It is basically when someone is doing something illegal and stupid, but isn’t thinking about it killing someone. Then accidentally kills someone.

Voluntary manslaughter is then when you do something that you know will kill a person, but for some reason it isn’t murder.

For lots (most?) laws, ignorance isn’t an excuse… even though the specific charge may change.

This seems like a good place for a charity… although the cost isn’t just a bus ticket but also probably temporary housing/income as well.

Shit. I just realized I’m suggesting a refugee agency for US states.

Yeah. I often type out a comment. The. Realize I really don’t want to be bother by this person’s adhoc reply… then just delete it.

Exactly. In a world where people at a big steak dinner once a week, you’d see a similar result.

I’ve worked on payment systems. It is very hard to federate unless something like Stripe is used for actual payment.

Credit card companies simply won’t interface with you unless you prove their data is safe. It isn’t a process that scales well.

Brick and mortar companies get around this by having payment terminals which are insanely locked down. (Which is also why those terminals mostly suck)

This. Unless your use/purchase directly supports something you disagree with, people shouldn’t be worried so much. Companies and organizations are huge. They are all going to contain shitty people.

If you are on the internet, you have no choice but to indirectly supporting shitty people.

If you are worried about that do actual politics, not this ‘you eat ChikFilA you monster’ type shit.0

I don’t think moms realize this can go the other way. When I was a kid I learned to just never mention any girl’s name, regardless of the reason.

I love it in theory… but it just broke so many websites I needed to use. And not always in obvious ways.

And blast the whole planet with radiation? Are you crazy?

The percentage of trucks on the left I see actually doing that is functionally 0%

Sending the JavaScript to do this literally uses more electricity than this saves.

I like it; it feels like a vaccine for clickbait thumbnails…. Because everything becomes a clickbait thumbnail, so your mind just ignores it.
