DUI. I was dismissed during jury selection, i think from questioning the accuracy and last calibration date of the breathalyzer device when they asked what I would want to know about during the trial.

That was after someone else was pleading emotionally with the judge/attorneys to dismiss them because of a family member being killed by a drunk driver. The jury member said they would be unfair and vote guilty no matter what, and the judge argued their perspective was important for the jury. They were selected.

No conclusions here. It was an interesting process and I was only there an hour or two.

Its the absurd generalizations that are the problem.

If the parking was obstructing something else you can report it to enforcement for towing/ticketing or the owners of the lot. If it was not obstructing something else then you are being ridiculous and trying to put people in their place. I read this reply as nothing but ego and lots of assumptions (shooting my brains out, wtf?)

Leaving a note and running away is passive. I see what you mean, but disagree.

Its stupid and petty. By calling out an asshole this way you show yourself as also being an asshole. Resorting to passive aggressive name calling and insults from mild inconvenience is not a good look.

AI has free reign to scrape Lemmy or any federated site. But at least the data being scraped isn’t curated and moderated by a massive advertising platform.

They killed my favorite app “rif”, so I started using the web version. Then they made the web version almost unusable with the “open this in our app” banner on every page which was the last straw for me. Can’t use third party apps, and the web version is constantly nagging you to not use it? Stupid. Now I just use Lemmy on Firefox and have had 0 issues.

I just like watching Saru walk, the hand-arm sway is mesmerizing!

I still get unsolicited phone calls regularly and report it to my carriers spam reporting channels. It never ends!! Phone numbers from multiple states ive never been to. This is indeed still a problem and carriers are trying to make money off of it by selling upgraded tools/apps to mitigate it.

I don’t recall being given the option to vote on this.

I use the coffee grinders at WinCo regularly in AZ. I’m surprised to not see many other comments saying so! They also have a fantastic bulk section. I hope it never goes away.

Are you calling non tippers the assholes, and not the business owners or practice of tipping in general? Tipping is out of control and a stupid obligation as it is currently being used.

I have been reading through this book on the matter: The Half Has Never Been Told: Slavery and the Making of American Capitalism by Edward E. Baptist https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/14894629-the-half-has-never-been-told

The descriptions of violence toward slaves is heavily discussed and is quite eye-opening to me, since this is not the version I was taught in school!

Any other insult around the facts of what he said or did would be much more helpful than this.

Sure, I just can’t help but imagine how I personally would react if this became common for all patients.

I think I would be offended if some robot came up to try and provide emotional support. Its fake, and reminds me that our society values profit over human life. This should not be normalized as a necessity due to missing money that is going to the pockets of administrators, owners, insurance, and whoever else…this is pathetic.

Then don’t adjust the theme?

How does this destroy android, exactly?

I pay extra for paramount+ ad free version and they still show me periodic ads. Its infuriating. And they are much louder than the show content, as a cherry on top. What an awful service.
