Welcome
We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!
The Rules
Posts must be:
- Links to news stories from...
- ...credible sources, with...
- ...their original headlines, that...
- ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”
Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.
And that’s basically it!

Even if his mother was walking there too, it's not likely going to do much to stop a car from running him over. She'd just be some extra mass to fling.
Kidnappings -- and a number of other serious crimes -- are usually done by people who are known, not random strangers.

Even more lopsided than I'd expected.
And as for "anything" happening, I'd imagine that "anything" could have happened at home, too.
I really gotta arm myself for the eventually of a sheriff disagreeing with me.
Had the same gut reaction. And I am armed and skilled. FFS, the state is going to arrest me in front of my family for this bullshit?! Hard no. I'll turn this house into a political SPECTACLE.
If enough people draw the line, the line will exist. It's just a hard personal sell and everyone generally will think that others just want them to draw the line and not themselves. Getting large numbers of people to "not let that slide" to discourage something is difficult AF
I am hoping that this is in the figurative sense. I don't think that a shootout would have improved her situation.
It's not about helping the situation. It's about drawing a line and making it known that we are not to be abused.
Stop trying to make "kagis" happen
It's not going to happen
What does kagis mean? Google isn't helping me
Seaching Kagi. I used to use googles when I used Google as my search engine; now I use Kagi.
Why not just say search, searching, or searches?
Thanks. I hadn't heard of it. Looks like it's a paid subscription for the search engine. Would you recommend it as a general search engine for everyday use?
No
Well, it depends on what you want it for.
I wanted specifically to find a search engine that has a subscription-based model and does not generate its income from data-mining and ads. It doesn't retain search logs. For me, it's what I had wanted for some time -- a service where I was the customer rather than the product -- so I am pretty happy with it.
It has some other features, but I generally don't care much about them other than its "Fediverse Forums" search lens, which lets one search the Threadiverse (Lemmy/mbin/piefed).

It looks like they also have a Usenet archives search engine that I haven't looked at. I might look into that, as I used to use Usenet archives search engines.
I'm happy with it. Depends on what you're looking for, though.
