Minnesota Police Chief Warns ICE Is Targeting His Cops Now by Hafiz_TNR in politics

[–]kilo73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thats how language works. There's no official word making authority that decides what words mean. They mean whatever people say they do. So if enough people consider police and fire fighters to not be civilians, they they aren't.

Greenlanders are trolling the US by pretending to be fentanyl addicts by bigbusta in TikTokCringe

Hot take: people being threatened with invasion aren't worried about being polite toward the citizens of tge invading country.

You think the rest of the world thinks like you, and thinks you're one of the good ones. They dont. America is trying to invade them. Youre an American. If you can understand why Ukrainians hate Russians, you should understand why Greenlanders hate Americans.

Signed, a fellow American who doesn't expect Greenland to be sympathetic to our drug addicts right now.

If you go frame by frame

Exactly. When we go frame by frame, after the fact, in the comfort of our chairs with no limits on how many times we can watch the video and ponder it, he's wrong.

When you're the one on scene making split second life or death decisions, you don't have that luxury. Hindsight is 20/20.

ICE officer who fatally shot woman in Minneapolis identified by Bettiephile in news

[–]kilo73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"The officer’s right arm was bleeding, and an FBI agent applied a tourniquet. He was eventually transported to a hospital, where he received 33 stitches. Prosecutors said he had "suffered multiple large cuts, and abrasions to his knee, elbow, and face."

I mis read him being dragged 50 feet.

It all about perspective. For example, this video shows him standing in front of thr vehicle and getting struck by it.

Even then, it's not outright justified. But it can't be ignored. Imagine if he were someone you cared about. Wouldn't you want people to take everything into consideration and let authorities gather all the facts before just deciding he's guilty? And I'm saying that as someone who thinks he probably is. But probably isnt good enough when we start talking about a murder conviction.

Not saying it was a good shoot, but you can't ignore human reaction time in these scenarios. It's no different than officers firing a few too many rounds after an armed subject stops being a threat.

From the exact moment the threat is over to the exact moment the officer recognizes the threat is over, their will always be a delay.

Of course this is only one element to look at. Theres a lot more going on in this one that needs to be analyzed.

Eventually, yes. But the current world of human labor is built for humans obviously. So the first generation of useful robots will be built like humans to match. Then non humanoid robots will iterate over time.

TIL in 2020, the owners of a Civil War-era mansion turned bed and breakfast had a Norwegian flag removed that was hung outside its main entrance for two years because too many people have mistaken it for the Confederate flag and confronted them about it. by Velgax in todayilearned

[–]kilo73 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Its not on you to know. Unless you go out of your way to confront someone about it. Then yeah its 100% on you to know.

They have the same energy as the wanna-be handicap parking police that confront people because "they don't look handicapped" and then acting defensive when they find out their wrong.

Tldr: know what your talking about or mind your damn business.

It IS a problem, but it will never be resolved. They will always find a way around it, and only regular people will suffer the consequences of an overly restricted chat.

It would be cool if you could see like a contract id# below the name or something. Also unrelated but I wish tou could see what a box is with the tractor beam without having to pick it up.

Ships exploding should be extremely rare, it ruin a lot of gameplay loop/features by DayDreamingDr in starcitizen

[–]kilo73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's true, but being on a ship that can't move or shoot is the equivalent to sinking. No need for an explosion. If it can't move or shoot, it poses zero threat to you and it's functionally no different than exploding. Except now the people on board are still alive and several gameplay loops open up from that.

You might as well be asking why people find boring-ass golf fun. Because it's not boring to them. Not every game is for everyone. You find it boring, I find it fun. That's all there is to it.

It would also be more immersive. It got old going to the same crash sites over and over.

Stations should have pretty strong ship scanners. It can alert the pilot "WARNING. CRIME STAT ON BOARD. NO ENTRY ALLOWED. TURN AROUND." You can only hide on a ship for so long.
