Speeding Seattle officer who struck and killed student will not face charges in c/news@lemmy.world

Your answer reads the most reasonably here IMO. I have crossed a road at a run to beat an approaching car before, and had I been struck it definitely would've been my fault for not practicing proper safety. Thankfully, that didn't happen. A crappy situation all around, though, and I wish that other cop who made those dumb remarks would face some consequences for being so callous.

I love this show, but I do believe the story is a bit weaker toward the end of the season. I don't want to post spoilers, but some injuries should not be so easily shrugged off lol.

Walmart, Costco and other companies rethink self-checkout, some stores removing them in c/technology@lemmy.world

Prefer self checkout because no talking and I'm typically faster than most cashiers. Nothing sucks more than waiting 3 mins while a new cashier tries to figure out if you handed then a turnip or a rutabaga lmao.

Pet Adoption Down (kbin.social)
 

Probably going to be obvious that I never post here, but the article at https://www.newsweek.com/american-animal-rescue-shelters-breaking-point-1846274]() details the woes animal shelters face after the pandemic. Surprisingly, it isn't the return of COVID pets that is driving the high population of animals languishing in shelters... it is the economy. With no one looking for an extra mouth to feed and vet bills, bringing home a puppy isn't on many agendas.

Just my two cents, but I'd also personally blame stringent requirements for adoption as well. It seems to be common practice for adoption agencies to require fenced in yards and sometimes even elements that discourage workers who work full, 8 hour days from adopting. These are things that a growing number of people likely cant provide. In the wake of it all, breeders - both unethical and ethical - bridge the gap.

I'm with you. Lots of randoms giving their opinions on something that other randoms can show their support for? Huh... alright, I guess.

I believe they grow around the world, and iirc from a news report, she declined to comment on where/if she picked them. Could be wrong, though.
