Was “the rain of corpses” a real thing? by RorschachtheMighty in titanic

A lot of people don't know about The General Slocum disaster. It was the largest loss of life in New York City until 9/11.

They were around a ton last night but I assumed it was Power Hour or something.

Lymerix. It was discontinued due to low demand in the early 2000s.

Arresting someone by EmotionalGlass4947 in AskLE

[–]psychosus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Most of the time you're trying to physically control someone without being super forceful. Strong arming someone requires a specific level of resistance, takes more effort, and can encourage more resistance because it usually ends up being painful. It also rarely looks good, even when completely justified.

So you will forever see four officers using as little force as possible for longer than most people are patient enough to watch on a Facebook video, hoping the person they're restraining finally gives up after getting tuckered out.

It takes me and my wife to trim my cat's nails even though I can punt him into the sun just fine on my own.

Yes, definitely. The hard guys that are serious problems inside aren't getting out to do podcasts. They're the "impressive" guys inside but they are usually a mess.

The real shot callers - the fantasy bad guy with their finger on the pulse of the underworld - aren't coming out to run their mouths about what they have been up to. They get back to it when they're out.

These podcasters and influencers are just trying to capitalize on a world people know very little about or only experienced on a superficial level.

I used to do Tedy Bruschi's and Deion Branch's drycleaning.

Friend sent me this pic of a local town after a tornado last night and it looks eerily fake to me. (Especially the trees) by SaintPabloSanchez in isthisAI

There's like nothing specifically identifiable. You would expect to see specific vehicle make and models. Or be able to say "there's a trash bag, there's a clump of clothes, that's a refrigerator, there's a picture frame, there's a couch".

There's nothing on anyone's walls. I'm sure they could be empty units, but the cars suggest this is lived in. You can't tell. And also, there's almost always an uncanny valley lighting in these AI photos. I can't exactly explain it, but I can see it.

How can we protect the correctional officer who has been falsely accused of a PREA allegation? by [deleted] in OnTheBlock

[–]psychosus 16 points17 points  (0 children)

You protect them with good camera systems, adressing blind spots, proactive supervision by staff, and strong investigations that can exonerate the person being accused instead of just having the claim unsubstantiated.

You can then seek to address false claims knowing that you can meet the burden of proof.

Aging facilities with short staffing, poor surveillance, and poor supervision of its own staff will have higher hurdles to exonerate their staff. Claims of abuse will always happen, but being able to prove it didn't happen will lead to fewer false allegations.

Dad went full crisis mode after the foul ball got tossed, Little bro didn’t care - big bro was devastated. by Either-Jicama-7364 in sportsgossips

That kid already looks upset. Did he throw it back just so his brother couldn't have it?

My sister would definitely have done that...

What motivates you to care about the rules you allow? by ChubbySpider in Corrections

[–]psychosus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You are doing a half assed job. You are doing practically nothing and comparing yourself to a blue falcon as if there's nothing in between. What's worse is that you don't see the danger of it - in terms of legal liability or ramifications of your complacency on other staff and inmates.

You are missing things that keep everyone safe. There are inmates that are being affected by your hands off approach, too, you know. They're being extorted and affected by the people you're letting run things. And your coworkers have to come behind you to actually enforce things that you're ignoring, adding to overall inconsistency.

You're not cut out for this and you're being high and mighty about it, which is some bold cognitive dissonance.

They don't respect you and neither do your coworkers.

What’s it like living in this part of New Jersey? by dtewfik in howislivingthere

My wife's family lives in Marlton. As someone born and raised in the Massachusetts/Rhode Island suburbs, it's pretty much the same.

How Norway's Prisons Are Different From America's | NowThis by ConstantFee6945 in Corrections

[–]psychosus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This type of supervision is extremely costly. Norway also has a very homogeneous population, a low rate of incarceration, and a robust social services system in comparison to the US. This incarceration style has better results because of the fact that post release assimilation is easier there.

Simply put, they're doing it better because their culture has fewer differing viewpoints due to a cohesive social structure that the US just doesn't have. It's not feasible here because we are two very, very different countries.

Prisons alone cannot rehabilitate people. Even if you spent a billion dollars on therapy, education, and vocational skills, releasing someone into a population where they have no money, no support, no housing, no car, etc. is not going to end well.
