@dcon Yeah! And let's destroy all chocolate while we're at it!
The big problem is that it's sneaking into things - like peanut butter. Chocolate doesn't sneak into other foods.
What are you feeding your dog? Doesn't sound like proper dog food to me.

@boomzilla I can't help wondering how that's going to affect his trial when he's caught. I'm reminded of the guy who
hashad to wear a turtleneck to avoid prejudicing the jury due to a pro-crime neck tattoo, but forehead is a little more difficult to hide. Hats are not normally allowed to be worn in a courtroom.

Mine doesn't. Well, ok, he does discard it... (I often go 'what the hell have you been eating now?')

At some point, you deserve to reap the prejudice you've sown.Our legal system has these things called "innocent until proven guilty" and "no involuntary self-incrimination" that it cares about. Proclaiming one's guilt just by appearing in the courtroom kinda violates those principles, although could argue that choosing to get such a tattoo makes the self-incrimination at least somewhat voluntary. And unlike the "MURDER" tattoo case (AFAIK), the tattoo in this case is directly relevant to the determination of this induhvidual's guilt, as it is the distinguishing feature that ties the suspect to the crime, so I'd think the jury would have to know about it sooner or later.

Does that apply to parole board hearings too?
Remember the scene from "Let's go to prison" (2006), when one of the main cast goes to his hearing with "white power" written on his forehead. And he doesn't know it. And he says in the hearing
something like: "I stand firmly by my beliefs.""Prison's made me a new man."Edit:
I checked the quote.

Rowan’s target, at the time, was 100 posts [on Instagram] a day. (By comparison, The New York Times publishes around 250 pieces of original journalism each day, though some of those posts take longer to make.)

At some point, you deserve to reap the prejudice you've sown.The problem with prejudice is the high chance of getting it wrong when (considering the word etymologically) you judge something before knowing all of the facts. In this case, though, in seems unlikely that prejudice will bring you to an incorrect conclusion.
Maybe he'll find a nice prison tattoo artist to amend it with "LOLNOPE".

@PleegWat said in In other news today...:
You're saying if you're stopped by a police officer during a test drive in the US you're not required to be able to immediately show your driving license and vehicle registration?
in most states you have 24 or 48 hours to produce the license and registration.
that's to cover situations where you get in your car forgettign your wallet.
usually when that happens you don't get to continue your drive what was interrupted, but you don't get arrested offically like until you fail to produce (or they look up in their computer systems and fail to find you or find you bu suspended or something)
but then YMMV.

Even then, it doesn't violate the presumption of innocence any more than circulating a photo does. All it does is make him a lot easier to identify as the suspect they're looking for. Establishing that that suspect and the guilty party are one and the same is a different, distinct matter.

For Facebook employees, that has sometimes led to questions from family and friends about why they would work for the Silicon Valley company.
I wouldn't. When my contact at the consulting company I used to work for wanted to submit my resume to Facebook, I said no. Eventually, I was out of work for two months, drained my savings, switched companies, and moved 1800 miles. But at least I don't work for Facebook.

Got an upvote notification, read that part of topic again and thought maybe someone wonders how effective those "decisive steps" were.
A sudden fire appeared on Saturday (11/23), almost 40 fire engines participated in bringing it down. Another one appeared the next day in the same place - that one took only 10 engines.
Then on Tuesday (11/26)...
Two more fires in two more towns. And that's just the last 10 days. Other fires in November include cities and townships such as Fałków, Toruń, Jaworzno, Gosań, Czyżew, Pysząca, and Kędzierzyn-Koźle. #totallyacoincidence

I'm pretty sure, in my case, it's for Oculus hardware. I assume they'd hire anyone with the required skills and experience, regardless of . Whether I have the specific skill set they're looking for, I'm not sure. I didn't read the job description that carefully.
(yeah, I got LI requests from them often. "No, not interested.")
I've been contacted by a ton of other recruiters for the same position. I've read the job descriptions until I got to either the name of the company or "a giant social media company," then deleted them.

I’m curious now. Did you have objections about the work culture/atmosphere/... or the code/tech, or actually about what they do?
I mean, I think Facebook is the devil, but that doesn’t stop people working there.

It sounds bad, but if the website(s) that Google uses to source their lyrics were added/updated/curated by random site users, then the copyright infringement of Genius's stuff would be the fault of those users, not Google. Unless you think Google has a responsibility to cross-reference all their lyrics against Genius's (and others') lyrics to ensure that they aren't exact copies.

No doubt that will be Googles argument.

This, mostly. Specifically, the massive collection of personal data.
I mean, I think Facebook is the devil, but that doesn’t stop people working there.
I think so, too, and it stops me. Both because I don't want to work there, and because I doubt I'd be successful in getting a job there. I don't even have a Facebook account, which I'm sure would be a major negative in a job interview, and an honest answer to why I don't have one would be an instant end to the interview.

This. But I'm not sure if I were out of a job if I wouldn't be willing to go there just to make them waste some of their time.
