I mean… I kind of get it. The personal item happened to be a fucking gun. One with moving parts that will fire bullets if the wrong part moves. Your phone will not fire bullets. Seems kind of prudent to stop the machine with spinning magnets and wildly fluctuating magnetic fields from operating near a rifle that may cause it to fire.

I guaran-fucking-tee you that if they hadn’t shut it off, and the machine caused the firing pin to trip resulting in a bullet being fired and hitting someone, people would be saying “what stupid cops let the gun just sit there when they could have hit the emergency stop switch!”

However, the main issue is the rifle never should have fucking been there in the first place!

I’ve only found them in farmers markets in the Midwest. They are DELICIOUS! The article is right, they taste kind like a combination of mango and banana. They have some large seeds you have to eat around, and the skin isn’t super tasty, but the inside is great!

Pro-tip, the ones that look old and brown are the ones that are ripe and ready to eat, the ones that look yellow-green need another day or two to fully ripen.

Where are you from? I’ve lived all over the US. Texas, East Coast, Northwest, Midwest and in both small towns and big cities. I’ve never encountered a situation where treating a malfunctioning street light as a 4 way stop isn’t just the default reaction of drivers. It’s extremely common sense.

It’s not about winning the fight, it’s about ensuring they are never considered a viable target again.

So glad I got a 12900k. Apparently they beefed up the reliability of the 12th Gen since it was the first gen with the new framework, but crapped out on the subsequent gens. Looking like it’s going to be the best CPU for quite some time.

I thought Signal was the big one?

I mean, it was a pretty well targeted attack.

If you go to a museum and see an impressive skeleton of a dinosaur, you’re not actually looking at dinosaur bones. And no, I don’t mean because they’ve calcified and become “rock”. I mean the real bones are in a drawer somewhere, if they even exist. What you’re looking at is plaster, often with many of the pieces wholly created from scratch in order to produce a full skeleton.

Me not understand. Me single issue Lemmy voter. Why Kamama not shit on own constituency for paltry gesture that change nothing? Why Kamama?! Why?!

Now who’s creating fictional scenarios? How convenient that it’s ok to do when it supports your argument.

Misread the image

fictional scenario that has never happened

Remember that guy a few years back that killed a someone on a bus and ate their face? Seen by literally dozens of passengers who watched in horror as well as the bus cam. He was arrested while still on the bus.

It can happen and does. This is but one of many examples. There are times when it can be absolutely, 100%, without any shadow of a doubt, proved that some committed a heinous crime. To think oftherwise is sheer ignorance. You come off as a child.

Oh, threats of violence you say? We should definitely look into that, maybe go talk to a few inmates with some softball questions, dismiss their batshit crazy answers, and never follow up.

No no, Trump owes too much to Russia and the Saudi’s. So he’s not actually a billionaire but a desperate rat who has his debtors breathing down his neck. Therefore there is no conflict of interest!

Like most people who use YouTube Music, I was grandfathered in after Google Music shut down and have YouTube premium bundled with it.

So with that, it absolutely plays when not in focus and has no ads.

That said, it absolutely is just recommending the same old things that usually show up on my playlists.

Weed is not a psychedelic.

Oh pwetty pwease Mr. Thomas, will you step down from your high paying, low work hour, massively benefit ridden job you’ve had for decades while reaping millions in gifts and kickbacks entirely consequence free?

I know you have literally zero obligation to do so, but we have no way of forcing you out so we’re just gonna ask, we’ll even give a stern finger wag!

Put a per gram tax on every manufactured product and watch how companies magically find alternative materials/methods to make goods.

No way in hell it’s gonna be blue if a literal genocide supporter is the candidate

Remind me again what the other candidate’s position is.

they invented paper, fireworks, and the compass

Lol, yea. And Timbuktu used to be the world capital of trade, now it’s just a shit hole in the middle of the desert.
