Sorry to bother you but it is "missing the cue" not que or queue. Just fyi for the future.

ese o se ca ese

[–] Frozengyro@lemmy.world 7 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

But what if I cut in front of the line because I missed the queue?

[–] Maggoty@lemmy.world 2 points 1 hour ago

I've done that before. Massively embarrassing.

[–] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 5 points 10 hours ago

Exactly! Cue starts with c like call or clue, which are sort of what it means.

Queue is a bunch of letters standing in line for no reason (since Q alone would sound the same)

Que is pronounced like the beginning of queso

[–] CaptainBlagbird@lemmy.world 4 points 10 hours ago

I think you missed the Q.

[–] corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca 2 points 10 hours ago

Thank you for helping. I hope it works.

[–] Serinus@lemmy.world 2 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

What if you didn't realize there was a line and just went to the front?

[–] scholar@lemmy.world 3 points 10 hours ago

Then the person at the front of the queue must clear their throat until you realise your mistake and return to the back of the queue.

Missing the what?

Me when I have to disown my 6-year old 😔

I drink my horchata warm because, Fuck I.C.E.!

[–] 30p87@feddit.org 4 points 12 hours ago

Me when I have to throw 'Botttles of incendiary water; dig up cobblestones and throw it at those shit bastards' (sounds a lot smoother and better in german but whatever)

[–] Tramdan@sh.itjust.works 46 points 9 hours ago (3 children)

Am I the only person who doesn't encourage my 6 year old to lie?

[–] musubibreakfast@lemm.ee 65 points 8 hours ago

And that's exactly why your kid will never make lieutenant.

[–] Zwiebel@feddit.org 21 points 9 hours ago (3 children)

Thank you. I was so uncomfortable with this as a kid

[–] fossphi@lemm.ee 8 points 4 hours ago

Me, too. But now I kinda regret not going along with it. I don't know, it's a weird mixture of angst with the system and a bit of guilt towards my parents

[–] 5714@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 8 minutes ago

Why? I was always so excited when we got away with it...

The problem is society massively rewards lying within limits. Kind of like when you make a resume that explains your one week spring break drunken binge as a "Cultural Exchange Opportunity".

Assigned Cop At Birth.

“I’m sorry ma'am... it’s a cop”

Doctor that slapped the baby's butt at birth gets charged with assaulting a police officer

All Cats Are Beautiful

[–] stebo02@lemmy.dbzer0.com 24 points 9 hours ago (6 children)

why would cops get food for free?

[–] Evrala@lemmy.world 39 points 8 hours ago

Businesses that give away free drinks and whatnot to cops tend to have more cops around, and if a place is known to have more cops around they tend to get stolen from less.

Legal small bribes. It is why places like Speedway have a button for free police beverage. They want cops to stop by on their breaks so people regularly see cop cars in the parking lot.

[–] makyo@lemmy.world 18 points 9 hours ago

Protection racket, I presume

[–] reiterationstation@lemm.ee 16 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

So that they help you quickly when you need it. Not saying it’s right. Just saying that’s how it works.

[–] stebo02@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 3 hours ago (2 children)

Idk man, where I live, cops have to help you as quickly as possible when needed. Whether they get free meals or not, it's literally their job.

[–] ThatGuy46475@lemmy.world 8 points 3 hours ago

The problem is it’s hard to prove they could have been quicker

[–] PugJesus@lemmy.world 2 points 1 hour ago

Whether they get free meals or not, it’s literally their job.

You must live in a functioning country or something crazy like that.

[–] pogmommy@lemmy.ml 11 points 9 hours ago

Because business owners are bootlickers

[–] yunxiaoli@sh.itjust.works 5 points 9 hours ago

Cops exist exclusively and solely to protect capital; and many businesses owners have deluded themselves into believing they're capitalists. However as they are not and have no real understanding of how that relationship works they try to appease cops instead of demanding them.

In this the Petit Bourgeoisie harms itself and shows it's whole ass; forever setting itself as subservient to police, who are subservient exclusively to the real Bourgeoisie.

[–] PapaStevesy@lemmy.world 2 points 36 minutes ago

It's called a protection racket, it's popular in organized crime.

[–] LovableSidekick@lemmy.world 17 points 8 hours ago

¿Missing the what?

[–] kibiz0r@midwest.social 10 points 12 hours ago

That child is illegitimate.

sounds like a totally not made-up situation

[–] crony@lemmy.cronyakatsuki.xyz 3 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Come to balkan ma frend, where people will force their 12 y/o to say they are 6 for free bus ticket 🙂

Family legend says that my mother paid child fare until she was 25
