  • Sure it, doesn't, neither does the weather but it still tends to function based reliably predictable criteria. I'm describing the baseline definition because OP asked about whether or not it counts. Judges decide, and generally err based on constituent parts of the scenario qualify for established legal definitions.

  • By legal standards, it's my understanding that any unlawful release from custody is a "jail break" regardless of the conditions of incarceration. Unjust detainment is a kind of legal threshold intended to assign a determination of legality to any scenario where anyone is taken into custody by state officials or law enforcement, not someone's opinion of whether or not it's fair.

  • Holy shit, this meme is so old that I have a copy saved on an old office PC I haven't used in like two decades... Save goes for Mandarin Sultan posted by u/saltnotsugar

  • Interesting, thanks for the explanation. I have yet to see any Mastadon content on here, or visa versa, but I'm still just dipping my toe into Lemmy without the tech know-how.

  • TIL that Lemmy and Mastadon are linked? I stopped using Mastadon because there was fuck-all being posted, except by the news outlets that I followed, and even tags corresponding to massive fanbases sometimes had fewer than a dozen entries...

  • If any person(s) in particular is directly responsible for this, I'd really appreciate it if you could sack all of the credit agencies, not just Equifax.

  • Well, I'll be damned. Straight from the horse's mouth, it really does taste like crap. That's wild, maybe it's stuffed with vitamins and minerals... someone ages ago had the idea to cram those fish eggs into their craw, so I guess it was one of those meals of necessity? If that's the case, I'll be damned if I can figure out why someone would luxuriate crummy eggs on crackers.

  • I'm still holding my judgement on caviar. I assume there's a reason that it's so popular, and not just because it's expensive, which is to say that I think the people shelling out to eat it wouldn't do so if it tasted like fish ass.

  • No one who's seen riot pigs in action could be fooled into believing that these incidents are accidental. The bastards absolutely did it on purpose to amuse themselves, they literally laugh while wounding civilians, press or not.

  • Wow, that's a pretty insane reaction, why would they say something like th- Oh, I see, they say shit like that all the time and almost no one calls them out on it? They'd kill her with impunity if she were even slightly darker-skinned, and will brook no interference with their ethnic cleansing? It's a good thing that the ICC is at least reining them in befo- oh, they've also been largely impotent to stop the bloodbath from flying off the rails?

  • Well, this is disappointing. I couldn't find the footage I'd watched of COs murdering Messiah Nantwi, but it's worse than I thought - his death via similar means in a NY prison isn't the only one to have been reported on recently. Turns out the one that I was thinking of was actually Robert Brooks, who was recently beaten to death in a prison infirmary: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pHbOuG9c6g8&rco=1

  • Calling it now. Ms. Thunberg will be subjected to 'administrative detention' while her comrades will get the motherfucking brakes beat off of them. As much as the IDF has shown a propensity for flouting international laws, I'm not convinced that they're willing to risk murdering someone so famous as her. She's daring them to let her throw herself on the sword, in a sense.

  • The video of the incident, accidentally recorded by a member of the corrections staff on bodycam, is stark. I'll encourage anyone commenting to watch it first, it's bad, like Kelly Thomas bad.

  • Hell yes, cicadas!

  • My pleasure, thanks for the quick edit.
