As a 90s, my watch order was basically whatever I could catch.

I managed to watch all of Justice League and Unlimited in order later in my life, but remember that streaming wasn't invented yet and DVD rentals of episodes was extremely niche (not a thing Blockbuster would keep on hand). You pretty much just saw whatever came on, often reruns of the same episodes.

The shows were designed with this format, an ill defined watch order.

People change.

Never burn the bridge. If she's changed this much she can and will change again. Hopefully for the better next time.

But don't expect anything good from her in the near future or even medium term. These kinds of changes can take decades+ to occur. Maybe in the best case she will be a better person 2 years from now.

If there are that many mistakes here, then it's likely malicious compliance. Someone was ordered to edit, so they edited in the most obvious manner possible.

This is quite ridiculous how shoddy of a job this was.

They already did.

There's that 'Raw Edit' video that is missing over a minute of footage because they forgot to edit out the timestamps.

I point out that in the USA, a dude can literally shoot an unarmed teenager with skittles in their pocket (likely 2nd degree murder or worse) and a Jury of his Peers will acquit him.

What the fuck in the George Zimmerman are you talking about? Did you fall asleep through the entirety of Black Lives Matters?

Wtf?

• Premeditated Intent: Murder
• Intent without premeditation. Heat of the moment: 2nd degree Murder
• Doing something you weren't supposed to and killing someone: involuntary homicide
• Failing to do something you were supposed to and killing someone: negligent manslaughter.

Who made this meme (and topic) and why is everyone so ignorant of the law? This almost certainly is vehicular manslaughter case or... If it can be suggested that it's the pedestrian maybe was partially at fault it might be negligent manslaughter (ex: failed to stop when someone jumped out).

A bit of a high level beginner friendly overview. Useful for people getting into the hobby!

Power engineering is a Masters level subject however, so don't get ahead of yourself. Studying up the difference of GaN vs SiC vs TrenchFET or whatever new tech is always work. It's always hard to keep up with technology.

Unfortunately, this is not the appropriate place for a discussion.

BestOfLemmy aims to highlight good arguments / discussions / topics from across Lemmy. I don't have the abilities to really do a fair and just debate here.

Why would an American tech millionaire believe in the power of money and become subservient to a Billionaire?

I dunno. Good question.

I was an active subscriber who regularly read WashPo.

Ruth Marcus, Alexandra Petri and a whole slew of other liberals have left the post after the 2024 election and various tampering by Jeff Bezos. Or have you not noticed the change of writers yourself??

The ones who remained are hardly NeoLiberal, but overall have shifted farther and farther right. Jeff Bezos killing a few key OpEds have made it clear to the liberals that they are no longer welcome at the Washington Post.

Or what? You gonna try to convince me that Hugh Hewitt is a liberal or some shit?

You youngsters will blame the next generation as well. You just aren't old enough to see the pattern yet.

Washington Post is Murdoch connected as of December 2023 (new leader and Bezos began to flex his muscles at the paper). I hesitate to call it neoliberal. It's moved right of that.

What’s that one dude who wore the hoodie and had the stroke and then turned out to be fucking insane? My guess is the stroke wasn’t what made him a republican.

His staffers were literally crying and large numbers of reports are that he is a changed man after the stroke. Its uncommon, but it happens. Brain damage can result in personality shifts.

He's some Pennsylvania Politician, I forget his name but maybe a Senator.

Anyone who possesses the kind of money that they possess, even Yang, are only in it for themselves and their cronies.

Well yes. But that's traditional American Politics and its been like that for a long time. People prefer the devil they know (money / greed) rather than other vices.

If anything, being openly greedy makes people more comfortable with the personality.

Now AI can sort through the hours of traffick camera footage

No it can't, not without major hallucinations and/or basic errors (ex: Black People tend to be misidentified).

That's the big thing about this AI push, it's subtle mistakes are fucking people over right now. If AI actually worked reliably that's another thing. But right now, people are mostly pretending that AI works and/or ignorant of its flaws.

I'm not on YangGang and I never liked that guy.

But it's clear that this new party is Elon Money + Andrew Yang right now. This is somewhat worrying as Yang was a Democrat (albeit one that couldn't win any primary and never reached critical mass, but a Democrat nonetheless). So there's political power here that we need to consider as part of the equation

It gives Elon political cover and makes him look independent and looking like he's splitting the Democrats. So we can't fall for it but people out there will fall for it.

Elon Musk can't start shit.

The only successes Musk has are when he buys out a leadership position, like Tesla (sued in court to become an official founder).

Andrew Yang is the one to keep an eye out here. Musk has the money but I'm expecting Yang to do the heavy lifting.

I spent $5 dollars cash buying a hotdog from the Street Vendor last night during the fireworks. Was this written down somewhere or otherwise can this be traced back to me?

And yeah, street vendors raise prices around festivals lol. But I needed a snack so I paid up.

Hopefully next time Democrats can give a better strategy than pretending that immigrants stand together.

Ex: Kamala is Indian and Black. Guess who is coming from a deeply segregated country where they believe certain castes to be racially superior to other castes?

You ain't gonna get kumbaya togetherness as a message and get the Indian vote. You'll be seen as naive.

Democrats are shit at understanding politics or how groups think. Republicans have outplayed you on this political point and it's why the racial politics are more 50/50 than you expect.

Okay, three days since this warning. Closing topic now.
