"Congrats dude! \n\nLooks like a stingray behind you guys.",
"I’m a dudette! It’s actually my cousin and my grandpa in the pic. I’m proud of them both, but extra props to gramps ",
"Oh, sorry about that. Right on! I hope that when I am 87 I still have that longing to do some awesome stuff in life.",
"He’s badass, each year on his birthday he swims the number of lengths he is years old. ",
"He definitely is badass! That is a good distance even for a guy my age. I have never known someone that does that. Usually just a nice restaurant or cake and ice cream. This guy goes to the bottom of oceans and explores wreckage and stuff. My life goals have now changed.",
"He looks great for 87.",
"It’s like he’s being held hostage in an underwater lair using the paper to prove he’s alive. ",
"Do they laminate the paper??",
"As a SCUBA diver myself I gotta admit that while under water I felt safer (among all the sea life - and sharks) than I have on land. ...Very weird realization, but when you try diving, you'll see that everything down there minds its own business and gives zero fucks about what you're doing. It's super chill.",
"Yes, they laminated the front page. Their local paper encourages people to travel with a copy when people go to cool places and take a picture with it and then they publish it (this is a pretty small town haha) as far as we know, this is the first time someone’s done it underwater ",
"Plot twist ",
"There are some shipwrecks near Chuuk. Will you guys be going there too?",
"What a great idea!\n",
"Not this trip, they did 15 dives the last 5 days and are flying home tomorrow. I’ll mention it to him though!",
"THAT is absolutely awesome. I often worry about getting older (father with dementia) but people like your granddad give me hope for a better quality of life than I have been exposed to. I now aspire to be your granddad!",
"That’s so sweet of you to say! I certainly hope I can follow in his footsteps. He’s taught me just how important it is to stay physically active and keep exploring and learning. \n\nBest wishes to your dad!",
"proof of remaining life",
"I used to live just 10 miles west of Hickory, NC. Thought I recognized the paper. \nAwesome work by your grandpa, btw!",
"If I can't scuba, then what has this all been about? What am I working toward?",
"Something else, equally cool.",
"Kudos to your grandfather for getting out there and doing something he wanted to do. Kudos to you for letting the rest of us know about it.",
"My GPA was a registered diver until his 80s when his health forced him to stop. Was one of the oldest registered in NY if i am not mistaken. One of my bucket list things is picking up where him and my father left off. ",
"I’m not even sure which one he is. ",
"Your grandpa is hooooot!\nSeriously though, good for him!",
"I am really afraid of the ocean and sea creatures(like stingrays and jellyfish) after getting stung by a portuguese man o' war when I was 7. I used to snorkel a lot despite having severe anxiety every time I did it because I also love the ocean and all the fish. \n\nThen I started scuba diving and I found out just how much I love that without the anxiety and fear of the ocean wildlife that could sting me. There is something about bringing your own air and the ritualistic steady breathing and slow consistent motions that is therapeutic. These days I'm not even afraid of snorkeling like I used to. \n\nScuba is awesome. ",
"Point proven.",
"Woah! The Daily Record was my paper growing up... So cool!",
"The other guy's 90. ",
"This is beyond inspiring!!",
"Did one of you tell Stanley that I have asthma?",
"Guys there's a manta in the background! You're missing it!!! \n",
"[source](https://youtu.be/NAdQyjpOfrs?t=4)",
"AND it's as close to flying as you can get!",
"I just did two weeks in truk lagoon called chuuk lagoon to locals it's in the same area and there are amazing WWII wrecks there highly recommend but do the Odyssey live-aboard you will thank me later",
"I hope when I'm this age I'm doing cool stuff like this ",
"Only as old as you feel. Kudos to him. ",
"Nj shoutout over here",
"When a photobombing stingray is not even the most interesting part",
"This appears to be the Wooster, Ohio daily record if I'm not mistaken. I certainly could be.",
"Is he from Ohio?",
"Matter of fact, he is!",
"I got both my kids Open Water certified. They are very different people but the whole experience made a definite impression on each. Parenting has ups and downs...this was a huge up. The ocean life really doesn't care about you, and I could only see getting injured if you messed with it. We've seen flights of eagle rays, sharks, sea snakes, lionfish (beautiful but an eco disaster), octopus, and too many other things to mention. The day my daugther pointed to the ocean floor...and a group of cuttlefish, changing color as the currents took them over white sand and black gravel, I shall never forget. It was very subtle...the camouflage was that good. The ocean rewards slow, relaxed observation.",
"Spot on! We’re hoping they’ll feature him. Will post an update when/if they publish him",
"Is he a retired railroader?",
"Dentist, and still teaching!",
"Scuba-diving is something I didn't want to do due to my absolute fears of sharks lurking around the corner and eating me to death. Shudders.",
" Why do people yell every time they say \"scuba?\" /jk",
"[r/thalassophobia](https://www.reddit.com/r/thalassophobia/?st=JCY9M9JQ&sh=6b9d661d) ",
"From Wayne county, I'd bet.\n\nThat's the paper I grew up with.",
"Clicked on the pic and saw the paper, it took my mind a minute to realize I wasn't on Facebook. That's awesome, doing Wayne county proud!",
"I take it we are all from Wayne lol",
"Wayne county hype!",
"I love it when people take their time to learn something new in their old days and don't like like \"I die soon anyway, why bother\". Always makes me smile when I see old people using tablets etc. in cafeterias."

My 87-year-old Grandpa learned how to scuba dive in the past year so he could visit the shipwrecks in Palau (he’s a huge WWII history buff) and posed with his local newspaper. I’m so proud of him!

"A lot of people are asking how much I paid to do this. I spent about 13k and did the whole project myself. I knew next to nothing before beginning and through reading books/watching YouTube videos/just plain figuring things out, I was able to finish this build in about two and a half months. If you’d like to see more you can see my instagram @danielbarousse for a more comprehensive look. I will be posting a video as well within the week. Thank you all for the positive words. Enjoy :)",
"Nice. ",
"Suddenly, inviting chicks back to my van is 1% less creepy. ",

"Because used ones don't exist...",
"I would hope the girls are 18+.",
"Still could be close to that price for a newer one. The larger ones are 55k MSRP. So even half of a stock base one (33k) is 16.5K. Best case scenario is if it was a leased fleet vehicle and had to be taken care of up until it was auctioned or whatever. Then it might be below 10k.",
"Tiny home, trailer, camper, ... Who cares what you call it?\n\nNice job. Are those units off-the-shelf or is it all custom?\n\nI'm in the process of finishing the interior in our '72 VW T2 (Microbus in some regions). I'll have to make a custom unit.

"Got any pics of the toilet and shower?\n\nI'm looking to pick up a Chevy Express from work once they retire it to convert into a camper although I'm thinking now the ceiling height is probably too low even for a sitting shower so I'll probably scrap the idea.\n\nOnly set on that van because first of all they're way cheaper than the vans like yours, I'll probably get it for 1/2-2/3 market value through work, and it's AWD. I also want something low enough to drive into parking garages though as I live in the city, need a winter vehicle, and don't have space to use this as a 3rd vehicle so it would become the winter DD.",

Keep some serious means of protection nearby just in case.\n\nI've heard from friends who spend their life on the road some shitty stories. At a time several were saying a method robbers used was to pry a Window or something open so they could jam a tiny vial or whatever with some substance to make you sleep (when you were already sleeping) and make sure you don't wake up. Then they could rob in piece. Some talked about getting raped without realizing. I've even heard one saying a colleague of his woke up in the side of some highway mid of nowhere, underwear only and had been raped.

I have replaced complete engines under this Warranty along with def heaters, dpf units, timing chains, injectors, etc. It does not cover transmissions but the 722.6 is a pretty robust transmission but yoi either service it or you dont. Last the corrosion warranty which is either 5/100 or 5/unlim id have to check. This covers corrosion of the body not related to damage. So if you get a scratch and it rusts out it is not covered, this coverage is at the discretion of the dealership or body shop.

For thieves (scoping out your van) to cops (there to bust your balls) to tow truck drivers wanting to tow it.\n\nI recently bought one of those doorway chime things for about $20. [This one](https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/612pGxpMzoL._SY355_.jpg). It has a base unit and two motion detecting modules (you can buy versions with four). The modules can be stripped down to just the circuit board (I took one apart) to hide it better. They are powered by a usb cable (or batteries, but I dislike using batteries). The base unit itself plugs into the wall outlet. \n\nI am going to use one module as a makeshift car alarm (by placing it inside my vehicle). Actually just to silently alert me when someone is prowling around it while I sleep in my house. My vehicle is just outside my bedroom window so it is within wireless range of the base unit.\n\nNote: the modules can't be added later, You have to buy them in a set with the base unit because I guess they are programmed specifically to work with the base unit.",

I do understand what you mean though and you are right that it's a feeling of 'fakeness' because of the camcorder era.

Go watch an intense chase movie filmed at 48fps and one in 24fps and tell me which one feels faster, more intense. I think I will know the answer. It makes no sense that current Hollywood action scenes are edited in such a way that our brains can hardly make out every shot because the shotsequences are so rapid, only to contradict that implied feeling of chaos again with sharper easier to follow imagery.\n\nSure the 48 fps film will look sharper and sure you can get used to that.

"I was watching the 2017 edition of T2 and they removed the scene ",
"imdb says it was released in 70mm as well, so probably some cinema goers saw it in higher definition and in larger size than OP and his crappy little blu ray.",
"No. you can have 60 fps with a shutter rate of 1/1000th of a second or 60fps at 1/250th of a second. They will look different. The only connection is that 60fps is limited to 1/60th of a second shutter speed, though you'd rarely go that low anyways.",
"regarding motion blur, yes and no. yes in that to get a similar amount of motion blur in different framerate video, you have to use different shutter speeds, no in that you can use whatever shutter speed you want regardless of framerate (as long as the shutter isn't open longer than the length of one frame because this results in a largely undesirable effect).\n\nhttps://vimeo.com/blog/post/frame-rate-vs-shutter-speed-setting-the-record-str\n\nhttps://nofilmschool.com/2015/09/how-shutter-speeds-frame-rates-change-look-feel-of-film\n\nhttps://daredreamermag.com/2013/02/15/frame-rates-vs-shutter-speed-and-why-to-care/",

"Dear god yes. And for the life of me I cant get anyone else to notice. Im a videographer part time, even my partner can barely tell the difference but to me its night and day. ",
"There's a good one in TNG too where Riker is supposed to .. I forget, take a punch or something? Even in 720p it doesn't even remotely look like him.\n\nI actually found it..\n\nhttps://youtu.be/q-JI3jR0X0k?t=10",
"Not really. Whats the bar to measure better? You have at least two measures, information and appearance. Amount of information alone doesnt mean anything. What is the information..\n\nFrame rate is tied to shutter angle. The higher the frame rate the less motion blur there is, and your eyes dont behave like that either.\n\nYour statement would suggest 1000fps played at 1000fps would be better as well. Its definitely not, absolutely no grating to the eyes and unrealistic.\n\nThere is way more to it than just frame rate, that's all tied together with other phenomenon. ",
"Uhh, shitty green color grade, why. Darkened it way too much. The original grade was fairly neutral, it looked like real 90s L.A. why turn it to garbage dark green ",
"A 32K image at 12fps contains more information than a 4k image at 24fps. I guess that would be \"objectively better,\" according to you.",
"same for when in T2 Arnie punches the telephone coin box to get the coins, you can see the break-out pattern easily :)",
"I watched it on an airplane screen and thought the same.",
"Ok that’s Shatner, that’s Lubbins. That’s Shatner, that’s Lubbins. Now that’s Shatner, but if I freeze frame, you can clearly see Lubbins’ coffee cup",
"Yeah this is a thing ime. I got used to 60+ fps from games and YouTube and now 24 fps looks like everything that moves gets smeared out. Though most 3d gives me headaches to maybe I'm just a super picky whiner.",
"I think that's the point. The original color was off. When you say it looked like \"90s LA,\" it's not as if the output of the sun has changed in the past 20 years. The original had off color that we associate with 80s-90s film production ",
"No the new grade is dark and green. It looks intentionally darker and lacking details in the shadows, they crushed the blacks hard. It looks like the matrix color grade... Which, bleh",
"You're right actually, but I think the original is equally bad and the best picture lies somewhere in the middle. Maybe that's just the best they can do with the source or something. Or it's just a shitty decision, idk.",
"were we talking about resolutions or frame rates? can you remind me? context is pretty important.",
">You have at least two measures, information and appearance. Amount of information alone doesnt mean anything. What is the information..\n\nwhat is the purpose of 24 fps? why was that specific framerate chosen? because it was the lowest framerate early filmmakers could get away with that had high enough motion resolution so as to not be disconcerting to viewers. the entire point of moving pictures is to show motion. what has more motion resolution, 24 fps or 48 fps? higher framerates have greater motion resolution and are smoother. you're not going to tell me that you prefer choppiness over smoothness are you? please tell me, which of these videos is more enjoyable to look at:\n\n[this one](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fVrcbBz0d4Q)\n\nor\n\n[this one](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PoHJsmeHYHo)\n\n>Frame rate is tied to shutter angle. The higher the frame rate the less motion blur there is, and your eyes dont behave like that either.\n\nsorry, my eyes don't behave like what? 1/48 (48 fps) or 1/60 (60 fps) shutter speeds have plenty of motion blur (almost as much as 24 fps @ 1/48, but still not as much because of sample and hold displays, yes even in theaters digital projectors are sample and hold) if you think that's really what you want. 24 fps being limited to slower shutter speeds is a negative not a positive. again, this is another problem with expectations. you think there should be a certain amount of motion blur because there always has been so much (on account of 24 fps with little motion blur looking extremely juddery). the beautiful benefit of higher framerates is that we can still have smooth motion with faster shutter speeds, allowing us to see fast motion better.\n\n>Your statement would suggest 1000fps played at 1000fps would be better as well. Its definitely not, absolutely no grating to the eyes and unrealistic.\n\nsorry, do you have real-time 1000 fps footage and a 1000 Hz display that can show you this? if not i'm afraid that that is conjecture and therefore irrelevant.\n\n>There is way more to it than just frame rate, that's all tied together with other phenomenon.\n\ni know! did you not see in the comment you replied to that i already brought up shutter speed?",
">what is the purpose of 24 fps? why was that specific framerate chosen? because it was the lowest framerate early filmmakers could get away with that had high enough motion resolution so as to not be disconcerting to viewers. the entire point of moving pictures is to show motion. what has more motion resolution, 24 fps or 48 fps? higher framerates have greater motion resolution and are smoother. you're not going to tell me that you prefer choppiness over smoothness are you? please tell me, which of these videos is more enjoyable to look at:\n\nWell, it's a moot point. Each one of those frames is crystal clear, so you're presupposing that because 60fps caters to smoother motion tracking when using very fast shutter angles, it's less fatiguing. Any 24fps professional example doesn't use the same shutter angles as your comparison, at all. \n\nWhy did you use an example of video 60fps at +1/200th of a second with 24 fps at an even higher shutter speed (which would be needed to maintain the same exposure since it's broad daylight and ISO is already probably near the lowest point.\n\n>you think there should be a certain amount of motion blur because there always has been so much (on account of 24 fps with little motion blur looking extremely juddery) \n\n>sorry, do you have real-time 1000 fps footage and a 1000 Hz display that can show you this? if not i'm afraid that that is conjecture and therefore irrelevant.\n\nYou're the epitome of conjecture and pseudo intellectual diversion. \n \nIt's not worth the time or effort, believe whatever you want.

The reason I think this is a panorama is because the image doesn't have the typical wide angle or fisheye look to it, and so much is visible.

"Looks like the shot is exposed for the sunset, with a flash in the foreground. Shooting directly into the sun like that you'd want a higher f-stop or a high shutter speed to reduce light. Since I can see some motion blur in the water I'm going with high f-stop, which means the entire scene will also be more in focus. A little careful manipulation with your software of choice to balance things just so and you've got this image.",

I have essentially seen this picture more times than I can count playing in shore break, it being one picture would not surprise me at all.

It's really hard though, it really takes an artist to see the world how I do. Here let me show you the family photos I took. Yeah, I know awesome huh? I did this cool thing here, I made it up. I photograph the person, and I go into lightroom (it's a really complex photo editing program, you probably haven't heard of it) and I change the photo to black and white. But! I leave one part of the image color. Isn't that amazing? Well right now I charge $100 for a session. Afterwards I give you a disc with all of the photos and you do whatever you want with them. The disc will have like 300 pictures, and you can pick whatever you want. Yah, that closeup of the flower. I did that.\"",

In ten years.

Unfortunately, her call coming just four days before your San Jose stop, I didn’t have the whole weekend free. I also texted my landlord, and it turns out he does not accept rent payment in Oprah Winfrey tickets. Gah!\n\n>Since you are the most beloved person in America, I might be the first performer whose chakras twisted out of alignment when your blockbuster tour about living “the life you want” asked me to work for free. Your producer, assessing my hesitation, further explained that,\n\n>“People started calling US, asking to perform, so we thought we’d add a stage for local acts.”\n\n>I punched myself in the arm. Stupid, stupid! Why was I always asking the Forbes top 400 richest people in America if I could work for free? (Geeze, Revolva, stop being such an eager beaver! You have bills, girl!) And then, I remembered — I didn’t contact you. I don’t have your digits, Oprah. Last time I checked, even if it was to round out volunteers, your tour was contacting artists.",

"It's all about market and what you want to shoot tbh. My wife would shoot family photos for friends, but preferred shooting fashion and boudoir. You can make a good living from it, but generally she would run into competition from a few segments of the market.\n\n1. Men who will shoot for free because getting naked women in their studio is the goal. Or, they take it further, and try to trade sex for photos. \n\n2. Togs who are ok, but don't charge because they don't need the money. Maybe they are secure as a stay at home parent, but they just enjoy the art of it.\n\n3. A good amount of people: Get a T4i and kit lense, shoot on auto and shoot a disgusting number of photos. They hope that out of 300 photos there will be enough good ones that people are fine with it. Simple concepts of the exposure triangle are just not even factored in for many of them. \n\nThere are others of course, but so many people just don't value their time. The amount of time that goes into a set can be massive. If my wife is prepping an image for editorial, she can spend 2 hrs. editing one image alone. Assuming an hour shoot, plus travel time, and an average of 6 images for editorial purposes, that can easily be 14 hrs. for one shoot. Let's say she gets $200 for that shoot. She also has to pay for a MUA, gas, insurance, taxes, and often pieces of the outfit for the shoot. The profit margins shrink to nearly nothing.\n\nA big part of the problem is the whole business structure. Models expect free photos because they were told they were pretty by whoever. MUA's expect to be paid to cover at least their makeup. Magazines expect togs to work for free for \"exposure.\" Someone has to pay somewhere, but a lot of times that buck stops with the photographer. ",

">A good amount of people: Get a T4i and kit lens, shoot on auto and shoot a disgusting number of photos. They hope that out of 300 photos there will be enough good ones that people are fine with it. Simple concepts of the exposure triangle are just not even factored in for many of them.\n\nI know a person like this. She takes weddings and small indoor music events and then I get phone calls about shooting the shiny white dress and how everything is turning out too dark. The people pay, the pictures get printed or go online, and the money keeps coming in. \n\nThey don't pay a lot, presumably because the wedding folks are picking her because they can't afford a photographer, and the musicians are paying commensurate with technical quality, but it's more than the zero she'd make not doing it.\n\nOn the flip side, I have a friend who was a special education teacher and just did photos as a side thing and slowly over about four years leveled up to be one of the top family photographers in her corner of the state. \n\nShe said that the fewer photos she offers, the more well-received they are, because she has to really really screen them for what are the absolute best, and the choice for the client isn't as overwhelming when it's 10 out of 20 instead of 20 out of 300.

She would go light on session fee, but higher products. Higher session, but cheaper products. Every way we went people continually complained about the costs. They just couldn't value her services no matter how much they liked the results. \n\nShe has had a regular job in office administration while doing it. After a while, she got to a point she wasn't getting boudoir clientele so she just said screw it, I'm shooting what I want to. Which satiated the hobby aspect, but the monetary return wasn't present, so recently she's just decided to hang it up. I don't view it as a waste because she got to take a risk and chase a dream. The money we invested didn't break the bank by any stretch, so I can't be angry, and she did pretty much break even on logistical requirements.\n\nAlso, the reality is due to my job, she has never been in a place for more than three years, which makes things very difficult. I hope that when we get done moving all over the world she'll be able to homestead and carve out her own niche if that's what she wants to do. If not, I'll support whatever dream she wants to follow next. ",

"[Let's start you with this,](https://news.vice.com/en_ca/article/pazvg7/canadas-economy-is-dependent-on-you-buying-and-selling-real-estate) and [this](http://www.huffingtonpost.ca/2017/04/28/housing-canada-economy-gdp-february-2017_n_16310158.html).\n\nIt's true that our economy remained relatively strong throughout 2008 - most notably because our economy at that time was not as heavily tied into real estate value as America's had become. We have now surpassed that point. Real estate and related spending now accounts for 20% of our GDP and has been the largest growth driver year after year. The upshot is that housing prices have (obviously) outpaced wage growth, and unless you're certain that your $80k/year job will be consistent for 30 years, you've taken a large gamble. If you feel absolutely confident, then I'm morbidly curious to know what you do. Our economy 30 years from now will look *nothing* like it does today. It remains strong(ish) *because* of our faith in the real estate market. It's the single largest factor in our growth. \n\nBecause you, like many others, have convinced yourself that the market is solid and cannot fail. This is in large part driven by most Canadian's deliberate turning of a blind eye to the economy and their own investments. This results in strange social aberrations, like our [97% faith in our financial advisors](https://www.newswire.ca/news-releases/study-canadians-continue-crazy-contentment-with-investment-advisors-670698783.html). It's willful ignorance. \n\nNobody's ready, and virtually everybody is tied into this pricing system, and so it's legitimately too big to fail. That doesn't mean that it won't. It just means that most Canadian families are equally jeopardized and there will likely be government intervention to stem the worst of the fallout at some point. There's nothing about this market that assures me that it is a good time to buy, but seeing as our economy is literally dependent on people buying houses... keep up the good work, soldier ",

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. You playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people will not feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine as children do. It is not just in some of us. It is in everyone and as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give others permissions to do the same. As we are liberated from our fears, our presence automatically liberates others. ",

"At 16 years old, Australian explorer Jade Hameister is the youngest person to ever complete the polar hat-trick by reaching the North and South Poles and crossing Greenland, but even she has to deal with loudmouth critics who have opined that her place is in the kitchen.\n\nAfter Hameister’s recent record-setting descent to the South Pole, the teenager offered a biting response to her critics with a Facebook post in which she posed alongside the Ceremonial South Pole flags while carrying a sandwich on a plate.\n\n“I skied back to the Pole again … to take this photo for all those men who commented ‘Make me a sandwich’ on my TEDX Talk,” she wrote. “I made you a sandwich (ham & cheese), now ski 37 days and 600km to the South Pole and you can eat it xx.” [Story](https://womenintheworld.com/2018/01/24/record-setting-polar-explorer-16-hits-back-at-men-who-said-she-belonged-in-the-kitchen/)",

"I now want a sandwich.",
"Every guy who said, \"Make me a sandwich\" is just intimidated by her. Who can blame them, right? She's certainly mentally stronger than any of them.

In a harrowing 7 day trek across the frozen wasteland, where several of the hackers died and were eaten by their comrades, the basement dwelling virgins defied odds and made it to the South Pole. They celebrated their accomplishment by eating sandwiches and jerking off to My Little Pony porn. \n\n> When asked what motivated them, one man in a Guy Fawkes mask replied, \"For the lulz.\" When asked if they had any words for the 16 year old girl, Jade, who inspired their journey, an overweight man screamed, \"GET BACK IN THE KITCHEN!\" At this point, several men all at once started shouting random phrases such as ,\"Pools closed\" \"Ron Paul 2020\" \"Fuck Reddit!\"\n\n> What might be most surprising of all though is that this sad band of NEETs don't plan on leaving. \"I plan on staying because there's no n***ers in Antarctica,\" said one man. \"I finally feel safe to jerk off to loli porn, without worrying about getting vanned by the FBI,\" said another. \n\n> With the sun low on the horizon, this reporter left the South Pole and the hackers behind. Although cold, tired, and hungry, I couldn't help but be impressed by what boundless amounts of focused autism and misogyny could accomplish. \n\n> ",

"Just read this online: \n\nIn a closely contested 2013 decision, the United States Supreme Court held that prosecutors can, under appropriate circumstances, point to an out-of-custody suspect’s silence in response to police questioning as evidence of guilt. (Salinas v. Texas, 133 S. Ct. 2174 (2013).) According to the Court, the prosecution can comment on the silence of a suspect who:\nis out of police custody (and not Mirandized)\nvoluntarily submits to police questioning, and\nstays silent without expressly invoking his Fifth Amendment rights.\nThe only way to prevent the government from introducing evidence at trial of the suspect’s silence is to explicitly invoke the right to say nothing. In other words, without being warned by the police or advised by a lawyer, and without even the benefit of the familiar Miranda warnings (which might trigger a “I want to invoke my right to be silent!”), the interviewee must apparently say words to the effect of, “I invoke my privilege against self-incrimination.”\n\nSo you just have to state you are going to be silent, at least in the USA",

However, there are warnings that many jurisdictions do require police to give on arrest and ours are similar to the American warnings. We have a much more [common-law](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_law) criminal justice system, so law doesn't tend to be perceived as binding in the same dogmatic sense that America perceives them; law is interpreted by police, the court, and lawyers so as to ensure that the *spirit* is being followed.\n\nI can confirm that the actual warnings we issue follow [this general structure](https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Canadian_Criminal_Procedure_and_Practice/Arrest_and_Detention/Arrest_Procedure). We receive a right to remain silent. (cc /u/MassiveMeatMissile)\n\nBut no 5th amendment protections. The court expects full-disclosure relevant to the case being tried, so as to enable equitable treatment, and in cases of legal interest may *order* protection from trial for a related crime.

They left him there in his underwear after locking his car and throwing his car keys and clothes into a flooded ditch because they didn't find anything illegal.

"Lmao their police forces aren’t angels because they pose for photos while doing yoga. It’d be nice to be able to compare numbers and rates with American police departments but as Vice News found, the Canadian police forces can be incredibly stingy with their violent force stats. When BC finally included race in their Use of Force stats in 2013, it showed that aboriginal Canadians were the targets of 20% of UoF instances while comprising just 5% of the population in BC in 2011. Furthermore, the 2006 Ipperwash Inquiry found that in Ontario, Black Canadians were 5 times more likely to be killed or injured by police than control populations, while aboriginals were 6 times more likely. Between 2000 and 2006 using data from Toronto alone, Black Canadians comprised 2/3s of police shooting victims, while only constituting 7% of the population.

"\"Protection against self-incrimination is one of the fundamental principles of the criminal justice system. You are probably familiar with the phrase, “pleading the fifth,” which refers to the Fifth Amendment in the American Constitution and provides testimonial immunity for an accused individual. There is no equivalent to the Fifth Amendment in Canada; however, a witness who is compelled to testify is protected under s. 13 of the Charter from having any incriminating statements “used to incriminate that witness in any other proceedings.” \"",

Caused a lot of upset at the time but has created a much better police force.\nThat is an example where it was the application of the law and its spirit that mattered rather than what was written.\nIn America you seem to have alot of rights but they seem more to be implemented like privelages.

"No, Miranda rights are quite good in theory but it how they are applied it the real kicker.\nHow Aussie police are meant to act\n\" It may come as a surprise to learn that police powers are surprisingly wide and can vary widely depending on the alleged crime. A police officer does not require a warrant to arrest someone when they are in the process of (or have just committed) an offence. However, when the police have conducted surveillance or a covert-operation, the arrest will usually occur under a specific warrant. Typically the police will take the arrested person back to the station and then commence questioning.\n\nAs a general rule, there are no “Miranda” rights in Australia. However, there is an obligation on police to caution a person that their statements may be used in evidence. A slight variation in the accepted wording of this caution would probably not be fatal to the later use of any evidence in a trial.\n\nThe “right to silence” is not to be used against you, so that your refusal to answer questions is not an indication that you have something to hide (or are concealing guilt). If you are arrested, the police must charge you within four hours. However, this time limit is not absolute and the police are likely to charge you before this time.\n\nAs part of your attendance, you may be fingerprinted and photographed. In some cases, the police may seek to obtain a DNA sample, although the provisions of the legislation outlining consent (and the power of police to obtain a sample without consent) are complex. Having the help of a lawyer is vital if you are arrested and seeking their advice should be foremost in your mind.\"\n\nAll about application and oversight. \n\n",

"(Slight spoilers for The Stormlight Archive for anyone about to read this comment. Just being as considerate as I can be. Also, I know how cheesy and cringe worthy it will sound but that doesn't make it wrong.)\n\nIf I were a police Sargent, I swear I would make the officers repeat the 2nd ideal of the Windrunners from The Way of Kings every day before they left for their shift. Yes, I get that it's a cringey thing to make real world police officers recite a line from a fantasy novel, but the line is \"I will protect those who cannot protect themselves!\"\n\nThat's what their job is. That's all we're paying them to do. If they lose sight of that objective at any time, they and by extension we, are failing to do right by our fellow citizens.\n\nWe don't need people on the job with the sole intent of doing anything besides making sure that, through their actions, more people are going home at the end of the night. Including but not more importantly, themselves.\n\nWhen they see an armed bank robber (to use the cliched example from the movies) the priority should never be to make sure the bank robbers don't get away, it should be that the hostages or the people inside the bank *do* get away. If that means having the bank robbers get away. Then the bank robbers get away. \n\nI would rather they fail to apprehend than fail to protect. Now, I understand that you have to adjust the slider on \"Apprehend\" and \"Protect\" to suit the situation. If you're chasing a terrorist that is going to kill 2 million people with a bomb if you don't catch him, yeah, the means are more justified by the ends but if you're just wanting to make sure a jackass meth head doesn't escape with $300 from the 7-11, and you catch a bystander in your cross fire? Then you have failed. \n\nThe life of an innocent person is never worth any amount of money. Their life is only worth the lives of more innocents. Even then only when it is unavoidable and completely necessary, not haphazardly executed. The goal, again, should always be in protecting that life and others. Even the life of the criminal should be weighed and balanced.\n\nI am, in no way, going to be surprised by the ones who will read this and say, \"Fuck them! They made their choice!\" That's true but so did the cops. They decided to put on that uniform and enact the virtues that go along with it. No one's life is worth money. No a soul's! Things, including cash, are replaceable. The life of people can't be bought and should always be taken with the greatest and most careful consideration possible. \n\nI don't hate cops either. My sister served on the force and her husband was a Sheriff's Deputy. He was good to her and never mistreated her in any way. He was, and likely still is, a good man. (Even though they're not together any more.) He introduced me to other good officers that I was friends with until I moved out of the area and still keep Facebook contact with.\n\nI work with a man whose son is a cop and feels very similarly to me. He was vocal about what he expected from his son, \"If you're joining the police for an excuse to hurt and kill people, you'll not be considered my son and won't be welcomed in this house!\" was the gist of what was said to him. I respect him a lot for that.\n\nThere is no excuse that translates to the absolutely unprecedented amount of killings that have happened in the U.S. recently (and throughout our history before \"credible eye witnesses\". By which I mean camera footage that was clear as HD quality would allow, that prevented cover ups and discounted eye witness testimony from people who saw worthless cops do despicable things.)\n\nThe officers who have been trying to do right by their gods, their community, their families, and themselves are absolutely heroes. Even those who have taken lives in the line of duty. Those who have been shot at and instead of cowering in fear like I would likely do, they ran in and put their **proper** police training to the test as well as their own courage. If they were forced with no other option than to save the lives of the men and women they work with, the life of a victim, that of a bystander or the life of the perpetrator. I hope they shoot the perpetrator of the crime every. single. time!\n\nThey just need to make sure that whatever needs to happen to make sure that in all but the most rare of cases, the unavoidable instances where it cannot be helped based on the information given at the time, that no one but the *right* people die.\n\nThey should have to swear to everything they care about the oath that \"I will protect those who cannot protect themselves.\" and then consider the ideal that \"I will protect even those I hate, so long as it is right.\" for the next one.\n\nA worthy real world concept can be found in a fictional source.

If there is no corroborating evidence then the prosecuting barrister may suggest that you’ve made up your alibi. It’s up to the jury to decide though.\n\nI should also add that defendants / suspects can not be compelled to give any evidence in a police station or a court so everyone has the right to remain fully silent and not give any evidence. \n\n",

"The REASON 90% of the country lives that close to the border is BECAUSE of the extreme cold. \n\nYes, a good chunk of our population lives in southern Ontario, southern Quebec, Vancouver and the maritimes, and it's because those conditions(our warmest) are the closest to the coldest US states making them the most habitable. \n\nThose places are also where our immigration cities are, meaning a lot of newcomers stay there instead of moving across the country.\n\nTake a look at the jet streams and wind currents and how the arctic air moves across the continent and you'll realize how the border is a very good representation of how the air current moves north to eastwards. \n\nhttps://www.windy.com/?temp,55.078,-72.246,4,a:CCqGU\n\nYes, some of that cold air blows across the mid west, but that's our normal winter temperatures, where our extremes are much much colder and rarely reach the US. Our winter also lasts much longer because we have more cloud cover, meaning the snow takes longer to melt away as the wind blows over it keeping everything frozen.\n\n---\n\nOne last thing. 10% of our population lives away from the border, outside of our cities. We have settlements all across the arctic circle, where people live so far north that trees and vegetation can't grow.\n\nJust because the population is small, doesn't mean they don't exist. Canada is a hard country to thrive in, if it wasn't it would be full of Americans leaving the US for better opportunities, because i can assure you that despite everything we still enjoy a higher quality of life and are happier overall. \n\n---\n\nHere's another one I found, Snow depth:\n\nhttps://www.windy.com/overlays?snowcover,48.575,-96.943,4,a:CCqGU\n\nYou notice that the only places in the US covered in snow are the mountains, while the entirety of Canada is buried in snow. How much of a difference in windchill do you think that makes? A hell of a lot. It easily drops the temperature another 10 degrees celcius, making -20'C feel like -30'C and so on. \n\nThe snow is literally up to my fucking second floor right now and i've been throwing my back out trying to clear my driveway because the snow is higher than i can throw. Hell, it's higher than my neighbour's snowblower can throw.\n\nFuck winter, and fuck you thinking it's even close to being the same. \n\n\n",

It is the job of the higher courts to ensure appropriate precedent is being followed, and being set. These can escalate all the way to the Supreme Court of Canada which is the highest appeals court and the ultimate authority on all Canadian law. Its decisions are binding on all courts, and so the Supreme Courts job is to ensure the spirit of the law is upheld across the nation. This trickles down through the lower courts, which each taking responsibility for their respective jurisdiction but being bound by the decisions of those above.\n\nAdditionally, Canadian judges do not really have any motivation to make murder rates look better. In the US, as I understand it, judges are elected and there is a significant political component to a judges career. That's not the case in Canada. Canadian judges are not elected. Court cases are also not assigned to specific judges. Cases are assigned to a court, and any judge who sits there may hear any part of the case. You could have several judges in the same court presiding over related hearings. There is not really a political component in the courts. Having a good public image isn't something they have to worry about.\n\nIn fact, the only time a judge is really brought up is when they make an egregious decision, and that's not in their best interest at all.\n\n\n",

"This. I work in EMS and have worked alongside law enforcement my whole adult life and the shit we have to put up with is horrific. \n\nImagine going to work for a 12 hour shift. First job of the day is to go to a teenager who's hanged herself in her parents house while they were out. You discover the body, then as youre securing the scene her parents arrive back home, completely unaware of what has happened. You have to meet them out the front, explain why there is an ambulance and two police cars parked on their drive, and explain their daughter took her own life in their hallway.\n\nNo sooner have you done this, you're called to break up a fight in the street. You arrive and sure enough there's a group of big drunk lads all scrapping. You have to intervene alone and end up getting punched in the face, racially abused, and spat on. Eventually other officers arrive and the fight is controlled.\n\nNext up you get called to a car accident. Three vehicles involved and one person trapped inside. As you're driving there you get updated that the trapped vehicle has caught fire and firefighters are still en route. You arrive to a terrible scene of blood, twisted metal, and glass everywhere. You see the car, with an elderly male trapped inside burning. There is nothing you can do. You can just stand there and hear his screams as he burns to death 10ft away from you and you can't do anything to help.\n\nAs soon as that is cleared you get sent to a domestic. Woman has called in crying saying her husband has been keeping her locked in their room and raping and beating her for a week. You arrive and husband answers the door. You convince him to let you in and the woman is sitting in the living room, silent, with two black eyes and bruises all over her neck from where she's been strangled. Husband says nothing has happened. Woman says nothing has happened either and she didn't mean to ring 999, it was just a prank call. You arrest the husband anyway, and due to the woman not making a statement or giving any evidence the court throws out the case and husband gets released. \n\nAfter dealing with the paperwork from that your shift has now been 19 hours without a proper break. You eventually go home and while on the way home you hear on the radio how shit the police are, how they're a failure and can't do their job right. You hear politicians who know nothing of the job criticising every aspect of your performance.\n\nYou get home, don't have time or energy to make any decent food. Crawl into bed with your wife, 7 hours after you said you would. She's asleep, but has to get up in 3 hours for work, waking you up with her. You lie awake for an hour remembering the hanging girl, eyes red and swollen, tongue bleeding and hands swinging gently as you open the door. You remember the old man in the car, living his last few minutes in agonising pain, wishing he was back at home safe with his grandchildren and wife knowing that he'll never see them again. You think of the woman, probably locked up again getting strangled and raped as you lie there. \n\nTwo hours later your wife gets up for work waking you up in the process. You drag yourself downstairs to have a coffee to try and stay awake, then put on the uniform again, and go and repeat the whole thing again.",

I'm that sense, I'm really asking is if the systems are actually different, or if the wording emphasizes a slightly different element there.

It's pretending you just heard, retained, and understood a long set of verbal instructions your boss just laid out to you face to face when in reality, you know you caught about 40-50% of it and will need to ask for further clarification at some point. It's being unable to read important materials because although they are essential, they are written in a dry and uninteresting manner. It's constantly apologizing to those you love for forgetting incredibly important tasks and events. For being late AGAIN even when you promised you wouldn't be. It's caring so much and still failing because the issue isn't how much you care, it's a profound problem with time management and other executive functions. You SHOULD be able to do everything right, you WANT to do everything the way you're expected to, but you can't. It's having all of the responsibilities of an adult and the follow-through of an adolescent. It's also many wonderful things like being creative, obsessive, and driven in your interests.

Unfortunately, all cops are trying to be the good guys, but they have to do things that others don’t like, so they are already getting painted in a bad image.\n \nThere is also a solidarity factor. Cops won’t want to be cops if they get thrown under the bus for every little mistake, so their Sheriffs/Chiefs have to give a public image of supporting their actions while correcting the mistakes out of the public eye.

"My point was how your sarcasm was unwarranted. Our American approach to a \"justice\" system is deserving of being called \"evil\" even if we just consider the extreme negligence it takes to get things to this point.",
"I don't necessarily disagree with any of that. The only real point was that regardless of the value of conviction, if someone gets declared not guilty when the (in my example, wrongly obtained) evidence would've otherwise been found guilty, then that value is not achieved.\n\nIf there's zero value in a conviction, then we may as well just not bother.",

"It’s not really unwarranted at all. American police have a horrendously demanding job for shit pay that privileged people like you criticize them for, despite there being zero chance you’d last a month in their shoes.",
"No group of people deserves to be generally glorified. That's how you get fascism. \n\nI would also say no group deserves to be shamed, but we're talking about social situations that should be fixed through social organization.\n\nWith that in mind, cops are \"us.\" They're our public servants who act to protect Americans through our government systems ***we*** have in place. They are our employees. Poor blacks, poor people in general, whoever you might want to demonize, are not under our dominance. They're just citizens, and they're people who are rebelling against society because of the pressures they feel.\n\nNeeding money is a threat, yet we enshrine capitalism as our glorious ideology and refuse to consider our morals without filtering them through capitalism. What if criminals arise because they feel like their lives are over from the start? What if poverty and poor education turn them into animals, life-long rebels with no hope for rehabilitation? Do we continue to create more of those people for the future by draining away wealth from the poor and making \"jobs\" harder to get and less fulfilling?\n\nI'm way beyond most people's thinking. I refuse to filter my morals through capitalism anymore, and looking back at your comment, I see that's exactly what you did. You're empathizing with police because you know they're getting poor wages, too. Their jobs are degrading, objectifying, and they get very dangerous because of increasing poverty/rebellion, yet we don't seem to consider the bigger picture. We can save those police from living in shit situations by ensure *everyone* has better labor conditions such that police aren't constantly on edge about the next poor person feeling like their \"third strike\" or some bullshit felony is about to destroy their entire life. If you follow the basic logic of a sociopathic rebel life, you can understand exactly why they'd be shooting cops, and following that logic you can also understand why cops always have their finger on the trigger. \n\nIt's a vicious cycle, but what can we *actually do* aside from just stand on our pedestals and shame \"the bad guys\"? ",
"You really need to get outside and do something with your life",
"You are like the process of putting a cat into a bathtub. It doesn't matter in the slightest bit that you(I) know [this could happen.](http://i.imgur.com/pF6tbRU.gif) You'd be clawing for the edge and yowling because the sensory stimulus is beyond your capacity of acceptance. \n\nI'd say a person like you needs to do shrooms. I've never done it, too fucking horrified of how hallucinogens would twist my mind's perpetual meta state, but I can honestly say you would benefit from the process if you otherwise follow the standard precautions. You know, trusted friends who've done it before, plenty of free time, no staring into mirrors, etc. \n\nPlan for a week or two, accomplish this goal, then return sometime in three weeks to a month. I'll continue this discussion. Hallucinogens actually dissolve all the illusions you build up over time, and that allows most people to be free. I naturally do this, though, so I believe my illusions might be the only reason I haven't killed myself. \n\nI mean, that's a fear. I'm a paranoid person, but I'm also sensible enough to know how my inability to even smoke weed without crushing anxiety might translate to dissociatives. \n\nThree weeks to a month. Single dose of shrooms, quantity is up to you after research. I'm sure you'll know if you succeeded. ",
"The crime occurred after they meditated though?",

Maybe it is becuase I know anthrax is a bitch to make without killing yourself but I have felt the cold steel of a handgun against my temple twice in my life.\nAlso I am Australian, I am more likely to be killed by a red back in the mail box than a lone wolf terrorist.\nHell, just 5 days ago I was drugged, robbed and left in the street.

"I just wanted to say thank you so much for your comment. As a 25 year old with ADHD, I have a hard time explaining what ADHD is and why I struggle so much everyday. \n\nIt’s almost as if they (my relatives) don’t believe it to be a serious disability. ",
"We have difficulty regulating our emotions, but it can sometimes be done with great effort. I tend to wear my true feelings on my face. I've been told I'm very 'expressive'. No need to guess how I'm feeling. If I'm happy I'm smiling ear to ear and laughing the whole time. I have extreme highs and lows. Luckily, I don't get very angry. If one day I do, I fear what I will look like to myself. \n\nAs for following conversations and paying attention to other people, that would depend on the conversation and the person. In general, we have a very hard time focusing our attention on and retaining anything that at the time is understimulating. Boredom causes in us something akin to physical pain. It's a squirming discomfort that is truly intolerable after a while. It's why kids with ADHD have so much trouble doing homework that is uninteresting and why going shopping with a parent at a 'boring' store can be a nightmare.\n\nWe need dopamine fixes. Someone we admire telling an interesting story will have us more riveted relative to a neurotypical person. We are prone to obsessions for this reason. It can become a great asset though, we can focus on a task we find stimulating for hours on end. \n\nIf someone with ADHD is having trouble paying attention to you, it may not be that they dislike you, it's more likely that what is being said isn't giving them any kind of thrill. They could be already in a poor state of awareness and any addition that doesn't flood them with dopamine is typically just going to overwhelm or simply fall flat on them. \n\nIt can look like we're dicks sometimes, and by normal standards one would say we are. However, we can't help it and it's usually just as frustrating to us (and we thank you for your patience lol). ",
"The best way I can describe it is it's like constantly opening browser tabs in your brain. I dwell on things a lot longer than most people, I tend to work very fast and make a lot of little mistakes. People who don't really know me would describe me as \"high strung\" and I probably seem really stressed or anxious - which I am sometimes - but for the most I just talk very fast. I do a lot of things on autopilot, which causes me to be very forgetful. I've been known to just wander off and forget passports at check in kiosks at the airport, leave my wallet on my car while filling up with gas, etc. I will get laser focused on some tasks, but only for a while, and then I will stop it, sometimes to never pick it up again (for example: one of my \"ah-ha!\" moments was as a kid I would get really obsessed with playing a musical instrument, get good enough to say I did it, then move on to something else. In many things, I was a jack of all trades but master of none). I have trouble being on time... I will make lists like, for example, groceries, but never reference the list when I'm at the store. I'll just go by memory, even if the paper is in my pocket. Ditto for recipes. I don't just have a tough time \"sitting still\", but fully relaxing. My brain is always looking for stimulation so even when I'm supposed to be chilling out, I'm planning my chilling out (\"I'll read this book for an hour, then I'll go swim for 15 min, then maybe get food for a bit, etc\", then the plan changes about a million times). I shy away from novels and movies because they're often a bit too long to retain my interest. It may just be because they're boring in some cases, but in general, I will read magazines/short stories and watch TV episodes. Sooo many examples and a lot of them sound really ridiculous, or even like common things, especially in today's rushed and multitasking society, but it is definitely the real deal. \n\nAs I mentioned to another poster, I haven't pursued, mainly because I'm worried that I wouldn't feel \"like me\". I've seen therapists in the past to manage symptoms just to make life feel a little less overwhelming at times. Modern technology like phone reminders have been great for helping me keep track of commitments (that is, if I don't procrastinate putting it in the phone in the first place). It's still challenging, and I feel like there's still a stigma attached to it so I don't talk about it often. There aren't a lot of adults that admit to having ADHD, but I've noticed it more in adulthood than any other time in my life. Maybe because I don't have the excuse of being a distracted energetic kid anymore? \n\nI hope that answered *some* questions. In typical ADHD fashion, my answer is all over the map! ;-) \n\nETA: words",
"Not sure if this happens to everyone with adhd but it is extremely difficult for me to follow conversations, especially in group settings. Midway through a conversation I’ll remember a distant thought about something completely irrelevant. \n\nFor instance, we’ll be talking about politics and somewhere along will come the random thought about a mushroom with the consistency of packaged dry ice cream. It will be completely off topic and useless to the conversation, but it will happen unexpectedly.",
"I'm a hemophiliac. I'm fairly certain I trust my own experiences to know how any blood letting would go for me.",
"No problem, I enjoy trying to get those experiences into words. I'm 25 as well. \n\nMy family and friends are 'supportive', but many don't cut me too much slack for it when it inevitably effects them in some negative way. It's part of the reason we messed up, but not an excuse for it. However, it isn't our fault that it's the reason, and it's only natural that we'd try to bring it up in our own defense. \n\nFor many years I didn't even have that reason or 'excuse'. It was just seen as irresponsible, lazy, disappointing, etc, when I would consistently fuck up. We got to own it but take no shit and cut ourselves some slack. Nobody without it has any real way of knowing what it's like.",
"It was worth trying, for me. You can always voluntarily go off of it, or take it as needed in whatever frequency you choose. It's one of the more valuable tools I've found. Before I tried it I was very resistant and was more into 'natural' ways of coping (plant based medicines, meditation, etc).",
"Society would be better if everyone took a nap every day.",
"Couldn't agree more! \n\n\nOne project, I was working on, was not so tight on schedule and they had no office or place where I could work. I'd do 90% of the work from home. I delivered 8 hours of quality work per day, but each day, after eating my lunch, I'd take a short nap - 20 minutes tops. I didn't charge it to the client and I worked from 08:00 till 17:00. \n\n\nIt was relaxing and my concentration was great after that. I was not sleepy and the problems seemed to solve themselves. \n\n\nI also noticed that my energy levels were much better. ",
">visible minority group\n\nWe have over 13,000,000 black people alone. You have a minute fraction of the black people the US has. \n\nAccording to your census, you dont even have a million black people living in Canada.",
"More that I believe you are so insufferable and so self important that it was that important to let you know that. \n\nAlso, the more you have to point out that you don't care, the more it comes off that you clearly do.\n\nand why would you caring about me matter?",
"It's true. That's why I said there needs to be a balance between the competing priorities - fair and proper behaviour by law enforcement vs thorough justice.\n\nLaw enforcement personnel who break the law to do their job need to be held fully and severely accountable for their actions. Agencies who fail to ensure their personnel follow those rules also need to be held to account. I simply don't think that throwing the baby out with the bathwater is the way to go.",
"You know, we only really need one law. \"Don't be an asshole\". If we did that, everything else will be fine. ",
"LOL!",
"Who the hell said anything about it being protocol at any point, or that it had to be an entire department to qualify?\n\nI wouldn't be particularly surprised if there was a police department somewhere in some predominantly Buddhist country where meditation at the start of each day was encouraged by the establishment. That does not seem particularly far fetched to me...but it's not what I said. What I said was that out of the several million police officers on the planet, I'd bet there are some who meditate every morning.\n\nI'm fairly confident I'd win that bet. You can't tell me I'd lose the bet after you've added a bunch of caveats to it that I said nothing about...that's not how betting works.",
"As long as everyone followed it and agreed on what being an asshole meant, yeah. That'd be nice... ",
"well we don't want all the people from the courts to be out of work, and all those poor lawyers, so they can decide. What could go wrong?",
"So? We have a huge number of visible minorities and a \"minute fraction\" of your violence per capita. It's called a cultural difference -- ours isn't centered around guns, military, and violence.",
"Is there a harm in dictating a national policy that requires all police departments to conduct descalation and conflict resolution training?",

"I would be surprised to find that Kabat-Zinn does describe explicitly a separation from mind. It's incoherent: The observing \"I\" and the internal state under observation are the same thing. It's also, as I indicated, the exact opposite understanding on which mindfulness proceeds. The belief that one can separate self from self leads to dissociation (\"this is me; this is not me\" when it's a unity) and denial (\"these troublesome thoughts are *separate* events from other physiological or psychological happenings\" - a falsehood). \n\nIf you're saying separate, and I'm saying *not* separate, we're not saying the same thing and not referencing the same understanding.\n\n> “Ultimately, mindfulness is intimacy—with ourselves and the world—underneath any **apparent** separation between the two.\n--*Jon Kabat-Zinn, Wherever You Go, There You Are*\n\nMy comment was that meditation has aims that are more diverse than eastern-imported mindfulness; that relaxation can be an aim in itself of meditation, even if *mindfulness* meditation proceeds without aim, object, or striving, etc. It's not more or less \"on point\" to indicate relaxation and stress-reduction are aims as much as non-judgmental awareness. Each are worthy pursuits. It's also Jon Kabat-Zinn who imported eastern practices as Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction. "

"Alaska Airlines Flight 261 was a scheduled international passenger flight on January 31, 2000 from Lic. Gustavo Díaz Ordaz International Airport in Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco, Mexico, to Seattle-Tacoma International Airport in Seattle, Washington, United States, with an intermediate stop at San Francisco International Airport in San Francisco, California.[1]:xii The aircraft, a McDonnell Douglas MD-83, crashed into the Pacific Ocean about 2.7 miles (4.3 km) north of Anacapa Island, California, after suffering a catastrophic loss of pitch control. The crash killed everyone aboard: two pilots, three cabin crew members, and 83 passengers.\n\nhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alaska_Airlines_Flight_261",
"In cases like this, is there sought after ‘one culprit’ who showed negligence in his job and didn’t maintain this screw? Or is it considered a commercial accident? Alot of people got killed, somebody was responsible - do they get away with a ‘eh my bad’?",
"The pilots on this flight managed to gain control of their plane, briefly, while upside down and fully aware that they were going to die. Heroic until the end. ",
"Comforting",
"Always good to know.",
"And there's over a million links on those planes that have been around for decades.",
"They tend to operate a \"no blame\" culture so that mistakes aren't hidden. I can't remember when the shift to that attitude happened, but it resulted in a decrease in accidents (fatal and non-fatal). ",
"I can see how that makes sense. But are there reprecussions to that person? Does he loose his job? After all he caused a fatal accident, killing hundreds - he shouldn’t be operating in this firld of work. That scree didn’t fuck up because he forgot to maintain it once ._.\nThen again, it looks like it never got a proper check at any airport it landed before successfully",
"Well that's terrifying. Thanks. ",
"Well it was his own life to",
"Read the article that OP linked to. It summarises the decisions leading to that event and it wasn't something that could be attributed to one person. A primary factor was extending the maintenance interval. Things like that are common methods of saving costs, but who do you on the blame on? The board pushing to lower costs? The head of maintenance deciding this was the best method? There are so many potential sources and none of them decided on their actions alone.\n\nThat's part of why the no blame culture makes sense.
