“Black People Were Just Less Smart Back Then” -Grandma
  • I think the woman with water poured on her is white and sitting with the black woman.

    My understanding of the two sides were the white people attacking them and the white people sitting with a black person to protest segregation.

  • Kamala Harris leads Donald Trump by 6 points in New Hampshire, poll finds
  • Yeah, those questions are the only the only way I stay sane. I've never been asked to participate in a poll so I have to assume the demographics are biased toward specific groups, like people who answer land line phones.

  • Kamala Harris leads Donald Trump by 6 points in New Hampshire, poll finds
  • Do polls make anyone else unreasonably angry?

    Unless it's 20 points, I can't fathom how that many people support Trump. He never says anything of value in any speech. There's no platform to support. He just needs power to avoid criminal consequences, and half the country is good with that.

  • Stages of grief
  • That's true, but it became clear that others would experience similar emotions.

    Also according to the Wikipedia, the author regretted writing them in a way that suggested they're a linear progression of steps. I've only actually heard the steps used as a sitcom plot point (Monk, Scrubs).

  • Three courts agree that a woman deemed wrongfully convicted should be freed. She still isn't
  • Bailey, who was appointed attorney general ... has a history of opposing overturning convictions, even when local prosecutors cite evidence of actual innocence.

    In 2023, Bailey’s office argued against then-St. Louis Circuit Attorney Kim Gardner’s effort to overturn the murder conviction of Lamar Johnson, who was imprisoned 28 years. A St. Louis judge sided with Johnson, who was freed.

    Bailey’s office also argued in court in May against freeing Christopher Dunn, who has spent 33 years in prison for a 1990 killing that St. Louis Circuit Attorney Gabe Gore determined that Dunn probably didn’t commit. A judge is still deciding that case.

    And Bailey is opposing St. Louis County Prosecuting Attorney Wesley Bell’s effort to set aside the murder conviction of Marcellus Williams. A hearing is Aug. 21 — just a month before Williams is scheduled to be executed. Testing unavailable at the time of the 1998 stabbing death found another person’s DNA on the knife, but not Williams’.

    I would love to hear his justification for all of these. Is it just the for-profit prison money, or the pride of not being wrong?

  • What are your go-to sources for game reviews and finding new games?

    Any websites you like or Youtube reviewers? I prefer reviewers who also check out obscure games and actually point out flaws.

    Console gaming mostly since PC has Steam reviews that help out.

    I've always used Metacritic since it aggregates reviews, but it seems to have gotten worse for searching and finding top lists lately. There's gotta be better sources nowadays.

    Is there a way to turn off auto-update/refresh on the Lemmy feed?

    Scrolling on lemmy.world gets confusing when new posts are added to the page periodically. I prefer content remaining static until I refresh. Is there a way to configure that?
