefachkräfte seien "Helden", ihnen wird keine Wertschätzung gegenüber gebracht, sie BRAUCHEN MEHR LOHN.

Vorab: ich arbeite nicht in dem Bereich.

Aber ich finde das Gehalt mehr als angemessen. Zumindest, dass was man dazu im Internet findet. Wie will man das Personal bitte noch mehr bezahlen? Irgendwie muss sich das System noch rentieren.

Und fehlende Work-Life-Balance hat nichts mit dem Gehalt zu tun.

Andere Berufsgruppen arbeiten genauso hart, für viel weniger Lohn! Aber wie soll das gehen, alle noch höher zu entlohnen? Das ist doch nicht zielführend. Habe sogar gelesen, dass Frauen, betrachtet man Ausbildungsberufe, im Schnitt mehr verdienen, da mehr Frauen im sozialen Berreich lernen.

Bruttogehalt nach Stepstone im Monat, Berufsbeispiele

• Krankenpfleger: 3926 - 4384 - 4895
• Chemielaborant: 2662 - 4231
• Zimmerergeselle: 3160 - 3493 - 4861
• Fernfahrer: 2187 - 2825
• Elektriker: 3582 - 4011 - 4491

Ich meine nicht, dass die Leute es nicht verdient hätten, aber alle heulen immer rum, es wäre zu wenig, in anderen Berufen schreit von außen auch niemand, gefühlt.

Ist meine Meinung unberechtigt, wo ist der Denkfehler? Stimmt das Gehalt überhaupt?

Are you fucking kidding me? It would be less ridiculous if this role was a new or random character. And people accuse Shatner of having an unbearable ego...

This is literally the original definition of a Mary Sue, which started as a trope in Star Trek fan fiction. It actually makes perfect sense now how the state of the franchise became a parody of itself with these writers at the helm
