  • You've probably met someone who has killed a person

    Jump

  • Yes, but I haven't seen him since he killed two people, partially because he's been in prison for the last ~28 years.

  • There is software/a technology company/a game named after MANY of the elements in the periodic table

  • I was struggling until trump assured me I didn't actually need so many pencils, now things are great!!1!

  • Is there a mechanism in the USA to undo presidential pardons years later if political corruption has been proven as motivation to give these pardons?

  • Judges don't pass laws, but they can create plenty of loopholes out of thin air. Qualified Immunity doesn't exist in any statute (to my knowledge), but it is a de facto legal standard, for one example.

  • Now, the decision you reach here today will determine how we will regard this... creation of our genius. It will reveal the kind of a people we are, what he is destined to be; it will reach far beyond this courtroom and this... one SAUSAGE. It could significantly redefine the boundaries of personal liberty and freedom - expanding them for some... savagely curtailing them for others. Are you prepared to condemn him and all who come after him, to servitude and slavery? Your Honor, Starfleet was founded to seek out new life; well, there it sits! - Waiting.

  • Temperature sensitivity feels like it should be* distinct

    Jump

  • The classic "five senses" works well enough for the basic understanding of how we interact with the world, but doesn't actually hold up under much scrutiny. You can apparently get up to 12 depending on how you want to define things.

    https://www.press.jhu.edu/newsroom/how-many-senses-do-we-have

    The idea of five classical senses dates back at least to Aristotle, himself a rather classy guy. In De Anima (Of the Soul) he argues that, for every sense, there is a sense organ.

    ...

    Let’s tweak Aristotle’s definition of what a sense is just a bit. Instead of a sense organ, each separate sense really only requires a different kind of sensory receptor. In the skin alone, there are at least four different kinds of sensory receptors: those for touch, temperature, pain, and proprioception (or body awareness).

  • Do people know what the Streisand effect was about?

    Jump

  • And it was inside a huge (10k+) batch of pictures documenting the entire California coastline. Basically nobody had even seen it at the time she, or at least her lawyer, threw a fit about it.

  • Do people know what the Streisand effect was about?

    Jump

  • I do. I've been reading Techdirt for over 25 years, so I'm sure I read the original post where the term was coined at the time it was first published.

  • Removed

    modern identity culture is synthetic, inorganic and manipulative

    Jump

  • More people should read (and follow) rule 6.

  • Why are statute of limitations in place for heinous crimes in some places?

    Jump

  • US-centric answer: Murder doesn't have any time limitations on being charged.

    https://www.findlaw.com/criminal/criminal-law-basics/time-limits-for-charges-state-criminal-statutes-of-limitations.html

    There are always going to be holes in the law, so it probably wouldn't be difficult to find some example of a horrible crime that finds a loophole in this, but the general idea is that the worst crimes have no statute of limitations.

    Misdemeanors are usually fairly short, many felonies are longer, sex crimes are often (but not always) exempt, and murder has no limit in any state.

  • U.S. veteran "100 percent" regrets voting for Trump after ICE detains his wife. Now she's locked up on Thanksgiving Day — despite not being charged with any crime.

  • I tried to help last November 5. No second chances for fascists.

  • All those words but couldn't understand what tariffs mean

    Jump

  • Those would have reported a 30% decrease in cost for a larger meal, and had their entire bot army retweet it to viral levels. They won't let reality get in the way of the gaslighting their overlords demand.

  • After Apple originally announced the first version of Halo in 1999, Xbox apparently called Bungie and said "'Steve Jobs can't have that. We're going to buy you.'"

  • People who have moved away from your home town/area, what do you miss most?

    Jump

  • The last time I went back to visit my parents, I just sat in the living room and listened to the quiet. They're on the outskirts of a small town, and there is zero traffic. The house stays at the right temperature with no fans or other mechanical help. The nearest neighbor is much further away than at my suburban house.

  • And that's how I found out where to find bags of just the rye chips from party mixes
