Bodycam: Pregnant woman accused of shoplifting shot by police
I mean, could he not just have taken the license plate number then sent agents to go knock on her door later? This is shoplifting, not armed robbery.

I would be so happy for a stand-alone gaming VR headset that isn’t run by Facebook.

He sure did, seeing as you and yours get your sorry asses carted off to prison while he gets to play dumb in court.

Is there a more politically conservative part of the fediverse?

I imagine traditional conservatives often get gate checked as leftist.

Republicans are trying to find a new term for ‘pro-life’ to stave off more electoral losses
Yeah, they never were really into pro life, were they? It’s more about neo-slavery:

Apple faces renewed pressure to protect child safety: ‘Child sexual abuse is stored on iCloud. Apple allows it.’
Heat Initiative is launching a multi-million dollar campaign in which it presses Apple on this issue.
I can’t help but wonder which generous benefactors are providing Heat these multi-millions of dollars in order to pressure apple into compromising privacy?

Trump Warns ‘Cognitively Impaired’ Biden May Cause ‘World War Two’
It’s like he learned the word in his own medical checkup and decided to throw it at Biden.

Baldur's Gate 3 and Disco Elysium on Metacritic for PC all time best: both #1 sitting with 97. Half Life (two) finally THIRD!
A half life game in 3rd??? I’m sure we all know what that confirms!

Modern Warfare 3 download is huge (200GB) due to “increased amount of content”
The games aren’t even worth a fraction of the space they demand, in my humble opinion. They’re more frustration and dedication than fun.

Is there a way to have less "racial blindness" when consuming asian media?
Each culture has a standard of beauty that celebrities try to emulate as closely as possible. As someone who’s lived in an Asian country for over a decade, it’s actually not that hard for me to identify whether someone is Korean, Chinese, or Japanese based on how they dress and present themselves. Where it gets difficult are celebrity groups within those nationalities. I get actors, actresses, and pop stars mixed up all the time because they all try to do their make-up the same way. This isn’t exclusive to Asia though. Westerners do the same thing and can be just as difficult to tell apart. It’s just we’re far more accustomed to it. That lady from Barbie? I have no idea who she is in or out of costume and could probably take a few incorrect shots. I don’t even know if she’s North American or from some country in Europe or Oceania.

Well if any left winger were to argue that merely believing capitalism with a touch of regulation works is all that makes you a Nazi, I’d be inclined to disagree with them even as a liberal progressive.
For me it’s believing that what you read, what you are taught, who you love/marry, how you practice art, what happens between you and a doctor, and where you were born that needs to be policed, controlled, and punished is what makes a Nazi. I honestly don’t think a genuine American conservative would care about any of that.

Greg Abbott faces more backlash as migrant child dies on bus: "Barbaric"
Reply in thread
Regardless, my point is, if you don’t try to understand why your political opponent is doing something, you’ll never be able to fix anything.
I agree, but there’s not much more “understanding” necessary when we’re dealing with child death. If nothing gets fixed after this, then what’s left to try to understand?

I imagine there’s also an aspect of instilling a culture of shame around something that constitutes as a basic human need. That way people will invariably have at least one basic “temptation” to crawl into church to plead forgiveness over before seeking deeper religious indoctrination.
