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

    That was icon park, this is fun spot, two separate parks.

    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

    Good ole Florida. Gotta protect the kids from woke and socialist regulations on rollercoasters.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    dethb0y , in Clarence Thomas’s $267,230 R.V. and the Friend Who Financed It

    That’s not even a very nice RV; 270K barely gets you in the door on a decent one.

    FlyingSquid ,
    @FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

    Yeah, my mom had a Minnie Winnie, which is small by RV standards and by no means luxurious, and it cost over $150,000 so I doubt $270,000 for a bigger one (and I’m sure it’s bigger) is going to be first class living either.

    But who cares when it’s all performative bullshit anyway?

    thelastknowngod , (edited )

    He bought it in 1999. Adjusting for inflation, it costs about $490k in current dollars.

    EDIT: Also the point isn’t really about how much it cost as it does who financed it and how the payments were made (or not). If someone who made a fortune in healthcare loaned a scotus judge money for a luxury home/vehicle Thomas would have a conflict of interest on cases involving healthcare.

    Son_of_dad , in Jamie Foxx apologizes to the Jewish community for social media post

    Why do some Christians blame Jews or anyone for killing Jesus? I mean isn’t that what Jesus wanted? Wasn’t that the predefined plan? Kinda like Judas. If it was determined by god that Judas would betray Jesus, why should Judas be punished for it, and how is that free will?

    Anyways, it makes no sense.

    AdamUllstrom ,

    The Bible do not make sense. The more you read it the more you’ll be convinced that its all bull shit.

    There is a saying among atheist (paraphrased) “The road to atheism is through the bible” or “Only atheists have read the Bible cover to cover.”

    Hang on, bruh… you tryna tell me the earth isn’t 5,000 years old?

    Where exactly in the bible does it point out how old the earth is?

    Osirus ,

    Yeah I’ve been to churches that preach this too. Southern Baptist. Morons.

    afraid_of_zombies ,

    It doesn’t say. The number comes from adding up all the dates in it. Which is not something I have studied so I am not sure how they resolve all the little problems like the period of slavery being given two different durations or the two different chronologies from David to Jesus in Luke and Matthew.

    Don’t try the allegorical approach. It was not allegorical for people who wrote the Bible.

    It's from Genesis. Scroll down to "Ussher's Methods" in the following link.

    Osirus ,

    I will 100% vouch for this. I got to the point while reading it that I was constantly putting it down pissed off that people believed it. 2 Kings 2:23 - 24

    FlyingSquid ,

    There were early Christian sects which venerated Judas as a saint because of that.

    And it’s not like he actually died, he was resurrected 3 days later by himself.

    afraid_of_zombies ,

    There was a splitter sect in early Christianity that went back to Jerusalem. At some point they were cast out of the temples and formed their own. They became bitter and angry. Gradually the other books of Christianity seeped into this community and at some point the fourth gospel (traditional called John) was written. Pilot and the Romans were recast as innocent powerless against the Pharisees. You can see for yourself the difference between Pilot’s interrogation in Mark, where Pilot is really hung up on the challenge to the throne, vs John where Pilot is working hard to prove that Jesus is innocent.

    As the Gospel with the most developed spiritual stuff, a proto-trinity, it is often the most studied and read from. Reneforcing the antisemitism.

    I guess the moral of the story is make sure to rotate your tires on every oil change.

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

    Innocent until proven guilty in a court of law

    yanyuan ,

    Especially since there is few public information so far. From the article:

    According to court records, the alleged kidnapping incident took place on July 21 but included few other details.

    […] Marta’s attorney told E! News that “the charges are unfounded.”

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

    Of course I don’t just believe the lawyer’s version either. However I don’t have enough information to scream “murder!”.

    Jaybob32 ,

    This comment should not be down voted. Even if you or I disagree with the person’s politics. This should be the default in any court. I didn’t read the article at first either just the comments. When I did read it, it seems very much click bait. They buried the lawyer’s quote way down in the middle of the article and only one line. No follow up on the actual situation and harped some more on Qanon. I personally despise people who continue Qanon conspiracies, but the rest of us have to be better.
