If you have a lot of time and enough conviction:

Lobbying, petitions, run a non-profit organization to do so.

It takes a lot of time and it’s frustrating, but look at what individuals like Louis Rossmann and Ross Scott have been able to pull off with Right to Repair and the Stop Killing Games Movement.

If you don’t have as much time:

Donate some time to projects to help out. For example, take a look at some of the projects listed underneath “Climate” category on Zooniverse: https://www.zooniverse.org/projects?discipline=climate

Here’s a description of the project, “ClimateViz”:

Extract information from various climate scientific graphics to combat misinformation and support scientific communication

Damn, that is a sweet Earth.

This wasn’t touched on in the video, but another bad side to making sub minimum wage is when the restaurant has the servers do “side work” at the end of the night before they can go home.

Basically it’s “Free labor” for the restaurant, because you’re still going to get a 0$-$2 paycheck at the end of the pay period.

This work is done after all your tables have gone, and typically involves things like pulling up the seat cushions and cleaning underneath, rolling/folding up napkins, filling up salt/pepper shakers, collecting all of the condiments off the tables, etc.

One restaurant in particular even had us doing some kitchen prep work (in addition to the side work listed above) like dumping whatever was left in the ketchup bottles into a larger container for sauces, stripping herbs off their stems, etc.

Usually this took about 20-30 min, but you couldn’t go until it was done and someone had to sign off on it, or else they would pick up the slack if someone else didn’t do everything.

It sounds like the tech support agent was trying to get him to do just that on his phone… But I haven’t used Waymo before, so I’m not certain about that.

The sad thing is, his case is not unique. Way too many people are convicted for crimes in the same way where some “cell mate” has heard the other person confess to crimes, and then the “informant” gets rewarded.

We seriously need to change how things are done especially in cases where the only evidence is from incentivized informant testimony.

If the Missouri governor won’t pardon him, shouldn’t Biden be able to pardon him? Hopefully enough noise is made that he takes notice.

Unfortunately we’ve all seen this play out before where someone who can prove they are innocent is still executed.

I’ve got to say, I’m disappointed in Lemmy for the amount of upvotes you’re receiving for a comment as sickening as this.

Killing someone just for revenge should never be the answer. That’s the kind of tactic that makes dictators and fascists what they are. The desire to watch something like that is even more alarming.

Always great to have an actual lawyer weigh in on something like this.

Hold up… there is a staircase going upstairs behind the couch!

Yeah, that shark was definitely trying to eat that turtle…

Anyway, the top comment from YouTube is useful:

They put two different clips together. The original is that the turtle was saved from being eaten by the tiger shark, and then after they released the turtle miles away from the shark, the turtle swam down, grabbed a jellyfish or something to eat, and brought it back up to try and “share” his snack with his rescuer. It was adorable. And they showed the entire thing from start to finish in that one, showing it was the same turtle, and the same man right after the rescue.

You saw what happened to some of the witnesses that were on our side, they were literally crucified by this man who looks like an angel but he’s really a devil.

“Literally”… You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

It was bad enough when Hertz was reporting tons of active rental cars as stolen and getting over 100 people arrested: https://www.inc.com/minda-zetlin/hertz-lawsuit-arrests-number-unsealed.html

Now we have to worry about Dealership loaners as well?!

Dispatchers should take note and start asking callers if the car is a rental/loaner… or in the case of Hertz, just ignoring their automated software reports entirely.

Since a lot of discussion is happening around how they’re going to implement this, and the article doesn’t go into the details, here’s more information: https://sd11.senate.ca.gov/news/20240124-senator-wiener-introduces-groundbreaking-bills-slash-california-road-deaths-epidemic

In line with NTSB recommendations, SB 961 requires every passenger vehicle, truck, and bus manufactured or sold in the state to be equipped with speed governors that limits the vehicle’s speed based on the speed limit for the roadway segment. The maximum speed threshold over the speed limit for that segment that the speed governor may permit the vehicle to travel at is 10 miles per hour over the speed limit. SB 961 also permits the vehicle operator to temporarily override the speed governor function. SB 961’s speed governor requirement does not apply to emergency vehicles.
