Black Mirror was a warning not a guidebook
Still would
This could be in NotTheOnion. I had to check to make sure it wasn't satire.
Rule number 1: Don't mess with rich people's money. That'll get you in trouble no matter where you fall on the hierarchy.
And then he "died".
Either he's actually dead, in which case he wasn't punished for what he did, but for threatening to expose other powerful people, or he's alive and living in exile.
Probably the former, but when it comes to the wealthy and powerful, I won't rule anything out.
Can't tell if sarcastic. This is the lemmyverse after all.
But yes, it would seem that selective enforcement is part of the cult mindset.
That's a good point, and it supports mine in fact. The legislation I want would be something like health care reform. When the administration's goals aren't and were never to create lasting meaningful change for the average citizen, when the judiciary rubber stamps things we all know are wrong, the legislative process becomes obsolete.
We aren't measuring success by the same metrics as they are.
I disagree. Existing laws don't contemplate cars that are not under direct control of a human. Who gets a ticket for a driverless car running a stop sign? How do you enforce that law?
I actually feel bad for the one who apologized. She deserves to be reprimanded and taught why her actions were unacceptable, not national outrage.
18 year olds do stupid things. University is the first time a lot of 18 year olds leave their comfort zone and interact with people from other cultures. People that young don't always realize the prejudices they hold until they're forced to confront them.
Some things were better before everything was recorded and posted on the internet. A ten second clip of drunk girls doing something dumb and insensitive and now the whole country is coming down on them. Absolutely insane.
Can you imagine if a ten second clip of something stupid you did when you were 18 on your way to a house party went viral like this?
A bidet in general. Everyone should have one in their home. Even a cheap one.
When I first installed mine, I didn't get what all the fuss was about. Then I went on vacation. Imagine my horror when I realized that hotel bathrooms don't have bidets. I bought myself a portable bidet bottle after that. It's not the same but it's still better than smearing poop off with dry paper.
I second this. Don't know what kind of unicorn magic those things have inside, but they trap smells better than any paper towel roll stuffed with dryer sheets.
