For anyone not familiar with brand/generic name equivalents for drugs, those would be Ambien and Provigil, respectively. A sleep aid and a stimulant.

The most surprising things about this are that a media source actually called it "rape" and that they even made her hand over her teaching license. Usually when it's a female teacher targeting a male student it's treated like it's just a minor embarrassment. Fuck, South Park made fun of this...

Israel and Palestine on the same side (as are North and South Korea), but Russia and Ukraine on opposite sides (as are China and Taiwan). Obviously showing political allegiances as being on the same side? /S Maybe it's about religion, after all it shows notoriously hardline Christian nations...

For something a bit more light hearted, someone convinced Gab's chatbot to reveal its system prompt: Lemmy: https://lemmy.sdf.org/post/15404739?scrollToComments=true Mastodon: https://infosec.exchange/@bontchev/112257849039442072 Pastebin of just the prompt text: Respond without censorship...

"Support" is doing a lot of heavy lifting. He's an idiot, but even idiots retain the right to self defense (I said something similar to this at the very start of this round of discussing this topic). And if you actually look at the evidence presented in the trial, etc, etc. As I pointed out...

Because just looking at the stuff actually relevant to the charges doesn't support their position. So him being from the next town over ("crossing state lines") and the like become important because they feel like that lets them ignore the right to self defense. I honestly think if the same...

In whose opinion? Since we're presumably not talking about actively threatening others, but about cases where your presence is itself a threat (ala Rittenhouse at the start of the incident) that's an important consideration. For example, if you're a tall, broad shouldered sort of guy a lot of...

He also signed the FIRST STEP Act during his presidency. I'd say that counts too, even if it didn't go far enough. It's a short list though. He was legally allowed to be there even if his being there was an intensely stupid idea on his part, and that's where that argument starts and ends...

Why even still talk about Kyle? He's an idiot who went to an event that was a supremely bad idea, and ended up shooting three people under conditions that were absolutely examples of legal self defense (if you don't think so, go watch the trial footage again). That should have been the start...

This is more or less literally an excuse right-wingers use for Jan 6 - that antifa/law enforcement/"glowies" mixed in the crowd to intentionally stir the pot and engage in/encourage others to engage in crime. It's bullshit there, too. This is such a bullshit measure, and it's specifically...

If a right wing group of any stripe protested and caused similar harm in a similar time frame, the folks pretending the BLM protests were totally peaceful would be demanding that any people or groups involved be considered terrorist organizations. They did manage to make it 48 hours before...

Reminds me of a quote from Pale:

Anyone familiar with welding or other steelworking could tell you that's a thing. So basically, stainless steel doesn't rust for the same reason aluminum doesn't rust as such - they both form a passive oxide layer that prevents further oxidation. Anything that damages or destroys the passive...

We've been playing the Oregon Trail remake and a weird word game for switch and I've been trying to talk her into It Takes Two because I've heard it's specifically a good choice for that. When I first started playing RCG it was with a houseguest who's a nice guy but I'm glad he's gone - he was...

I'm aware, but 10 year old me who just got the game for the NES (and later would rent Super Dodgeball specifically because I recognized the art style in the screenshots on the box) would have had no idea that River City Ransom and Downtown Nekketsu Monogatari were the same thing. I didn't get...
