breadsmasher , in 5 people were shot at Morgan State University and police have yet to locate a suspect, officials say
@breadsmasher@lemmy.world avatar

As the gun nuts usually say “good guy with gun stops bad guy with gun”.

Yet more evidence that is nonsense

Dead_or_Alive ,

Guns are usually illegal on campus. No good guy with a gun if the good guy is following the rules.

The police as well as the good guy with a gun have no obligation to protect you. If you choose to leave your safety up to the goodwill of others then that is your decision.

Polar , in Bus crash near Venice kills 21 people

I guess a point for cars?

petersr , in Shouting at children can be as damaging as physical or sexual abuse, study says

Read the title as “shooting” and thought “another American post…”

Agent641 ,

Me too! I was like “Did we expect the kid to just shrug off the bullets?”

Pratai , in A livid Donald Trump rants against judge hearing his New York fraud case

Livid Donald Trump….

I like how that sounds.

SerfDWeb , in Idaho Banned Abortion. Then It Turned Down Supports for Pregnancies and Births.

Pro-life??? Not so much. Anti-women and kids.

SerfDWeb , in Man accidentally shot child while officiating wedding near Lincoln, deputy says

He just had to take out the Holy Handgun.

SerfDWeb , in Kevin McCarthy is ousted as House speaker in a historic vote pushed by conservatives

Could we please stop calling these agents of destruction “conservative”? They don’t want to conserve anything. “Destructives” would be better.

Gruntyfish , in Drug dealer tried hiding cocaine by dumping it in a police car, Nebraska authorities say

You triggered my trap card!

HakFoo , in US adds another option for fall COVID vaccination with updated Novavax shots

Is there a good rundown of the differences? Is there a suggestion to stick with the one you had before, or does it not matter since this is a new formula?

Most importantly, I want a systemd-free vaccine. The 5G/Bill Gates/Diet Pepsi conspiracy chips in there better run a respectable init system!

Ikr I’ve had 3 boosters already and my reception still sucks…

Bye , in US expands probe into Ford engine failures to include two motors and nearly 709,000 vehicles

Sometimes I see new broncos and I’m jealous, but now I have this knowledge so I don’t need to be.

Also tiny 2.7L turbo v6? Pathetic

I thought my Toyota’s 4L v6 was small, now I feel better. Some day I’ll save up and buy the TRD supercharger kit :)

Cosmonauticus , in US announces sweeping action against Chinese fentanyl supply chain producers

Isn’t it kind of rich that America is doing this when we’re the world’s largest supplier of firearms to cartels?

qfe0 ,

Two wrongs don’t make a right, but three lefts do.

tryptaminev ,

No you see the cartel guns mostly kill Mexicans, but the Dope kills Americans.

merc , in Kevin McCarthy is ousted as House speaker in a historic vote pushed by conservatives

Apparently some of the Republicans are talking about nominating Trump as speaker. The speaker doesn’t technically need to be a member of congress. I wonder if there are enough anti-Trump republicans in the House to block that. If it’s a close vote and certain congress people block Trump, they could get a mountain of hate.

Lemminary ,

That sounds scary if possible

elscallr ,
@elscallr@lemmy.world avatar

It’s not

clutchmatic ,

Amazing that the founding fathers didn’t contemplate the possibility of a felon under active lawsuits becoming speaker

nxdefiant ,

In defense of the founding fathers, they were all traitors to the crown and enemies of the state when they wrote that.

SnowdenHeroOfOurTime ,

…and?

CADmonkey ,

Possibly they were young and drunk too.

vaultdweller013 ,

Also opiun.

Agent641 ,

Boys will be boys

Raiderkev ,

They also sold drugs, ran guns, and said fuck the law. This documentary touches on it.

Varixable ,

They probably didn’t contemplate having an active child Diddler be speaker from 1987-2007 either, but Republicans sure love their historic firsts.

frezik ,

They didn’t even contemplate the House Speaker being in the Presidential line of succession. Which is the reason they want to put Trump there. Not that it would work; they’d have to remove both the President and Vice President at the same time, and the Senate ain’t going to do that.

clutchmatic ,

An angry mob with strong will to unalive certain people before the #3 in the line of succession would be a major concern

merc ,

The founding fathers were amazingly shit at game theory.

hglman ,

Considering no one would formalize game theory for 150 years it’s not particularly surprising.

merc ,

You don’t need to necessarily formalize game theory to consider things like: hey, we just gave the president the authority to pardon. Couldn’t they abuse that? What if they pardon someone who was doing something illegal that they ordered? What if they commit a crime and pardon themselves?

I mean, that’s the most obvious one that you don’t really need formal game theory to know could be a problem. Then there are all the other problems. Checks and balances are good, but when a powerful faction uses its power to put loyalists into the thing that’s supposed to balance them, the system seems to unravel.

homesnatch ,

Only 3-4 republican votes are needed to block any candidate since the Democrats will all be voting against.

merc ,

Yes, but if Trump is on board, can you imagine the mountain of hate mail and death threats those 3-4 would receive? Would they have the guts to accept that consequence?

@insomniac@sh.itjust.works avatar

This is one of the least likely scenarios.

sturmblast ,

that ain’t going to happen

psmgx ,

Speaker of the house is 3rd in line to take over if the VP and Pres are dead or unavailable.

Question is if you think that MAGA and foreign intelligence would be up for forcing that issue.

Thief_of_Crows ,

Making Trump speaker would be a major national security risk to Biden and Harris. Gives way too many lunatics big ideas is there’s a direct benefit to their movement. Not to mention it WAYYY to closely mirrors the arc of Hitlers rise. Failed coup attempt, followed by taking on a secondary post a few years later.

Zella111 , in Florida hit by Canadian smoke from historic wildfire season

I live in FL, unfortunately, and a neighbor told me today that the smoke was created by the democrats. They’re sending it to FL to try to hurt the Republicans and Trump. When I said it hit the northeast long before it got to Florida she said that just proves they don’t mind testing it in their own people. You can’t even argue with these people.

veloxization ,
@veloxization@yiffit.net avatar

I wonder what they think the smoke does. Does it magically make kids trans or something?

Zella111 ,

That’s a good question but one I doubt I will ask. I’ve learned it’s not worth going down the rabbit hole with these people. It just encourages them and makes my brain hurt.

fosforus , (edited ) in Shouting at children can be as damaging as physical or sexual abuse, study says

This is correlation study, and we all know what that means, right? Correlations are significant results certainly, but not at all conclusive.

barsoap ,

This is psychology/sociology, not MINT. If you start to question whether childhood experience is a valid causal vector to influence adult behaviour you should become a philosopher while the rest of the world happily assumes causation.

Also if you had actually glanced at the study you’d have seen that it’s a systematic review. Skimming over it what it’s saying is “there’s a ton of unorganised data out there that nonetheless shows a clear and distinct pattern we should study the topic for its own sake”.
