Luigi Mangione retains high-powered New York attorney as he faces second-degree murder charge

Reply in thread

New York was one of the first states to bring back the death penalty so alongside it they made the definition of first degree murder very narrow. it includes killing a cop, murder for hire, and murder as an act of terrorism (they could probably technically argue for that one but I'd imagine theres clear precedent against it).

death penalty was abolished again in 2004

ELI5 How come streaming service are now running commercials? Is that not bad for business because most if not all people got it to avoid commercials?

look up a guide on how to set up stremio with torrentio and realdebrid. takes all of 15-30 minutes to set up and $15 for 6 months of being able to stream practically anything all in one place. ad free

(I know not an answer but I figured an actual solution to the problem was preferable to a 20th person explaining enshittification lol)

eta the important part

[Off-Topic] Should we purge doomers?

I think it needs to be defined with more specificity than "blatant doomerism", both to make it more clear when to enforce rather than "I know it when I see it" and also to prevent unfair bans to people talking about something that's a bummer in good faith.

I don't think an environment of toxic positivity is healthy and I fear such a broad definition could foster one, i.e. "oh I can't say that or I might get banned"

on the whole though I like the idea of an additional rule added of the sort. it doesn't seem like the person(s) in the first examples given was saying anything in good faith.

I also think the punishment should give a lot of grace, like first a warning and comment removal before any ban.

they're called lemmy communities, and there's plenty of interaction! honestly it reminds me of the old days on Reddit before it ballooned into the monster it is today, I legitimately prefer it in every way other than lacking the niche communities (looking at you [email protected] >.>)

you can find good political discussion in [email protected] or [email protected]

dunno if there's any good basketball communities tho, not my bag lol
