The young female was still in the vehicle when she saw her father run up to the driver with an AR-15 in hand and force him to the ground, according to an arrest report.

I thought pointing guns at people who you thought wanted to sleep with your daughter was something out of bad jokes and old movies. Apparently not.

Every gun owner is a responsible gun owner until they aren’t.

Let me revise it then- Every responsible gun owner is a responsible gun owner until they aren’t.

Regardless of the method of execution, imagine knowing the exact date and time of your death and knowing nothing you could do would stop it. That is torture, plain and simple. It should be in violation of the eighth amendment.

They don’t. They put a gas mask on the prisoner, which lets oxygen in, rather than putting them in an airtight chamber.

While I don’t think this is in any way undeserved, I wonder if awarding the Peabody posthumously to the over 100 journalists killed in Gaza would have sent a better message. As the article said, the Pulitzers gave them a special citation.

I don’t know that I agree. I feel they should have been more blunt about it. “Although Ms. Daniels did not call it rape, based on her interpretation of events, it would be considered rape if she had agreed to press charges.” Because it would be.

He probably thinks he’s Louis XIV these days and is using the royal ‘we.’

I would think so, but after her husband started talking about “woke ideology,” I decided not to ask any questions. I am guessing she wouldn’t have been at Mayo if it were that simple.

He would have some good lines… “Why you green fiber-filled inhuman…”

Worrying about what Muslims might do while Israel is committing a genocide sounds like somewhat misplaced priorities.

Regardless of the interpretation, that’s pretty tone-deaf of them (no pun intended) if they thought that was going to win them the competition.

Very true, although I don’t know that Netanyahu would be doing this if he were a person who believed in the Jewish god. I’m not saying Yaweh is peaceful, but the modern Jewish interpretation of Yaweh doesn’t usually include “he wants you to commit genocide” despite what the Bible might say about the Amalekites or Egyptian children.

Haha, you’re welcome.

I actually know nothing about Farley Mowat. I barely remember the film apart from the scene he falls through the ice since it terrified me so much. I just know I watched the film multiple times when we had it on VHS when I was a kid.

When “good” cops start actually working against the cops committing atrocities, I’ll worry about collective punishment for cops.

You’re behind the times. Now it’s “books, but AI,” “auctions, but AI,” “campus social centers, but AI” and so on.

I think you underestimate how much electricity is necessary for a Cybertruck.

There’s a reason why Elon’s solar charging promises never pan out.

For that and your house? On a daily basis?

Study reveals "widespread, bipartisan aversion" to neighbors owning AR-15 rifles (www.psypost.org)

A recent study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences reveals that across all political and social groups in the United States, there is a strong preference against living near AR-15 rifle owners and neighbors who store guns outside of locked safes. This surprising consensus suggests that when it comes...

I guess you need to see the context of the sort of discussions I’m talking about, but there’s not one I can provide this second because I’m thinking of Reddit arguments and my VPN is on right now and Reddit wants me to log in to see them and fuck them if they think I’m going to do that.

Everything is 100% of itself.

A pear is 100% of itself. Even if you eat part of it, it’s still 100% pear.

Yes, I am referring to 100% of the people to whom I am referring. I’m not sure why you think that is a great revelation. I’m talking to 100% of you right now.

So you’re saying that if I claim “the general public likes chocolate” and you personally don’t like chocolate, it isn’t true?

FlyingSquid,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

So you do think “general public” means “100% of the population.”

Good luck getting the rest of the world to agree with you on that. That’s certainly not what I meant.

FlyingSquid,

What part of “that’s certainly not what I meant” is unclear to you?

Or are you claiming that you know what I meant better than I do?
