The context makes this statement different.

The above is the victim’s mother, who begged her not to marry her murderer. She says this after stating she found divorce papers in her daughter car after her death, which led her to believe he killed her because she was planning on leaving him.

The above is a statement trying to help women to avoid brutal men to begin with, not blaming them for being victims. It’s saying “if he does this kind of shit, don’t put up with it like my daughter did. Get out immediately.”

At no point in her excuses did she say she was joking. She said she is gay and a POC, that she is scared of the consequences of her actions, and that if she was Haitian she would be upset.

She actually never even says she was sorry, just weasel words like “it just exploded” and “this was not my intent” and “was never meant to be seen outside of Springfield.”

She minimizes, back tracks and redirects blame, but never once says the words “I’m sorry” or “it was a joke that got out of hand.”

Those are the actions of a bigot running away from consequences, not a person who made an earnest mistake and is remorseful.

The judge gave her drastically under the minimum recommendation sentence because she thought it was too harsh for the circumstances:

explaining her sentencing decision, Chu said the case was unusual, and that Potter made a “tragic mistake” of thinking that she drew her taser instead of her firearm while in a chaotic situation.[11][140] Chu expressed that it was “one of the saddest cases I’ve had on my 20 years on the bench”.[141]

I think they reduced it from 10 years to 2 years. The 16 months was parole.

Personally I think she should have served the 10 years. Her and her partner pulled him over for having an air freshener on his rearview mirror and he got upset. When she and her partner were handcuffing him, she yelled “Taser! Taser!” And instead pulled her actual gun and fired it into his chest. She murdered that young man, a father, because she was an idiot.

The most egregious part? She was a police trainer. She literally trained cops about policy and process, and still fucked it up. She was actually training the cop with her at the time when she murdered Wright.

Read her comment. There were no jokes in it.

You can be a gay person of color and a bigot at the same time. It’s pretty stupid, but it happens.

Shes Jewish. Unsurprisingly, she uses her heritage to be a convenient antisemite when it suits her.

It’s not like it’s some grand accomplishment. Having sex with a lunatic that worships you is about the lowest bar possible.

It’s also one the stupidest possible things to do, so that’s why people think it’s likely.

The evidence that shes racist is the incredibly racist post she made.

Her post is incredibly racist hearsay from 3 people removed (her neighbor’s daughter’s friend). It describes a vile act that casts fault on 20k people in her local community.

Shes expressing remorse because she did something vile and racist and now has everyone in the world looking at her and her actions.

She doesn’t have anything to gain like Trump/Vance, so shes afraid she will have consequences in her life now that her racism and hate is so public. After the multiple days of bomb threats that have cleared local schools and city Hall, the fear has set in.

That’s it. She didn’t apologize out of a sense of decency or remorse. Her apology is:

“Well I’m biracial and gay, so I can’t be racist.”

“I also didn’t realize this hate would go national, and now that the world is attacking these people and might attack me, I realize what I did was wrong.”

“I’m so scared what I did will affect me, please don’t let it.”

That’s not remorse. That’s someone running from the ugly thing they did, hoping to escape any consequence.

Yeah…that changes the numbers. More like 10-20 years to do just about anything.

Somehow the urgency just drains right out of this for me.

Its worst than the qoute. She posted a story her neighbor told her about her daughter’s friend’s cat. So the source of the story was 3 layers of people removed from her.

When the news reached out to the neighbor, she said that it was an acquaintance of a friend, so even less reliable.

So yes, wholley racist, even as she claims it wasn’t. She was pissed at legal migrants moving into her community, and spread racist rumors about them to feed that anger.

Didn’t they make 10-100s millions of dollars on this? Pays a lot of salaries while you make new paid content.

EDIT : They made at least 12 million sales on steam, and had 7 million players on Xbox, which may be Gamepass, but still makes them money.

So at $30, that’s 66million from steam minus 30% for steams cut, so they banked 44 million at least.

They can pay 440 devs 100k for at least a year. I assume their team is a bit smaller than that, so they likely have years of runway. Linkedin lists size as between 50-200 in japan, so that likely means they are making $50-70k, and there are likely more than 100 devs. I would guess they have a 4 year runway from Steam sales, and maybe 1-2 year from Gamepass.

They got some time to think.

Rancher is owned by Suse, which is mainly a solid steward in the community.

They also have k8 frontend called Harvestor. It can run VMs directly, which is nice.

It’s not a tradition, it’s the correct nomenclature. The article I posted isn’t talking about history, it’s talking about how rate/rank works in the Navy.

Your link has to do with ratings, I.e. jobs. That is a distinct thing from rate, i.e paygrade. It refers to enlisted by ratings and paygrade, never rank.

As to military ID, they use a generic format that has “rank” and “grade” listed. This format is used for all US armed forces, enlisted and officers, and as such is a generic catch all since all other branches of the military use rank for enlisted. For uniformity sake, the card omits the Navy’s odd quirk.

The intense plastic surgery?

Youre mistaken. A “rate” is where you are on the E1 - E9 paygrade scale. A “rating” is your assigned job, what you get after A school. A Fireman has a rate of E-1/3. He does not have a rating because he hasn’t been to A school. You can also “strike” for a rating by testing into it, but thats rarer.

There is more history about this confusing system here Note that this is from a .mil site specifically about Navy history. The article is from 2019.

The United States Navy’s enlisted rank and rate system is unique among the armed services. The first point of divergence is the term “rate,” used in the Navy rather than the more-familiar term “rank,” which is reserved for naval officers and warrant officers. The second unique aspect of Navy enlisted rates is the inextricable linkage of rates, which represent a Sailor’s pay grade, and ratings, which denote an occupational specialty. For example, where a notional Sergeant Smith may have a military occupational specialty (MOS) of infantryman in the Army, he would simply be designated Sergeant Smith, both in conversation and on official documents. A Sailor of equivalent rank/rate with a rating of boatswain’s mate would be Boatswain’s Mate Second Class Jones. Thus, the Navy combines rates and ratings in Sailors’ titles.

To complicate matters further, the Navy considers Sailors in the E-1 to E-3 pay grades “nonrated,” meaning they do not yet hold a rating.

Also virulent racist, homophobe and opportunistic antisemite, even though she’s jewish.

Enlisted only have rates, not ranks. It’s a weird navy thing. Enlisted also have “ratings” which is your job, I.e aviation tech, boatswan, etc.

Youre also talking about firemen/seamen/constructionmen/etc. These roles are e-1 to e-3 and have a rate, but not a rating.

In my experience, no one knows the rank/rate distinction and everyone just refers to rank. It’s not something they explain well.

Just a story about how much information metadata conveys.

Her like was an endorsement, even if she didn’t make her own statement.

Person, woman, man, camera, TV.

It all comes full circle. The top has been spinning the whole time.
