From my time on Reddit years ago this question came up.

Some cashier's said they reciprocate the exchange back to the customer. If the customer puts cash on the counter for them to pick up, they'll put the change on the counter in return.

There also was probably some new training from covid where you didn't want to touch people directly, so those training materials probably still exist

Now I may be wrong, but the rulings on sodomy or marital rape weren't rulings that overturned past supreme Court rulings. And a future supreme Court shouldn't be able to overturn citizens united. Congress would need to pass a law to overturn citizens united.

It's like roe v wade. I'm pretty sure the roe ruling wasn't specifically about abortion, it was about the people's right to get an abortion because they have a right to privacy versus the government's interest.

How can one supreme Court roster determine roe was a violation of the 14th amendment and another roster rule it wasn't? That just incentives a political supreme Court. Roe shouldn't have been overturned, Congress should have had the burden of modifying the 14th amendment so that roe could be struck down.

I bet the justices are communicating with interested parties to let them know which rulings they now have the majority to overturn. Like a "hey bud, you should challenge the Chevron ruling now that we have a majority, and when it gets here, we'll get rid of that one too"

I dunno, the SCOTUS has been overturning decades old rulings out of nowhere lately.

How new SCOTUS can reverse old SCOTUS seems like an odd power for them to have.

Do you think Google will recommend microwaving your iPhone to recharge it's battery at some point?

72% chance from here. Probably high enough that swing state voters opted to stay home. This was the vibe practically all October. The FBI felt confident enough in her win to announce they were investigating her to appear unbiased.

Polling being inaccurate for whatever reason doesn't change the article after article assuring everyone Hillary had it in the bag.

Just remember polls gave Hillary almost a guaranteed win. For all intents and purposes, Trump is the front runner regardless of what any polling says

Well overall, using these techniques has probably resolved a ton of investigations where the leads ran out and it being an overall positive. I think it would still be better that DNA from these sources cannot be used in trial. So a DNA match can give you a new angle to find other elements, but the fact DNA was used to find a trail shouldn't be admissable.

I guess the saying "better 100 guilty people go free rather than an innocent man should suffer" applies though.

My bias though is probably skewed through the media I consume. I do watch a lot of channels like Lackluster YouTube videos (shows corruption and double standards in policing). I do try to balance it out with channels like Code Blue Cam which does highlight good policing too, but I would say I have an inherent distrust with policing nowadays.

Well prosecutors and cops are incentivized to get arrests. Whether to pump numbers up for promotions or to use in campaigning. So it wouldn't surprise me if cops turn a cold case into a witch hunt because some partial DNA match in a "private" database gave them a few suspects and then they start to build some case to fit the suspects.

The problem right now (I think) is the "Hide NSFW Posts" is a lemmy setting, and the blurs are Sync settings.

So the hide NSFW post prevents the API from returning any post marked NSFW

Isnt that how all social media sites start out. Starts with nerd culture and eventually other people come in later?

Verge article where the claim is due to ad blocker mitigation and not browser specific.

You said that you heard it was ad blocker related too. So the initial wave of reports about it being Firefox was inaccurate. Every article about it all sourced a singular reddit post. Just some social media "journalism".

Anecdotally, which I understand is not a great measure, I didn't experience this when it was first being reported on. But I pay for YouTube premium, so maybe that's a difference too
