If there’s any justice in this world, Israel will be a pariah state within my lifetime.

Embiggening statement.

This is by design. Carlin

Very nice. I love the mini-rack format.

Hey Russia. I want drugs and sex. Right here.

Israeli monsters continue to be monsters. Once the boomers are gone, maybe we can try them for war crimes.

I thought tariffs are a tax on other countries that they have to pay? And even if that’s wrong, it’s wrong for companies to raise prices when goods become more expensive. /s

Hopes that Trump’s visit might bring renewed progress on truce talks in Gaza were dashed after Trump reiterated his desire to turn Gaza into a “freedom zone”. This was seen as a likely nod to his plan of the US assuming control over the Palestinian territory and turning it into the “riviera of the Middle East”.

Barbaric fucking savages murdering civilians. There’s hope: once the boomers die off, generations younger than them have far less tolerance for what Israel is doing. They will be a pariah state in my lifetime.

All the poor baby vampire sperms dying on her back!

Struggled with this when I landed a certain job where everyone had degrees and I didn’t. Flipped it because my getting there through self-taught knowledge was more impressive. Fuck everyone, I deserve to be where I am.

You know what? I’m convinced. If the mother of a rapist pedo doesn’t want to forgive student loans, she’s probably right about government policy. In fact, she should run for office. /s

An Oklahoma man accused of sneaking into a teenage girl’s bedroom in the middle of the night in Battlefield and then raping and assaulting her was sentenced on Friday, Jan. 24 to 20 years in prison.

Patrick Shane Sparkman, 41, entered Alford pleas of guilty to the charges of first-degree rape and first-degree sodomy. As part of the plea agreement, prosecutors dropped one count of sodomy, two counts of molestation of a child between the ages of 4 and 17, one count of enticement of a child and one count of third-degree assault.

According to online court records, Greene County Judge Kaiti Greenwade sentenced Sparkman to 10 years for the rape charge and 10 years for the sodomy charge and ordered those sentences be served consecutively.

An Alford plea under Missouri law means a defendant does not admit they committed a crime, but admits prosecuting attorneys have enough evidence against them that a court could reasonably convict them of a crime.

Charging documents described Sparkman as someone who’d been living in Battlefield at the time of the assault on Dec. 31, 2023, but had few ties to the area. He was arrested on March 29, 2024.

According to the probable cause statement used to charge Sparkman, he “claimed he had no memory of the event ever happening. He stated he had been drinking heavily during the day which amounted to what he described was a ‘handle’ of alcohol.”

A handle of liquor is a 1.75 liter bottle of liquor; it has 39 1.5-ounce shots in it.

The victim told police the assault lasted about two hours. She also told police she told Sparkman “no” several times and that Sparkman at one point choked her.

The probable cause statement says the investigating officer contacted the Stillwater, Oklahoma, police department about a “past rape charge” against Sparkman and obtained information that case involved a 10-year-old victim.

Sparkman is from Oklahoma and has no ties to Battlefield, according to court documents.

Sparkman remains in the Greene County Jail awaiting transport to a Missouri Department of Corrections prison.

It’s the city not the game.

Maybe Lemmy has a decent amount of users who are more inclined to nerd stuff like Linux and frisbee? I don’t care for sports or cars or other “cool” dude stuff. But I love computers and books and frisbee (which I don’t get to throw nearly enough). This just got me thinking. I’m gonna actively try to get some friends together to toss the bee. In my forties. Like we were in our teens. Thanks for inspiring me.

Oh noez! You did a stupid thing with your stupid hobby and didn’t check the output and then a bad thing happened?! How could anyone have known this might happen? Whatever…

Never been a thing between me and my parents. I’m sure they want me to be in a happy relationship, but they’ve never pressured me. I assume those that do are influenced by social norms or some such peer pressure.

I laughed more than this deserves.

All but knitting and gaming. And gaming happens sometimes. I wish I could be drinking cat all weekend without Monday being a disaster.

Feddit.org should put my balls in its mouth. And tongue my asshole.

Guess who I support? Palestinians who just want to exist. Same for all marginalized people.

he might be stupid and think these llms work better than they actually do.

There it is.
