Internet floods with conspiracies about Event.

Rinse and repeat. "Event" can be virtually anything of public note.

EnderMB , in Oklahoma schools head Ryan Walters: Teachers who won't teach Bible could lose license

Surely this could backfire in so many hilarious ways?

  • Teach the parts that conservatives don't do, and teach your class to call out injustice everywhere.
  • Teach the bible in Aramaic or Ancient Hebrew, and give the kids 30 mins of study time to learn whatever they want from it.
  • Use it as an exercise to teach that many parts were written thousands of years ago, and doesn't have current medical or societal advancements, so that many parts might be up to interpretation.
  • Compare it to Islam, Judaism, and other sects of Christianity - and teach that they're basically the same thing and that everyone should get along.
  • Reference that the pope said years ago that even nonbelievers that led a good life would be offered a seat in heaven, so be nice and it'll all be fine.

Also you should explain to your child students what is a prostitute

RagingRobot ,

Tell them about all the fun stuff going on in sodom and gomorrah

HappycamperNZ ,

You forgot "this is what hard-core Christians believe, this is where it contradicts itself, here are the 10 commandments including love thy neighbor and don't worship false idols".

You'll get de-licensed for teaching that, too

orcrist ,

Oh I don't know that I would make the claim that major world religions are all about people getting along. I'd say we can find some parts that are much less friendly than that.

Why don't we go back to Genesis. Lot is an exciting character, and tells us a lot about God's character. And then it gets creepy too.

SeaJ , in Police in New York shoot and kill 13-year-old holding a pellet gun, authorities say

One of them fled and pointed what appeared to be a handgun at the officers, according to a statement by the Utica Police Department.

If the footage confirms this, it makes sense that the officer shot him. Don't point guns or gun replicas at people.

But they were fleeing and pointed a gun at him? Either the reporting is shitty or it did not happen like the police say it happened.

Frozengyro ,

You can run and point a gun backwards/shoot in their general direction.

And unless you're some sort of trick shot marksman, you won't be any danger to the cops.

Frozengyro ,

Dumb luck happens, plus could hit an innocent bystander. It's honestly a shit situation all around.

Thetimefarm ,

I mean shooting randomly is always dangerous to someone. People get hit by stray bullets literally every day in america.

This isn’t entirely accurate.

First, just because they’re only slightly less accurate than most cops… doesn’t mean they’re not able to get lucky.

Secondly, I’m reminded of an incident I saw security recordings of, from a guy running across a light rail platform (warehouse district in Minneapolis,) dude was spraying behind him. While running.

Missed all of the people he was aiming at, killed 4 people all the same.

ACAB, so I’m not saying the cops didn’t fuck up. (Or even plant the damn pellet gun…) but yeah. There’s a reason that’s the narrative.

4 months is a pitiful sentence for this rotting bag of feces.

enleeten ,

He's got more trials coming up...

Chocrates ,

I thought he got pardoned?

enleeten ,

Really doubt Biden is pardoning that fuck stick

Chocrates ,

It was Trump, but I guess for previous crimes.

MNByChoice ,

Trump pardoned him for different acts. After the pardon he did more shit.

KillingTimeItself ,

it's only contempt, from my understanding of law it's not uncommon for contempt of court, and inter court violations to be anywhere from like 2 weeks of jail time, to a few months.

gedaliyah OP Mod , in Iranian reformist Pezeshkian and hard-liner Jalili head to runoff presidential election
@gedaliyah@lemmy.world avatar

Iranian elections are generally considered fair, although the candidates must be approved by the Supreme Leader, and wield very limited power, so it almost doesn't matter if the elections are rigged or not.

If the Reformist candidate wins, it would be the first time that the president and Ayatollah are not in lock step. It could be interesting.

Karyoplasma ,

Didn't Khamenei already address this and say that regardless of who wins there won't be any substantial changes to the status quo?

gedaliyah OP Mod ,
@gedaliyah@lemmy.world avatar

Of course. Iran is more like a monarchy. The king is still the king, but if the people are unhappy enough, the king might be compelled to give up influence to parliament.

Not a perfect analogy by any means, but I think it helps.

TrainsAreCool , in Facial Recognition Led to Wrongful Arrests. So Detroit Is Making Changes.

AI, at it again.

NotAnotherLemmyUser ,

AI can be very useful, the problem here is humans trusting it to be accurate all the time.

In this case it should be used to narrow down results, but even then the police need to do their job.
They need to do an actual investigation to gather evidence that they have the right person before even attempting to make am arrest.

Even removing AI from the picture entirely doesn't solve this problem. Just look at wrongful arrests that have been made simply because a wanted criminal has the exact same name as someone else.

Delonix , in Nature interrupted: Impact of the US-Mexico border wall on wildlife

Terrible, I hope all those involved with it suffer like the wildlife..
