I have lemmy set to show me a thumbnail and only expand when I tap, so I saw the message before I saw the bunnies.

Look kids! Big Ben! Parliament!

I won’t tell if you won’t tell.

If I understood, I wouldn’t have to ask.

Yes, but if they’re just minimums, there’s no need for even using the third dimension, let alone the fourth.

I do.

So the fifth person to arrive moves to the centre of the tetrahedron and shifts roughly 1.299m into the past or future.

I have a few questions.

1. How do you attain time offset?
2. Doesn’t that make conversation difficult?
3. What even is the fifth dimension?
4. How do you convert a distance in metres into a distance in time? You would surely then have a universal m/s? Oh, wait, there is a universal speed, it’s the speed of light, which means 1.299m is equivalent to about 4.3 billionths of a second, which is considerably less impressive for question 1 and just not at all problematic for question 2.
5. If you’re using very fast motion for your time offset, doesn’t that make conversation even more difficult? How fast would you need to be going to dilate time for a few billionths of a second? Doesn’t Heisenberg uncertainty start to have an impact here? How can you be sure you got it right?

It’s not a square based pyramid, it’s a triangular based pyramid. Imagine the top right hand one floating up onto the air and moving to hover above the centre of the other three (which move to make an equalateral triangle). The distances work but the layout changes.

Me: To be fair, you’d have to be pretty stupid to do that with your vehicle.

Also me: Having said that, you’d have to be pretty stupid to buy a wankpanzer in the first place.

She showed her true colours immediately. Didn’t care about the people in the team.

That sounds really really nice.

No, the courts absolutely couldn’t save you, that’s exactly what suspension of habeas corpus means - habeas corpus means that if you’re imprisoned, it can be challenged in the courts by you or someone else. If you lose habeas corpus, no one can challenge anyone’s imprisonment legally. It removes the right to trial. Your right to a trial if you’re imprisoned is called habeas corpus.

Ah OK. I offer a choice of two follow up questions for you: either question 1. Then would you consider yourself aromantic or asexual or both or neither, or question 2. Who is your favourite character from any game or film, and what do you like about them or their story?

Yep. And the Conservative Party of the UK who held the referendum to put the issue to sleep and unite the party have never been so divided and has just had its worst election result in history whilst arch Brexiteer Nigel Farage has his best. It’s stupid self harm to entertain this kind of nonsense, even from a Conservative viewpoint.

Hate rules America.

Happy birthday for yesterday.

Who is your secret celebrity crush?

Love the $10Bn Boeing procurement in small print in the corner! 🇬🇧

This sentence could land you in prison for life if they go ahead with “suspending” habeas corpus. Remember folks, if your detention cannot be challenged legally, it doesn’t matter AT ALL whether your detention was legal. If you think they’ll never come for you, you’re forgetting that they’ll rely on the volunteer army of MAGA “informers” who will turn you in for treason because you annoyed them by being kind to someone they were bullying or something completely trivial. Without habeas corpus, suspicion is sentencing.

Exactly this.

First they came for the immigrants, but I did not speak out, because I was not an immigrant.
Then they came for the students who protested Israel, but I did not speak out, because I was not a student, and I did not protest.
Then they came for the Hispanics, but I did not speak out, because I was not Hispanic.
Then they came for the trans people, but I did not speak out, because I was not trans.
Then they came for the gay people, but I did not speak out, because I was not gay.
Then they came for the Muslims, but I did not speak out, because I was not Muslim.
Then they came for the people claiming benefits, but I did not speak out, because I did not claim benefits.

Before all of this, they came for the black people who smoked a little weed, or shouted at cops who were shouting at them, and they locked them up and made them work for nothing or a nearly nothing wage, in prisons that profit from people who suffer for skin that’s not pink and parents who were poor.

And when I asked my neighbour to not let his dog poop on my lawn, and he informed the authorities that I was disloyal to the president, they came for me, and my wife, and my children, and there was no one to speak out for me, and no one to defend me and no one to care because we had all run out of care, tired of turning our eyes from the despotic travesty of everything America was supposed to not be.

By “customers”, they mean schools and colleges, and by “data”, they mean full legal names, dates of birth and educational results of thousands of children.
