The passive (or exonerative) voice in that article is infuriating. Police tackle the suspect, but the bystander was just “shot in the head”. By whom? Hard to say when you’re licking boots.

Yes! The whole “lawyers are evil money grabbers” is a corporate psy-op. They want you to think it’s unreasonable for a person to sue a corporation when the corporation’s actions are harmful. They also want you to think defense attorneys are people who just look for technicalities to free guilty people.

They created armies of lawyers for themselves, while making americans distrustful of the ones fighting for normal people. We used to think of lawyers like Atticus Finch or Perry Mason. But now we just think of Saul Goodman and Lionel Hutz.

But you still post in lemmy.ml/privacy?

Yeah, I’m trying to convince everyone to start using signal before the slide towards fascism turns into a drop

Do you think they’re lying to authorities when they get a search warrant? https://signal.org/bigbrother/santa-clara-county/ That would be quite a big deal, and someone will be going to jail if you’re right.

All they have is your phone number, the date the account was created, and the last time it connected to the service. Yes, that represents a vulnerability, but you;re just casting aspersions that the whole thing is compromised.

Maybe there is some super secret NSA back door that Signal engineers aren’t even aware of. But it’s at least pretty clear that the local fascist authorities aren’t getting that info even with a warrant.

I wonder if engineers protested getting rid of the buttons. Who’s responsible for that terrible design trend?

I have a Toyota from around then, and yeah it’s the best. The great thing about that era is the milage is decent, and also I think it’s when abs and traction control became standard on all cars. So I have a manual transmission and aux cord, but it’s not ancient, it’s still very safe and efficient

That Germany, of all countries, could fail to prevent a surge in reactionary antidemocratic politics suggests **there’s something eternal and enduring about the reactionary spirit. **

LMAO. Reactionary antidemocratic politics in Germany?!🧐 I’m shocked

From the game, UK or Florida?

Well There’s your problem just did an episode on that https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=K4yCXIZ32lk

They take getting caught seriously, not the stuff they get caught at.

Wut. I’m not sure if this is a distinction without a difference, or a subtle distinction that I need a better grasp on continental philosophy to comprehend.

It’s like saying a state doesn’t take murder seriously - they take getting caught seriously. It’s technically true if you parse it a certain way, but ultimately meaningless

this kind of thing is not bad because it endangered people’s lives, it’s bad because it makes them look bad and might impact their exports

Something can be bad for multiple reasons. Also, there’s multiple actors here. The operators of the state-owned enterprise have different incentives than the regulators

It’s Definitely not just a US thing, although the scale of incarceration in the US is immense. it’s just a handful of European countries that actually treat prisoners ok.

She killed her abusive parents when she was 18. I wouldn’t condone that, but I also wouldn’t call her a monster. People in extreme circumstances do extreme things

The main thing you’re missing is that the words of the court are meaningless. They’ll always be able to use the next ruling to bend the outcome to the conservatives’ whims.

This is a government of men, not laws. Always has been.

Lol

LMAO even

We should make a deal with the pope: reverse the centuries of cis heteronormative church doctrine, and in exchange you get to say frociaggine all you want. I think this is a fair trade.

The APA “welcomes” the warning, so I’m eating my words. https://www.apa.org/news/press/releases/2024/06/social-media-youth

If the major psychological/pediatric organizations come out in support of this, I’ll eat my words. [Edit] words: Eaten
