Florida man seriously injured and unable to speak after encounter with police, daughter says after her father was falsely accused of stealing a banana (wiredposts.com)

A woman in Florida says her 55-year-old “medically fragile” father was falsely accused of theft at a Florida grocery store last week and then seriously injured in a violent encounter with police. Now, she says, he is hospitalized and has lost the ability to speak.

The other bananas may have looked like three yellow guns.

die444die ,

Do y’all’s grocery stores charge by number of bananas? Mine does if by weight. Not that I think that makes a difference, if I keep seeing people taking about paying for an extra banana so im curious.

I agree that increased range would be better - I’ve had cars (diesel) that could get nearly 600 miles on one tank and that allows you to do a lot more wandering though the countryside that is just not possible in an ev in the rural US. But it’s way more than 20 miles. Did you mean 200 miles?

I’m currently on a road trip in my 2021 EV and it can definitely be made to work, but it is definitely limiting on any spontaneous side excursions you find, which can be a pretty big bummer.

Double the range would definitely be appreciated for my use cases.

As far as it becoming a word of disparagement and slang for those who are stupid - thats basically what constantly happens. A new word comes out and eventually it is used to insult people and then another new word starts being used.

For an example:

What, pray tell, would you suggest that we vote for then?

die444die ,

In New Hampshire Biden wasn’t even on the ballot and won handily by write in against his primary opponents. I’ve only heard that there are 3 states in which Biden is the only candidate - and that’s because other candidates didn’t qualify.

Also, I’ve not seen any fantastic primary contenders step forward anyway. What makes you think Biden is “historically unpopular” enough to be the incumbent and be voted out in the primary?

die444die ,

Oh absolutely. I always pay attention to who I’m voting for and what I’m voting for.

“Just about every American has shocked themselves with it once”

Um, no.

die444die ,

Are you saying they shocked themselves plugging something in? Or putting something else into the outlet.

The plug itself is not really easy to shock yourself on, you’d have to intentionally try to do it by putting something behind it to bridge the pins, or have a broken plug or something, so that’s why I am saying this seems incorrect.

I definitely knew some dumbasses that would attempt to creat a power arc, but they were certainly not the majority.

die444die ,

Possible, sure. Easy? Not really.

die444die ,

That’s a real strong reach there buddy.

It’s always android users complaining about this. Why should Apple care if its users don’t?

I’m an iOS user and I use iMessage with some people, discord with some people, telegram with some people and Skype with some people and it doesn’t bother me in the slightest to do so. It’s not even cumbersome to do so, the contacts show up on the same share screen regardless of platform.

If the people you are communicating with don’t care enough to send something to you in a format that works for you, that’s on them, not on Apple.

Demanding that Apple make an app for android so that you can use their service without paying for their product reeks of entitlement though.

die444die ,

You are absolutely correct. I’m an iOS user and have absolutely no qualms using anyone’s preferred message app (as long as it’s not WhatsApp, fuck fb).

People have always hated on apples Windows apps, the same is probably true if they have to start making android apps too.

It’s literally the correct decision for them not to make an iMessage for android, the only people demanding it are the people who aren’t buying their products!

die444die ,

You’re asking them to do work and open up their chat platform to other devices that are outside of their ecosystem and they have no os level control over. The security aspect of this in itself makes this not something “incredibly basic and easy”.

On top of that, there’s literally no benefit for them to do it. There are plenty of third party options for chat out there, and again, clamoring for them to do this work and maintain a product while still maintaining security for no return is entitled and unrealistic.

People making this argument show themselves to be naive to how software development and business in general works.

Years ago I used to get frequent ear infections and my doctor recommended a 50 percent solution of alcohol and white vinegar. She also mentioned I could buy this same solution at the pharmacy premixed as a treatment for swimmers ear, at a much higher cost. I have been mixing my own and using it ever since at the first suggestion of an earache and haven’t had a true ear infection since.

The whole point of going to a doctor is that they are educated to help us with these types of problems. You want one that just flings a random expensive prescription at you? Fine, look for a doctor that does that. I’ll keep my doctor who understands that not all of us want to throw away money though.

die444die ,

You are the internet rando here questioning the doctors remedy. Thankfully no one seems to be taking you seriously.

die444die ,

I’m a huge Pink Floyd fan and I also love the Scissor sisters version. And I normally don’t like many covers of songs at all. I think there’s just something special about that one for me.

Saying something doesn’t necessarily violate university rules doesn’t mean that they think it is acceptable to do so.

die444die ,

Considering that many colleges and universities are run by the state, it is not always legal, or ethically questionable for them to police people’s speech. Asking if it breaks the rules is implying that they are responsible for something outside of their control and purview.

die444die ,

That is incorrect.

…wikipedia.org/…/Hate_speech_in_the_United_States

die444die ,

Not really. You can also have the abuser locked up and stay in your home.

die444die ,

Maybe go outside for a while instead of obsessing about things you clearly don’t understand.

Can someone explain the 100 Gecs things to me?

They sound like 90s grunge to me and I kinda love it. They also sound like teenagers, which is what they are (I think) so, there’s that. It’s like a mix of Hanson, Weezer, and Nirvana. It’s not bad, maybe not great, but what’s with all the hate/love/intergenerational controversy?

And both were not allowed to disclose it.

die444die ,

They literally don’t care to know the difference. All that matters is that they have people to attack and demean.

die444die ,

Then open your eyes and look.

die444die ,

The reason you can’t seem to understand this is not only because you are stupid, it’s also because you don’t want to.

Where to find replacement light bulbs for artificial Christmas Tree?

Dearest lemmings, I have a prelit Costco tree that changes from warm white to color and several of the lights are out but I cannot for my life find a replacement anywhere. I called Costco/Polygroup (company that made the tree) and they don’t sell replacement led light bulbs but they gave me these specs: LED dual color 3mm...

die444die ,

If it’s like old standard ones, here’s what you do:

See those metal posts at the bottom? Bend them straight down.

Lift the bulb out of the base.

Do the same to a burned out bulb.

Put the new bulb in the old base and bend the posts back up into place.

die444die ,

Did it work?!

die444die ,

Awesome! Your tree looks great!

die444die ,

I camped here and it was amazing. Cold, but amazing.

die444die ,

Actually now that I’ve looked it is a similar but different location lol.

Where I’m at they’ve returned to normal. I’m able to get 36 for around 4 dollars.

Did he actually help start any of those companies? I thought he basically bought his way into all but one of them, and the one he was part of he got kicked out of. But I may be remembering that wrong.

The remix is kinda good tho

Apple announces that RCS support is coming to iPhone next year (9to5mac.com)

In a surprising move, Apple has announced today that it will adopt the RCS (Rich Communication Services) messaging standard. The feature will launch via a software update “later next year” and bring a wide range of iMessage-style features to messaging between iPhone and Android users....

die444die ,

No they don’t.

die444die ,

Thats because it’s just not true that people care about bubble color. Or at least no one I’ve ever encountered at least. The way people talk about it on here you’d think kids were killing themselves because they have an android phone and no one with iPhones will talk to them.

die444die ,

They should be publicly ridiculed and shamed then for their stupidity.

die444die ,

What larger than average maintenance costs are you referring to?

die444die ,

Repairs are not the same as maintenance though, and Rivians are extraordinarily expensive just in general.

die444die ,

No?

die444die ,

Yeah the reason I asked them is because on my VW Id.4, in 3 years I’ve had none either. It’s telling that they haven’t answered.

die444die ,

Thank you for sharing how thus affects you. It’s important for people to see that this is affecting actual people and not some strawman concept they don’t understand.

Her lawsuit, filed in 2021, alleged that she met a man in his thirties on Omegle who forced her to take naked photos and videos over a three-year period. She was just 11 when it began in 2014.

Not all methods of force are physical. This was an adult talking to an 11 year old. 11 year olds have in many cases not had enough life experience to understand that there are adults that will manipulate them in this way. It’s possible he got her to do things and then blackmailed her for more. Regardless of how he did it, he was an adult and she was an 11 year old child. Not acceptable no matter the circumstance.

die444die ,

Ok but that’s still not the kids fault. It’s the adult who forced a child to send him nude photos.

die444die ,

Absolutely fucking wrong. Trump is going to most likely be the republican candidate and that shit stain cannot be allowed anywhere near our government again.

die444die ,

Haha you’re really just trying to argue at this point aren’t you? I didn’t call anyone out - I referred to calling out the fact that this is a clickbait headline, which it 100% is. Did you write the shitty headline in question? Why are you so worked up about this?

die444die ,

I said that the headline should be called out. Not the author. A headline is not a person. It cannot hear. You know what, you can’t be this stupid. You’re obviously a troll. Blocked.
