Thanks for pointing this out.
I'm definitely labelling this account as a "Likely chatGPT Bot" after glancing through that history.

This reminded me of that video when the covid lockdown caused the air to be so much cleaner that a mountain range could be seen from ~200km away:

This has got to be my biggest pet peeve among most news organizations. Most links on their articles just go back to an older page on their own website instead of pointing at the actual source.

I would imagine you would also want to avoid getting on their list if you ever wanted to travel to there as a tourist.

Except that Hunter Biden wasn't convicted/pardoned for anything related to this.

Jurors found Hunter Biden guilty of lying to a federally licensed gun dealer, making a false claim on the application by saying he was not a drug user and illegally having the gun for 11 days.

It sounds like the tech support agent was trying to get him to do just that on his phone... But I haven't used Waymo before, so I'm not certain about that.

China has enough air pollution that the smog from Los Angeles blows over from there

I think you meant to say:
"China has enough air pollution that the smog from there blows over to Los Angeles"

Anything I could do to make sure my heir continued on with my vision would not be guarunteed, and it would only be temporary. As the saying goes, you're putting all of your eggs in one basket, from one ruler to the next.

A more permanent solution would be to overhaul the current system and setup checks and balances so that no one person could have too much power.

You could divide up power between an Executive Branch, a Legislative Branch, and a Judicial Branch. Then you put in place like-minded groups of people in each of those branches and voilà.

Taking a look at the recent modlog, as well as other comments around here, it looks like they're trying to find the right balance for what's okay and what has crossed the line.

There are an alarming number of comments that are actively encouraging murder and the amount of upvotes that even the worst of those comments receive is sickening.

I think, at this point, anything the health insurance companies do that actually looks good, will make us jump to that conclusion.

This isn't a trolley problem. Killing CEOs is not going to save any more lives or "fix the system" in any way.

There's no guarantee that the new CEO will be better or worse, and if they feel threatened enough they'll just hire security.

Doesn’t sound like much more than acknowledging the process and signing the form by the judge. Is that art?

Judging by the picture in the article, the judge wasn't just a passive participant who was standing nearby and watching, or sitting in an office and signing a document.

Depends on where you live. There's a very similar case in Germany from 2 years ago compared to what's going on now.

In Germany a cop was murdered and someone posted on Facebook: "Not a single second of silence for these creatures."

The courts have ruled that even "liking" a comment/post like that could be a crime.

The other post had it just as bad if not worse before it was removed entirely.

I tried to bring up the point that a system where we kill CEOs because we don't like their business practices isn't going to fix anything and the downvotes immediately poured in.

Either this is just the way that a lot of people on Lemmy think, or there's some concerted effort/psyop trying to stir discontent among the users here.

For a bit there I was doubting if I even wanted to be associated with Lemmy anymore, but at least it looks like the mods have been cleaning up the worst comments.

I'm speaking in general terms here for any corporation which is why I commented in the way that I did. You're the one escalating this to an extreme and retroactively applying that to my comment.

Calling for someone else to be killed for any reason is just revenge, it doesn't solve anything. If any CEO is responsible for the death of a spouse/kid then throw them in prison.

Literal mob mentality? I'm not the one calling for a lynching here.

Someone will always be upset about something.

Stooping so low to kill someone just because you're dissatisfied with the way they handle business doesn't fix anything. Continually killing CEOs is not going to "train the system" to be better.

In a world like that, you would just have extremists on different sides killing CEOs for whatever reason they felt like.

That's not what I'm saying or implying in any way.

Killing someone isn't going to fix anything. Someone else will just step up and take their place.

Coyote vs Acme

The movie is already completely finished, but some "genius" thinks that they'll make more money by shelving it and claiming it for a tax-writeoff.

No... A closer comparison shows that she would be like Sam Bankman-Fried with a 25 year sentence and ordered to repay $11 billion. Although she probably would end up on a cover of Forbes.
