The official term is involuntary manslaughter, but it would only be applicable to the Witch of the West, however it would require recklessness or negligence, neither of which were present. Then again, when Dorothy’s house falls on the Witch of the East, although it’s basically a death from natural disaster, she proceeds to steal a family heirloom, the ruby slippers, from the deceased witch and refuses to give them back to her kin, the Witch of the West, so there’s some degree of instigation. That does not excuse how Dorothy is kidnapped and detained, plus there’s the criminal intent the witch has to kill Dorothy. It’s a shit show all around, but that’s Kansas for you.

I don’t think it is, at least not the current iteration, but he would definitely have helped evolve its successor.

Now there’s a guy that deserves it, it’s sad that he was surrounded by such a spezwad.

What we really need is healthier oral microbiota, the kind that are equipped with miniature flosses to floss your teeth with.

I must go to shit dentists, because I swear I’ve had this happen.

Usually never.

Indeed, it’s what happens when the unstoppable force of societal values meets the immovable object of someone’s personal ego.

Toxocutiosis.

These have some implied requirements like being ivy league material and a certified patriot. They are also both essentially superprodigies who can only exist in fiction.

You can take a self-defense class, though. Get someone to train you with weapons and parkour, and you are all set to be an average person with self-defense, gun training, and some novice-level parkour abilities.

There’s already examples of social networks that have upvotes and downvotes public. Besides kbin.social, which isn’t the most popular, there are some that have existed for a long time outside of the English speaking world, like meneane.net

Admins and instance owners will be seeing that information, and given how badly some of them behave without any remorse, I don’t see any reason why that privilege shouldn’t just be made accessible for all. Otherwise you have no way to judge downvotes, which just essentially makes them useless except for current thread sorting.

See who makes it, and you can generally get a sense if they are making a downvote honestly, just circlejerking it, or a high likelihood of an alt because a dead zombie account that hasn’t made a comment in forever suddenly decides to downvote in a deeply nested debate. In my experience, there is a high correlation of people who want anonymous downvotes and people who don’t want to be called out for their shit, even when they are admins who are constantly peeking to see who’s downvoting them.

It’s clearly not the doomsday that the naysayers say allowing it will be.

In the US there was a period of time where it was illegal to export encryption above a certain level, so in a way it has already happened. Dumb has never stopped governments before.

I mean, it is. They keep a list of all your conversations and they are extremely vague about giving a direct reply. Hopefully this does something because, like US congress has itself admitted, they cannot afford to let the same thing happen with advanced AIs that they’ve let happen with social networks. Transparency needs to be a thing, and not fake “oh yeah I’m all about transparency” then goes out of their way to hide shit under the carpet or gaslight with bullshit when they can’t.

Talk about blinding yourself with greed.

The world watching has never stopped him before.

That it will have to compete on its own merits and that the whole lemmy tag adds nothing to it. Not to be too sarcastic but just to drive the point home, what are your thoughts on a user-driven officially unofficial radio station for IMAP/POP3.

It’s not just Putin, there’s clear alliances forming: Russia, Iran, North Korea, Syria, China. Hamas was financed and trained by Iran, who have themselves been significantly supported by Russia. It seems that all MAD is doing is limiting the growing conflict to a Proxy World War.

A lot of things in China are going downhill: trade, banks, real state. China isn’t just going for Taiwan, it’s projecting imperialism all around, even with India, another BRICS member. Taiwan is just the biggest mark. I wouldn’t cross off options for what imperialist despots will or will not do when they become increasingly desperate.

That has had an Acceptable Ads Committee for over a decade now. I’m surprised that YouTube Ads wouldn’t have been permitted on it.

Not really making fun of it, just genuinely curious. Are people still installing Adblock Plus? It has had an Acceptable Ads Committee for over a decade now. What were people using if not that?

It really isn’t, it’s just criticizing the lack of choice. Unfortunately, people like you are ignorant enough to believe there aren’t better forms of democracy whereas in Europe there are no shortage of countries where you can vote an actual choice of parties and not throw your vote away because of simple majority rules.

Both parties aren’t the same (the use of the word cult should have been a big hint), but you’d have to be a special kind of fool to be praising the lack of choice you have. The world is bigger than your ignorance.

Ageist rhetoric, that’s just your gaslighting, I never brought it up, nor do I se anyone other than you gaslight with it. You are basically regurgitating political propaganda that isn’t even relevant to the comment…

You are free to pat yourself for your lack of choice. If single issue, lazy, dogmatic, thinking is how you got into this sorry state to begin with, then why are you perpetuating it?
