Every single time I swear it's because the person doesn't want a written record and has figured out that they're more likely to get what they want if they can bullshit you to your face, when it's harder to parse out all the bullshit in person.

It's a favoured strategy of rental agents for this reason.

At what point is supporting the prosecution of this assassin advocating for violence? The social murder done by the CEO is so many orders of magnitude greater, and the state will do violence to the killer to defend the industry's right to do social violence.

Nobody was having this conversation when people rightly cheered the deposing of Assad. Guess what? That involved violence, a lot of it. That was state-backed violence too though, so I guess we're all just fine with it.

The state calls its own violence "law" and that of the people "crime".

I guess lemmy.world is happy to just go along with whatever the state wants. It's just insulting that you pretend it's about "violence" and you expect people to believe you.

This doesn't tell the devastating story I think you were hoping it would tell. Your posts there, while not wrong and not even necessarily disagreed with by the people there, were off topic and obviously just an attempt at whataboutism.

Whilst we're on the topic of bad faith actors, you seem to be intent on drumming up drama by posting things that you know are off topic, that you know are likely to get you removed and then cry foul about it here. Yes, the term "commie" as a synonym for tankie is wrong and a little concerning, but you're not making a strong case here.

Maybe they are some shitbag centrist, who knows. That doesn't change the fact that the tankie instances are doing tankie things completely consistent with the behaviour of tankie mods which are notorious to anyone with experience of them either here, on reddit or elsewhere.

They explain in the video that SODIMM socketted RAM is bulky and power hungry. The low power chips used to need to be soldered, but this is a new way to use the low power smaller chips with a socket. That's the difference.

Also fair, the unique combo of boombox, shorts, air jordan tee and pulled up socks is particularly uncanny. I would've assumed the boombox had been sitting in an evidence locker since 1982 if it wasn't for the blue LEDs.

This would've been funny as fuck to see happen. I cannot get the image out of my head of a silly duck flailing its wings trying to stay upright till it finally slides to a halt.

You don't put a four syllable word in your -max lingo. It's canc-maxing, short for cancer-maximising. Can't let the normies in on our strats.

In case anyone's unclear about how someone gets to the point that they're blasting their gun into an empty street because an acorn fell on their car, you should learn about How Cops Are Trained to Shoot You in Your Home.

TL;DW: watch it, this is important. But also they are basically traumatised into being jumpy trigger happy motherfuckers by their sociopathic training.

That link is an unsourced opinion piece on a site belonging to something called the Adam Smith Institute. I'm gonna need something a bit more credible before I believe it tbh.

Hank's razor

"If an effect can be explained by socioeconomic status, it's probably that rather than the thing that you're measuring."

I mean this isn't quite the effect of socioeconomic status as much as it is the effect of removing socioeconomic status from the equation.

So actually yeah it sort of is.

Guess this'll be the day that I die.

It's a lot easier to impose your lifestyle on other people with a multiton death machine that eats children for breakfast.
