Multiple reports from observers of this execution method: it’s horrible, they thrash around on the gurney and seem to suffer greatly

This guy: nuh uh.

I’m definitely making fun of the original post. “Your phone is bad and you should feel bad based on this cherry picked set of metrics” is one of the dumbest debates of all time. Right up there with “my OS is better than your OS”.

Let people like what they like.

But if we don’t make the kind of phone we use our entire identity how will we know who we’re totally better than?

The White House said in a statement it was “deeply disturbed” by the killing and seeking an Israeli investigation.

Waiting on “We investigated ourselves and found no wrongdoing”.

Being actively under indictment is a lot different than just being investigated. Indictment requires that sufficient evidence has been gathered, reviewed, and (for a federal case) at least 12 of 23 jurors in a grand jury believe there is at least a 50% chance that you have actually committed a crime (12/16 jurors at the state level).

By the time you have been indicted you have received a lot of due process resulting in a concrete belief that if you go to court you will be convicted of having committed a crime.

I appreciate your intent with this, but one of our fundamental rights is due process. Penalizing an individual for simply being investigated would violate that right.

I’m not sure I’m willing to participate in experimenting with a US government where due process is wishy washy. I remember how horny we got for suspending habeas corpus via the patriot act.

I assume if the client is undetectable that ads will escalate to phoning home for viewing confirmation, and then to something even more dumb once we beat that.

It’s an arms race, it’s probably silly to think we can just outright win for once and all.

That monster. Goosebumps was a foundational part of my lifelong love of reading.

Oh that’s cool. I’m in the states and the California Highway Patrol course I took was optional, but did count as the driving portion of my license test.

They put me on a tiny little bike for the course though that was way too small for me haha. Probably wise from their perspective but it was still a long two days of riding.

Awesome. Training courses are such a good idea, they should just be mandatory for all new riders. Definitely kept me from making dumb mistakes as a new rider lol.

I started on a zx6r, you’ll be fine on this too.

Trick that kept me safe was a buddy telling me to start with my wrist flat. People get in trouble because they reach way over the throttle with their wrist bent upwards meaning to open it to a comfortable flat position, and when the bike starts it rocks them backwards, completely opening the throttle accidentally.

Instead start with a flat wrist and instead of twisting your wrist to open the throttle just lean forwards. The change in arm position will naturally open the throttle and your lower body position will help keep you from sliding back anyways.

 

Do we have an established practice for requesting defederation?

I would very much like to request that we defederate from burggit.moe (because I would prefer to keep my lemmy experience free of loli porn) and I went looking for the best way to do this, but the best I could come up with was posting to meta and that seems like the wrong place.

I feel like I missed something obvious ¯_(ツ)_/¯
