Nah, name and shame, 100% that will likely actually make a difference over traffic stops or photo radar.
Yeah, and when my GPS skips for a second and my speed registers as 89+mph for a few seconds as the system catches up I’ll really be shamed for what a horrible person I’ve been!
(This isn’t even a hypothetical, I regularly see my estimated speed in android auto get wonky because GPS signal isn’t perfect)
The journalist DID get the correct type of gun. The title is not written by the journalist and is the only place revolver is used.
It’s in the subtitle, and it was produced by the news organization alongside the article. It’s part of the article as released by the journalistic news outlet, it impacts the story, and it’s embarrassing
And the way you say, “what other basic facts have they misrepresented” makes it seem like you think this was an intentional thing to skew the stor
Nice assumption, don’t read shit into what other people say and you won’t get it wrong. My point wasn’t that it’s purposefully wrong at all, just that it is wrong, and an insanely basic thing to get wrong. Assume incompetence before malice, you know?
Only gun nerds will care about that detail
Lol, completely untrue. My wife has no idea about guns and her first comment was that the gun in the thumbnail wasn’t a revolver and she chuckled. It’s a really basic fact to fuck up
so the editor/copy person who actually wrote the headline likely did no research at all
Exactly? If the person doing the tag line for the article couldn’t be bothered to not make a basic error fixed with a 2s web search: why should you trust that the person who wrote the article did, or was checked properly?
The point is that the type of gun is not important
The point is that I learned in my journalism classes that missing basic facts like this erodes trust in you as a news source, for obvious reasons. Well, obvious to people with half a brain, anyway.
Just like if the person had said the officer was wearing a cotton shirt under his uniform when it was actually a poly-cotton blend, it’s not 100% accurate but it doesn’t change the point.
Absolutely not the same at all. What the office wore underneath his uniform is nether relevant nor in the thumbnail next to the article title. The type of gun is both of those things
Again, it’s a very simple concept: if the news source cannot be assed to do a basic fact check on their title when it’s blatantly false by their own thumbnail then they cannot be trusted to fact check jack shit
Does the online work?
Got it on PS5 for a great deal and unfortunately that only works once every blue moon but it’s actually a stupid fun MP skateboarding game
It’s what child me never got to enjoy gdi
If a journalist can’t get the basic fact of revolver vs Glock right, what other basic facts have they misrepresented?
thats why factual accuracy in news stories is important, especially if the weapon in question is the articles thumbnail, making it the first thing many will notice
Because they’re 2 different types of vehicle
You’re inside the moving vehicle and should you not be attached to it you’ll bounce around the inside or go flying out the window in a crash
A motorcyclist is not contained, and thus it’s dumb to attach them to the dangerous and heavy metal should a crash occur. We instead require protective gear (unless you live in a shitty state) so you get less injured if you go flying
Ill add something I’ve never really seen anyone mention: it used to be a lot better at staying on topic without ME keeping it that way
For example: this weekend I was playing Blops 3 and googled shit like “Winslow accord bo3” and after 1-3 searches I could just type shit related to bo3 and even if it had relevant pages related to other shit, it’d remember my recent searches and keep them rather relevant even if it was on my phone or a new window rather than the same search bar
At least, it used to work that way. Now every 4-5 searches it suddenly forgets what tangent I was on and I have to start adding qualifiers again to get relevant searches
Don’t even need to be a woman
Men talk about this shit too, most of us actually care about the people in our lives that this had an effect on after all
because what I’m thinking is still a taboo on societal debates.
Yeah, eugenics is gross and you’re wrong that there are too many people for the earth to support
I’ve heard from shit tons of sources that Astro Bot is straight-out good, yes
Lol, downvoted for sharing genuine opinions people I personally know have, as well as sources who are super willing to call out corporate garbage for what it is loving it, like Stephanie Sterling
Why pay for usenet access when my ISP gives me the same upload as I have download and I’m not using it for anything else?
One time I was playing modded Skyrim when it froze/crashed at the loading screen
So I summon task manager, it hides behind the frozen game. I alt+tab and start blind keying to Skyrim to end it, been here hundreds of times, but nothing happens and the Skyrim world music STARTS???!!!
ALT+TAB to see TM and Skyrim both reporting non-responsive. Tab to Skyrim and press w, clearly hear character moving and reacting to my input
Try again to end process via ALT+F4, No dice. Try via TM, still unresponsive
I had to reboot my PC with a hard power button press that time and I still don’t fully understand what the FUCK happened
Proton
Mullvad is good like the other guy said but Proton has port forwarding, which if you don’t wanna be a HnR jerk you wanna do
That means I have to leave my phone plugged into the computer while it installs rather than take my phone to browse memes on while I shit or whatever
Or, alternatively, you can bootstrap into a fine red mist as you get stuck to it and violently flung about
Lathes rule
Lol, 3d old account gets something like this so wrong?
Shocker
Your reading comprehension is terrible, just like your attitude on every thread
Or they can block your community and talk shit about vegans on every other thread after having an experience that validated what they’ve heard about those communities
Which is what happens most, if not all, of the time
So thanks for that, we don’t like reading that spam either you know
Yeah, audiobooks are way longer than 4 hours normally
This “4h hotel review” is a full on story, like an audiobook but shorter
They could have a community center or a library. Sure funds are hard to come by but what kind of political party would even consider that?
Funny enough here in the rural parts of CA I’ve seen Raleys and Holiday Markets putting in large community areas with amenities like cheap (sometimes free) printers, office space, children’s areas, etc.
They’re not perfect or anything but its wild to see capitalist behemoths pull off something actually close to what the ideal would be, even if it’s likely to manipulate people somehow
Make it law that communities with a dollar general or fuck it any grocery store we all have to eat have a community center of halfway decent quality in it like those places have done willingly and you’ll have an improvement, guaranteed
My parents both openly smoked weed in front of my from a young age. I was told that as long as I was home by curfew and didn’t come home in a cop car they were fine with me doing basically whatever cuz they knew I wasn’t a complete moron (my dad worked in the school system and knew all the ACTUAL problem children really well, they hated me because of that so I never got to be a hoodlum lol), though my nugs WERE taken from me at 15 because “you were dumb enough to let us catch you with it” which is fair but I say they were out and bumming off of me without saying so lol
As for sex I got a quick talk about using a condom after my dad caught my GF and I doing it, but otherwise it was left mostly unsaid cuz my sex Ed wasnt trash
