replicants aren’t robots, they’re genetically engineered human slaves

Murdoc ,

Going by a strict definition of the word, neither are the ‘bots’ that these systems are designed to detect. So, kinda funny anyway?

i upvoted…
but, first time i saw it i thought they were robots, so i said something

Murdoc ,

Fair enough. 🙂

Dictionaries have definitions. I think most thesauruses are just lists of words

reverendsteveii , to lemmyshitpost in car insurance

this is markets working. this is why we want police to have to carry insurance.

Everythingispenguins ,

Police departments do carey insurance, and a few rare cases departments have shut down because of being uninsurable.

But do we really want private free market solutions for public problems?

reverendsteveii ,

do we really want private free market solutions for public problems?

When we have public solutions in-place? No. When we have no solution in-place and the police kill unarmed victims of crime who are fully cooperating with commands and then try to suppress video evidence of it? Then yeah, maybe I’m okay with an imperfect solution.

Everythingispenguins ,

Sadly it is not really even an imperfect solution. Yes there have been a few departments who lost insurance, but it did nothing to stop the cops responsible for the bad behavior from working as cops, often at the agency who has to take over. Additionally the number of departments shut down is just a drop in the bucket of bad behavior. Lastly this can leave communities without adequate law enforcement.

I have nothing against increasing the cost of bad policing, but this does very little of anything to actually cause change.

Revan343 ,

That’s why it would work better if they individually had to carry insurance. Cops with a history of bad behaviour would find themselves priced out of the job.

You need to wait until the sun is fully covered to shoot safely.

So you only shoot it when it's dark? Pretty sure this guy's a cop, everyone.

Because she looked at a solar eclipse without one of those boxes

Urban Dictionary has helped me with so many words over the years.

merde ,

now that Wiktionary has the definition of hot carl, urban dictionary is redundant 🙈

hydroptic OP ,

Possibly misapplied from hot carl “a cheap red wine enema, usually involving Carlo Rossi Merlot”.

I dunno but it’s cartoon better have a little tin cup and be begging - they are aggressive AF with trying to get donations. In general, but especially if you ever give them money.

hydroptic OP , (edited )

They sorta have to be aggressive because it’s damn near impossible to get people to pay for online services nowadays. Everybody expects to get everything for free, but also nobody wants to see ads (for a good reason too, mind you.)

Imgonnatrythis ,

Yeah, I wish they would push a different model. I think the charity model is likely unsustainable long term. Quality contributions to the information should buy you some access and perhaps everyone gets access to some basic info on entries but more in depth data requires a micropayment perhaps.

hydroptic OP ,

Unfortunately that’d probably kill it ded; like I said, people are really loath to pay for online services.

Imgonnatrythis ,

Kagi been doing well. I think tides are shifting

Duamerthrax , (edited )

It would get infested with bots writing articles and other bots upvoting the quality status. The people with resources to do that wouldn’t have any interest in telling the truth.

Especially considering urban dictionary consists almost entirely of shock humor and isn’t really a good resource for you know, actually understanding people.

Treczoks , to lemmyshitpost in car insurance

So, basically, he had one accident per year. And he is not smart enough to understand that the universe is trying to tell him "Don't drive a car, then!"

OneWomanCreamTeam ,

I mean “don’t drive a car” isn’t always an option, especially if you’re in America.

Treczoks ,

From a certain accident rate upwards, it is. Anywhere.

OneWomanCreamTeam ,

Nah, people here just drive without a license. I really wish that wasn’t the case but it’s kind of inevitable when so much quality of life here is dependent on driving.

If you’re lucky enough to have people to support you that can really mitigate it, but unfortunately we’re not all so lucky.
