RedditWanderer@lemmy.worldto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Why is Jury Nullification a Thing, But You Can’t Talk About It in Court?313·3 months agoThis is a much better answer than the current top post.
RedditWanderer@lemmy.worldto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•The human hand is incredibly good at seeing what's inside your pocket53·3 months agoYour tongue is also super tactile. We spend most of our toddler years discovering this.
You can look at anything around you, anything, and your brain knows exactly what it would be like to lick it, even if you’ve never done it before. Taste, texture, residue etc… it’s quite freaky
Oh and my thighs are really good at imagining my phone just buzzed.
RedditWanderer@lemmy.worldto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•I don't want to enhance my productivity4·3 months agoThat’s the only difference between a dictatorship and a democracy. A dictatorship can run with dying illiterate slaves and still make a lot of money (see Elons Dad’s small loan of one emerald mine). In a democracy the money comes from the productivity of the citizens. That’s the only reason you get highways, schools, hospitals…
So they started out by making us more productive by giving a ton of amenities to the boomers. But now they need more, so they are cutting back on things that make us productive, while demanding we be more productive.
We should just eat the rich.
RedditWanderer@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•how do I tell my boss that I am not studying for a certification he wants me to get in my own time?77·3 months agoNot just downtime. There should be room for training.
Employers aren’t obligated to invest in you, but then you know how much you should invest in them.
RedditWanderer@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•how do I tell my boss that I am not studying for a certification he wants me to get in my own time?211·3 months agoThis is ridiculous and not how most places function. Education benefits your employer and they get a ton of tax cuts and incentives. They even try to make you do it on your own time and get benefits like you had done it on their time. Don’t let them.
Obviously they can cause trouble and not everyone can find a new job so it’s a tough choice, but let’s not normalize it. CE is different, thats a degree and youre only getting reimbursed because they have a tax incentive to do so. If the business isn’t willing to invest in you they don’t have to, but then you know you should stop investing in them.

RedditWanderer@lemmy.worldto You Should Know@lemmy.world•YSK about Jury Nullification, if you're an American and you don't, look it up.113·3 months agoMy comment does not say jury nullification shouldn’t exist/be allowed. It says the opposite.
RedditWanderer@lemmy.worldto You Should Know@lemmy.world•YSK about Jury Nullification, if you're an American and you don't, look it up.779·3 months agoUnpopular take but despite it being a popular thing, we want jury nullification to come from individual conclusions that this law does not apply despite the circumstances, and not because they know they can. Every study ever has shown that people who know about jury nullification tend to dismiss evidence more often, and are more easily deceived by a sympathetic/ non-sympathetic looking defendant. It’s not even a law, it’s the result of the fact juries can’t be prosecuted for their decisions so really they can do whatever they want. This is enough to know that technically you can “nullify the law”. That goes both ways, people can convict without evidence
Saying the law doesn’t actually apply despite the person having done the thing the law says not to do is very different from saying the punishment should be nil. This could also keep you from ever serving on a jury and telling others about this in certain circumstances could be a crime. All the legal minds who looked into this agree it should still remain a thing, but it shouldn’t be told to jurors explicitly. When you serve you swear to uphold the law, so it’s tricky to nullify without
purgeryperjury except for very very special cases.This is not a good YSK, you should understand what the law is as a juror. You could in theory reword this entire post without actually using the term and that would probably be helpful, but super complicated to write.

RedditWanderer@lemmy.worldto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Why do i see so many americans obsessed with the concept of "this is a thing that [Ethnicity] does"412·3 months agoA mix of cognitive bias and systemic racism
But also stereotypes exists and can be true to some degree, often just cultural

RedditWanderer@lemmy.worldto science@lemmy.world•We've Been Misreading a Major Law of Physics For Almost 300 YearsEnglish191·3 months agoRevisiting the archives, Hoek realized this common paraphrasing featured a misinterpretation that flew under the radar until 1999, when two scholars picked up on the translation of one Latin word that had been overlooked: quatenus, which means “insofar”, not unless.
To Hoek, this makes all the difference. Rather than describing how an object maintains its momentum if no forces are impressed on it, Hoek says the new reading shows Newton meant that every change in a body’s momentum – every jolt, dip, swerve, and spurt – is due to external forces.
Right, no doubt to a philosopher this makes all the difference, but we haven’t been reading it wrong. Words are transient and the result is exactly the same as Newton’s first law, but with more words. Sounds like an academic in need of a grant sensationalizing old stuff
RedditWanderer@lemmy.worldto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•"Reality" is often thought as a paragon of neutrality, being neither good nor bad. So why is a "reality check" ALWAYS felt negatively?3·3 months agoThere’s an interesting book on psychology (by a nobel Prize winner) called “Thinking Fast and Slow”, Daniel Khaneman.
It’s called regression to the mean. The military said that yelling after bad pilots made them good and praising good pilots made them bad. Kahneman proved that yelling at them when they were good made them bad too and vice versa. It’s just that great pilots can sometimes be bad, and bad pilots can sometimes be good, it had little to do with how they pushed them. Along with loss aversion, people are pretty terrible judges of value.
RedditWanderer@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•How would you explain to a date that you have an abusive family and you're the only sane person?12·3 months agoThat’s the neat part, you dont.
You can’t teach/explain everything. Small warnings and you can talk about it when it happens, when they understand. You shouldn’t need to prove they’re crazy or that you’re sane. Most people who do aren’t.

RedditWanderer@lemmy.worldto Privacy@lemmy.ml•Is this normal for domain name registrars to do.1·4 months agoThere are independent apps for that where you can link all your accounts.
Others have pointed out the app is for identification which makes sense to have an app to secure the exchange, but a lot of them don’t request identification in most cases.
RedditWanderer@lemmy.worldto Privacy@lemmy.ml•Is this normal for domain name registrars to do.23·4 months agoWhile 2FA is normal, there are multiple ways to 2FA. I’ve never heard of having to install their own proprietary app on a phone just to use an authenticator token.
RedditWanderer@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Former redditors, how do you feel the conversations on lemmy differ than the ones you've observed on reddit?221·4 months agoThey are pretty much the same people, with the communities being split a bit differently. People on Lemmy tend to think “they are different”.
I haven’t been on reddit since rif stopped working , so I’m comparing to those years and before. There’s just as much bigotry, ad hominems and unnecessary fighting/arguing.
Edit: aside from all the lemmy porn, i never blocked subs or filtered words on either platform. People will do that heavily and have their own little view of lemmy/reddit
