Do we as a society really need reminding don’t point weapons at police? Don’t do it folks.

Do we need a reminder that kids aren’t mini-adults, and they do stupid things sometimes? In any case, I’ll believe he pointed it at them when I see a video of it.

Hey I’ll give them some credit with that headline.

Not “13-year-old killed in police shooting” or “a 13-year old died during a police interaction” etc. Nope, they fully went with “Police in New York shoot and kill 13-year-old.” Thank you, PBS.

Also -

The shooting happened Friday night after officers in Utica stopped two youths at around 10:18 p.m.

One of them fled and pointed what appeared to be a handgun at the officers, according to a statement by the Utica Police Department.

I’ll be interested to see when that footage is released and what it contains.

Fuck if it doesn’t seem true.

Microsoft has gone too far:

Just now, with this?

No idea why they’d think that…

How is it possible to be a member of the pre-civil-rights generation of white people and be so oblivious as to

• DON A SHIRT that says in huge letters “Blacks for Trump”
• Wear it in public
• To an event ostensibly targeted to black people
• Willingly pose for a picture wearing it with no black people in evidence except those laughing at you or giving you the side eye from a distance.

She pretty much created her own bad reputation. Not just from this show, but it definitely cemented it. There was also a sex tape scandal, but I think it was wrong to slutshame someone for something like that even back then.

Her main reputation was always vapid, filthy rich, snotty socialite - she was hardly the first, but she might have been the first we got to watch in a seasons-long reality show.

Edited to add - if that stuff was all an intentional move to bring shame on her family for how they mistreated her growing up, I’m now her biggest cheerleader.

Yep. When I got out of bed this morning I would not have predicted this would be the day I’d have respect or sympathy for Paris Hilton.

I don’t support banning memes or the news either, but they aren’t under attack currently.

I have servers on Digital Ocean and Linode and also one in my basement, and have had no problem. I do have all services behind NPM (not to suggest it’s a panacea) and use HTTPS/SSH for everything. (not to suggest HTTPS/SSH are either) My use case could be different than yours - my immediate family are my only consumers - but have been running the same services in those locations for a few years now without issue.

This one never really gets old anymore.

Those who advocate for defederation want echo chamber silos

OP: Makes a very nuanced post respecting all sides and understanding why people might want to defederate

You: Immediately reduces everyone you disagree with to a single catchy line.

I say this knowing I’m likely to get shit on for the .ml after my username, and also as someone who thinks meta is about the most evil company in existence, and who will not use any instance that voluntarily federates with threads.

The only sensible solution then is to ban toddlers from EVs. They’ll just have to walk.

Better give 'em guns too. With all that walking maybe they can stop a school shooting or two.

Not sure, but 20 month old toddler…

My god American regulation is so idiotic sometimes!!!

Dude, some person made that meme, and that person chose to use asterisks. It’s no more complicated than that.

What’s it say? Go find yourself? Go Fill yourself? IDK is this some game you Americans have where you have to guess the word

Apparently our ability to figure out a word from context is pretty much higher than yours though.

I think this should be posted as a comment to every article about this.

That’s how security clearance works bro

I get that, but it doesn’t change this statement.

This sheep has never seen anyone provide any kind of evidence for such claims.

Trust me bro isn’t evidence. It doesn’t mean you are wrong, it means you are a random person claiming to have inside knowledge but providing nothing but your word.

That’s how evidence works bro.

You see that this is trust me bro, no matter how correct you may be, right?
