Cars are much wider now than they used to be. Garages that were built more than 50 years ago likely are thinner.

I’m not sure I see that either, those generations know how dangerous and damaging monopoly is. You’re not a monopoly fan and still have friends or family…

I’m surprised he kept his job so long, seeing how poorly he managed his own risks…

I think you’ve also described virtually all corporate employers.

A DeSantis attorney already has. “it would be the belief there are systemic injustices in American society and the need to address them”. That is what they’re against… Wow.

Thank you for sharing this song. It really hits hard right now

I thought OP was making a sarcastic comment, not literally blaming Obama. It used to be a meme to blame Obama for every little insignificant thing that wasn’t his fault. I might have read it wrong though. e.g. r/thanksobama

I’m absolutely positive they dropped a /s that was supposed to be at the end of that comment. If you read it with an exaggerated tone it sounds very sarcastic

I’d like to add to their comment. A lot of people are coming from very argumentative or abrasive communities, and sometimes their initial messaging will show that. If someone comes off way too hot headed try not to assume that they’re going to end up being a troll. They might just be riled up. I’ve had pretty good success in asking clarifying questions to get people to explain their view rather than just come in swinging.

I think you’ve just described an Alzheimer’s care center. Buwhahah. Honestly appropriate.

I agree with your analysis of her apology. I don’t think I’ve ever considered what makes an apology sound genuine. I’ve always thought of it as a gut instinct. Thank you!

Do you think that the publicity from this statement, would make a second, more genuine attempt at an apology sound like attention seeking? I wonder what kind actions she could actually take to mitigate some of the damage she’s caused. That’s a rhetorical question, I think.

Out of curiosity, what would accountability look like to you, in this case. Since she’s admitted guilt she’s likely to be held at least partially responsible for the crimes of others if it’s found her racist claim played a part in the crimes motivation. I assume she’s likely to lose her job as well, but we’ll have to wait and see i suppose.

The difference is this would be legal.

There’s no difference with a broken court and we can’t fix that with our current Congress.

I know you’re arguing against fixing stuff,

What the hell are you on about about? Like actually what. You need to call down with that nonsense. Why are you being so combative? I’m not even the person you were first talking to.

To my knowledge there has never been a federal judge removed in anyway other than impeachment. You would have to take an untested claim to court, prove it, then still to apply that process to remove judges case by case after. Unfortunately, it’s not us that gets to decide whether or not something is legal, it’s up to the “supreme” Court. I just can’t see us convincing 6 of those justices to accept consequences for their and their party’s actions. This would be a hell of a legal long shot.

They probably mean that we’re still not targeting the right people. Well, all of the right people. Millionaires are definitely still on that list.

Alternatively, and possibly almost as useful, companies will end up training their AI to detect AI content so that they don’t train on AI content. Which would in turn would give everyone a tool to filter out AI content. Personally, I really like the apps that poison images when they’re uploaded to the internet.

I’m fine with just the security updates until 2025. I’m sure I’ll eventually be able to move on to Linux by then.

If the typical cop can’t be expected to uphold their duty to protect and serve then they don’t need to be a cop. I do not care if American courts have suddenly decided that the oath and slogan used my police for decades is not binding.

They don’t need bigger or better weapons, they need brains. They had access to cameras in the building. They knew and could have tracked the gunman using those. Set up around two corners near them, team 1 supresses to distract then team two takes out the gunman. Deploying the national guard would take too long, and not all cities have a swat team.

If “typical” cops aren’t expected to risk their safety, then I expect them to take a “typical” paycut. Actually maybe that’s what should happen. Separate real police and law enforcement. Real police get firearms and responsibilities, law enforcement can worry about tickets and fines.

Just for clarification, try what?
