In a logical world it would be. But criminally I don’t think anywhere differentiates type of weapon other than “firearm” and “deadly”.

They need to fully separate it from date rape too. Back in my younger days I knew 3 different dudes who got dosed out at bars. I highly doubt they were intended rape victims, but a lot of robberies start out with someone slipping something into your drink, then getting you in the parking lot.

Drugging anyone for anyone reason should qualify as attempted manslaughter. Which, counter intuitively is a real charge.

It makes it easier to charge rapists too because you don’t have to prove rape, and can even charge them before a rape happens. If you can prove rape, throw it on top as additional charges.

I mean, they literally are weapons…

Potentially deadly

Sessions at the summit, which Nature attended, covered a wide range of health-related topics, including psychedelics, brain implants and anti-ageing therapies. Academic researchers or clinicians were not among the speakers at the sessions, which were peppered by comments critical of the medical establishment.

I don’t know if that was an intentional joke, but fucking hilarious to add that.

The molehill is your focus on the word believe

If I walked up and took a sandwich out of you hand and ate, would you say:

I believe that’s my sandwich

And expect me to give it back? Or anyone to help you?

Or do you think:

You just stole my sandwich

Would be more effective?

You’re acting like this is one isolated incident with zero consequences…

And I readily admit, I over estimate people’s critical thinking abilities, but it seems very clear with how Israel and Russia treat borders, and how chummy with them trump is, that this could very likely be the start of the same behavior.

But like I said, I often think shit is ridiculously obvious just to find out other people just can’t connect the dots.

I’ll never understand why people get so belligerent instead of just asking questions till they understand.

Can you at least tell me why you didn’t want to ask questions when you ran into something you didn’t understand?

It’s a widespread issue, and I legitimately want some insight into your choices here.

You think a hostile nation’s military headed by a demented narcissist showing up on another country’s sovereign soil and placing signs that it belongs to a different country…

Is a molehill?

Buddy, if you don’t understand why something is serious, I’d highly advise you to ask questions instead of loudly proclaim it’s not a big deal

and had replies that ignored the question I asked and insulted me and said my question was stupid

No you didn’t…

My reply telling them to stop being rude and answer the question if they want to comment was removed by the mods.

Looking at the modlog, you had one comment removed for being flippant and not contributing to the conversation. Which is what you’re claiming doesn’t happen…

What??

This wasn’t a random place, it’s a fucking beach with people who go there routinely…

What “great lengths” did you think it would take to determine which side of Trump’s ridiculous fence this was on?

You think people that live and work right next to the border, are unsure about where the border is?

You think it’s something you can accidentally wander across?

Mexico knew that beach was theirs, but when pushed they said it might be instead of saber rattling that America just tried to seize a fucking landinghead

Kind of like asking what murderers or drug dealers do…

Different people do it different ways, but lots of high profile cult leaders are in jail, you can actually find out on an individual basis, but if you average them all up, you get no valuable data

They also said unauthorized access or photography was not allowed in that area and that ‘if you are found here, you may be detained and searched.’ Mexico’s foreign affairs ministry said its navy removed the signs from the sand, which it believed were on Mexican territory."

That’s the result they wanted.

It’s Mexico, clear as day, but Mexico just waffled on it and said they “believed” it was Mexico.

They’ll take a page out of Israel’s playbook and start saying “until we figure this out, it’s a buffer zone”. Then just keep expanding it and not obstructing Americans from “settling” there, once they’re established, then it’s obviously America because why else would Americans be living there?

It doesn’t matter what the creator of the word thought

Yeah…

That’s why I said:

You can just keep using his word, but not care about his rules.

Thanks for aggressively agreeing with me I guess?

Weird move, and I think it’s more likely you were just confused, it works better if you ask questions when you’re confused.

why the word “literally” doesn’t mean “literally” anymore and we literally don’t have a replacement word.

Literally still means literally, it just ironically also means figuratively now too.

But it’s literally always meant literally.

but did you want to answer the question

I did…

it was made up in the 1940s by some guy who thought vegetarians weren’t good enough, and he set whatever rules he wanted to

Every reason why you can/can’t do something and be Vegan, is because the guy who made the word up ~80 years ago decided it should be like that

You’re acting like it’s a math or science, like it’s based on logic or something…

It’s not, so the answer to “why” is essentially “because the founder said that”?

Does that make sense now?

You can do pretty much whatever you want man…

Like “vegan” isn’t even a century old yet, it was made up in the 1940s by some guy who thought vegetarians weren’t good enough, and he set whatever rules he wanted to.

You can just keep using his word, but not care about his rules.

Or you can make up your own name and rules.

People searching for labels they like and then conforming to every fucking aspect of that label and nothing else, doesn’t work out well.

So please, if you want to eat roadkill just do it.

Yeah, English is the go-to example because the first people to run printing presses in English were Dutch and couldn’t really spell or speak English.

There was likely similar situations in Asia as well, I’m just not familiar with their history.

But go back far enough and even writing by hand is technology

In almost every language the writing was developed ventures or even millenia after spoken.

Writing is also more set, especially with the printing press it made changes very slow. So while spoken language keeps changing written lags further and further behind.

So instead of X disabling it…

Only Apple did

Everyday there’s like 5-10 brand new accounts who quickly spam ~20 articles each and stop the same day.

It looks like someone hoping Lemmy takes off so they can sell aged accounts later.

NK is so pissed because a single SSBN pointed at wherever Kim is would prevent NK from ever launching any kind of attack.

If all of SKs nukes are on land, it’s conceivable (but very unlikely) they could somehow take them all out before they fire.

An SSBN is a deadmans switch. You can glass an entire country in an instant, but the SSBN will still get you back.

Yeah, it just doesn’t hit it.

Gravity does work with dark matter tho, so we can’t really say “unaffected” because the dark matter would still bend the light due to gravity. I’m not sure if we can detect that bend, but I remember something relatively recently about how dark matter can interact via gravity, and I’m assuming bending light would have been the easiest way to test that.

No good war but a class war, and one side has always been fighting it…
