They can show up without the tools they used to persecute us. Marching as police, in uniform, with all their accoutrements of violence necessarily places them in conflict.

Unless of course every cop marching would side with lgbt people over the state if and when the state changes its mind over whether we are allowed to exist.

He killed a mass murderer who murdered people who’s names he didn’t even know so rich people could get staggeringly rich.

Like ok, vigilante justice is a mixed bag. But if you’ve ever felt relief at any killing of a dangerous and violent person who victimises the vulnerable then the only reason you wouldn’t feel that now is because you think some words on a scroll change morality.

I suppose so, in the sense that I’m very much a physicalist. Given the lack of knowledge around consciousness and the similarities in biology between humans and other animals it is completely unreasonable to assume they don’t suffer in a way that could very well be morally equivalent to how we do.

In one of the earlier episodes the character just lets himself into the kitchen of a newly widowed woman and starts cooking for her while comforting her.

Pretty radical take on a law and order character for the time.

They also made a point of never casting a black person as a criminal, to avoid reenforcing prevalent stereotypes.

It’s far from flawless but it is very heartfelt at trying to portray a gentler image of a detective show.

Yeah but in columbo all the villains are smug rich white people who expect to get away with it because the law and society are usually on their side. Then columbo comes in and they get fucked.

It’s so far from reality it doesn’t really work as propaganda for cops. It’s basically a Robin Hood story. Shit most of the cops aside from columbo are fawning idiots.

It’ll just be till the furore is over. Still that will help some people.

buckwheat always looks so appetising. I should use it more. I have abandoned my Slav peasant forebearers.

If people were less busy atm (sister has a 2 year old and 2 one year olds) then probably also true. But it’s the offer that would be meaningful, moreso than some random item that’ll collect dust.

A hand with some yardwork I’m putting off but idk anyone who would value helping to dig out a stump less than 60 bucks haha.

log off

Just in time to have crushed protests, fired media figures, supplied weapons (I’m sorry, supplied parts of weapons platforms. Very different), and starvation to have kicked in.

One must hope that better late than never holds true.

Really? you think that it’s on the whole good and wouldn’t be better if replaced by a system of smaller, more topic focused networks where administrators have less access to user data and less ability to control conversation? Where infrastructure was less vulnerable to single point failure?

Do you remember what irc, xmpp, and bbs’s were like? Or were they before your time. One angry admin on lemmy.world could compromise ~170k users and they’re large enough that they could also distribute malicious files to like half a million computers. That is so obviously not good I feel completely baffled that you don’t see the problem.

Yeah, and federates socmed can easily assume responsibility for messages by not having mass sign up and moving to a trusted users, largely self hosted base. Lemmy is designed around replacing reddit with all the massive flaws of that.

I mean tell me you think lemmy.world is contributing to the world haha.

you could easily assume legal responsibility for what you published under a slightly different model where you only hosted your own content/the content of trusted users.

Cool!

Who knew you could apply “fix it in post” to plates and shit. They look a lot more elegant and balanced now.

Is it hard to center them on the wheel for trimming?

A good project might be those earthenware percolation watering systems for pot plants. Umm Ollas?

Skimmed it, seems interesting. I will add it to the read-critically pile.

Why do you want more social media companies? Ideally the industry is regulated out of existence, at least in its current form.

What social good is served should not be in the hands of companies mining data and advertising. Forums, self hosted federated systems, and chat rooms were/are all vastly superior in terms of social good:harm ratio.

Making it completely unprofitable and impossible to comply with under current mass signup sell ads models would be the point.

Why do people think Python is ducktyped? The syntax is quite explicit, just because x = 5. is shorthand for x = float(5) doesn’t mean it’s doing weird mutations. The closest would be maybe that something like:

x = 5
y = 2.
z = x * y

works (I think) but that’s not exactly a wacky behaviour. It’s not like it ever does the wrong behaviour of casting a float to an int which can erase meaningful data and cause unpredictable behaviour.

I mean you can (and often should!) give functions/methods type signatures ffs.

Yeah the hair isn’t exactly, but the T and HGH is.

I think he might have had maxillofacial surgery too, but it could just be the HGH.
