How would legal procedure change if every citizen eligible for jury duty was aware of jury nullification? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world
[–] throwawayacc0430@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 hour ago

Jurors would weight in feelings over facts.

Which means, yes, Mangione gets acquitted.

But also possibly acquitals the when a cop murders someone, or when a group of white men chases down an unarmed black man and shoots him.

Possibly even some mass shooters, if they were white, because they'd be viewed as a "troubled youth" rather than a cold hearted killer.

Nullification goes both ways.

And if the accused is someone the jurors don't like, its possible, with the idea of nullification in mind, they'd be more willing to just overlook the facts and convict based on "gut feeling".

Because, what adding nullification to the jury instructions is doing, is that you are instructing the jurors to become not just the finder of facts but also the finder of law.

I avoid approaching women in public because I believe it's inappropriate. My parents say that it's a necessary skill. Who is right? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

school

I thought people said college was the right time to date and have relationships?

I mean as long as its student-student and not professor-student, its fine, right? Or did people teach me wrong?

Anyone else notice a lack of Cinco de Mayo celebration this year? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

I expect Chinese New Year celebrations to go down too once they start ramping up the "CCP Spy" Sinophobic rhetoric.

It'd be like the red scare all over again, except this time the Russians already won, and is now... in a proxy war with China via the US?

So now:
Russian agent in the white house = good?
But every Chinese American is now a spy, even with zero proof whatsoever?

What the fuck is going on lol? This Simulation is broken

Maybe its due to the latestagecapitalism.exe virus has been infecting "earth" gameservers? Which would explain the missing serotonin.dll files in some player characters, which causes the "depression" debuff, and thus fucking up their sleepcycle.sys process.

You remember your entire life, and the last thing you remember is going to sleep at home, then the next thing you know is you wake up to a dead body next to you.

  • For simplicity, let's assuming this is your country, in some random rural area
  • The dead person has a kitchen knife plunged into their chest, blood is still fresh
  • The dead person is a random stanger, you've never met them, they are just a random average (non-famous) person
  • There is no one else in the house
  • You have a tiny bit of blood on your clothes, but not a lot, you are unsure of whose blood it is
  • You have no injuries
  • You were never drugged or anything, you just happen to mysteriously, spontaneously get teleported there, while sleeping. You went to sleep on your bed and just woke up only to find yourself in this scenario. (Bloodtests will show nothing)
  • You wake up right in the morning, at sunrise
  • There is electricity and running water, small amounts of food in the refrigerator, enough for maybe a day
  • You don't have any items with you, not your phone, nothing beside the clothes you slept with (if any). There are clothing in this house belonging to the dead person
  • There only electronics devices (besides appliances) in the house is the dead person's smartphone, in their pockets (no lockscreen codes or anything), and a laptop (no password). This house has wifi.
  • This house does not have any security cameras.
  • There is a car in the driveway, belonging to the dead person. No other vehicles, no bikes or anything like that.
  • Nobody (yet) knows this person is dead. They live alone.

So, would you think that you did the murder, and just turn yourself in; or assume someone set you up and try to escape? How would you escape this scenario and avoid prison?

Remember, this is a rural area, not that many cameras.

So do you make a run for it? How?

Or do you just call the authorities and hope you don't get charged with the murder? Very awkward interrogation tho, nobody would believe you. I doubt "I don't remember how I got there" is a strong defence.

What is your "game plan"?

The debated would've been hillarious in the other timeline. In this timeline, this is just so idiotic and depressing, absolutely unreal how it even happens. If this were in the plot of a movie/tv, I would just turn it off since its so unrealistic.

I'm wondering if everything I see is just a simulation.

Especially the korean song thingy singed by a child-sounding voice. Feel so weird since its a mixture of childhood, which is supposed to make you feel safe, but the its juxtaposed with the blood everywhere making the whole scene so... I can't even find the word for it... absurd? ironic? bewildering?

The dub is just terrible. If you only wstched the dub, you're missing out on so much of the emotions embedded in the voice/dialogue.

If someone is described as "good at something", in your opinion how good is that person at this activity? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world
[–] throwawayacc0430@sh.itjust.works 5 points 20 hours ago

Above 50-percentile in comparison to others who also participate in that subject/hobby/activity, but usually below the 90-percentile, because then they'd not be described as "good", but "great"

Do y'all just have an existential crisis all the time? (sh.itjust.works)
 

I keep thinking about stuff like:

  • The fact that there are galaxies I won't be able to visit (because I'd be dead before humanity goes interstellar)
  • The face that my childhood sucked and I could never really experince a normal childhood again in this lifetime (feeling of "nostalgia")
  • The fact that there are secrets the government is hiding that the average civillian will never be able to know (fear of "missing out")
  • We may never discover the true nature / true origin of the universe (at least, not in my lifespan)
  • Not knowing if the world is even real (as in, simulation theory, solipcism)
  • There would be Movies and TV shows I wont be able to experience (fear of missing out)
  • There were technology that I never got to experience "in the moment": telegraphs, black and white tv, radios, old gaming devices, etc... (I mean yes, they still exist, but its not the same as experiencing it in that time period). To be clear, I still prefer current and future technology, but I just want to go back in time for like a week to check things out like it was back then, then come back, you get what I'm saying?

I can't ever just stop thinking and relax. My brain is so fucked.

This isn't like a "phase", this has been my life for years. Constant non-stop thoughts. 😓

Google requires me to find a "verification code" from my android device in order to log in; the device in question has already been wiped (factory reset). (sh.itjust.works)
 

There are no other options. This is even more stupid than the phone number verification thing. Attemping to logging to Google Play Store on that wiped device (which previously was logged in to the account) doesn't work either.

Luckily, this is a throwaway account, not much data of value was lost. FRP on the wiped device was also off.

But like, what is the point of this. Suppose, my phone got stolen. How am I supposed to log in to Google to initiate a remote wipe, if it ask for a verification code which is on the phone that the thief has?

Zero logic at all. 🤦‍♂️

Edit: And MFA was never enabled. Just to clarify.

When society completely transitions to cash-less, what happens when the power goes down? End of the world? (sh.itjust.works)
 

I mean, it kinds seems inevitable to me. Books has become e-books. Cash is becoming digital transfers. China has done it. The west is mostly doing card-swipes. One day, that transition will be complete, and cash would be phased out.

What happens then? Think like the power outage in Spain recently. Some people had cash. But in 20-40 years. There might not even be any cash in existence. What then?

What if, instead of a few hours, its a few days? Or weeks?

I guess riots break out all around the world?

(Seriously, has none of the politicians ever thought about this? Where are the backups? Are we just going full "YOLO" on the reliance on the power grid?)

What are some Movies/TV shows that you initially didn't like (and perhaps even quit watching), but then end up liking it? (sh.itjust.works)
 

For me:

-The Expanse - The beginning was confusing AF and the politics didn't make sense and seemed boring, so I quit. But then eventually after like a year or two, went to reddit and it was recommended again, so I just read some light spoilers and that helped me got through the first season. And then it has been an intriguing and thrilling journey.

Does the average person have no critical thinking? (sh.itjust.works)
 

I don't know about y'all, but if I grew up in a country that never has the news criticizing its leaders, I'd be very skepical and deduce that there is censorshop going on and the offical news could be exaggerated or entirely falsified. Do people in authoritarian countries actually just eat the propaganda? To what extent do they believe the propaganda?

"If its on the internet, it's out there forever" is simultaneously true and false... (sh.itjust.works)
 

If the government is willing to spend the effort to investigate, they'll find that deleted comment you posted 10 years ago criticizing the government.

But if you want to find your lost files after your cloud account gets suspended for vague "ToS Violations", I hope you have a backup, because good luck trying to get the cloud provider to send you a copy of your files.

It might be out there, but not for you.

Unless you convince a government to try and get it for you. 🤔

How exactly are people supposed to "be honest" with their therapist, when they type their notes into a computer system? (sh.itjust.works)
 

Especially considering the fact that your country's politics could change in the future.

Going on an honest rant against the regime seems very dangerous.

You can have a face-to-face conversation with a friend, but how do you do that if you want to talk to a therapist? No therapist is gonna make an exemption and leave their phone in another room, not to mention, they literally write their notes into the computer system, instead of on paper.

And with lawyers? I just read about how Luigi Mangione's conversation with his lawyer is being unlawfully recorded. How do you even have a conversation with your lawyer if you are in custody and they could just hide recoding devices all around the jail?

Sure, maybe they can't use the evidence in court, but they could just leak an out-of-context audio clip to the press to win the "court of public opinion".

This question is common throughout the internet, but I'd like to see Lemmy's response.

The country you end up in would be random, you don't get to pick.
