Well we would also not want to be here if .ml was favoured over any other instance, that would kinda make the idea of federation a bit pointless.

Hmmmm, and it does not help the controversy when this issue seems to happen to then fill smaller instances with .ml posts…
Yeap, no point in using mander right now ether.
Maybe I should just crosspost this to !mander@mander.xyz
Well there is a big issue with LW to any smaller instances if this is working like you think. Right now being on mander is like having less then half of lemmy and I would guess that if it can happen with mander it can/is happening with others.
And yet they are still struggling to sell the 8.8 million they make a year.

Most times (at least around these parts I am) manslaughter hardly ever gets applied. They seem to treat it as an unrelated death. Jim has an “accident” and sadly Sue has passed away. Maybe if the police are feeling frisky we might get an “unsafe operation of a motor vehicle”.
They are last time I checked “prohibitively expensive” but people are dumb enough to pay $100k over 8 year financing. These things are also no better for “industrial/ag” then a truck from 30 years ago that was 4 feet less tall, had an 8 foot bed and a similar towing capacity at a fraction of the price.
These things are the crystallization of our hubris.
Driver faces hit-run homicide
The first part of the headline does a fair job of pointing out the murder.
I mean, yeah that would be accurate? I doubt the car would be nearly as damaged as the meat sack.
The issue is not so much size but height. These things are all over where I am as fleet vehicles and even the good ol’ type will comment that they can not see anything in front. Just look at the door or normal car in the background of that picture and you get an idea. These hoods are no joke 1.7 meters high for no other reason then to look mean.
Honestly you could do a lot by simply charging people the same as non car related crimes. Like if you or I got pissed/trashed/inebriated and killed a person we would get a totally different outcome if the tool used was a brick or a car.
I meant as the tone of the article, this post was about the media miss handling the homicide. I thought it was a good no punches pulled short write up, hence “what am I missing”.

I am a bit lost, the articles title is “Driver faces hit-run homicide in Marion County bike crash”. This seems to not put any blame on the cyclist. It seems much like any time a car hits and kills something, what am I missing?
I wonder how often this sort of story will be posted here?
It is kinda like if eye bleach had the odd desiccated corpse pic. Not saying I am not down for it, but it was a bit of a shock.
Are you all OK over there?
This is about as uplifting as stories about kids selling lemonade to afford their mothers insulin.
Almost under a day. I can now see .world, midwest.social, .ee and others in my feed.
