Are you guys talking about the rapist who now goes by Allen Turner to avoid his reputation as the rapist Brock Turner?

A police officer recently got scared by a falling acorn thinking it was a gunshot. He then mag dumped dozens of rounds into his own squad car thinking it was the man he had in custody (handcuffed, searched for weapons already, and trapped inside).

Luckily he struck with police precision. Meaning he missed every single shot and the guy was unharmed physically. Now he quit his job due to public ridicule.

This meme jokes by extending the conspiracy theories around Taylor swift to include dropping the acorn.

If you’re willing to commit outright fraud, lots of crime is easy. But also the penalty for ever being discovered can be severe.

They also didn’t deny it happened. They would check logs before paying out.

Oh honey it’s not real

Energy is a global market.

If gas prices increase sufficiently where the pipeline gas is consumed, some suppliers that supply the UK may consider rerouting gas supply to capture the increased price and profit. This means less supply for the UK which increases prices there also until there’s a balance. Higher prices mean people will use less gas until the supply in each area is enough to meet demand.

Agree with this. Also the US is definitely not monocultural either, despite the desires of our loudest countrymen.

Unfortunately I think most Lemmy early adopters are highly correlated to people who have their personal finances in order.

Most people don’t drive 300 miles a day

Where is the per state data? I’m interested

It turns out climate change is bad for business. Better shut them up because the oil lobbyists say we’ll be fine.

Not the asshole. 20 and 17 are old enough to handle adult situations and information. If you didn’t tell them, they’d be left wondering.

And they’d probably never stop asking.

And wonder who the new man is whose around moms place…
