Depends on the details. If their crime hurt someone innocent (or had a high likelihood to) and it was intentional, yes.
If I’m likely to go down with them if they get caught, yes.
Otherwise, I ain’t no snitch and even if I were I don’t know anything about nothing.
I’m far from an expert on the topic, but I’ve worked around the military for a while, and have had some conversations with some more knowledgeable people about this.
Basically, it’s any kind of military work that isn’t affiliated with a government. On the more benign side of things that would be stuff like private armed security, the French Foreign Legion, or working as a contractor for companies that do physical pen-testing for military installations.
It could also mean working as a contractor for a group like Blackwater, where you are engaging in some likely shady military operations where the government wants some sort of deniability, which (IMO) crosses the line fully into the malign.
It’s only 6’ in Canada? It’s 50’ in the US.
Of course nobody actually enforces it, so it’s effectively nothing, but still…
It looks to be an empty case, based on the lack of PSU and motherboard.
Yes. You’re supposed to use it anytime you’re about to turn or change lanes, including if you’re sitting in a turn lane at a red light or backing out of a drive way or parking spot.
Not doing so makes you a road hazard.
Sure, you could look at it that way, but an equally valid way to look at it would be based on human life spans.
Average human life expectancy is 72 years. Which is, conveniently very close to the age of the oldest video game (an implementation of tic-tac-toe from 1950).
Would you call a 14 year old human old? At that point they’d be ~20% of they way through their life.
Boredom is the key to learning something it’s just very likely that it won’t be the thing school is trying to teach. Especially if the thing school is teaching is the thing boring you.
My job’s unlikely to go anywhere unless I commit a heinous crime and I already live well below my means in terms of required expenses.
I’m probably going to be fine, but just in case I intend to increase my cash savings and stock up a bit on nonperishable food and other required household goods.
Other than that there’s not a lot of prep I can do.
“Sounds shitty, have you considered suicide?”
Younger me was depressed, pessimistic, arrogant, and very much so an asshole with selective hearing. He would only hear the parts of what’s happened that fit what he expects to happen.
And despite quite a few negatives over the last decade or so, I’ve managed to do pretty well for myself.
He’d probably also tell me to lift with my knees. I had to do some heavy lifting at work yesterday and now my back’s sore.
why would anyone use cock sucking as an insult?
Probably because of the perceived power dynamic between the cock sucker and cock suckee.
How is that homophobic? There’s no mention of the gender of the bootlicking edgelords.
You don’t have to be a man to suck dick.
My recommendations are oriented towards people with a christian background, that said a lot of the ideas involved can be applied to religious belief systems as a whole.
Isaac Asimov’s guide to the Bible - an annotated version of the old and new testament that provides additional clarity and historical context.
The Skeptics Annotated Bible by Steven Wells - A version of the King James Bible with annotations written from an Atheist’s perspective.
The God Delusion by Richard Dawkins - A book that walks through a lot of the logical fallacies, magical thinking, and cognitive biases that Dawkins sees in religious belief. As the title suggests the tone of the book is rather aggressive (which I think is a bit counterproductive) but if you can read past that there’s a lot of good information.
At least as I understand it (and there’s a good chance I’m wrong) there’s nothing in US law preventing a state from seceding. It was determined that the way the southern states decided to do it in the runup to the civil war was unconstitutional (and possibly treasonous? seditious? Something like that), but there’s no law saying a state can’t secede. It’s just that there’s no defined process for it and the only way it has been tried was determined to be wrong.
From what I’ve read on the topic, there is technically a way it could be done. The country would basically have to follow the same process as passing a constitutional amendment, just with an additional step.
So, not technically impossible just so difficult that it is effectively impossible.
I typed out the below as a response to you, then reread what you wrote. We might be making the same point just with different words. Hopefully I’m not coming across as overly adversarial.
I think most people on social media, including lemmy, exist in an echo chamber that amplifies specific views to the point that it becomes easy to think those views are much more broadly held then they actually are.
Changing the question around like you suggest might help some people realize that, but I also think that there are a lot of people who think that the views expressed in their slice of social media are actually indicative of broader trends.
I also don’t think I’m immune to this effect, but I do feel somewhat compelled to point out specific instances of it when I notice it.
Well, not on a modern Xbox. On the OG XBox however…
At the time I’m writing this there are 78 comments in this comment section. I haven’t read all of them, so let’s just assume that every single one of those comments represents a unique individual who believes that the Switch 2 and the Steam Deck (and related) are direct competitors.
Given the nature of this platform and community that number is not even remotely surprising. It’s also an utterly insignificant number of people.
The overlap between people who would buy a Switch 2 and people who would buy a Steam Deck is a tiny sliver of a Venn diagram. Those are two largely separate categories of gamer.
That’s like just your opinion man
You might as well just start insisting that green is actually red, because that is how hilariously, ridiculously, mind-numbingly wrong you are.
Sure, just remember the S in IoT stands for security and IoT devices are just embedded devices connected to the internet.
And the Medical industry is the proof for the rule.
The only beauty in the (main) eye of a beholder is an anti-magic ray.
