The guy had a knife, which might have injured one of the cops, maybe. … they think there might be the slightest minor chance that they could be in a little bit of danger.

I don’t disagree with your overall sentiment that police need better de-escalation training and non-lethal defense weapons - but you need to seriously re-examine your perception of how dangerous a knife attack is. Please don’t trivialize it just to make a point, because it undermines your own credibility and weakens your otherwise reasonable argument.

Took a road trip from Kansas to Utah and Arizona, just played Marty Robbins the whole way. It was a spiritual experience

Yeah I was really frustrated that she wouldn’t answer the damn questions

If you ever replay it make sure you have Killap’s Restoration Project mod. Adds a talking head for Cassidy along with a ton of other great content

No. At least not in this community. If you follow multiple news communities on Lemmy then you’re going to get some overlap, of course.

This may be true for married couples who started dating when they were teenagers. Since you brought it up, I’d be curious to see what proportion of the couples in the study fall into that category. I have a hunch that it’s a pretty small percentage, though.

While it’s true that there is some stigma against (e.g.) a college freshman or sophomore dating someone who’s still in high school, I don’t think many people in their right mind would object to a 2-, 3- or even 4-year age gap once both partners are at least 20.

EDIT to add: I don’t think 17-year-olds being afraid to date 15-year-olds even registers on the top ten reasons “why people are increasingly lonely.” Your take comes across as very high school-centric.

I’ll be making pan pizza with Muenster cheese for that nice melty-buttery goodness with the caramelized edges all around. Not quite Detroit style but close enough. I don’t have a lot of patience when it comes to pizza dough, so I’ll be adding a couple tablespoons of vital wheat gluten flour to strengthen the dough, and let it rise in the same pan I bake it in.

Sauce is homemade, I just blend a can of San Marzano tomatoes with baked garlic, olive oil, and dried basil.

Probably gonna top it with sauteed mushrooms and red peppers and feta cheese.

"And to be a man and then vote for a woman just because she’s a woman is either childish — that person has mommy issues — or they are just trying to be accepted by other women,” Watters said. “I heard the scientists say the other day that when a man votes for a woman, he actually transitions into a woman.”

They didn’t say “sell,” they said “give.”

Should Ruben vet the entire Lemmyverse while he’s at it so he can “dictate what appears in his product?”

As a solo developer with limited resources, one has four choices:

• Choose an existing ad network and do the best you can within its content preferences,

• Put a paywall on your app’s features and hope enough people will actually buy it,

• Work for free, sacrificing your own livelihood, or

• Don’t develop the app.

Clearly they all involve a compromise of one form or another, and I trust that Ruben put a lot of thought into the decision.

Thanks for prompting me to look up and learn something new today! And now I know why the cazador is based specifically on the tarantula hawk.

Kind of misleading headline. She went out of her way to explain to the interviewer that it had nothing to do with marijuana and she was going to treat it as though he had asked who would be fun to be around, like who she would get a pedicure with or something like that.

To recap - a podcast host asks her who she would smoke a blunt with, she pointedly reframes the question, The Hill picks it up and runs a headline implying that she wants to smoke a blunt with Dwayne Johnson anyways.

Why are dragonborn excluded from the “many colors” section of the diagram? They have a wider variety of colors than goblins or tieflings. This is a very poor Venn diagram.

Their small, fine scales are usually brass or bronze in color, sometimes ranging to scarlet, rust, gold, or copper-green. … The blood of a particular type of dragon runs very strong through some dragonborn clans. These dragonborn often boast scales that more closely match those of their dragon ancestor—bright red, green, blue, or white, lustrous black, or gleaming metallic gold, silver, brass, copper, or bronze.
