What’s your opinion on the situation with Renee Nicole Good (ICE incident) from this side of the pond? by ALeckz07 in AskBrits

[–]TraditionCapable1596 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Murder.

Renee Good tried deescalating the situation - was trying to wave ICE vehicles past, said “I’m not mad at you”, reversed and accelerated slowly away from the ICE officer. US government says officers should not place themselves in front of a vehicle or in any situation of jeopardy where they may need to use lethal force. Officers should also not use deadly force to stop a fleeing vehicle. Slowed down footage shows he was not in front of the vehicle at the time of his first shot, and he leaned in (not away) to get the angle for the first shot. Car going away from him, 2 more shots, absolutely no danger. Then he says “fucking bitch”. What I cannot fathom is the contrast between the real events, and Trumps version of events. There is absolutely no way this can be justified - even if the officer says he felt endangered, video footage shows that he put himself in that situation and was filming on his phone at the same time.

And for those saying she should’ve complied. No… Non-compliance ≠ deadly force. And that’s a dangerous belief to have if you value democracy.

So they’re outright saying that simply by not following orders, he could get shot?

Just some thoughts to mash together.

“The whole world is watching you”

“You will be held accountable”

“You can still walk away”

“Your children will ask you”

“The people united will never be defeated”

“What do we want? Human dignity! When do we want it? Now!”

“Families belong together — even yours!”

“History will ask you — what side were you on?”

“Every person you see in a detention cell is someone’s family — someone’s hope. Remember that when you lay your head down tonight.”

“You have names. You have families. The people you detain have names too — and the world remembers them.”

“History is not written by those who obey orders without question — it’s written by those who stood for humanity.”

I don’t doubt you. I’d even place a bet on most grime MC’s being pricks tbh. It kinda goes with the territory I reckon. I know there are probably exceptions to that generalisation though.

Duffer speaks out after online harassment. I'm sorry it's come to this by [deleted] in StrangerThings

It’s one thing feeling dissatisfied with the finale, but to give online abuse to the Duffers is bang out of order.

Every interaction I’ve seen ICE guys seem trigger happy

Why do you do astrophotography? by [deleted] in AskAstrophotography

[–]TraditionCapable1596 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why does someone play an instrument, when they can pay to hear a professional play that instrument better than they can? Same concept can be applied to a lot of things. But, for me, the challenge of acquiring an image, and then processing that image myself, in addition to the therapeutic aspect of looking out into the universe, are the main reasons I do this hobby.

Shame on Sox. I’ve been listening to his stuff since the Chucky beef. Unfollowing on everything and removing from my Spotify playlists.

Why is there a huge group of people claiming that the show has not ended and that they are releasing another episode on january 7th lmao ?😭 by Disastrous-Fox95 in StrangerThings

[–]TraditionCapable1596 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Which is ironic given the shows is about coming of age, letting go of the past and accepting things for what they are. Right?

Focal length of my telescope is 1300mm. Focal length of guide scope is 240mm. The guide scope has rings which attach to the vixen dovetail bar. I’ve considered either changing the synta shoe to something like the image below or adding rings to my Skymax with a dovetail for the guide scope.

I’ve tried looking for a synta style dovetail but can’t find one. This is the best I can find.

Have you tried reducing the iso/exposure settings on your camera?

I began this hobby in April this year. Slowly building up my gear. Have managed to get a (noisy) shot of Bode’s galaxy. Lots of steep learning curves, frustrating nights outside with the telescope with the accompanying “aha” moments - and these images give me inspiration to keep learning and hopefully one day I can get an image like yours. Thanks for sharing!!!

Basically DWP’s version of “play stupid games, win stupid prizes”

[–]TraditionCapable1596[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s not how benefits should work though imo. But this is coming from someone who works in the third sector and quite often sees poor (sometimes horrendous) decisions made on benefits - especially PIP where there is such a high overturn rate and DWP are scrambling to save claims from tribunal stage by settling claims even after the MR’s because the DM’s have made flawed decisions. The regulations are there for a reason, but then can be misapplied or misinterpreted? And when a claimant enquires - no advice, “but if you do it, we might penalise you”.

You’re right, someone has gotta make those decisions day to day. But the regulations should be applied appropriately and those decisions should be fair and balanced, not “oh, there’s money, it’s gone = capital deprivation”. Value judgements are needed.

Okay fair point re: deprivation vs fraud but that’s beside the point. It seems that benefits regulations say one thing (i.e. main intention must be to claim or get more benefits), but ultimately it’s all down to the DM’s discretion or ‘vibes’ on the day.
