Not that surprising when you think about it. Bullets operate on the principle of focusing force into an extremely small area, and armor piecing bullets just take that a step further by not deforming the moment they impact without adding any extra force. A heavy punch with the weight of an entire heavyweight behind it has so much more force than the few grams of mass a bullet has.

with what little i kno of haiti, i would assume the power figures in haiti government are just as corrupt as those everywhere else and that removing their corrupt hold wouldn’t be a bad thing

The guy is a former member of a govt kill squad who got expelled for excessive violence and brutality. That should tell you something about him. There are worse things than corruption in govt.

Taken as it is with no context, I would agree with you. However, based on what others have revealed about your removed posts, and your own comments in this thread, I'm concluding that whichever mod removed your post was merely the first one that happened to see it, it was going to happen regardless.

Here's the actual news release without the clickbait farm. https://www.media.mit.edu/projects/alterego/overview/

Press X to doubt, though. It's probably nowhere near as accurate or adaptable as MIT implies. University PR depts are infamous for blowing hot air.

Edit: It's from 2019. It's definitely hot air

The technology is open source. Anybody can run it themselves and disable the watermarking.

Looking it up - Kaushambi to Bareilly, the route the bus was on, is a 5 hour drive. We're not talking about city buses with 2 minutes between each stop. Long distance routes like that generally give the driver the discretion to decide where and when to stop for toilet breaks, etc. Nobody is going to object to a break of a few minutes.

In other words, this would have been a perfectly normal rest break if not for the religious aspect. So no, the editors are not wrong.

Host your own videos where? The average user isn't likely to start hosting their own file server

lemmy: "israel clearly killed thousands of their own people as a false flag. And we've never actually seen the corpses."

Literally have not seen that take by anybody else except you

If they'd done this right out of the gate, nobody would have thought that is unreasonable.

That's ridiculous. There's no technical way they can accurately detect repeat installs on the same device, or pirated copies. Which means devs will pay out the nose for no reason. The outrage exists for a reason

They claim to. Do you trust their software reporting system?

If you have a property permanently on Airbnb, you're not 'trying to pay rent', what is that nonsense?

While you're not wrong about that sentiment, it's misplaced in this context. Partyers and holidayers make for awful neighbours.
