I think bullet proof is only part of the urban legend piece of the story. It says security glass and snopes did not use the term bullet proof either.

There’s obviously truth to there being diminishing returns, but this chart is garbage.

Nah these guys were absolutely skewered and convicted in the court of public opinion before the charges got dropped a full year after the fact.

That said, there are still many things they did that were gross and reprehensible that evening. However rape was not among them.

She’s still a convicted felon and was serving her time on home confinement. She served several years in actual prison. She has not been forgiven for her crime.

I really don’t understand Lemmy. People massively confusing pardons and sentence commutations. Further being outraged at the horrors of the American prison system, yet being pissed when people aren’t imprisoned enough.

Commutations, not pardons.

They’re still convicted felons, and we must assume deservedly so (I acknowledge some crimes are bullshit, eg marijuana charges).

They don’t particularly deserve pardons, they deserve humane sentences for their crimes – actual rehabilitation, mental health support, etc.

Trolling is a art

Initial perceptions were they absolutely did it. Rich kids and university athletes, classic story of not being able to take no as an answer.

It took quite a while for the tide to turn from what I remember.

Because this is absolutely what you should do, and you should still handle it like it was loaded even after doing this.

For small spaces with limited occupancy, you can get away with opening into the room. Main exits are push, unless it opens onto a public sidewalk and not a stoop or something.

Hey, I’m outraged!

Outraged at the fact that the system is so fucking shitty someone felt the need to do this in retaliation.

Yes but you see Møllehøj is still higher than the pyramids. Sooooo.

The joke is always better when someone explains it.

Europeans: haha you guys have no history!

Also Europeans: haha you’re curious where your family emigrated from! Losers!

I’m sure they were mortified they needed to release a proprietary connector

I think what OP meant is that there’s no new creation of types of devices.

My new phone is objectively and subjectively better than the previous two I’ve owned over the last 6 years, but it’s doing the same tasks.

This is overly dramatic. It’s not like you were on the same flight number, but the day before.

Yes, and you abolish FPTP and now you elect a president how? I’m interested in your proposal, because it’s incomplete to say get rid of FPTP… Otherwise top vote getter, who gets maybe 30% of the vote leads the country which is also an abomination as 70% didn’t vote for that person.

Abolishing FPTP requires doing something else on top of it, ranked choice or run off would be better than the highest count.

Okay so you go with what system?

Let’s say the breakdown of votes looks the same as the Swedish breakdown. There will be more people that voted for a different candidate than the red one (Social Democrat).

This then requires a run off system like france, or a ranked choice, which is also fine to propose, but you can’t hold up a visual of a parliament and say the system is so much better, when we talk about one singular office.
