article has the original request in relation to watching a movie on a trip

guns are not a tool to de-escalate any situation. by definition, pulling a gun escalates.

the only reason a gun should ever be pulled is when every deescalation tactic has failed and there is a credible threat to human life.

you do not pull a gun to scare someone into cooperation, you pull a gun to immediately incapacitate a threat.

responsible concealed carriers know this. cops, on the other hand...

she's back! hope you're doing well violet!

as a technician myself, I hate this. I truly don't understand why any tech would ever do any snooping. I fix dozens of devices a day, I need the password so I can test the new part and make sure everything is working as it should be after the repair. I'm far to busy and apathetic to give a shit what people have on their devices.

side note, for those of y'all with Samsung phones, there's a maintenance mode that will allow the tech to test everything after the repair but not access any data on your device.

is judging people based on what others have done not the whole point of Catholicism?

no actually. don't let Epstein distract you from the fact that this is quite literally a fascist takeover of our government. yes, trump is a pedophile, but weve known this for years, there is no new information from the Epstein files regarding trump. the time to be angry about him being a pedophile was years ago, the time to be angry at a con man organizing a fascist takeover of the seat of our federal government is now.

she was giving them advice on how to find her veins better. she and her lawyers told the courts it wouldn't work due to her veins. witnesses reported at least 7 needles they tried before finally "finding" a vein. she requested firing squad and hanging to avoid exactly this but was denied both.

absolutely barbaric treatment, regardless of her crime. not to mention that she's been in solitary for 30 years now.

can you actually shut the fuck up right now. women and minorities have there lives on the line and all y'all can talk about is this. if kamala wins we can protest her stance. if trump wins and we protest his stance he's already said he'll deploy the national guard. y'all are so smug about ruining your chances of helping these people

there's a .cursor directory in there with a rule specifically telling it to not mark generated code as generated. I can't see how that could ever cause any issues /s

are you perhaps a wasp

I'm a programmer. I write hundreds of lines of code a day (of varying levels of quality ofc). I also fix technology (phones, laptops, desktops. tablets, etc). I'm probably one of the most "tech-savvy" people I know. I very rarely type faster than 70 wpm. it's just not necessary for what most of us are doing.

I completely agree. I work in IT, a lot of times I can see that people have taken the exact actions I would, just with no success, until I do it. I always say that it's like the boss walking in a room and suddenly everyone stops misbehaving.

there's something in computer networking called Cisco discovery protocol and I used to teach new interns about it by making them find every Cisco access point we had in the building.

yep it's pretty horrible. any time gender issues are brought up there's dozens of comments saying "what about the men" and completely missing the point

yes, there was verified csam in multiple portions of the documents resulting in the data hoarders community removing magnet links to torrents of those files. obviously good move by the mods of that community but ridiculous that it's necessary due to the dojs incompetence.

I got banned from hinge/tinder for the crime of... being trans.

turns out if enough terfs report your profile as "misrepresenting your identity" you'll just get banned, no questions asked.

it's massive on Lemmy. any time you bring up an issue women have consistently faced in a patriarchal society, there's people crawling out of the woodworks with the "not all men" bs.

it's interesting, in my experience there's enough knowledge of feminism on Lemmy for men to acknowledge that these things are issues, but most of those men don't seem ready to accept that they can help implement actual change by calling out their friends and family. instead, it devolves to rhetoric that serves only to deepen the societal divide they claim to be against. definitely disappointing from a progressive and leftist platform.

2 days ago the "experts" were telling us how the shooters planning and brains were why he got out of the city so easily. now we're being told that he just happened to have the gun, silencer, fake id, and manifesto all on his person? not a chance, feel bad for this guy who's obviously a scapegoat and just the first similar looking dude they found

it's almost like being conservative comes with almost inherent traits that make someone undesirable as a partner. lack of open mindedness, critical thinking, any form of emotional maturity...

there's a reason many conservatives in dating apps hide their beliefs. they know its a red flag for many more things than their "politics".

my choice would prob be a 15k. at that point I'll just do a half marathon, thanks.
