  • I'm surprised the white house doesn't just host a mastodon server. I'm sure they consider using unvetted software to communicate to be a security risk, but it's no less a risk to put your communication channels in the hands of a third party.

  • If the case gets that far they lose. It's always about proximate cause and I promise you, a jury will decide that the raid was proximate cause. Surviving motions to dismiss based on immunity or venue and other stuff is where this case really will be decided. And where the appeals will be directed.

  • Mostly it seems to be because they're making a federal civil rights complaint. Gross negligence and civil rights complaints tend to defeat immunity, though I don't know if that'll be successful against the city itself.

    If they can prove malice on the city's part, immunity goes out the window. And they may be able to do that.

    The filing reads more like an investigative journalist report than a legal filling. It's like a small town version of the Wire. The gang in this instance, of course, are police and their sychpohants.

    It also goes full blast on the judge and calls her essentially a lazy drunk who can't follow basic legal procedure. What makes that funny is she isn't even a party to the case, because she obviously has qualified immunity even if she's a lazy drunk.

    While Chief Cody did not turn off his body camera while relieving himself, he apparently chose to turn it off while he reviewed Gruver’s confidential investigative file on him, for the Marion Police Department did not produce any body camera footage from Chief Cody of him looking through Gruver’s file on him

    Included with that quote is a picture of Cody in the pisser, lol.

  • Humorously enough, they weren't going to run the story on the sheriff. He was hired as sheriff after getting enough complaints to get him fired in the big city. There sheriff knew they had investigated it though and was sure to dig up their sources on it during the raid.

    Story sure got ran after the raid though.

    What I find interesting is that this is a federal filing, I'm going to see if I can find the filing to b figure out why.

  • I do nothing but shit post and nobody's banned me yet. A whole lot of folks have blocked me though.

    Edit: I take it back, I was banned from shower thoughts it seems, yesterday, but not a lemmy.world site ban. The admins didn't like kbin doing something it seems. Strange.

    Banned
    roguetrick from the community Showerthoughts
    reason: This account is currently sending large amounts of unusual activities to Lemmy.World. This community ban is an attempt to mitigiate the issue without blocking kbin.social entirely. The issue needs to be addressed on kbin.social prior to us being able to lift this community ban.

    We don't get messages on kbin so I wasn't notified.

  • A downvote isn't meant to communicate anything to you. It's communicating that they don't recommend your comment. It's a function of the system we use. Feeling entitled to a justification is karenish.

    There are actually a lot of people who lurk on these sorts of platforms and don't really have a desire to engage with us.

  • Water is wet. You could've easily written the headline saying CD projekt sees future in multiplayer micro transactions. He specifically was hedging that fact with the interview question answer that did not specify between the two. Then this article pops up to carry their water.

    The sad part is, they didn't even likely pay him for this.

  • It makes sense. Coal in English is a word that originally meant a burning ember and likely related to charcoal that we then changed to exclusively mean rock coal. Since it didn't happen until the 1300s and we were producing charcoal long before that.

    If anything charcoal is redundant. It's a word with an origin like "burned burned" (though char comes from change, not burn)
