I’d argue against the word “earn” even. One cannot earn one billion dollars at all.

Nobody deserves $1 billion when it would take a teacher about 20,000 years to make the same amount. And it’s not earned if it’s not deserved.

But that’s just semantic ranting, you’re right.

With how trigger happy police are, the false positives would lead to more deaths than they prevent. And police would claim it’s justified because the machine told them so.

Having no knowledge of the situation: If a meme has a risk of being interpreted romantically, you might be in too deep already.

Of course it’s insane! To threaten these absolute gods who wield the power of nature (and also accept part time work explaining their plots on television.)

Is their plan to shoot someone who can summon hurricanes?

What agenda is that referencing? I’m out of the loop.

I don’t understand the basis of the 24Hz limit rumor. My monitors are 144Hz, and if I limit them to 60Hz and move my mouse around I see fewer residual mouse cursors “after-images” than I do at 144Hz. That’s a simplified test that shows that the eye can perceive motion artifacts beyond 60Hz.

The eye can perceive LEDs that are rectified at 60Hz AC, it’s very annoying.

I won’t accept my pasta at anything lower than 120Hz.

The Facebook representative could not answer whether…

This guy’s terrible at his job. Even I can answer that one.

Abso-fucking-lutely yes.

And c/keming if it exists because damn that’s a painful font to look at.

Oh no I meant you were right. The article clarifies it, but the title is still odd the way it only says he hit a bicycle.

Yeah even the article says “bicyclist” while the title just says “bicycle”. Strange wording choice.

It blows my mind that anyone can be that wrong on all topics.

It’s like the difference between choosing random answers on a multiple choice test versus knowing the right answers and actively avoiding them to get the worst result. It feels like they’re trying to punish the US for something.

I wonder if you can order it “No whey”

Strangely, it’s not racism. This Attorney General is just notoriously an asshole.

Sandra Hemme, a white woman, was the longest wrongfully incarcerated person, and she recently went through the same issue in Missouri.

I’m sure you’re not wrong about the racism, but his bullshit seems to transcend race.

Bailey, who was appointed attorney general … has a history of opposing overturning convictions, even when local prosecutors cite evidence of actual innocence.

In 2023, Bailey’s office argued against then-St. Louis Circuit Attorney Kim Gardner’s effort to overturn the murder conviction of Lamar Johnson, who was imprisoned 28 years. A St. Louis judge sided with Johnson, who was freed.

Bailey’s office also argued in court in May against freeing Christopher Dunn, who has spent 33 years in prison for a 1990 killing that St. Louis Circuit Attorney Gabe Gore determined that Dunn probably didn’t commit. A judge is still deciding that case.

And Bailey is opposing St. Louis County Prosecuting Attorney Wesley Bell’s effort to set aside the murder conviction of Marcellus Williams. A hearing is Aug. 21 — just a month before Williams is scheduled to be executed. Testing unavailable at the time of the 1998 stabbing death found another person’s DNA on the knife, but not Williams’.

I would love to hear his justification for all of these. Is it just the for-profit prison money, or the pride of not being wrong?

Definitely not a step up. I don’t think…

The relatively small population of Lemmy makes these kinds of posts feel even more like a circlejerk than on other social media.

The odds of reaching someone who hasn’t heard this beaten to death are so slim.

Maybe different social media platforms have different censoring requirements.

The population of Maryland is 6.165 million. 100k people is 1.6% of the state’s population.

That seems insane.
