It’s about plates and sql injection.

And (by how I understood it) the point of the I1I1 plate was that it wasn’t easily discernible and the camera couldn’t identify it correctly to link it to the owner, but the police knew who it was nonetheless because it’s always the same guy that already got caught. I might be wrong though, it’s just a funny comic and isn’t probably meant to be looked into that deeply.

“He had it coming,” says Christopher Null, a journalist who has written previously for WIRED about the challenges his last name presents.

This is peak nottheonion material

You also have to “change facts” to have the Bobby Tables xkcd apply here, because this is about plates and not children.

It doesn’t have to apply 100% to be a relevant xkcd, they just posted it because, like op’s pic, it’s about a person trying to be clever by messing with speed cameras, but everyone would know whose fault is it the second time it happens because of how weird the plate is.

Your one obviously applies more, but there’s no need to gatekeep.

Pretty sure Life Expectancy and Literacy Rate are both higher in 2024 than in 2004, whether you look at US or Worldwide statistics.

Most of the other metrics aren’t really measurable, and while I agree with some of those, you definitely didn’t factcheck before writing.

Well yeah, some feminists suck. That had little to do with their comment though.

I can’t see that without a kbin account. This is how it shows up in Lemmy instances. If the difference is so big and it’s a federation issue as well there has to be some manipulating going on, pretty much every reply to his comment is pointing out how unnecessarily aggressive they were to feminism as a whole.

Oh, you mean the comment that got removed by mods, doesn’t show up in the thread, and is at a -24 score looking at it from their profile? Modlog shows it’s been removed 2 days ago so it wasn’t even up when you started commenting. Not sure how did you even find it, definitely not just by “looking at the second page”.

But absolutely, this thread is a setup and one removed and heavily downvoted comment out of 200+ is definitely proof.

EDIT: I see you’re from kbin so I’m guessing it was a federation error not syncing the mod action. Still, unless kbin doesn’t show downvotes, it should be pretty clear it was far from a popular opinion anyway.

This is the only comment in the thread with the word “shitbag”. And there is only one upvoted top comment who even mentions feminists, saying “There is a lot (of) feminism that really just amounts to men-hating”. Coincidentally, from a trans girl praising a woman.

Really, I don’t get where those “bigoted MRA types that hate all women” are supposed to be in this thread.

this thread is quickly becoming just the usual whinging from the bigoted MRA types that hate all women.

Where, exactly? Is pointing out men have issues that get ignored (by women and men alike) equal to hating women? Because in 200+ comments i’ve seen maybe 3 or 4 actually hating on women.

It’s one of the most upvoted threads on the Fediverse

Not really…? It’s far from even being top 300.

Plus, I’m guessing it was an exaggeration. Obviously men get sympathy from a lot of people, but what happened to him shows it’s nowhere nearly enough (at least at the time, in that area).

“Every time there’s discussion about women’s issues there’s men who try to divert it to their problems and that’s annoying, therefore women should do the same thing so that men get annoyed too”.

Is that really how you want this to work? An eye for an eye?

I mean, there still is justice to be sought. It’s just that now what’s left is REALLY hard to change (women’s rights outside the first world, prejudices, internalized misogyny etc.), and so an increasingly big amount of feminists focus on bringing men down because that’s easier.

If we defederate after the second step of EEE it still won’t save us from the third one.

However, if someone posts “Karl Marx is great” or “Communism makes sense” or “capitalism is bad”, you’ll probably see a defederation before the enter key is hit. (Hexbear).

Uhh… !aboringdystopia@lemmy.world is literally “CAPITALISM BAD” on a constant basis and it’s one of the most upvoted communities on the instance. And I don’t think Marx is the one people actually have an issue with, it’s more all the idolization of Stalin, Putin, Mao, Xi and the rest of the gang.

On Reddit it was actually a block that forbid people from seeing, or commenting on your stuff.

That led to people spreading fake news and blocking people who pointed them out, so that they couldn’t get reported on following ones.

It sucked. It’s much better like this.

I don’t think AI is at risk of going communist any time soon.

Well, it has no concept of capital, “takes” stuff without paying and makes free stuff for everyone without discrimination.

The companies making them might be capitalistic, but AI in a vacuum seems pretty communist to me.

Yeah, I know, that’s weird. I’m on browser and sometimes it happens here too.

Oh I missed “stuff like” in your comment, sorry.

Don’t want to sound too “Acktually”-ish, but usually the father of the genre is considered Alice in Wonderland, which pre-dates both.
