What a cutie :)

I certainly agree this does not address the root issue, and it does normalize this technology for adresssing social issues and can then be applied to places where its more harmful like crime- And also I think taken on its own merits this is a good intervention to exist for suicide prevention specifically (though I think its valid to not take it purely on its own merits if one is concerned about the adoption of surveillance tech)

I do want structural solutions though. But that requires rebuilding society in the image of treating humans better, better work and environmental conditions, rethinking healthcare (at least here in the US, no idea how things are in Korea), and about a million other things

And I do think the normalization of surveillance infrastructure should be taken seriously. Especially with the present global rise of authoritarianism

Thank you for explaining. This is a good post

What does manumitted mean?

My understanding is that the restriction comes from the great depression, when the government was worried about people poaching deer and decimating the population by hunting more than was allowed

And then we just never got rid of the exception.

Similar to how short rifles were restricted to create additional charges for bootleggers transporting alcohol during the prohibition, since being in a vehicle really benefits from having a shorter gun so bootleggers would cut length off their barrels so they could more easily handle their guns in the vehicle

Ahh, okay thanks for filling me in

Thats super interesting context, thanks for expanding on what they said!

What does make big rocks into little rocks mean?

Is this actually shitpost? (I dont know anything about curling or what’s happening in the Olympics 😅 did Canada actually cheat or is it a joke?)

I’ve heard amazing things about Rumble if competitive PvP earth bending in vr appeals to you

Is it a known thing that they were dishonest about speaking to a lawyer with that situation?

I’ve been meaning to change instances and find a new home, if it’s known that they lied or mislead their users thats something I’d love to know more about

I mean, I’m not a big fan of the carsal justice system, I don’t think sending this 80 year old woman to die in prison will somehow bring back the dead, but not taking away her license is kinda unreal

A no contest rather than guilty pleas and moving assets feel like they may be things she was advised to do by her lawyer but do feel additionally gross.

The culmination of it all definitely does not feel like justice. Though people in the comments here calling for her to die in prison probably ought to do some self reflection on how much they’ve bought into the notion that harming those who have done wrong somehow makes society or victims better off. Our criminal justice system sucks ass, institutional retribution has never been “justice” either.

What a fucking depressing story and miscarriage of justice.

While it is good to have empathy and understanding for less technical folks, OP may be in a better position to know what is realistic for their family and level of support they can provide

While that’s true I don’t think Bernie is trying to say every district, he’s disagreeing with the broader notion from entrenched Democrats that these are outliers that can’t be replicated and that the Democratic party needs to stay moderate (neoliberal) to win. The article lists a couple more races where we could see this pattern of more progressive candidates winning continue

Other progressive victories victories could be on the horizon in Maine, where Democratic Senate candidate Graham Platner has had a double-digit lead over Gov. Janet Mills in polls ahead of the June primary and raised three times as much as Mills and Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) combined in small donations in the final quarter of 2025; and North Carolina, where Durham County Commissioner Nida Allam is challenging Rep. Valerie Foushee for a second time after losing a close race in 2022.

(Nida Allam is up for vote where I am I believe. While Foushee hasn’t been a bad representative I’m excited to do more research on Allam and think I may be voting for her :)

I am both horrorfied and delighted by this, thank you

While I feel theres a slight difference between a lit cigarette while operating a gas pump, and the possible spark from breaking the diaphragm in a low voltage speaker behind grates in the pump body- you know what fair enough. Usually when I see or participate in folks talking about electricity dangers online its folks who have no clue what theyre talking about.

A couple of months ago I was in an argument with folks on lemmy who thought if you put a nine volt battery against your nipple it’d electrocute you. At one point I went and grabbed a nine volt to take a picture of literally pressed against my skin just to prove my point 😅. A lot of folks seem to mythologize electricity and its dangers, sometimes it even seems to come from folks claiming to have electrical work backgrounds or engineering degrees

Regardless, hope you have a good day, take care :)

Thanks for posting this :)

I can’t get to the store very often for medical reasons so I’d been looking for ways to eat more fresh veg that dont go bad immediately. I’ll have to check out some of the recipes mentioned

I do like their idea of salads that dont just use delicate leafy stuff. Does feel like an odd subject to write a whole article about though, but no reason not to of you’re an article writer I suppose lol

I have limited ability to get to the store regularly so more salads with ingredients that dont go bad immediately would be really nice, I’ll have to check out some of the recipes they mention

This is cool as fuck, thanks for sharing! I neither code nor am learning mandarin, but I hope you get some more folks involved who can contribute too :)

It might require posting places other than the fediverse though, I’m not sure this is a wide enough net to find folks who can get involved

Anyone know if there are any good places online to share foss projects you’re hoping to build with more people?

they ask their daughters to pretend to pray so that the men in the family, especially the husband or the brothers of that child, won’t know that she is of fertile age now. Because as soon as they know that the girl has started menstruating, they’re going to pull her out of the school, if she goes there, and they’re going to marry her off to a man double or thrice her age. And that is something we have seen so often. It just breaks my heart. Mothers are usually very helpless in these situations. The link to child marriage contributes to the secrecy around periods and makes it an extremely isolating experience.

As a guy I hadn’t really made that connection to how menstruation would become so stigmatized. Thats gutwrenching…
