Victim reports his father missing. Police instead interrogated him for 17 hours, said they killed his dog, and withheld his meds from the victim. Victim tried to commit suicide in the room. (lemmy.world)

At one point during the interrogation, the investigators even threatened to have his pet Labrador Retriever, Margosha, euthanized as a stray, and brought the dog into the room so he could say goodbye. “OK? Your dog’s now gone, forget about it,” said an investigator....

Empricorn,

They are not allowed to lie in court, under oath… but they will anyway. To protect their illegal searches, their planted evidence, their bullying and excessive force, or just to save another cop they don’t even like! It’s called “the Blue Wall” and they will kill you or send you to prison to defend their right to be above the law…

Empricorn,

Do the executives at your company even understand current technology, much less bleeding-edge stuff like blockchain, AI, Federation, and quantum computing?? Ours sure don’t. Same with our politicians. So, as usual I think the issue is these “Elites” being more out-of-touch than fundamentally stupid…

We also have to overcome gerrymandering, which SCOTUS just said is legal (as long as the GOP pretends to disenfranchise people for political reasons rather than racial ones). At the same time, we need to overwhelm voter suppression with enough genuine votes that it isn’t effective. Same with the Electoral College, the illegitimate Supreme Court, and the Senate, which gives outsized influence to big, empty Red States and fight against the unlimited flow of dark money in politics…

It can all still be done, but we have to all vote, donate, and volunteer, as well be unified as you said. My big unity wish is messaging. No one can compete with Fox News because Right Wing Media is very good at staying on-message and we’re a “big tent” party, but still; we have to be better at it…

Empricorn,

Not with that attitude.

Empricorn,

They are in Vermont. Be the change you want to see!

Empricorn,

One day, I’ll be smiling for no apparent reason. Someone will ask me why and I’ll remind them that Donald J. Trump is dead. Then there will be two people smiling…

Empricorn,

They also fucking murdered the whistleblower who was so concerned about aircraft safety he did the right thing and reported it… Can we get an investigation into that, please!?

U.S. Secretly Shipped New Long-Range Missiles to Ukraine (www.nytimes.com)

The United States last week secretly shipped a new long-range missile system to Ukraine, and Ukrainian forces immediately used the weapons to attack a Russian military airfield in Crimea last Wednesday and Russian troops in the country’s southeast overnight on Tuesday, according to a senior U.S. official....

I can’t believe no one’s told you this yet… but you don’t have to watch it!

Can’t you just let other people enjoy things you don’t like?

Empricorn,

Make no mistake. Backward Arizona lawmakers are afraid of you. Afraid that they will be kicked out of office. And they don’t have any other skills.

So don’t you dare tell me voting doesn’t work. It still does. For now…

Empricorn,

Absolutely amazing. One of the best wildlife photos ever taken…

Mark Zuckerberg: “Yeah so if you ever need info about anyone at Harvard just @ me. I have over 4,000 emails, pictures, addresses, SNS.”

“What? How’d you manage that one?” a friend asked.

“People just submitted it,” “I don’t know why. They ‘trust’ me. Dumb fucks.”

Empricorn,

Before someone says it unironically: “Adopt the US system!”

All the benefits of endless wait times, but with the potential to bankrupt any middle-class family where someone gets sick! (I realize 2 things can be bad at the same time)

Empricorn,

This is tough. If it was just a sicko who generated the images for himself locally… that is the definition of a victimless crime, no? And it might actually dissuade him from seeking out real CSAM…

BUT, iirc he was actually distributing the material, and even contacted minors, so… yeah he definitely needed to be arrested.

But, I’m still torn on the first scenario…

Using Lemmy make me hate Windows (or any proprietary softwares) and finally make me fully switched to Linux

Just like migrating from Reddit to Lemmy it’s the same as migrating from Windows to Linux, there’s shortcomings and learning curve and the more I use Lemmy the more I hate about Windows, because unlike reddit Lemmy is open source and open source softwares communities is more popular than proprietary communities and people...

Empricorn,

Personally, I can’t stand trying to troubleshoot obfuscated error messages in current mass-market software. I don’t even think it appeals to the lowest common-denominator. “Oopsie-doodle! Your puter has an owie. 😢 Running a Health Check to see if we need to download more FUN! Sending results to Daddy Microsoft! …”

In 2018, Republicans accidentally legalized cannabis. Now 22 AGs want them to undo it (thehill.com)

A coalition of 22 state attorneys general is calling on Congress to address “the glaring vagueness” that has led to legal cannabis products being sold over the counter across the country — including sometimes from vending machines or online....

Empricorn,

Except obscenely rich people and giant corporations!

I prefer to think of the moral right side of any issue: Republicans are almost always against it.

Empricorn,

What’s your point? It’s preventable. I got a MMR shot as a child and now I never have to worry about this horrible disease. In the context of what you replied to, your comment makes no sense.

Linus Tech Tips (LTT) release investigation results on former accusations (x.com)

There were a series of accusations about our company last August from a former employee. Immediately following these accusations, LMG hired Roper Greyell - a large Vancouver-based law firm specializing in labor and employment law, to conduct a third-party investigation. Their website describes them as “one of the largest...

Empricorn,

I get it’s fun to dunk on them with a meme comment, but that’s literally the exact opposite of what they did.
