I meant more for my personalized reading through logs. Some of our systems do log in UTC without correction, and they're sometimes annoying.

How can you compare photos of such contrasting quality? One you can pick out his hairs and the other feels like 360p.

Nah, all you need is a little time to get used to it. It's my default setting on most of my devices. Once you get used to it, it's much easier to tell am vs pm at a glance, which is helpful when looking at timestamps (I work in IT, timestamps are important.)

There are valid reasons to do so, that wouldn't necessarily feel unfair against someone who for sure did something wrong. Basically, it's so that one sticks. Derek Chauvin was charged on second degree unintentional murder, third degree murder, and second degree manslaughter.

These all have different degrees of severity, including average and maximum punishments.

Unintentional 2nd degree is the hardest, and requires a felony (3rd degree assault) to stick. Max penalty 40y, average 12.5.

3rd degree murder requires less; just an "eminently dangerous" act with a "depraved mind" and no regard for life. 25y max, same average

2nd degree Manslaughter is just culpable negligence that can cause unreasonable risk of death or great harm. 10 year max, 4 average.

Now they have to convince a Jury to convict on those charges. If they don't think the felony happened, then the first charge is out. If they don't think he had a "depraved mind", then the second charge is also out. So to make sure he actually gets a punishment, they charge all charges they believe they can get a jury to accept. Charging in both federal and state can also protect against only one politically motivated Governor or president from pardoning all charges, so they would need two pardons.

In addition, if the federal government is worried the state trial might be too biased, they may want their own charges just in case. It seems unfair because you may identify with his actions, but if this was someone lynching people in an extremely racist state (I'd like to say like in the past, but maybe even today) the federal government tacking on charges (in a better admin) could protect against racists just absolving someone from said murder.

In Derek Chauvin's case all charges were successfully convicted, but that isn't always the case. It is a double edged sword though.

Well, probably because if they use that metric, a ton of other companies, many US based (though unsure if Brazil cares about that part) would be on the list too. There was an older Last Week Tonight episode about how much cheap clothes and luxury clothes ended up having subcontractors that used slaves.

Owners would claim they had no idea, would fire the subcontractor, then sometimes the issue would repeat. I recall one claim was that their subcontractors would farm out work to even more subcontractors as the reason why, but that still feels like passing the buck.

Except a lot of those switched to antiscience antivaxers, and some bridged from there to facists. While I do also prefer hippies, antiknowledge and antiscience types scare me.

Personally I dropped reddit when the api broke all apps except their own ad filled one. I do occasionally use it for niche stuff, but none of my browsers have my login tokens so it's always just not logged in access. I haven't made a single comment or upvote since I left, so all my critical comments would have been before his second term.

Doesn't Stardew have timed days?

Those discussions are happening in some places, but there doesn't seem to be as much here. There are people going for lower state positions, attempts and petitions for getting ranked choice voting, and people trying to challenge from the left in Dem primaries. Which all does have to do with voting, but has the potential to pull Dems more left. People do reach out to their reps, but between money and team sports I'm not sure how effective that is.

The current system and environment is very much built to allow two parties to keep fighting while ignoring third parties, and getting out of that within the confines of the system is a slow process. Slow processes also suffer from people's impatience, often not changing things fast enough and losing support.

Others have given probably similar examples, but Arin's Mega Man X video both agrees with you and the post. It points out how some games used limited options in games (and showing examples before you died) to train you on ways the game works without the yellow paint. Your point is that games today don't have the same limitations such as only travel right at the start, whereas the video points out there should be environmental designs that lead you to the answer.

With fully free 3d environments it's harder to do that without yellow paint though.
