I wonder if there’s a word for punishing everyone in a group for actions taken by only some members of a group, and if it’s considered ethical?

Even if you perfectly solve crashes (doubtful, definitely not something that exists right now), the problems of microplastic pollution from tires and emissions from electricity generation are non-trivial.
Everyone who thinks they could take a huge number of squirrels should consider what the jaws of a squirrel look like, how they were made for cracking open hard nuts, and what they could do to you if even one had it in its head to really hurt you:
I don’t think I could take more than a couple at a time, even if they weren’t coordinated in any way.
My husband and I still sometimes call to our cat by going “STIIIIINKYYYY!” in several of the voices Stimpy uses while looking for his fart. (Her name is not Stinky)
Honestly that is probably less dangerous than the regular streets of SF. Never felt more like I was about to die in a cab than I did riding in SF. Dude seemed to know what he was doing but it felt like a roller coaster.
Do you know how much I paid for this gender?? Molon labe 🔫
It’s not just cemetery rules that forbid filming for political purposes, it’s literally the fucking law. Toss it on the pile I guess.
A bot that just spams the media ratings of some random dude is so incredibly a techbro non-solution to the actual problem of people posting questionable sources. Not only does it not stop people from posting questionable sources to begin with, it creates a bunch of off topic chatter about the rating itself. So now instead of just removing poor sources, poor sources get a comment that probably 90% of people voting aren’t going to see. This is somehow progress, despite changing nothing.
I’m less worried about the sun (a very real concern in LA, but I don’t leave the house without a sun jacket) than I am about the 12 lanes of traffic surrounding it without any kind of barrier. I always see shattered glass leftover from previous wrecks at big intersections like this, it’s not something I really want to be near as a pedestrian if one happens while I’m there.
It adds no value to the posts, incites arguments (how is that helping with modding? Why do the mods need to announce MBFC’s rating on every post?), and exports critical thinking to a site that has its own biases while maintaining a veneer of “neutrality”. The ratings often have no justification, making them little better than some dude’s opinion. I can keep going but I think that covers most of it.
Glowing writing? At this time of year, at this time of day, in this part of the country, localized entirely within your hat?
… May I see it?
Probably also the record for ‘getting people you have shot in the face to apologize to you on TV’. It only happened once, but it was still weird.
edit: fuck me I’m getting old, that was Dick Cheney.
A way to improve the MBFC bot would be to delete it.
Failing that, a way to improve the community would be to ban it.
It absolutely is not a joke. It’s normal for regular name changes to require publishing a notice in the paper as well, the idea being that it’s a way to keep people honest (or at least findable) if someone is changing their name to duck out on their debts. There are exceptions for publishing notices if you’re changing your name due to domestic violence and stuff like that too.
But as is immediately obvious to anyone with a couple of brain cells to rub together, it can be INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS to a trans person to announce in the paper that they’re having a big trans name change!
God, I wish it was that easy when I changed my name and gender… and that was in California! My understanding is CA doesn’t require this anymore, but after I got my court order I had to get my doctor to fill out this form certifying me as a Real Transgender before the DMV would update shit. And this wasn’t in the 90s or anything, it was less than a decade ago. I consider myself lucky that the requirement to publish an ad in the paper announcing your name change was removed before I got mine done.
Get a handheld mirror, and use it in conjunction with your bathroom mirror. Or use your cell phone to take a picture of the back of your head, using a timer if it’s too awkward to hit the button.
Correct, that still doesn’t make me able to do anything about how lemmy.ml is run. Consider not going nuclear on people who didn’t cause your issue and have only offered to show you how to access the information you want.
My man, I have absolutely nothing to do with lemmy.ml. Look at my username, I’m on Blahaj. I am a random person explaining to you how to access your instance’s rules.
AI making itself sick is beautiful, honestly. If it was a plot device in a sci-fi show I’d call it too on the nose.
