  • I don't think anybody's arguing about the necesiity of due process here, what with it being the point of the post. not from the comments I read, anyway.

    It's irresponsible to say "i think i read that he does have affiliation" when there is no documented evidence.

    there's a big difference between a proven gang member and a random person wearing a hoodie, and your statement blurs those lines.

  • thanks for the link, I've read his report.

    there is zero documented evidence even of gang affiliation, according to that FBI report.

    that is very important to note.

    clean record, no documented gang affiliation, wearing a hoodie, one CI allegedly said he has a nickname with no corroborating evidence.

    his gang affiliation would mean something if he had a gang affiliation, which he does not.

    it's only harmful to bring up an alleged affiliation when one does not exist.

  • "your silence is deafening."

    I responded to every single comment, even your fabrications and extrapolations, correcting your mistakes every time.

    I have no obligation to hold you by the hand here.

    if you want an answer, stop whining about how difficult questions are to ask and stop fabricating things.

    Respectfully and directly ask a question without misleading disclaimers or insults.

    if you just want to keep insulting and attempting to mislead me and rewrite my comments, I'm happy to indefinitely correct you and play the game.

  • F**k Amazon, part 2

  • "Do you not have eyes?"

    i do, I told you I just made sure the reasoning was still written out and publicly available, which it is.

    "structurally identical..."

    wow, your structures are identical with or without 20 disclaiming paragraphs of misattribution.

    no wonder you have such difficulty asking direct questions.

    "literally quoted every time you"

    you certainly haven't.

    " and you accused me of guessing. "

    nobody "accused" you, you said "i have to guess".

    and then you guessed.

    I pointed out that there is no point in guessing when you can ask direct questions.

  • F**k Amazon, part 2

  • "no option but to guess again"

    you are incorrect again, you should just try asking.

    you got your first answer last time by asking a direct question.

    "shouldn't be surprised"

    I'm definitely not surprised.

    "I go back to the fact that the only things you have mentioned is the fact that it's racist and that it shouldn't be used"

    not a fact, although not using a racist cartoon in favor of a not racist cartoon is certainly good reasoning.

    the full reasoning is explained above I think twice although I'm going check because it would be really - nope all the comments are still up there; for some reason you're pretending not to see them.

  • F**k Amazon, part 2

  • "is this not direct enough"

    disclaiming a question with 20 paragraphs of fabrication and misattribution is not "direct enough", no.

    "Let me try to find your reasoning."

    sure, why not keep guessing instead of asking directly?

    working out well for you so far.

    "So I see..."

    you assume.

    "if simply asking if your view is xyz"

    you should try this!

    maybe without all the misleading disclaimers.

    good luck.

  • F**k Amazon, part 2

  • "I'm asking what your reasoning is beyond there being some racist episodes"

    no you are not.

    "so I have to resort to guessing"

    no you don't, you can always ask directly rather than attempting to mislead the conversation and my reasoning first.

    "hiding the reasoning"

    my reasoning is very explicit, specific and publicly available above.

    you want to pretend it is not, that's your problem.

    "the record straight."

    my reasoning is very explicit, specific and publicly available above.

    your reading comprehension and fear of asking direct questions is your problem.

    "me of making false accusations without actually setting me correct."

    this is the proper way to deal with leading questions based on fabrications.

    if you want to ask a serious, direct question, try it without fabricating beforehand and then asking leading questions.

    dare ya.

  • F**k Amazon, part 2

  • "literally making the extrapolation in order to ask you if I understand correctly"

    there is no reason for you to fabricate, assume or extrapolate in order to ask if you understand something correctly.

    you are taking those extra steps so that you can repeat your false assumptions and extrapolations.

    but again, the record is above.

    "...trying to be charitable..."

    no you are not, you are repeating a false accusation so that your false questions look valid, despite their lack of foundation in the material.

    "trying to hear out your reasoning"

    my reasoning is very clearly laid out in the above comments.

    if there is something you genuinely don't understand, you can directly ask about those comments you don't understand without any attached assumptions or fabrications.

    don't make things up, stop extrapolating on the things you make up and ask a direct question.

    or take a hike.

  • F**k Amazon, part 2

  • "I'll lay it out..."

    and then you literally repeat your false assumption and extrapolation.

    again, not going to get you anywhere.

    you are either not reading or ignoring my comments before responding to them. all you have to do is read what you are writing carefully and what I wrote to find 1) your fabrication or 2) my very clear explanation and OPs admission of the racism that he and others are not bothered by, while I am.

    I'm not sure if you're looking for 1 or 2, although yes it does seem like you're just pretending not to understand either since both of them are written so clearly.

    if you actually have such severe trouble with reading comprehension and can only fixate on single sentences taken out of context:

    once you realize which part of your question you are fabricating that is not in my comments, as it is the foundation of your atgument, you'll notice how you're invalidating your own questions and argument.

  • F**k Amazon, part 2

  • "it doesn't logically follow...this frame..."

    of course it doesn't, that's something you made up.

    I don't need to clear anything up for your imaginary argument.

    "how i am... considering this...racist".

    very clearly laid out above, you're the only one pretending not to understand.

    you can keep trying to change what I said, but the public record is above so it ain't gonna work, Jack.

    Cool client, am I missing something obvious with quick actions? mine are missing despite showing up in the preview.

    in the preview I can see them under the post, I've added share and save, but on the actual posts in the feed on any layout, share and save are not in the quick action bar.

    do I have to enable something else also?

    thanks

    i was listening to louis Armstrong and was suggested Bumscratcher by Sheena Cassey. I'm perplexed and laughing out loud.

    this is bumscratcher; beef curtains is one of her other songs.

    all very new material, pretending to be a 60s lounge singer, does anyone know anything about cassey or unhinged records?

    in what order do you guys recommend watching the whole Ghost in the Shell narrative after the original movie(no spoilers please)?

    I really liked the original movie, I'm not interested at all in the live action, but there seem to be so many anime tv shows and movies that I'm at a loss where to start except hopping through chronologically by production.

    I'd like to avoid repeats, so I don't really care about ovas.

    I watched the original, I want to continue that story, but I have no idea if that's how the story goes in all the subsequent productions I'm seeing.

    so please without spoiling anything, explain which path I should take.

    YSK that if Americans live outside of the US for more than 330 days a year, they don't have to pay taxes on $125,000 of their income that year

    why: so the government won't be able to use your money for whatever the fuck they're planning for the next 4 years.

    as a traveler, none of my money has been funding Israel, for example.

    one-step method: you basically fill out one extra tax form called FEIE while you're doing your taxes, write down the dates you were outside of the country, and then since you aren't in the country and are not receiving any services from the US, you don't have to pay income tax up to a certain amount (it's a little over 125k this year).

    Ask Lemmy @lemmy.world
    Varyk @sh.itjust.works

    for US voters who didn't, why didn't you vote early through the mail?

    Just curious since it seems so much easier and less stressful during any election cycle to fill out a form and mail it in during your free time.

    Stovetop/shower/tub/ countertop/toilet stains? Toothpaste!

    I wanted my security deposit back but the tub was already orange and stained when we moved in.

    luckily, I knew the toothpaste trick.

    1. while whatever your cleaning is bone dry, squeeze a little toothpaste on the discolored area.
    2. spread it out with a disposable plastic glove or whatever, make sure that the toothpaste is rubbed in and touching all the discolored parts.
    3. wait an hour or four. waiting is optional, it just makes it easier to clean off later.
    4. use a damp cloth to clean off the toothpaste and the orange, yellow whatever stains from your tub, shower, countertop or toilet.
    5. repeat as needed, it won't take many applications to have your fixture looking new.

    any tile or anything with a glossy finish is fine to use toothpaste on, and the plastic shower and tubs are made out of is fine and won't be damaged.

    get that deposit back for the price of a tube of toothpaste.

    honorable mention:

    are you in 1999 and your CD keeps skipping?

    toothpaste!

    local question for Indians, where are all the premixed curries in the supermarket?

    Hello, I'm traveling in orissa right now and I'm looking for premixed curries i can buy to throw in a pot with water and make dinner with.

    I've met plenty of locals and asked a few about instant or pre-mixed curries, but they all say that there's no such thing as premixed curries in india.

    The strikes me as odd since instant curry is very common in every country with any sort of curry tradition I've been to and it seems like some company would have taken advantage of the market.

    am I asking the wrong question?

    I'm either not recognizing or haven't found any curry mixes yet.

    are they not called curry?

    should I be looking for something else?

    thanks

    I like a lot about the Marvels(2023), but does this movie have the worst CGI/set pieces of any Marvel movie?

    does anyone have any insight into this? actual behind the scenes knowledge?

    the sets either look like cheap plastic or ps3 graphics.

    It's very distracting and making it almost impossible for me to immerse myself in the story.

    It's very frustrating because I like the movie and the story and I think the actors are mostly doing a good job, kamala and her family are hilarious, but I can't get over how dog shit the CGI , editing and set pieces are.

    did anyone else notice this?

    and the budget was 220 million. it was huge, I can't understand why the effects and set pieces are so terrible.

    a small example: when captain Marvel "changes" her clothes in the singing Palace, her entire wardrobe is clearly changed off screen, she's already wearing her new costume when the camera switches back to her and there are literal like 1970s cartoon Disney sparkles floating around her for a second to imply that she morphed her costume?

    have Marvel movies always looked this ridiculous? I feel like 10

    great VA clip from S1

    I tried to find one with Ashley burch since I think she was the voice of computer bot lady in the pilot episode?

    but it was a lot of work, relatively, for the internet, so I didn't.

    Tempbot! right?

    oh, I think the borders of my B+P memory are just hazy enough that I can justify watching the show again.

    That's very exciting.

    Updated garlic peeling lifehack for garlic dip after testing

    Thank you [email protected] community!

    tldr: baking/steaming garlic in the peel is the clear winner for volume clove peeling.

    Crushing is the winner for a couple cloves in a stir-fry, root end cut is obviously better for garlic chips.

    The last garlic peeling post had so many good suggestions that I decided to trial each of them at least a few times with fresh/older bulbs of different shapes and sizes.

    One method worked in any situation.

    For peeling as many cloves as you want, each technique had some major cons except for the final, winning method put forward by @[email protected] !

    The results were:

    Smashing -

    pros: easy, classic technique. usually works.

    cons: peel can get stuck inside a smash, you still have to pull off the peel, occasionally the peel is still stuck to the skin, cloves are damaged.

    Slicing off root end and pee
