  • Is there a good Go community on Lemmy?

    /r/baduk is definitely one of the old subreddits I do miss.

  • But she didn't hire him on her own dime. She used her position as DA to have the DA's office hire him to try the case.

    You are absolutely not allowed to hire from a pool of people you know on the government's dime. If the Department of Energy puts out a contract to build a power plant, the guy in charge of who gets hired has to disclose any conflict of interest, and is 1000% not allowed to award that work to a friend without oversight.

    And if they did, and that friend then started giving them expensive gifts, that's a huge huge no no.

    And while you're right that she does claim that they split the cost of the vacations, she claims that she reimbursed him for her half in cash, and has no receipts to that affect. Which could very well be true, but you must admit looks terrible.

  • Are you calling for the dissolution of inheritance, or am I missing your meaning?

  • It isn't that it affects the trial per se, but it looks like corruption, right?

    I use my government position to hire my private practice lover for a high profile case, and then they treat me to several expensive vacations?

    It's not that it points to something fishy with the case directly, but when the DA is involved in obvious corruption, I can see bringing it up if your only defense is "this trial is part of a corrupt bid to keep me off the ballot."

    It's not, but holy cow does it add fuel to that fire if you are in fact engaged in obvious corruption elsewhere.

  • That DA is making some decisions.

  • Does this image feel super anti-Semitic to anyone else, or is it just me?

  • In the Bibles defense, it didn't just rain:

    11 In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, in the second month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on that day all the fountains of the great deep burst open, and the floodgates of the sky were opened. Genesis 7:11

    So, like, most of the water probably came from underground, not from the rain. Though I'd imagine both were pretty bad.

    Not saying the story is true or anything. Just pointing out the straw man, since the Bible doesn't claim all the water was from rain.

  • I'll mention Fez since I think people forgot about it in the wake of all the Phil Phish drama.

    Excellent game that I think fits this bill.

  • I was just about to say, isn't this just OpenStack?

    I don't even think OpenStack is needlessly complicated.Yes, it is complicated, but who thinks operating a cloud environment the equivalent of AWS is trivial?

  • Sceptre makes modern, affordable dumb TVs.

  • He's not saying it was pushing prices. He was saying it was potentially a big driver of the OP headline.

    Yes, prices are going up, but a potential big factor in the increase of spending on food could be associated delivery costs.

    They are likely considered part of "money spent on food" as calculated by the study, and have been a much more prevalent thing since the pandemic.

  • I mean, even if you're against bank's utilizing funds deposited to give out loans, I think they still have an obvious core function.

    I'd much rather have a secure facility to keep my money, rather than, like, under my mattress, right? If for no ther reason than it means I'm not broke if my house burns down.

  • Looks like the pin is on the lapel of the guy behind him, tbf.

  • My usual is: Can't stop, won't stop!

  • I wonder what he's a developer for?

  • While that's true, I feel like sometimes people take it to the opposite extreme.

    Life isn't just wholly random and you have absolutely no agency in whether you are successful or not.

    While it's true there are homeless people who used to be successful or who have advanced degrees, it's a huge minority.

    And while you can do "everything right" and still fail, you're wildly more likely to succeed than the person who did "everything wrong."

    Is there always a chance of catastrophic failure? Sure. But you do have agency over your life, and can in fact exert heavy influence over your outcomes.

  • What clear rule did she violate though? Like, Grammerly isn't an AI tool. It's a glorified spell check. And several of her previous professors had recommended it's use.

    What she did "wrong" was write something that TurnItIn decided to flag as AI generated, which it's incredibly far from 100% accurate at.

    Like, what should she have done differently?

  • Corn rows aren't inherently wrong. Tons of people have short corn rows.

    And while I see your point, I think it hinges on the wording of the CROWN Act.

    If the rule doesn't target a hair style or type, and is applied even handedly across all hair styles and types, I think it's probably okay?

    Like, there are plenty of men's hairstyles that are more "white coded" that would certainly also be disallowed under the current rules.

    I'd be curious what the actual rule was from the school as well. I know the school I went to growing up, it had to be above the bottom of your ear lobe.

    Dumb, but not inherently racial I think?

  • You are technically correct. The best kind of correct. :)

    I was using "The War in Iraq" as a cover term for the whole ongoing conflict that arose in the aftermath of 9/11.

    I think that your point actually furthers my parallel though. As the US was in Afghanistan, the Bush Administration's obsession with Iraq ended up with them pushing questionable Intel that there were Al Queda controlled WMDs in Iraq, and that we had to invade there as well if we really wanted to win the war.

    There's a pretty clear parallel between that logic and the "Hamas Tunnels" arguments we're hearing out of Israel at the moment.
