I’d argue against the word “earn” even. One cannot earn one billion dollars at all.

Nobody deserves $1 billion when it would take a teacher about 20,000 years to make the same amount. And it’s not earned if it’s not deserved.

But that’s just semantic ranting, you’re right.

With how trigger happy police are, the false positives would lead to more deaths than they prevent. And police would claim it’s justified because the machine told them so.

With #1, strong leader probably means the strong-handed over-enforcing leader who’s tough on crime to solve problems. In your example I agree, but I’d also argue the leader is guiding society in that case and it takes everyone to solve problems.

With #3, I think it’s referring to a subset of actual citizens who are treated like “real” citizens over other citizens. Whether it’s by race, class, religion, etc. Some minority of the population is made the boogeyman.

I think it’d only be 2 squares for the rectangle of the traffic light.

I’ve been doing a lot of captchas lately and they always seem to want less outer edge than I expect as a probably human. Like if only a small corner of a bus is in a tile, I just ignore it.

Of course it’s insane! To threaten these absolute gods who wield the power of nature (and also accept part time work explaining their plots on television.)

Is their plan to shoot someone who can summon hurricanes?

FTYF

Oh no I meant you were right. The article clarifies it, but the title is still odd the way it only says he hit a bicycle.

Yeah even the article says “bicyclist” while the title just says “bicycle”. Strange wording choice.

It blows my mind that anyone can be that wrong on all topics.

It’s like the difference between choosing random answers on a multiple choice test versus knowing the right answers and actively avoiding them to get the worst result. It feels like they’re trying to punish the US for something.

“gender” is a mental disorder

Wat.

The “everything reminds me of him/her” meme refers to some ex relationship.

Another meaning for “gaslighter” is someone who manipulates you and makes you feel like you’re crazy.

So they’re saying this lighter reminds them of their mentally abusive ex. Which is really more sad than funny the more I explain it.

Helldivers 2 works on Linux by the way. It was the first game I installed on Linux and I have almost 100 hrs on it. I haven’t tried the others you mentioned though.

I switched to Linux Mint a couple months ago and use Steam a lot. I’ve tried at least 10 games and all worked perfectly.

But I don’t do competitive multiplayer. Those are more likely to have issues with anti-cheats. Although I did try Hell Let Loose and Helldivers very successfully and those are both major online titles.

Check https://protondb.com if you’re worried about a specific game’s compatibility. I’ve had silver rated games work perfectly though.

Strangely, it’s not racism. This Attorney General is just notoriously an asshole.

Sandra Hemme, a white woman, was the longest wrongfully incarcerated person, and she recently went through the same issue in Missouri.

I’m sure you’re not wrong about the racism, but his bullshit seems to transcend race.

That’s true, but it became clear that others would experience similar emotions.

Also according to the Wikipedia, the author regretted writing them in a way that suggested they’re a linear progression of steps. I’ve only actually heard the steps used as a sitcom plot point (Monk, Scrubs).

Bailey, who was appointed attorney general … has a history of opposing overturning convictions, even when local prosecutors cite evidence of actual innocence.

In 2023, Bailey’s office argued against then-St. Louis Circuit Attorney Kim Gardner’s effort to overturn the murder conviction of Lamar Johnson, who was imprisoned 28 years. A St. Louis judge sided with Johnson, who was freed.

Bailey’s office also argued in court in May against freeing Christopher Dunn, who has spent 33 years in prison for a 1990 killing that St. Louis Circuit Attorney Gabe Gore determined that Dunn probably didn’t commit. A judge is still deciding that case.

And Bailey is opposing St. Louis County Prosecuting Attorney Wesley Bell’s effort to set aside the murder conviction of Marcellus Williams. A hearing is Aug. 21 — just a month before Williams is scheduled to be executed. Testing unavailable at the time of the 1998 stabbing death found another person’s DNA on the knife, but not Williams’.

I would love to hear his justification for all of these. Is it just the for-profit prison money, or the pride of not being wrong?

If the wildlife hates you gallon-of-pepper-spray style, just let them have that forest damn.

Is his last name really minecraft? Like Master Halo from Halo?

Definitely not a step up. I don’t think…

Train spotting used to be the niche hobby.

We’ve come a long way. I don’t know which way, but here we are.
