Right, it would be started basically exactly the opposite. Certainly not a statement followed by an if block.

Those would all start with the if, followed by two conditions, not a statement and then an if. There would be a condition to evaluate, followed by then/else?
Maybe it’s just worse when written. The period at the end of the sentence makes it hard to see how it could be misunderstood.
To your point though, not sure if I’m aware of any programming language that would continue a statement with a following if block. Far more likely that it would fail due to lack of an element to apply the 6 to rather than having a pointer to the previous object, or he would try getting what ever the literal version of a 6 would be, or maybe some slang version.
I think the question he has is why would you have to ‘invoke’ a right they literally spelled out to you just seconds before?
If the cop pointed to a glass of water on the table and said ‘you have the right to drink this water’ and you drink the water, and later you’re prosecuted for stealing water, or your blatant disregard for property was used against you in court, because you didn’t explicitly state ‘ok, i am invoking my right to drink this water’…
Aside from emotionally abusive relationships, what other party of life are you explicitly told you have the right to do something and then abused for doing it? It’s basically manipulation disguised as helpful information.
From the squiggly lines coming from their heads, my current guess is that it’s like sometime dropping their heads into their hands after working hard on something just to see it carelessly ruined and knowing they’re expected to just do it again, like a bunch of workers spending all day putting up a brick wall and then someone backing into it with a car.

Wild Marketplace @sh.itjust.works•$50 for a print? This guy's margins must be insaneEnglish
1·1 month agoIt does seem like he’s trying to make his money back on a commission or something. If you had to design and tweak this that’s not a crazy price, but if he charged someone that and then thinks he can just make a bunch more for a similar price that’s definitely too high.
For what it’s ‘worth’ though, would be shocking for someone to pay that for a novelty piece with reasonably high quality for a 3d print.

Ask Me Anything@lemmy.ca•I am something called a "fictionkin" and have entire lore on my parallel identities and an alternate universe I wanna be in, AMA.
3·1 month agoWhat do you mean you identify as them. Like you would like to be them? Or you consider yourself the fictional person? Like you consider yourself to actually be the character, or you are that character in real life with all the characteristics you attribute to them? It seems direct enough just to live as them with the same name and personality and backstory as you see it.

News@lemmy.world•Florida man kills wife, shoots stepdaughter after fight over NFL game: Don't shoot me'
1·1 month agoThat does make sense, but seems like if that was a component of the situation it might have been mentioned, but it references him going in to finish watching the game in the living room. Sounds a whole lot more like a drinking thing and less likely to be about ‘what’ he was pissed off about.

Home Video (VHS, DVD, Blu-ray, 4k)@feddit.uk•I ditched Netflix Premium for 4K Blu-ray, and I might never go back
34·1 month agoHow click-baity can you get? From reading the article, he was comparing the two and apparently not only has he not even cancelled Netflix, he basically says he’s not sure he would ever be ready to give it up. As far as i can tell, he wrote the article basically to brag about having a Marshall appointment and kind of liking the feeling of buying the discs.

News@lemmy.world•Google CEO Says We're All Going to Have to Suffer Through It as AI Puts Society Through the Woodchipper
13·1 month agoWell, can you imagine being given a million dollars and someone coming along and saying ‘oh, sorry, you didn’t withdraw that in time and now it’s no longer there, and you owe use a $100 transaction fee’. That would really suck, wouldn’t it?
Now imagine that happening 10 times a day, and you can start to imagine how horrible some of these billionaires feel every day!
Of course to make it more realistic, your job wouldn’t require you to actually ever come into the office or do anything, they would occasionally double or triple your salary based on the stock market, and instead of it being a million dollars, it would be a dollar or so every once in awhile and you wouldn’t know what the transaction fee was because it is effectively less than a rounding error on your current balance. Also banks will loan you money and just write it off if you don’t pay it back with no impact to your credit score.

414·1 month agoOnce again, wtf does this have to do with an ‘NFL game’ that deserves space in the title? He was drinking in one place and brought that into a family shared space and didn’t like being confronted about it. Based on the rest of the article it could have been a cooking show or Bluey for all the difference it seemed to make. It’s not like there was some detail about the football game that passed him off so bad he decided to shoot two people, so why the hell is that part of the title aside from click bait?

news@lemmings.world•Missouri man accused of ‘executing’ the mother of his child after she took coins from his collectionEnglish
14·2 months agoWhy do headlines have to be so stupidly specific about a meaningless part of the situation. He also (probably) shot her ‘after’ they had breakfast, took out the garbage, watched some reality tv show…
He shot her while she was trying to stop him from leaving with their kid and arguing about drinking… The headline makes it sound like he caught her stealing his coins and pulled out a gun and shot her for it. This situation is obviously f’d up, but it’s literally just a domestic dispute that they tried click baiting.

politics @lemmy.world•Top Democrat accuses Trump of ‘panicking’ after U-turn on Epstein files vote
1·2 months agoNot sure if you’re being intentional obtuse, but the point is that some things are more important than protecting members of your own in group that don’t deserve protecting, even if it harms the group short term.
No doubt there are considerations to have it happen far enough ahead of the mid-terms so they can recover if it does implicate them, but doesn’t the fact that Democrats are willing to push for releasing the document and Trump is pushing to hide them tell you a while lot about what’s really likely in there?
Ha, that would make sense, but nope, the answer was ‘anything’. Animal husbandry or underwater basket weaving? Didn’t matter, just had to stapled to the letters BA.
Except for ‘genius’. A PhD meant you will likely be extremely well ‘informed’ about a specific topic in a very narrow field. So well informed that you will be able to come up with ‘something’ worth saying even to others that are well informed in that same field. It’s a pretty low bar with an extremely high motivation/focus/effort requirement.
I think it’s similar to a job we were hiring for that was essentially cold calling companies too sell licenses for Microsoft. To apply you were required to have a BA. A BA in what, you might ask? Well that didn’t even make it onto the form we used. It was just a checkbox. It was literally a gauge to see if you’d been able to stick through a program like that.
