So the uniform starts with gold tennis shoes, gold diapers, and now an ear bandage. The GOP sure is putting sexy on display!!!

I would love to see someone wearing the whole uniform one day.

Glytch ,

Tomorrow you’ll be able to buy gold ear bandages for $500 a pop.

@Zier@fedia.io avatar

Only $500? Are they on sale?

Glytch ,

That’s what the price is reduced to if you buy one with a pair of full-priced shoes.

tiredofsametab , to nottheonion in Republicans wear ear bandages in 'solidarity' with Trump

And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

FlyingSquid , to world in Israel orders Gazans to evacuate part of Rafah for 'limited' operation
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

They’ll limit it to killing everyone who didn’t evacuate that part of Rafah. For now.

Revan343 ,

Naw, they’ll wait until everyone evacuates, and then bomb wherever they evacuated to

thejml ,

Why not both?!

Revan343 ,

You’re right, it’ll be both; it’s not like they need to conserve ammunition, America will always send them more

I really don’t know. I think for certain types of crimes, I’m ok with it. Like rapists of young children. They have zero contribution to society and are unable to be repaired. I don’t know if this crime fits that threshold. 47 billion is ridiculous.

DABDA ,

The possibility/certainty of intentional or accidental false convictions doesn’t affect your acceptance of the state meting out permanent punishment?

GladiusB ,
@GladiusB@lemmy.world avatar

If it’s marginal of course. I’m talking about the real psychopaths that either admit it or are caught on camera with witnesses.

DABDA ,

Consider what your thresholds are for what constitutes witnesses and admissions of guilt. For example, confessing to crimes that weren’t actually performed by them, do you honor the claim anyway?

And does a group of police witnessing a suspect or conversely a group of the suspect’s friends witnessing a police officer do something heinous count?

Remember any mistakes cannot be remedied.

GladiusB ,
@GladiusB@lemmy.world avatar

I am. There are some truly sick people out there. I’m talking about some one off that is in a bad situation without any evidence.

But people like Dahmer, Hitler, Osama Bin Laden, I’m ok with those going away as a message to society. I don’t think it’s unnecessarily a bad thing.

DABDA ,

I’m not going to try to convince you otherwise but I just want you to recognize that your position is that you’re ok with “bad” people being killed as a form of punishment and mine is that ensuring that label is always appropriately applied is an impossibility.

I don’t like the thought of terrible people getting to continue to live if they’ve done irreparable harm to others, but I’m also not ok with saying that we totally need to burn THAT WITCH because Goody Constance totally witnessed them communing with the devil.

Osama/Hitler getting killed in military action - fine. An abused child/person killing their attacker - look the other way. Giving Edward Snowden lethal injection because he totally deserves it for endangering Americans - not acceptable.

@GladiusB@lemmy.world avatar

Yea. It’s more like if this person can’t be studied or has no use here except to haunt the living, sure. Get rid of them. Some of them want that. Some psychos know how bad they are to society.

But then you have a lot to weigh in on. You said it shouldn’t exist at all. Which for the most part I do agree with. But there are some that I am ok with going away.

Hitler was not killed in action. He killed himself. People like Dr. Death or the rest of his inner cronies can be executed as well.

SapphironZA , to news in US says UFO sightings likely secret military tests

A reminder that mach 3.5 jet aircraft were flying around in the mid 60s before we had computer chips.

That was 60 years ago now. and 60 years before that, the airplane had only been around a year or so.

We would not believe the prototype shit that is flying around today.

Num10ck ,

once you reach ‘unmanned’ craft, the capabilities can get silly. the pilot being able to function in the G forces used to be a major limiting factor. remote-control meant limiting capabilities to what a human could comprehend. now we’re well past that too.

Hisnitch , to technology in 'Crypto King' Sam Bankman-Fried guilty of FTX fraud

So, interesting point here is that the jury only took 4 hours to complete. Just four. That means that they basically made up their minds and they just needed to confirm.

cwagner ,

If someone thought he was innocent, SBF would probably “well, actually…” them.

Hisnitch ,

Judging from my understanding of the trial, that pretty much sums up his defense.

greedytacothief , to technology in Microsoft completes $69bn takeover of Call of Duty-maker Activision Blizzard

I don’t know, maybe I should be angry or something. But Activision/Blizzard have been pretty shitty for a while now. This will just be more of the same and more of me continueing to not buying their games.

normalexit ,

I grew up on Blizzard and Activision games, but the good feelings and nostalgia wore off when they started treating beloved franchises like DLC piggy banks.

Salamendacious OP ,
@Salamendacious@lemmy.world avatar

Well he pled guilty so a jury wouldn’t get involved, I don’t think. The judge just has to issue the sentence now.

xtr0n ,

I wonder why he plead out. I feel like there would be a really high chance that at least one juror would refuse to convict.

SheeEttin ,

That would be a mistrial, not an acquittal.

xtr0n ,

Yes. And you don’t get punished if you have a mistrial. But you do end up spending a fortune on lawyers and the prosecutor can choose to try you again

drathvedro , to worldnews in Ukraine war: Burger King still open in Russia despite pledge to exit

AFAIK, the situation with Burger King, is that unlike McDonalds, BK doesn’t have much leverage over Russian franchisee’s. They can try and say “close the stores, we’re leaving”, but the actual store owners would just say “no” and re-brand them back to “Rostik’s”. They don’t really have any assets in Russia so there’s nothing really to sell either, but they do still receive the franchise fees. So pulling out would only benefit Russia

floppyd ,

Rostik’s is actually what KFC was, and the funny thing about it is KFC has the similar franchise structure in Russia, they officially left, told all franchisees to change names back to Rostik’s, but the biggest one just said “no” even to that, as KFC’s contract that includes the rights to use the name expires only in 2035.
