If you can reach out to a local expert, there’s probably an assumed standard for “reasonable” that the state goes by. Vague laws like that frequently just mean that you use the standard set by an administrative admin or the courts.

scoobford@lemmy.zipto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Do you think its a good idea to elect the sheriff / chief of police so they could be more accountable to the people? Or do you think they should be appointed?12·13 days agoWe already elect ours, and it is a clusterfuck. Elections need to have public interest or they just become a contest to see who can whip the most weirdos into the booth.
scoobford@lemmy.zipto News@lemmy.world•YouTube star Mikayla Raines dies by suicide at 29, husband blames online abuse24·13 days agoI couldn’t bear to watch her husbands video, but I saw several comments on reddit that her “friends” were spewing this shit too.
While they have admirable goals and do important work, a lot of animal rights people are fucking nuts.
scoobford@lemmy.zipto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•US question: Would you approve of your state seceding from the Union, declaring independence from the United States? I think California, Oregon, and Washington would, and probably Colorado too.22·15 days agoNo. Imagining an independent future for any state (including California and Texas) is pure cope. The states are so interdependent that attempting to secede would be ruinous for the state in question.
The only exceptions I can think of are Alaska and Hawaii, which might be able to survive if they found another country to keep them supplied and economically connected.
Nope! Medical knowledge was very anti-masturbation for a long time. Devices like this, genital mutilation, and corn flakes (no, really) were all popularized in the US by Dr. Kellogg to prevent masturbation.
Probably? While it’s weird and gross enough to current sensibilities to be sarcasm, these devices were absolutely used to prevent masturbation for several decades in the US so…who the fuck knows…?
Wayland had/has a couple of missing features. Personally, it’s nothing I use so I’ve been on Wayland for years now, but if you care about those missing features, then they won’t work.
Honestly I don’t even remember what they were anymore. I think screen capture was a big one though.
No. They exist, but they basically only have beer, cigarettes, chips, and candy. No actual food.
They’re also very badly overpriced.
scoobford@lemmy.zipto Android@lemmy.world•So apparently my phone may explode soon. (6a) What is a good replacement phone?English1·26 days agoSome units of the pixel 6a may have bad batteries, and a software patch to reduce charging capacity is rolling out.
You can get a different pixel model or apply the software update that prevents overcharging and be safe.
A little older. I was 11 in grade 6, but I was also the youngest student.
They’re saying that our current ideas of male beauty have been warped heavily by drugs and plastic surgery such that we consider naturally attractive men to look unremarkable.
scoobford@lemmy.zipto Today I Learned@lemmy.world•TIL Erica Chenoweth et al. studied over 323 movements and found that in aggregate, nonviolent civil resistance was far more effective in producing changeEnglish10·26 days agoWell it’s illegal to enslave people, beat your spouse, or force your “possessions” to shit in each other’s mouths as punishment, so I’m going to say we’ve had some minor successes, yes.
scoobford@lemmy.zipto Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ@lemmy.dbzer0.com•What is your go-to sites after torrentgalaxy went down?English3·29 days agoI don’t think it’s really considered very safe anymore, although it is still very popular.
scoobford@lemmy.zipto News@lemmy.world•Jonathan Joss death: Police backtrack on hate crime denial27·1 month agoAfaik the Colorado thing wasn’t a hate crime, it was an act of terrorism. It was motivated by political cause (antizionism), not identity (Jewishness).
scoobford@lemmy.zipto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•how do I know that you guys are real and not bots?2·1 month agoI agree, except there are a lot of fucking weirdos who care way too much about random stuff. I can totally see a random 4channer running a bot to smear a TV show they don’t like or something.
scoobford@lemmy.zipto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•how do I know that you guys are real and not bots?4·1 month agoSerious answer: you don’t.
HOWEVER, it doesn’t really matter. The world is a big place, and you can find a decent size group who will expound any shitty opinion when given the opportunity. You already couldn’t blindly trust the information or opinions you found online, so whether it comes from a LLM, a troll farm, or just an idiot doesn’t really matter too much.
Not from broadcasting, but they can pay a ratings company like Nielsen to research certain samples of the population.
My group is the only one in our building not allowed to work from home half the week. We are moving office soon, and as a part of that the other groups will have their regular WFH days eliminated, and we will all receive a number of WFH days at the beginning of the year like PTO.
I’d be mad about it, but every week like clockwork it takes 6+ hours for everyone at home to respond to simple emails or questions. I should be mad at the company for their stupid policy, instead I’m mad at the massive number of my coworkers who fucked it up for us before we even got it.
scoobford@lemmy.zipto Uplifting News@lemmy.world•Senate passes historic bill banning child marriage in IslamabadEnglish6·2 months agoTo be fair, a lot of those have marriage ages set to 18 unless you’re ~17 years old and get the approval of a judge. I’m not saying it’s okay, because it isn’t, but when you hear “child marriage” you tend to think 12, not 17.

American rail doesn’t exist outside of like two cities. To take public transit to work, I’d have to walk about 12km to the train station. From there, I could catch a train that runs every hour to downtown. I think that train takes about 45m, but I have no idea how often it runs. From downtown, I could transfer to light rail for 20m, transfer again to a bus for 15m, and then I could walk the last 6 blocks or so. Not counting the 12km walk, it would take at least 1:20 plus time spent waiting on transfers.
Or I could drive there in 45m of horrible traffic.
