In for a penny, in for a pound.
If they’re going to bring such heavy charges carrying such serious prison time for typical protesting actions (or apparel‽) it might just convince some people that any restraint is unnecessary and to “earn” their sentences. I get that the current assumption is that is the unspoken goal to claim additional legal power but there doesn’t seem to be much hope left that things won’t escalate there even without a “proper” inciting incident.
EDIT: Removing nit-picky comment regarding transcript - attention should go to parent.

I look forward to every aspect of objective reality and lived experience having to be litigated. The future is so exciting!
If you’re talking about your “Vote like you will be competing against me for $16 an hour jobs.” post getting removed, it’s because this community only allows links to articles. It’s the first rule listed. If you want to self-post try something like [email protected] instead. You can check the modlog for moderation actions taken on comments and posts btw (on the webui there’s a link at the bottom of the page)
“[The] Republicans are selling their soul to win elections. Mark my word, if and when these preachers get control of the party, and they’re sure trying to do so, it’s going to be a terrible damn problem. Frankly, these people frighten me. Politics and governing demand compromise. The government won’t work without it. But these Christians believe they are acting in the name of God, so they can’t and won’t compromise. I know, I’ve tried to deal with them.”
-Barry Goldwater (November 1994)
I haven’t checked but I bet the lack of (prompt) moderation coincided with jordanlund stepping away temporarily for health reasons.

I don’t know offhand but I strongly suspect everything related to AI is defaulted to on/show.
DDG’s description of that feature:
If you don’t want AI-generated images to show up in DuckDuckGo image search results, you can filter them out a few different ways:
- Anytime you’re viewing image search results in the Images tab on DuckDuckGo search, you can click the AI images filter and select Hide to reload results without AI-generated content.
- Alternatively, open Search Settings > General or Search Settings > AI Features and turn on Hide AI-Generated Images.
- Finally, if you want a search experience without AI-generated images, without Search Assist answers, and without Duck.ai prompts and entry points, start your searches on noai.duckduckgo.com instead of duckduckgo.com.
How does DuckDuckGo filter out AI-generated images in search results?
We rely on publicly available lists to filter out AI-generated content, like those provided by uBlockOrigin & uBlacklist Huge AI Blocklist, an open-source blocklist, manually curated by project contributors.
These lists are not exhaustive, but our aim with the “AI images” filter is to filter out as much AI-generated content as possible.
I run Firefox on Linux Mint with uBlockOrigin and uMatrix addons (with modified settings) so I can’t speak to the universality of my results, but it seems like DDG is pretty loose with how it categorizes and displays info.
With AI images set to hide on first search for “morse code chart” I get the following: Hide
Toggling the AI image setting to show instantly changes the results and displays these: Show (instant)
Without additional changes, just clicking the search button again slightly changes the results: show (re-search)
Toggling the AI image setting back to hide again instantly changes the results to: Hide (instant)
Re-running the search as is returns the same results as #1.
I’ve also previously had horrible luck getting the date filters to work when trying to use a bookmarklet style shortcut to add the dates as parameters in the address bar (they’re just completely ignored when a search is run that way for me), and as of ~2 days ago the date range just didn’t seem to work at all. I was trying to find a human authored post/article about the difference between opossums and possums and using a date range of 1950–2015 was still ONLY returning results post-2023 and they were all wordy slop.
Most important error is that you have AI results set to show instead of hide.
Bill Stickers is innocent!
Thanks! Credit to World of Warcraft for my sensitivity to those kinds of typos; all those duel wielding rouges looking for Mankirk’s wife and whatnot.
I’m not a car person but I’m assuming they meant to prohibit dual (as in ‘double’) rear wheels as I don’t think there’s a configuration that would warrant using duel (as in ‘fight’).
Probably intended as “[Did you remember to] turn mirrors in ???”
I’m more interested in why people shouldn’t wash dueling rear wheels and oversized ones. Maybe they’re like cats and spraying them with water will stop all the fighting.
The game
Damn, I just lost.
When “bullet time” was blowing up after the Matrix was released I was expecting to see some references to the music video I saw on MTV that preceded it; but I don’t think I ever did. In 2014 (based on file timestamps) I randomly remembered the video and finally tracked it down: Meat Beat Manifesto - Helter Skelter.
Is breathable air also necessitated? Is there a minimum or maximum atmospheric pressure allowed in detention areas? Just how specific do the laws and orders need to be to prevent malicious compliance bullshit?
“You never said the blankets couldn’t be made of steel wool and soaked in lemon juice.”
“Temperature-appropriate clothing, sure - but you didn’t specify appropriate for the local climate and not somewhere thousands of miles away.”
“The medication supply was adequate, it sufficed for the rest of their life!”
There ain’t no rule that says a concentration camp can’t be made entirely of asbestos coated lead!

Leadibiles by the paint bucketful. Coincidentally, it could be argued Charlie also ate a leadibile but had a slightly different reaction to it.
