catloaf , in Missouri prison ignores court order to free wrongfully convicted inmate for second time in weeks

By Missouri state law, this is kidnapping. Anyone involved with the non-release should be charged, tried, convicted, and imprisoned for up to four years (class E felony).

I don’t know if Missouri also has enhancements for people abusing their badge or office, but every state should.

Monument ,

It’s also deprivation of rights under color of law, a federal offense.

My friend brought a dead bat into my house recently. I just couldn’t believe the stupidity

If one tosses something on something else, one would think that the thing that has been tossed is now on the recipient of the tossing.

Incredible that the IOC thinks the US will still be a viable country in 10 years.

I created a ton of content for Reddit as well and it actually made them worth less on their IPO.

11111one11111 ,

This is a joke, right? Im so bad at sarcasm when I can’t see a shit eating grin laughing at my gullible lol. Or did you really have valuable content on Reddit at the time of their IPO?

MagicShel ,

Pretty sure they’re saying they made sure Reddit was full of shitposts and low quality content, thus lowering the value. It’s a funny, self-deprecating post (to me).

11111one11111 ,

See I thought that was what they’re implying but was to curious about the content part not to ask lol. Thanks!

Cryophilia , in Amazon claims to power all its operations with renewable energy. If only that were true.

TL;DR: Amazon is offsetting its power consumption via renewable production elsewhere, which even though it mathematically works out to the same thing, isn’t good enough for this guy.

Data centers whose energy demand isn’t met on a 24/7 basis from zero-carbon sources located on the same grid are not part of the climate solution, they are part of the problem.

Bullshit. Just an excuse to bash Amazon. We should be celebrating companies that use renewable energy, not moving the goalposts.

You don’t get it, MAGA told me Russia is the bastion of freedom! We’re supposed to want to live there more than the US! THEY HAVE BREAD! Fake News!

:P

MagicShel , (edited ) in Google's Exclusive Reddit Access

Google search is such garbage. I get why they would do this, but it’s just more enshittification and I just… don’t care. It’s like watching old friends doing meth. It’s sad, but in a way I just have to distance myself from instead of spending my energy trying to save them from a fate they are determined to meet.

This is a summary from Wikipedia about The Bluest Eye.

The Bluest Eye, published in 1970, is the first novel written by Toni Morrison. The novel takes place in Lorain, Ohio (Morrison’s hometown), and tells the story of a young African-American girl named Pecola who grew up following the Great Depression. Set in 1941, the story is about how she is consistently regarded as “ugly” due to her mannerisms and dark skin. As a result, she develops an inferiority complex, which fuels her desire for the blue eyes she equates with “whiteness”.

The novel is told mostly from Claudia MacTeer’s point of view. Claudia is the daughter of Pecola’s temporary foster parents. There is also some omniscient third-person narration. The book’s controversial topics of racism, incest, and child molestation have led to numerous attempts to ban the novel from schools and libraries in the United States.[1]

I agree with them. Racism, incest and child molestation are obscene. And children need to know exactly how obscene they are.

What? That’s what the book teaches them?

Huh.

ChicoSuave ,

“We don’t like when other people say racism exists. It hurts our white feelings to think that race exists. We are all the same, just don’t move into my neighborhood because of what you look like, which probably means you’re just like the others.”

Carrick1973 , in Inside the two-year fight to bring charges against school librarians in Granbury, Texas

Fuck that guy. And I’m sure that he did all this while getting paid to actually protect the kids, which he didn’t do because he spent all his time in the library. The right wing mindset at this point in time is truly diseased. Obsessed over trivialities; scared of every little new difference that is considered progress by normal people. And how many of these idiots are paid with government positions all while trying to destroy the government?

Kyrgizion ,

And I’m sure that he did all this while getting paid to actually protect the kids, which he didn’t do because he spent all his time in the library.

You and I both know that at the first sign of possible violence he’d be the first one out the door.

This is the real reason that women were brought into the general work force.

sunzu ,

No... Real reason is so they are making the rich money and families have to consume more.

This is just poorly socialized likely older "men" being sex pests.

some_guy , in Records show deputy charged in Sonya Massey's fatal shooting worked for 6 agencies in 4 years

Holy shit. I forgot that they were gonna release the bodycam footage and only just watched it. The way he pulled his gun and threatened her from across a large space. There was no real risk of that water reaching him in a meaningful way. Yeah, he coulda been splashed a bit, but not to the head or face. And if he meaningfully thought she intended to threaten physical harm then he has no ability to read a situation. She said some weird shit, but to go directly to “I’ll shoot you in the face” is zero to maximum with no attempt to understand why she said it.

A dirty secret about California is that they make a lot of really good laws but are too chickenshit to actually enforce a lot of them.

Missouri, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, etc… If I were about to go to prison in the south, I’d kill myself for sure. I don’t think the barbarism of the American judicial system can get more horrific.
