Not a fan of using a school shooter as a meme format

[–] [email protected] 23 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I wouldn’t have known had you not said this. Never saw this image before.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 2 months ago

I didn't know until just now either. I actually assumed this was from that Making a Murderer documentary.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago

Do you think people use it because they don't know it's origin?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

Well he's not actively shooting so it is ok

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

yeah, thats kinda not good. i didn't know what the guy did, i saw a couple of scenes where he tried to plead insanity to get out of his responsibillity. thank you for bringing this up.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago (2 children)

I don't know how it is in the USA but here pleading insanity is not a way to "get out of your responsibility", it can actually be a risky move because you are at risk of being imprisoned for the rest of your life. While a normal life sentence normally isn't a life sentence.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Generally people who fake insanity are facing the death penalty instead of a life sentence.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

Alright. Then I fully support it. No one deserves to die by the death penalty.

They do, and I'm tired of pretending I'm not

I turned my tab habit into a bookmark habit. Equally useful (ie not very), but far less messy.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Bookmarks are too permanent. Tabs are for things I'm interested in but don't really care about (and so I'll probably never get back to). I use different windows for different types of things, so it's organized. I just have an alias to kill Firefox when I want to game.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

Creating and deleting bookmarks is simple. You're just lazy.

And that's OK; it's a victimless as a crime gets. Just own it.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

Oh I own it. I don't have an issue with taking the lower effort option. I also like that they go away easily when I close the window.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

yeah IDK how the fuck tabs overtook bookmarks as the way to save websites. i got into the bookmarking before tabs were even a thing. seeing people with 6 year old tabs amongst the thousands makes me dizzy. there's so so much better of a way...

I'm the opposite. I'm a compulsive window and tab closer. I say I regret closing a tab or window about 30% of the time.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Ctrl+Shift+T to reopen the tab!

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Alright let me do that

Ctrl+Shift+T

Ctrl+Shift+T

Ctrl+Shift+T

Ctrl+Shift+T

Ah dang it I must've used that tab to search for something else. Oh well

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago (3 children)

Ctrl+H to open history then!

Emotional support tabs

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago (2 children)

...I closed 1500 tabs a couple weeks ago...

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago (4 children)

Each tab must have been one micron wide, how did you even expect to be able to click on a specific one in the future with that many open - wait, I think I've answered my own question.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago (5 children)

They have a minimum width and then you can scroll

I hate having any more tabs open than I absolutely need. Right now, I have none. I'm probably gonna either fire up a YouTube video or find someone to watch on Twitch here in a minute, at which point I'll have one tab open. I'm not gonna say exactly how much RAM I have, but I have as much RAM as my motherboard will take, so I can definitely afford to open more than one tab. I just don't see any reason to, frankly, and it drives me up the wall.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Why so secretive of your ram?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Okay, fine. I have 192 GB of RAM.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago

You could handle at least 5 chrome tabs with that.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago (6 children)

Oh wowwww. Look at mr/mrs bigshot over here with 192 GB of ram.

I closed 2000 tabs today. That leaves me with the extremely small number of 4000 tabs. Yeah I use Firefox sync. 😎

Demon. Voice. Aaaah

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Sometimes I go back to the tabs and finish what I was doing on that page.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

Yes, and I absolutely need the same tab three or four+ times. It helps with navigation and not having to remember positions in the 70+ stack of tabs where something is.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Isn't that the school shooter kid that tried to evade prison time on the account of being criminally insane? Idiot faked "hearing voices" and suicidal thoughts and did so badly at that. The whole interview is a cringefest.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago (2 children)

What pretending to be crazy looks like, from our favorite channel JCS - Criminal Psychology.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (2 children)

While I believe that video has merit, I'd like to bring attention to münecat's essay on it (and other "body language" vids), because there is chance Jim's analysis is not accurate https://youtu.be/Y0VQyEY-B2I

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

To criticize this critique: The JCS video encourages the watcher to form their own opinion and highlights the farces that that murderer pulled off. The interpretation given in that scene was clearly their own opinion and that was, in fact, communicated even if it was not expressively written in the description. It was merely a commentary on the oddity of the situation.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

my brother in christ none of this stuff is a hard science, it's literally all done by feel.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Exactly. Binged all of their videos, they are actually informative and well-researched. But the topic is not appealing to advertisers, so YouTube had to bully them off the site.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I'm just going to rec some good creators that filled the void.

Matt Orchard probably has the highest quality content. Strong recommendation for him.

Dreading. Seems Intentionally dry but covers the most details of a case. Sometimes posting 4 hours of courtroom footage.

Explore with Us. Probably the most tabloid style presentation and worst editorial takes. They have the longest chunks of police interrogation though. They have alt channels for body cam stuff too which is pretty dope.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

Thanks, only knew Explore with Us from this list. I'll check out the others!
