Idk what funnier, ads about truck in fuckcars, ads about truck in a post about hitting others with car, or ads about the truck brand Ram in a post about ramming others and walk free.

[–] Ziglin@lemmy.world 17 points 6 days ago

Or the fact that there even are ads…

[–] spankmonkey@lemmy.world 5 points 6 days ago

The last one is the finniest by far.

Sadly without the funny ads.

Did Dragons Fucking Cars make the move over?

[–] Rusty@lemmy.ca 13 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Be the change you wish to see in the world.

[–] Ziglin@lemmy.world 9 points 6 days ago

Yes but no please don't.

[–] Johanno 5 points 6 days ago

I don't think so

Some communities could be empty if no one from your instance is subscribed.

That's how ActivityPub optimizes the running cost. Otherwise it would be to expensive for instances to download all the data.

[–] Neon@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago

I really don't get why instances effectively duplicate the entire fediverse.

your client is bugging, there are around 6 posts

What have you done to my palace

[–] pedz@lemmy.ca 52 points 6 days ago (2 children)

Yep. He could have been driving an F-150, bump over the sidewalk, drive over the CEO, then said "ooh, sorry, I didn't see him, he must have been wearing headphones or something", and it would probably have been a valid defensible position for the system.

[–] bokherif@lemmy.world 28 points 6 days ago

If he got rid of all the BS they found on him, nothing would stick

[–] Wrufieotnak 9 points 6 days ago

Then we would need to know how many CEOs you need to "not see" before somebody connects some dots...

Many years ago I saw a report on an elderly woman that killed a bunch of people sitting on one of those concrete benches at a bus stop in Florida (of course). Apparently, she never hit the brakes. Only the resistance of the bodies, concrete bench and building beyond, stopped the car. She was essentially charged with a traffic violation. And it turns out this wasn't the first time she had done something like this. This was literally decades ago so I don't know if or how the laws have changed but I remember thinking at the time, if you want to get rid of someone and get away with it, that's the way to do it.

He's not richer than the other guy so he'd be in jail either way

Life without the possibility of parole. They're full of shit, if you do it deliberately it's no different to any other weapon.

[–] optissima@lemmy.ml 16 points 6 days ago (2 children)

Your example is weak because they did a hate crime, which this would not have been. Do you have a better one?

[–] Ilovethebomb@lemm.ee 2 points 5 days ago (1 children)

My point is, you don't get away with killing someone just because you used a car to do so, and I think that proves my point.

Feel free to come up with some evidence of your own.

[–] optissima@lemmy.ml 2 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Getting away is not the point, the point is a lighter sentence.

[–] Ilovethebomb@lemm.ee 2 points 4 days ago

the point is a lighter sentence

Didn't work for the example above, did it?

[–] SanctimoniousApe@lemmings.world 0 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Well, technically this seems to have been a hate crime as well - just not of a "protected class" (which I'm sure is a "shortcoming" of the law that they'll get "addressed").

[–] optissima@lemmy.ml 4 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Technically, hate crimes consist of crime because of innate properties of an individual (+religion), which again this isn't. No doubt they'll codify something special for the rich soon, but still not a hate crime.

[–] SanctimoniousApe@lemmings.world 2 points 5 days ago (1 children)

It's that religion exception that belies the idea that it's solely about qualities of a person that they have no control over. Beliefs are beliefs, regardless if they're related to religion or capitalism.

[–] zarkanian@sh.itjust.works 2 points 5 days ago (1 children)

"Capitalist" isn't a protected class, and I don't think that hate crime legislation is very strong in the US in any case.

[–] SanctimoniousApe@lemmings.world 1 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (1 children)

I'm aware it's not a protected class - that was the point of my initial comment. But your rebuttal implied "hate crimes" were defined as those based upon properties of a person they had no control over - with a major caveat for religion as well. My point was if you can include something a person chooses to believe as an additional exception, then that opens up an extremely wide swath of possible exceptions.

Don't get me wrong - I'm not arguing against the inclusion of religion, just saying that the inclusion can be used to crowbar in any number of other "classes" to be protected as well simply because they're based upon beliefs.

[–] zarkanian@sh.itjust.works 0 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I'm a different commenter.

Makes no difference to my point.

It's pretty strange… Love the username, though.

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

They used to defend universalmonk, judge them by that

[–] AA5B@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago (2 children)

if you do it deliberately it's no different to any other weapon.

Of course but at least there’s the possibility of it being an accident. Absent other proof, such as that possession of a manifesto, you can quite possibly get away with it

On the other hand there’s no way to spin as an accident that you walked up behind someone and shot them

[–] Ilovethebomb@lemm.ee 2 points 5 days ago

It would be a difficult argument to make if you ran them over on the sidewalk though.

It's not the weapon, it's the plausible deniability.

[–] trolololol@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago

What do you mean, isn't guns like play things for everyone starting age 3?

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 9 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (3 children)

Ew... Why is there an ad on Lemmy in the first place? What client are you using?

[–] 8uurg@lemmy.world 30 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Looks like this is reddit, using /r and all.

This looks like the official Reddit ~~ad distribution platform~~app.

OP should use RedReader instead.

I thought the exact same thing until I remembered Reddit has a similar community. I literally grimaced when I saw them.

[–] humanspiral@lemmy.ca 6 points 5 days ago

There was a new regulation a couple of months ago that make that RAM truck illegal (to make in future) because that design will murder people good. As a pedestrian/cyclist you want to roll over hood instead of being pulverized to the ground to be run over afterwards.

"Brake Malfunction" Oopsie

😉

Or distraction caused by a topless "wardrobe malfunction" - the source of which disappeared into the crowd & will never be found.

I'll admit - if there was any way to convince me to get a truck that big, this might be it
