I am a pacifist, and I recognize the danger of encouraging/pardoning vigilantism. There are people I feel are heroes, who others view as villains. People should argue, debate, and put pressure as much as possible with non violence… but that is clearly not working for the ultra wealthy who are so insulated from 99.9% of what we can do.

The murdered man was, even by US capitalist standards, excessively evil. In a functioning and just system he would have had life in prison with no chance of parole for 1000+ counts of at the very least man slaughter for the millions of people whose health care was delayed or prevented. The world is a slightly better place without that level of extreme greed and heartlessness in it.

I also feel like the main point of prison “SHOULD” be Prevention and Rehabilitation. Which if the Attacker was personally harmed by a CEO and lashed out, I don’t think prison can accomplish either for him. I guess the US gov probably disagrees and thinks he should be rehabilitated as someone who is okay with being exploited by CEOs.

But I do want all evidence laid out, I want a jury to determine if he’s unhinged and a danger to others, or someone who was hurt on a fundamental level and lashed out. We of course assume it’s the second one, but we don’t know yet.

Juries and judges will sometimes use the kid gloves when dealing with people who kill their abusers, and I think a light sentence with the message of “murder is wrong… but so is allowing thousands to die to increase profits. So maybe don’t be so evil people wouldn’t mind giving up 10 years of their lives to see you removed from this world” would be fine.

… but also if this becomes another one of a million unsolved cases, I won’t lose a wink of sleep about it.

Gonna leave this here:

You’d fit right in on our discord server!

Not only do most of our blind community members love making jokes like that, or often times much more concerning one, you’ll sit there very unsure on how to respond! The off topic channel is good fun all around!

I mean, unless they are ferrying weapons across the great salt lake, I don’t think it applies to me XD

But if Californians wanna disrupt all trade on the west coast I wish them all the luck.

That is very reasonable take. I mean I don’t have kids so a rifle in a gun safe probably is harmless. If it never gets used, it’ll just be a funny story of that time Ericbomb got paranoid and bought a gun because of encouragement from some weirdos off fake Reddit.

Owning a gun scares me since it’s been decided that if a cop sees you touch a gun they can kill you and it’ll almost certainly be ruled fine. Maybe I’ll get something for home that stays here and just keep taking my pepper spray around.

2A so important right?

But, good points… I ahh, may or may not already be housing some friends that were kicked out of their houses for life style differences. Such as you know, not being Mormon.

But wonderful points!

You know what? That does help, thank you. This feeling you get when something goes terribly wrong that says “do something” can be good, but also very stressful because WTF are we supposed to do about an election like this?

I mean I hope they investigate, considering you know, the whole attempting to over throw the government thing. For all we know there already is evidence and they just are collecting. But yeah, not holding my breath for that one. I always knew we were bad at punishing criminal billionaires, but I would have never guessed “Rich man attempts to over throw government, is found guilty of various crimes and rape. Is handed government for his trouble.”

But sounds like we do have to wait and watch for at least the moment. I do hope maybe a few republican senators will want to slow things down, or at least want to pretend to be the sane ones.

Yeah over simplifying it a bit, and that’s funny that the stupid thing I found wasn’t even stupid enough.

But was mostly trying to impart that we should be happy for modern languages, because for every line you write in a modern language, it’ll do a dozen things on the back end for you that in assembly you’d need to do by hand.

To send the point home even more, this is how in python you make a line of text display:

print("Hello World")

This is the same thing, in assembly (According to a blog I found. I can’t read this. I am not build better.)

  org  0x100        ; .com files always start 256 bytes into the segment

    ; int 21h is going to want...

    mov  dx, msg      ; the address of or message in dx
    mov  ah, 9        ; ah=9 - "print string" sub-function
    int  0x21         ; call dos services

    mov  ah, 0x4c     ; "terminate program" sub-function
    int  0x21         ; call dos services

    msg  db 'Hello, World!', 0x0d, 0x0a, '$'   ; $-terminated message

But python turns that cute little line up top, into that mess at the bottom.

I like python. Python is cute. Anyone can read python.

What I am learning is that I am not in the correct tax bracket to pay for contractors unless messing up means the house burning down. So probably gonna be DIY this one.

Oof yeah if it is coming out to 4k+ then I probably am gonna be a DIYer.

A reasonable policy

Sleep five minutes, play five minutes, eat, repeat! Very busy kitty.

Aww that’s so cute!

But this is SOO tedious. The annoying bit is it could just be one person who set it up over a weekend, has a script that they plug into when wanting to be a troll, and now all admins/mods have to do more work.

You’re fighting the good fight! So annoying that folks are doing it on freaking lemmy.

I was going to say “Oh you can potty train any mammal!”

Then I remembered Pandas exist… sooo I’ll just say “Most mammals have had examples of them being potty trained”

So he looks litter trained based on the box, so my “guess” is it’s to help keep any related stains to this carpet, same you don’t wanna put you litter box on a carpet for a cat, also if all his toys/food are on the rug, he’ll probably stay on the rug most of the time.

Just a guess though.

I mean at the risk of being “whooshed”

The rug is to prevent staining the carpet, and if I was them I would actually have a plastic layer between the rug/carpet.

The hay mat is going to be MONCHED.

I want them to be in a buddy cop movie together. The young tech assassin and old no nonsense cop.

I’m afraid it’s nothing fun.

I had two cats, one young, one old.

My old 17 year old cat passed recently, and my 3 year old cat has been super erratic for months since. I’ve tried tons of things from calm down treats, pheromones, different toys… he’s just a very unhappy young cat. He runs around just meowing a ton at random times, which he never did before. There is my room mates cat so there is another cat, but my cat has 0 interest in this other cat. He’s unhappy.

I’m hoping maybe I can hide this in different places each day and he’ll have something to hunt when it makes a noise and give him a sense of schedule and things to do?

I’ve tried most of the advice I can find online, so now I’m trying to make things up. I didn’t give very many details because I knew if I did, I’d just get a whole ton of advice that I already tried.
