Pips , to news in Girls Basketball Team Kicked Out Of Boys League Championship After Defeating Boys Teams

I mean, yes, we all should. Don’t be a fucking dickhead should be common knowledge to every 6th grader regardless of gender.

Here’s the quotes:

SWOB President Tom Sunderman expressed concern in a statement:

“Doing this for 28 years, what we have worried about is a boys team losing to a girls team (especially in the year end tourney), they may get frustrated and retaliate against a girl.” "Then we have liability issues.” Prez, a social media user on X (Formerly Twitter), didn’t buy it.

“What he meant to say was they can’t have their boys being emasculated by a better girls team… it would be a blow to their developing manhood to get beat by girls.”

What context am I missing?

Pips , to news in Gaza War: Netanyahu rules out ceasefire

Without wading in to the host of other issues with your comment, at the bare minimum you have to acknowledge that Israel and North Korea have very different nuclear capabilities. There’s a reason a nuclear threat from Russia, for example, is taken more seriously than North Korea.

Pips , to workreform in I love gen-Z's attitude towards corporate culture

That’s true, but it’s basic human nature. Given two candidates who are both qualified but have different strengths, most likely the hiring manager will pick the person that seems easier to work with. This won’t always be the person who’s bubblier, but will usually be the person who’s more engaged during the interview. It’s not just about what someone’s like on paper, it’s also about being able to create enough of an impression with whoever’s hiring them that they’re memorable in a positive way.

This isn’t malicious, it’s just how almost everyone works. It, of course, also presents challenges for people who are neurodivergent. There’s no easy solution here, telling the hiring manager they’re neurodivergent is a mixed bag.

Part of why the interpersonal part matters is because most every person who has hired someone has been burned by someone who seemed fine on paper, so they gave the new hire a shot despite some flags during the interview. It’s happened to me, it sucks and feels shitty. When that happens, if they’re competent, the manager starts going for people who seem more engaged during the interview (as opposed to super eager, which can be a red flag).

Lastly, hiring people is a skill. Some people are good at it, I am not. At least I learned very quickly that I should let others handle it, which I hope prevented future mismatches between the candidate and the job.

Is “you’re the passenger, you do it, please,” an acceptable response?

Pips , to news in Supreme Court restores Trump to ballot, rejecting state attempts to ban him over Capitol attack

What are you talking about? Citizens United was a 5-4 decision as to the parts everyone is mad about. The 4 dissents were Ginsberg, Kagan, Stevens, and Sotomayor. The liberals concurred with the conservatives as to a disclosure requirement, which, why wouldn’t they? They dissented as to the rest of the opinion. Unsurprisingly with the benefit of hindsight, the only justice who disagreed with the reporting requirements was Thomas.

Pips , (edited ) to news in Supreme Court restores Trump to ballot, rejecting state attempts to ban him over Capitol attack

A lot of the Constitution assumes a level of good faith that just no longer exists among Republicans. Anyway, by my read Colorado can still make it a state law and be totally fine since there would be no conflict, they just can’t use the 14th Amendment.

Ultimately, it’s a stupid decision based on stupid facts, the worst kind. He hasn’t yet been found guilty of insurrection, let alone in that state, so they’re just sort of declaring it’s true via a lesser standard. While it absolutely is true, it’s asinine to use an amendment that otherwise protects fucking criminal due process to then declare in a civil case someone a criminal and disqualify them from office.

Yeah they’re like how Mao was a communist.

They’re tankies, some of the most bizarre idiots around.

Pips , to technology in Police shut more than 14,000 accounts on Mega, Tutanota and Protonmail

There’s typically reason to suspect the account owner first. They’re not trawling through random accounts, law enforcement doesn’t have the time or authority to do that. Note that intelligence agencies are not law enforcement, I’m not talking about what some spy agencies might do.

Since this is law enforcement, typically you don’t have a verdict to rely on, but they’d have a warrant or subpoena to get the necessary evidence to further the case.

Pips , to news in Illinois judge who reversed rape conviction removed from bench after panel finds he circumvented law

Process is a vital element of the law. If we can’t even get our shit together to properly prosecute someone, then they don’t get punished for their crime. Frankly, with the sheer amount of unethical behavior by judges, this should happen far more often. You’ll very quickly see improvements in the justice when the actual consequences are fucking rapists and murderers go free.

But either way, this is arguably one of the best parts of American law: a way for the system to hold itself accountable. The consequence for this level of due process violation, as we can clearly see, can be severe.

And yes, I get that the guy was convicted, I agree he did it. But he received this sentence and it would be a miscarriage of justice to later give him a harsher sentence just because of a process failure. Also, for what it’s worth, prison in America is of limited benefit. It can keep some truly dangerous people away from the general population, but otherwise is a great place for low-mid level criminals to become better and more dangerous criminals. This guy would be out in four years and, most likely, have become better at both violent crime and not getting caught all because of prison.

They have almost definitely archived data and around the time of the API bullshit, made sure they didn’t delete those archives. They have that content if they want to use it.

Just because a tool exists doesn’t mean it’s particularly good at what it’s supposed to do.

They’re almost definitely trained using an archive, likely taken before they announced the whole API thing. It would be weird if they didn’t have backups going back a year.

Pips , to lemmyshitpost in For those thinking of going back to reddit. Gaze upon this comment section and reconsider.

Well, you know what they say. Play bitch games, win bitch prizes.
