Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

A camera can only show us what it sees. It doesn't objectively necessitate a viewer's interpretation of it. I remember some of us being called down to the principal's office (before the age of footage-based scandals, which if anything imply shortcoming in the people progressing the rulings to be in so much awe at, sadly a common occurrence, adding to the "normal people distaste" I have, and something authorities have made sure I'm no stranger to) who may say "we saw you on the camera doing something against the rules" only to be responded to with "that's not me, I have an alibi" or "that's not me, I wouldn't wear that jacket" or "that's not me, I can't do that person's accent" (aforementioned serial slander of me serving as a prime example where this would be the case). In connection to the process, you might say it's witness testimony from a machine and that they've "just started" to get into the habit of not being very honest to the humans in thw court. ~~I remember my first lie.~~
