That game was amazing. Although I didn't realize that there was a Dreamcast version or that the Dreamcast had a keyboard.

Huh. That's odd. I've been having a conversation with someone in World News who is claiming that violence against Jews isn't happening right now...

It’s been increasing what with the guys who say “We speak for all jews” bombing a populace of mostly children.

That's exactly what this guy initially objected to me saying. And then started arguing things like what I said above and how I'm not a Jew when I'm an atheist due to my DNA being "Mediterranean." He hasn't responded yet to my pointing out that the Holocaust happened before DNA was discovered. I'm curious to see how they respond.

Worse, he conflated it with calling someone fat.

I've never seen that archive site, but it was loading way more data than that article should have taken up and even said so. Use archive.ph instead in future would be my advice. For this article: https://archive.ph/yYqG7

I mean, innocent people get put to death so maybe we shouldn't even kill the ones we're sure we did what with being unable to unkill people?

I mean, maybe the state shouldn't have the power of life and death over its citizens.

I mean, it would seem to me that we should strive to be better than the people we convict.

I mean, shouldn't the U.S. be like every other Western country and not do this shit?

How do you insure that it is only those "net good" times and not any other times?

And why is executing citizens a net good but we keep terrorists alive at Gitmo?

So the people who screamed about the scary, scary BLM protesters rioting due to what they (rightly) viewed as a miscarriage of justice now think rioting should happen because of what they (wrongly) view as a miscarriage of justice.

As usual, it's okay with they do it.

Andrew Tate loses appeal to relax judicial restrictions as he awaits human trafficking, rape trial ( apnews.com )

Andrew Tate, the divisive social media influencer awaiting trial in Romania on charges of human trafficking and rape, lost an appeal Thursday to have the court relax geographical restrictions preventing him from traveling outside the eastern European country....

She's also doing the same thing Margaret Atwood already did after Roe was struck down except worse.

If you don't participate in commerce you can't buy gas or charge up your car, so I guess you don't need a license.

Before all this started, people did make claims that they wouldn't vote for him if he was convicted.

But then they also said they wouldn't vote for him even if Nikki Haley conceded.

So we'll see, I guess. But I'm not optimistic.

It really sucks that their viewership is so stupid that they think Biden has any influence whatsoever on a state-level trial.

Oddly enough, it looks like the Guardian is the only one making this expressly about white men. I'm guessing demographically speaking, white men are the majority when it comes to transport pollution by rich people because the majority of rich people are white men.

if all opinions are worth the same?

They aren't.

"Kill all the Muslims" is not worth the same as "we should all try to get along."

That sounds less "consigned to history" and more "we're still into the idea."

Why does Planned Parenthood contract with Raytheon? ( prismreports.org )

To the dismay of many sexual and reproductive health, rights, and justice workers in the U.S., many movement organizations had to be pushed to call for a ceasefire in Gaza or otherwise voice support for Palestinians who are being murdered en masse by the Israeli military. This includes Israel’s recent assault on Rafah, a...

TIL: Some cephalopods can fly… ( midwest.social )

Some cephalopods are able to fly through the air for distances of up to 50 metres (160 ft). While cephalopods are not particularly aerodynamic, they achieve these impressive ranges by jet-propulsion; water continues to be expelled from the funnel while the organism is in the air. The animals spread their fins and tentacles to...

Last I checked, there weren't drunk driving cameras, so I'm not sure how that's relevant. If anything, that makes my point for me. Human cops enforce anti-drunk driving laws.

FlyingSquid OP ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

The 'automated way' can be miscalibrated or just malfunctioning. What are you going to do when you go legally through a green light but the camera says you didn't?

How do you convince a judge that the photo they are looking at is a lie?

FlyingSquid OP ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

And yet, many don't.

FlyingSquid OP ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

Yes, that is the point. They had to get cleared. It took time and effort despite the fact that they were totally innocent. They could have lost out on pay because they had to take unpaid time off to deal with this.

Why should that have to be the case ever?

FlyingSquid OP ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

When a cop makes a mistake, they don't have a photo that "proves" it isn't a mistake. So you at least have a better chance with the right judge.

FlyingSquid OP ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

Sure. That's not what I'm saying. I'm saying, with the right judge, you have a better chance fighting a red light ticket with a cop than you do with a photo which "proves" you did it. Even if it's a small chance, it's still a better chance.
