dethb0y , in 6-year-old boy severely injured after apparent fall from Florida rollercoaster, officials say

Dunno that i’d be riding many amusement park rides in florida, to be honest.

ConditionOverload ,
@ConditionOverload@lemmy.world avatar

I mean, Florida has Disney World, Universal Studios, and Sea World. Millions of people ride rides there.

dethb0y ,

Yeah a lot of people make really poor choices in life and that’s just something that’s a sad reality.

TenderfootGungi ,

Just stick with the big parks that take safety seriously. Disney has few extreme rides anyway, they lean more into experiences. For example, the main Star Wars ride is built around factory robots that follow a line in the floor with only a drop on the elevator. It is the best ride I have ever been on. Universal is full of extreme rides but they have a great safety record.

InverseParallax , in 6-year-old boy severely injured after apparent fall from Florida rollercoaster, officials say

nearly two dozen feet

Aye, the lad be very damn lucky he fell mark twain 'thout dyin!

That’s almost 8 yards, he didn’t get a first down.

Not trying to lessen the tragedy, but we gotta get better with measurements, this is ridiculous.

how high did he fall in dozen of eggs?

Noughmad ,

Yards are too similar to meters, us commie Europeans would actually know how much that is. Can’t have that.

Peppycito ,

If only they had made yards and meters equal then we could talk to each other in our preferred units. I’m perfectly happy to concede to a bigger yard.

FauxPseudo , in Texas Judge Says Doctors Can Use ‘Good Faith Judgment’ in Providing Abortions

And then the state decides otherwise every single time and every abortion provider is locked up. Good faith judgement isn’t guaranteed immunity in court. It’s a trap.

Isn’t this the same place where a kid died last year because one of their rides had a faulty harness or something?

    Oh my gosh you're right, that's embarrassing. I'm deleting my comment from before, oops. Thank you!

    ultimate_question , (edited )

    It was a vertical drop ride at the nearby Icon Park and the investigstion found that the harness had been improperly modified by the park at some point to theoretically accommodate large people in such a way that if a big enough person sat there it would fail to lock without any alert or warning; the scary thing is that it was probably like that for a long time. One thing the major Orlando parks have going for them is extremely tight safety standards, these side parks always seem like low budget attempts to prey on people who can’t afford Disney lol

    I haven’t seen the film or heard much about it, only seen a preview before gaurdians but

    How is this film QAnon-adjacent?

    (and how is it that anti-pedophilia is now only a right wing thing when the church has been fucking children for decades? dont let em have it…)

    Caitlynn ,
    @Caitlynn@feddit.de avatar

    This whole anti pedophilia thing coming from the right is just projection. They assume everyone else is one because they are.

    SpezBroughtMeHere ,

    So is your take that child trafficking isn’t a thing or it’s just not something that should be worried about?

    zaph ,
    @zaph@lemmy.world avatar

    They’re saying the right need to leave trans people and drag queens alone because they’re far from the problem when it comes to pedophilia and trafficking.

    Being anti-peaodophelia is a good thing. However, accusing other people of doing the things you’re doing is a bad thing.

    akintudne ,
    @akintudne@reddthat.com avatar

    It’s not. The media keeps wanting to make it so. There’s nothing Qanon about it. Jim Caviezel is a proponent of Qanon conspiracies, and that’s its only connection.

    I know she can be “controversial” here, but Shoe0nHead did a video on it.

    Blamemeta ,

    Well you see, its not. The left just wants it to be, so they say that it is anyways. Its called lying.

    VindictiveJudge ,
    @VindictiveJudge@lemmy.world avatar

    A lot of the cast and crew and people who endorsed the movie are very into the whole Qanon thing, including Tim Ballard, the real guy the movie is about. The movie itself doesn’t actually promote any of that, though, (or at least, not that I could tell) and a good chunk is based on a real sting operation. There’s a lot of fiction, as is the case with most ‘based on a true story’ movies, though. And I haven’t checked, but I’m kind of suspicious of the charity they encourage you to donate to during the credits.

    Where's the word count for how many times Qanon is mentioned in this conspiracy theory laced film?

    CharlestonChewbacca ,

    Probably more to do with this guy being a QAnon nut.

    What are you trying to say? If they don’t say the magic letter Q then it has nothing to with conspiracy nonsense? They are trying to be subtle. It didn’t work, but they tried.

    Good. Now, with any luck, he’ll heal up so he can go back to prison scared and live in fear of his next attack. And with any more luck, that will happen again, and again, and again, and again…

    Our version of this ride at Michigan Adventure requires a height of 44 inches. My kid was 5 (almost 6) in June and was 45 inches. He’s particularly small. It was his favorite ride. I’ll be putting my arm around him next time we ride it.

    Only the tiniest of children are severely limited at amusement parks. A lot of 6 year olds hit 48 inches and can ride basically anything.

    Also, just based on the fact that they’re a data analytics and AI company, and their public privacy and security track record with their services, I’d genuinely be worried what kind of “guest experience analytics” is going on at that “hotel.” Is there a camera in the shower? You don’t know.

    thantik , (edited ) in A funder for 'Sound of Freedom,' a QAnon-adjacent film about child sex trafficking, has been charged with accessory to child kidnapping

    According to the article, his lawyer states he was just essentially the landlord where a custodial dispute happened. So it sounds like something adjacent to the crime, such as lying to one of the parents about having seen the kid or something. Honestly, my parents got in custodial disputes, and I’ve even had one myself - I was so distraught over it that my emotions almost landed me in a similar situation. Luckily everything resolved itself (my wife thought I was having an affair due to her “friend” trying to convince her of such), but custodial disputes are not anywhere near ‘child sex trafficking’ levels of evil here…

    It’s also not surprising at all that none of the comments thus far have shown any level of critical thought about the article either…

    Lifecoach5000 ,

    Well we are on the internet you know?

    enki ,

    You really stretched that one line into an entire hypothetical defense for a guy, while there’s literally zero evidence of any of that presented in the article.

    Bad troll.

    thantik ,

    Did you miss this line?

    “Mr. Marta had nothing to do with custodial kidnapping,” Scott Rosenblum told the outlet. “He was essentially a landlord.”

    With only that to go on…there’s some level of guessing at what that even means. You can only try and figure it out on hypothetical application.

    These places are DYING to put the words “Qanon”, “sex trafficking”, “sound of freedom” into an article for SEO purposes. You should start being critical of your sources rather than just taking things for face value.

    Haibane ,

    He’s a lawyer. It’s his entire job to lie and get his client off the charges. Do you actually believe a word that comes out of a defense lawyers mouth?

    thantik ,

    My wife got arrested for DUI when she was having a brain bleed and needed to be taken to a hospital, not a jail…but pigs are gonna be pigs, and a defense lawyer is the one who got it taken care of, so yes. Immediately jumping to “there’s a defense lawyer, you can’t believe him!”…is…kind of stupid. You know people get arrested, sued, etc for all sorts of things that aren’t true right?

    Her defense lawyer ended up being a piece of shit in the end, sure – but we have a justice system for a reason ya know.

    quazar ,

    Sir, I am from reddit - It’s bold of you to assume i read the article

    thantik ,

    I wasn’t gonna read the article either tbh; but I embarrassed myself by spouting untrue information based off of the title of an article and being corrected publicly a few months ago so I’m trying to be better about making sure the information I “know” is correct.

    Pandantic , (edited )
    @Pandantic@midwest.social avatar

    This! Read the article, guys! I hate QAnon as much as the rest but this guy was a “essentially a landlord” in a custody battle and, unless new facts come to light, it appears his part isn’t nearly as heinous as this clickbait title wants you to believe!

    atomdmac ,

    It makes me sad yo see this down voted with so little actual engagement with the content. Come on, Lemmy, you’re better than that!

    thantik ,

    I’ve learned that they really aren’t. I have seen this everywhere all week. All of the extremists of reddit seem to be the ones who hopped over, and they’re just as bad as qtards. Everyone is a troll, everyone is a bad faith actor to them, etc. Pretty much decided at this point that it’s just not worth attempting to engage with people online at all any more.
