- Comment on The Los Angeles Police Department shot an Australian reporter with a rubber bullet while she was live on TV. Zero provocation. 5 hours ago:
Well, you have to have something heavy to hold enough inertia to have a deterring impact.
How else are you supposed to suppress the growing second class citizenry? Communicate?
- Comment on Winging it 1 day ago:
Counterpoint: look at those hands. Maybe they just weren’t great at some things.
I’d believe they mastered lighting and painting techniques over accurate physical representation more than “Jesus was a perfect middle aged nippleless man with fucked up hands and that’s represented perfectly here”
- Comment on Can deliberate noise harassment still be a crime if it's done every day from 7:30 AM till 10:30-11:30 PM? 6 days ago:
People don’t live in shared dwelling residences because they thought they’d really enjoy sharing walls…
- Comment on Can deliberate noise harassment still be a crime if it's done every day from 7:30 AM till 10:30-11:30 PM? 6 days ago:
Exactly this. A detailed log and evidence is important.
Also, talk to your other neighbours and see if they have, or would report it.
As it is, resident B has 2 noise complaints in 8 months from resident A. Without evidence of all the rest of it, this fits all sorts of scenarios. People make malicious complaints all the time and the authorities (rightfully) shouldn’t just take your word for it that there’s a long history.
Always have receipts

I think you should consult a dermatologist.
- Comment on A postal worker in Harlem attacked a trans woman. She fought back and fatally stabbed him in self-defense. This is how the NY Post framed it. 1 week ago:
That’s complete bullshit.
How many manslaughter cases have there been where 2 people get in a fist fight and one of them gets brained on the concrete?
To be clear, the claim that it’s legally indefensible may be true, but your life is absolutely in danger in an unarmed fight
- Comment on The longer I look the less I can tell them apart 1 week ago:
Fun fact! The kid in the MAGA hat is in a concentration camp.
(I have zero idea who either of these people are, but I think the odds I’m still correct are in my favour)

They’re only political because one side insists somehow they are.
Left-handed rights aren’t political.

Ah, to be 6 years old again.
- Comment on A 'US-Made iPhone' Is Pure Fantasy 1 month ago:
But then they have to fill those prisons with more and more people. How can America just increase the crime rate on a whim?
glances briefly to American history
Oh right, shit.

Ah, the American healthcare system!
- Comment on Is it possible to eat a toxic amount of culinary herbs/spices? 2 months ago:
I mean, as humans, toxicity isn’t a deterrent, it’s a selling feature!
- Comment on Meow 3 months ago:
Most usual pets don’t care for my existence at all.
That sucks, dude. I’m sorry you’ve never experienced that.
Also, a cat comes into your house and you have to feed it for a day: Image
- Comment on Meow 3 months ago:
But to ask “would people actually care for, shelter, and feed an animal they didn’t know? Like just bond with a creature for what? Emotional connection, companionship, and kinship to another living thing? I love animals, tho” is just a weird take. Like, you can love animals (or babies) and not want to be responsible for them in your home, but to be incredulous about why someone would want that is ridiculous.
“Would people really let some stray live with them?”
That’s literally the history of house cats. A million times, yes, people want to hang out with random cats.
You don’t need to want cats or babies to see why other people would want cats or babies.

“I love all animals, as long as those useless fucks stay outta my way!”
- Comment on So, is the USA screwed? 3 months ago:
But he’s draining the swamp! And the bogs, fens, wetlands, critical aquifers…

Pikachu ex? More like Pikacheex, am I right?
- Comment on Should I be Concerned? 3 months ago:
Can you provide evidence for this
Oh, no, we’re in lemmyshitpost, so I was just talking shit about the absolutely insane marketing choice to try to sell them as “triangles”.
But here we are talking about it, so fuck me, it’s working.
- Comment on Should I be Concerned? 3 months ago:
That’s a very generous assumption for a company whose “flavoured, uhhh, triangles” can’t pass the legal threshold of the word “chip” or “snack”, let alone “tortilla”.
- Comment on When will we have auto turrets mounted on plane engines to stop birdstrikes? 3 months ago:
Terminal velocity is really only relevant for objects that go below terminal velocity and then start falling. Bullets famously come out of guns very fast, so fast they go into people.
While air will slow the bullet down, tell that to the guy over over 2 miles away from Viacheslav Kovalskyi
Now, bird shot ain’t sniper rounds, but the point stands.
- Comment on California just debunked a big myth about renewable energy 4 months ago:
Exactly! Like how hydro-power is a dead end and we shouldn’t invest in it.
It’s like, “guys, you know there’s who cities that aren’t by a river, right?”

- Comment on Are 'micro-apartments' converted from offices the answer to the housing crisis? 7 months ago:
Seems excessive. Loads of people have spent many many years in as little as 18 Sq. Ft. Why can’t people just be happy with that?

Obviously they mean bury it in some sort of water-tight container like plastic.
