@pobuelo2524 @GundamNoContext Vague is another word for weak. That's just how the law works.

@GundamNoContext the more vague the case is and complex the parties are, the longer it will last , thats just how law works

The thing with the big Lego theft case is that even outside its sheer absurdity, why are we agreeing to live within a legal system where "drag things out legally because we can afford it and they can't" is one of the default strategies. Shouldn't that be a felony or something

@FlannaGanna @checkoutandrew @Martiangunsmith @HomesteadAmeric I agree, but that's not the current reality of the market. Median entry-level pay for a gunsmith in Garner is $15.50. For a machinist it's $19.

@checkoutandrew @Martiangunsmith @HomesteadAmeric Shut the fuck up. An apprentice should be able to afford a fucking room in the area he works.

Fucking wild I cant understand how these companies can act like this is normal

@Ancap_Revolt @Lainezor @inkblotPrincess Or ask an LLM every time you need to do something complicated in the terminal. Sometimes I ask it what to do when I know what the command is because writing it is a hassle: journalctl -b -2 -p err --since "2026-05-28 14:00:00" --until "2026-05-28 16:00:00"

@Lainezor @inkblotPrincess There is literally no good reason to wait except being required to use windows at work. I didn't stay on windows for fuckass fortnite and COD. Linux is easier to use than windows too, like WAY easier after you internalize the idea of terminal

we're about to see the worst announcement of all time

@strollbrows @DrInsensitive The hubris and the robust safety culture were one and the same. "We're NASA, we don't make mistakes" led directly to the mistakes.

@DrInsensitive The problem is hubris and safety is usually the first thing to go. I'm sure the problem was too many safety warnings. You absolutely goofy goober.

This seems relevant again. For non-nerds, Blue Origin took NASA's design approach, careful (and slow) design, with extensive reviews, to produce a rocket that works the first time with no embarrassing explosions. It just exploded and destroyed their only launchpad. The SpaceX approach is, "Build a prototype, smash it on the concrete until it breaks, then reinforce the part that broke and do it again." In my opinion, 20 iterations of the SpaceX approach might produce a design that can reasonably be called "robust." The NASA approach never did. Let's hope Blue Origin has better luck.

@DetWha @DoingFedTime @WANGHAFlol That's a fair argument, but confiscating someone's property on a hunch that it might be illegal isn't the right way to go about it.

Cops are generally well-versed on the laws that come up in the course of daily duty (traffic, domestic and violence). Outside of that, they need to refer to specialistsor look things up. This is less of a complaint aimed at cops and more at the governments who think they can legislate every aspect of human behavior.

🧵 Story: I got arrested with a 3D printed gun. (The one on the right) I had a warrant. I completely forgot about a ticket, missed court, they put out a warrant for my arrest. A cop runs my plate, sees I have a warrant, pulls me over. In the process of arresting me he has to search my car as well. He finds the pistol that I told him was in my center console. At this point I’m in the back of his car. He’s walking around, making calls, taking pictures of it. I know what he’s doing. It doesn’t have a serial number. He finally asks me where the serial number is. I tell him it’s a PMF. He looks even more confused. I explain as well as I can. I made the gun. It’s 3D printed. It’s legal. In 12 of 50 states I could be in trouble. Not this one. He tells me his sergeant is in contact with the ATF at this point. He believes me but he has to double check. My car gets towed, he takes the gun into evidence, I bond out.

@Headqarters_69 @JoeConchaTV There are no 'convictions' in civil court. A witness's prior perjury is material impeachment evidence.

@JoeConchaTV Is that fact material to the conviction? I mean I don’t give a shit if you prosecute for perjury (we need to actually start doing that in this country), but would that change the outcome of the other case?

Barb - serious question… If she said under oath that her suit wasn’t funded by any outside sources… And it turns out it was funded to the tune of $7 million… how is that not perjury?

@coldcallsniper It's the world's oldest profession for a reason. Dudes be willing to spend for that.

A few weeks ago, my co-worker (fat) told me he was depressed because he was having trouble meeting women. I suggested he download Hinge. I hadn’t seen him in a while because he was on vacation, and then I was on vacation after that. Today I saw him getting coffee and asked how it’s been going. He said he’s been on 18 dates in 3 weeks. I thought he was lying, but then he showed me his phone. He wasn’t lying he had 31 matches. Every single one of them was fat and ugly, but he had 31 matches. I wasn’t gonna say anything about that, but then he said: “Listen man, I know they aren’t models, but neither am I. These girls need sex too.” At first I thought, wow, that’s gross. But then I was like, I gotta tip my cap dude knows his role and is taking full advantage of it. The only thing I just thought about is: 18 dates with fat chicks? How much money did this dude spend over the last three weeks? Lmao

@exponential_dan @theo Are you a Brit? 'i dont want an 'elpful assistant, 'e should be tauxic an tell me my requiyaments ah shoite an just do it bettah' Sorry, it was one misplaced n that made me do it.

@theo i dont want an helpful assistant, he should be toxic and tell me my requirements are shit and just do it better🥲

You don't hate SWE-Bench enough. This is the actual prompt they use for every single test.

@goulon @MattWalshBlog The undisciplined dog is in its final form. It is as disruptive as it will ever be. The undisciplined child will be released into the wild and will raise their own undisciplined children who will also be a menace to civilized society.

Dogs are animated objects. Kids are people. Funny how the people who hate children are always the loudest demanding parents treat their own kids like pets. Dogs can be nice. But they belong on a leash, under control. Civilized society doesn’t need to bend over backward for them in public.

No it's not. Your dog smells, eats his own shit, and barks. Your dog has no fundamental right to participate in society at all. Children do.

@Cor_America1776 @iluv4dogs @ClownWorld Could be a CIA assassination attempt or extraterrestrial aliens. Maybe they're filming a movie of an alien attempting to kill a CIA agent.

@iluv4dogs @ClownWorld Also true. But just throwing out there that there could be legitimate reasons for that sort of thing.

@arnoblalam @NielsHoven "Rather than" implies a binary choice that necessarily restricts learning for outliers on both tails of the curve. That's the part that suggests that we should prevents kids from learning. Tailoring a system that doesn't select outliers helps 60% at the expense of the 40%.

@NielsHoven Also, nothing in my original post suggested that we should prevent kids from learning? I suggested that education should teach a broad segment of the population basic skills (literacy, critical thinking, etc.) rather than just identify the “superstars”.

Creating a bigger gap between the top and bottom SHOULD be the goal of the education system More motivated kids who learn faster SHOULD be progressing faster than kids with less motivation who learn more slowly Shrinking gaps is a sign of bad teaching. Respect the diversity of students' abilities.

@CharlieDragen @reddit_lies There's a difference between "powerful" and "strong". This is not a strong man, it's a weak man who lost his power.

@reddit_lies That's a bully. Not a "strong man."

"Can anyone think of an example of a powerful man turning into a coward when their powers are removed?" Yeah, when a Reddit mod is stripped of their power, like this one:

@EduQuinn @ajjuliani What happens if they learn what they were supposed to learn? Unless it's a writing class, writing isn't the goal; it's the means to achieve the goal.

@ajjuliani I appreciate the philosophy behind the approach. I wonder what happens if the student has read the paper well-enough to understand the content. Is the quiz still meeting its objective?

Student turns in a paper. Send it to AI, generate a 5 question quiz on the content. Student takes the quiz next day on their own paper. If they wrote it, easy. If they didn't, obvious. No detection software. No accusations. Just quiet accountability.

@jahirsheikh8 I'd jump on X and social engineer my way to the solution.

**Officer Markenley Belotte resigned from College Park PD in August 2025 in lieu of termination.** Records show he reapplied to Atlanta PD shortly after resigning (they had rejected him in 2022 for dishonesty on his application). No public info confirms he was hired by Atlanta PD or any other department afterward.

@GunnerManAFC @benedictthemad @MeliodasSympath @layxsnv The added context doesn't help you one bit. Admitting that your worldview isn't THE worldview while explaining why your false statements are correct is stupid and wrong.

Ugh one more time for those in the back. A professional writer is exactly the type of person AI would train itself on and decide the standard from. I did not say it created the grammar or formatting. The masses are not professional writers. - AI corrects flawed writing. - Human learns. - Human changes the way they write. - Wider consciousness cements the standard. To add further context I have learned that American-English and British-English handle the Oxford comma differently.

Okay, where are the English scholars, which one?

@adamgordonbell @itseieio UUIDv7 solves that incredibly rare collision.

@itseieio This is from this thread btw. So collisions can happen.

I kinda hope this is a true story.

@realTimmB @3D_Orville Should have read before responding. Offer letter, then move, then NDA.

Well….it’s all anout the negotiation before you sign on the dotted line. Should of read before signing. Then asked for a 5 year parachute should your employment terminate - it would have shown you dig into the detail. Correct me if I’m wrong, you are basically in the land of having to mix chemicals to create specific additives - that’s detailed work.

A potential new job wants me to sign an agreement that says I cannot work for another additive manufacturing company within 5 years of leaving them. Is this unreasonable, or just new to me? It feels unreasonable. This is my trade, if they terminate me, I SOL???

@DC_Draino @mjfree The ratio has spoken. The message is loud and clear.

@mjfree Nope.

CONFICSATE ALL GUNS. POSSESSION = LIFE SENTENCE BUYBACK = 5K per gun non taxable.

@no_more_liesZA @FightWithMemes People with "big salaries" don't "cover a shift".

@FightWithMemes Whether normal or legal, it was a non verbal instruction in my job for a very, very long time. Don't bitch about big salaries if you don't want to be available. You get pd for availability, for clearing up messes & for taking risk.

Is this illegal? It seems illegal. 🤔
