All prosecution is selective. Parents do get prosecuted for the death of their children. People get arrested for participating in peaceful protests while neonazis march in the streets. People speed past cops as they're pulling someone else over. Unless you want to live in a world where a cop watches your every move and locks you away without trial, it's impossible to prosecute every single crime that happens.

That's just taking the comparison in bad faith. It's not about net worth, it's about their power and responsibility. Who's at fault for Boeing's planes failing? The execs cutting corners to maximize profits or the minimum wage employees just doing what they're told?

One of the most refreshing things I've seen since joining Lemmy is people actually apologizing in comment threads like this.

Idk, I kinda get it, adjectives are just descriptors. In Spanish, you can drop the end of the sentence and still get its meaning. You don't pet the brown, you pet the dog.

Whoever decided to use the comma as the decimal point definitely consumed too much micro plastic.

I imagine it's a bit like salt. On its own or in a liquid, it's pretty invisible. But put enough of it in one place and you'll be able to see it

In my experience, that's what tends to happen with a dirty port/cable. Cleaning it out solves the problem 99% of the time.

I still keep a micro USB to USB-C adapter on my keys. I've been thinking of getting one that's reverse too.

I was gonna mention that. The Switch is first and foremost a handheld device. You'd get no benefit from squeezing 4k onto a 7" display. The only thing it would do is decrease the battery life, which would be made even worse with a more powerful GPU.

We didn't need a legal expert to tell us that, the dissenting justices already did.

The relationship between the President and the people he serves has shifted irrevocably. In every use of official power, the President is now a king above the law.

Literally sounds like a teenage boy who spent too much time on 4chan

But you don't need 4k resolution to have a great game. That's what OP is getting at. When making a game for beefier hardware, you can use the better graphics as a crutch instead of focusing on better gameplay and story.

Yeah, for sure. As frustrating as it may be, I'm always understanding with the support agent. They're just doing their job, it's not their fault there's a procedure they need to follow.

Lol wait, I've had to do that too. I think it was for a dead pixel.

I hate to admit it, but that's me. Speeding down country backroads late at night is some of the most fun I've had, especially in my area where they're really hilly and twisty.

Also, a lot of private schools are very religious because they don't have to adhere to any separation of church and state. Get rid of public schools and you no longer have to use loopholes to indoctrinate children.

It's giving Bojack Horseman.

Our main story: ominous and anomalous accusations against Hank Hippopopalous. Who is this anonymous "Diane Nguyen" and what does she have against our beloved Hippopotamus? Joining me now is Hippopapalous apologist, and armchair sociologist, Cardigan Burke.

The worst for me was with the Nexus 6P, the last phone before they rebranded to Pixel. There was a known issue with the battery, where it would die when the phone said it was at like 50%. I jumped through all their troubleshooting hoops when it was obviously a hardware issue. They eventually agreed to send out a replacement and I was assured it wouldn't have the issue. Lo and behold, it did the exact same thing as soon as I got it. I went through all the trouble shooting again and they sent ANOTHER replacement that still had the issue. I was so fed up and just kept requesting to talk to someone higher up and they eventually just sent me a Pixel 1 to shut me up.

There's a reason molestation insurance for churches is such a big industry

Contacting IT is always my last line of defense and I get unreasonably frustrated when they refuse to help without walking me through basic troubleshooting. It's like, I've already figured out the cause of the problem, just tell me where the button is to fix it. The worst was when I had to RMA my Pixel phone and they made me go through every step I'd already been through just to come to the same conclusion I initially came to them with.
