Well if it isn’t the consequences of your own actions. Good riddance.

Awoo ,

Not sure anyone deserves to be executed by a door kicking squad of jackbooted goons just for posting stupid shit on the internet. Certainly arrest and investigate them but this shit is dystopian.

Zeroxxx ,

Threats should be taken seriously.

Dont want to be shot dead? Dont threaten anyone, especially president

Awoo , (edited )

Least bloodthirsty liberal.

People post stupid ass shit on the internet. You don’t deal with it by summary execution from a deathsquad that kicks down their door you absolute psychopath. You’re defending and even advocating for extrajudicial murder. Are you surprised that your country is turning to fascism when this is what you the so-called left advocate for? You’re incredibly far right and don’t even realise it. When people advocating for extrajudicial deathsquads are supposedly the left of the country it’s no fucking wonder america is turning to fascism.

Dude, no, unless you’re aiming a gun at somebody, there is due process for you, otherwise rule of law is…uh…gone. Maybe next time a Trump gets elected, he’ll have anybody who writes “fuck Trump” online assassinated.

masterspace ,

Consequences of the 2nd amendment.

In countries where someone like that isn’t allowed to own guns, the cops show up and arrest him. In the US he pulls out one or many of his legally owned firearms and gets himself justifiably shot.

Awoo ,

It has fuck all to do with that. Some in my family own guns. I’m not going to get someone kicking my door down and executing me if I said what he said.

I’ll be visited absolutely. But executed by a deathsquad? Fuck no. You’re out of your mind.

masterspace ,

Lmao, if you post that you’re going to shoot FBI agents if they come to your door, and then they do and you grab a gun they will absolutely shoot you.

Why is it not world news? Every news article is local to somewhere.

EvilEyedPanda ,

Bipta ,

World news, to me, is stuff that affects the world at large. This is what would fit in news or offbeat on Reddit, but never worldnews.

livus ,
@livus@kbin.social avatar

Ah, thanks, this explains a phenomenon that has been troubling me.

To me world news is about news from around the world. Probably things that affect a considerable number of people, though, are more newsworthy.

For example, 315,000 people just lost their homes to landslides and flash flooding, and have nowhere else to go. Several lives lost.

I'm not seeing the story picked up much in western news cycles, and but if your criteria is it has to affect the world at large, that would be why.

fear ,
@fear@kbin.social avatar

Not the one with the complaint, but I can see their point. Decapitations during birth happen around the world several times a year, with only some of those cases ever going to the news. When they do hit the news, they spread quickly because of the shock factor. Yet the general public may come away from this not realizing it's is far from the first time and won't be the last.

I'd say this would make a great world news article if some of the prior cases from across the world were also mentioned, and the bigger issue of women being dismissed by their doctors was prominently referenced with supporting studies.

Yikes, really? New fear unlocked.

I guess another example of this would be bubonic plague. It ticks away in the background and every once in a while people freak out.

autotldr Bot , to worldnews in Ecuador politician murder suspects are Colombian, police say

This is the best summary I could come up with:


The six detainees have been identified as Andres M, Jose N, Eddy G, Camilo R, Jules C, and Jhon Rodriguez, Mr Zapata told a press conference on Thursday.

He added that during the police raid that resulted in their arrest, officers found a rifle, a submachine gun, four pistols, three grenades, four boxes of ammunition, two motorbikes, and a vehicle that had been reported stolen in the group’s possession.

A vocal critic of organized crime, Mr Villavicencio was one of the few presidential candidates to allege links between corruption and government officials.

Mr Villavicencio, a member of the country’s national assembly, had received threats from a gang calling itself Los Choneros last month and had been given a security detail.

He was one of eight candidates in the running for the first round of the election with a focus on fighting corruption - and he and his team had been threatened by the leader of a gang linked to drug-trafficking.

Once a relatively peaceful nation, Ecuador has been ravaged by the arrival of international drug cartels profiting from a boom in cocaine trafficking - and the issue can only grow in importance in the presidential election campaign.

autotldr Bot , to worldnews in Period poverty: In Africa, women are being priced out of buying sanitary ware

This is the best summary I could come up with:


While Ghana was the country with the least affordable menstrual products of those we surveyed, women across Africa are struggling with “period poverty” - something activists are trying to change.

According to our research, a woman in Ghana earning a minimum wage of $26 a month would have to spend $3, or one in every $7 they make to buy two packets of sanitary towels containing eight pads.

Francisca Sarpong Owusu, a researcher at the Center for Democratic Development (CDD) in Ghana, says many vulnerable girls and women are using cloth rags which they line with plastic sheets, cement paper bags and dried plantain stems when menstruating because they cannot afford disposable sanitary towels.

Many menstrual health activists say removing “tampon taxes” is one way to help women inch closer to accessing and affording sanitary products.

Across Africa, and the world, lack of access to menstrual hygiene products due to high cost or because they’re not available in rural or remote areas has had a huge impact on millions of women.

South African campaigner Nokuzola lives with endometriosis, a disease in which tissue similar to the lining of the uterus grows outside it and can make menstruation very painful.

corm , to worldnews in Man who threatened Biden shot dead in FBI raid in Utah

Ok so either he drew a gun on them or they executed him. Well it should be cleared up quickly with body cam footage.

What’s that? No body cam footage?

Right, then I’m going to have to assume they executed him while he was surrendering peacefully.

(I voted for biden, but I also don’t trust the fbi to miss a chance to shoot someone)

Corkyskog ,

I think it’s hilarious that anyone trusts the FBI right now. They have been actively involved in sabotaging progressive groups and socialist demonstrations basically since their inception. And now Republicans have a massice gripe because we have like a dozen agents that say they have been silenced after whistleblowing related to Jan 6th.

masterspace ,

You can assume it but would you bet any meaningful amount of money on it?

This guy literally directly threatened to kill FBI agentssfyer they came to talkvto him.

Gravity, The weak force, Electromagnetic force, The strong nuclear force

Lord_McAlister ,

If I remember there’s weak and strong nuclear force, then two others.

SpaceNoodle ,

No, there’s two others, then the nuclear forces

sanguinepar ,

I think there’s a nuclear force, then two others, then another nuclear force. But I could be wrong.

Maybe it’s nuclear forces all the way down

Yes, but the real nuclear forces were the friends we made along the way.

  1. Strong nuclear force: holds the nucleus of an atom together
  2. Weak nuclear force: responsible for radioactive decay
  3. Electromagnetic force: of charged particles
  4. Gravitational force: attractive force between objects with mass
CanadaPlus ,

Not all decays are weak-based, though, and not all weak phenomina are directly related to radioactivity. That’s just the only thing a layman has heard of where it’s relevant.

The strong force only holds atoms together through a sort of trickle-down force, too, but that one feels like splitting hairs.

133arc585 ,
@133arc585@lemmy.ml avatar

The person I replied to wasn’t able to name the forces beyond gravity, so I think over-simplification and reduction to specific phenomena they would have heard of is appropriate.

Gotcha, no problem, I did take it as criticism of my comment but that was a reflex.

CanadaPlus ,

Reading it back I don’t blame you. It does come across as an attempt to argue.

cwade12c ,

The body of the article lists them, they just aren’t listed in the title.

SheeEttin ,

They’re literally listed in the article

Knusper ,

Well, the article currently lists them as: gravity, electromagnetism, the strong force and the weak force.

If you’re not familiar, you wouldn’t be able to guess that the last two are nuclear forces and in the context of a new force, that list is rather confusing.

I mean what was supposed to happen? Are we meant to be scared of the FBI? They can’t even take down an overweight elderly man with a combover…

MiDaBa ,

The guy openly posted that the FBI wouldn’t dare raid him because they’d get a 45 ACP in the face. I’m no law enforcement apologist but that kind of boast can put people on edge. Specific threats of violence should never be acceptable.

It’s worth pointing out that the victim probably isn’t in social circles where the government killing people for no reason all the time gets much attention.

“The complaint said Robertson came to the attention of federal agents in March after he posted a threat against Mr Bragg on Truth Social, the social network owned by Mr Trump. The company alerted the FBI’s National Threat Operations Center.

FBI agents then visited the suspect, who told them that the post was a “dream” and ended the conversation by saying: “We’re done here! Don’t return without a warrant!””

Not only does Truth Social narc on him, but the “dreams” defense was a true sign of just how far gone that asshole was.

False ,

You know you goofed when Truth Social turns you in to the feds

socsa ,

Truth social is in it for the grift, not for the heat. They aren’t really the revolutionary counterculture fortress they make themselves out to be. They just figured out that stupid people are easy to monetize. Which is rapidly becoming MBA canon for all social media.

Corkyskog ,

Honestly monetizing stupidity if you don’t have any personal morals is exceptionally easy. I often get jealous at the revenues even some of the simplest of these gifts are, and monkeypaw wish I was a shittier person.

Asafum ,

It’s why every scammer goes after old people. They usually aren’t as sharp as they once were unfortunately…

My coworker just told me a story about his grandmother being robbed of 300k because some asshat came to her house and said she absolutely had to have the roof redone asap or it would collapse on her… She drove him to the bank and emptied her account… I was infuriated hearing about that and that he got away…

PowerCrazy ,

Why do you say that? Do you think an obvious grift like truth social isn’t going to be play nice with the government? Why would any action they do hold more weight then something like facebook, reddit or lemmy?

interdimensionalmeme ,

I imagine they put him down like a dog after he said that. I also imagine they just killed him first and made up that statement afterwards. Who’s going to contradict the crazed armed murderers, not the dead guy I can tell you that, just ask Fred Hampton.

judgeholden ,

it’s a really bizarre story, I can’t find a single article explaining what actually happened. usually the cops lie and say he drew a weapon on them, or shot at them first, or they feared for their lives or something. there’s nothing with this, they’re just saying he’s dead.

interdimensionalmeme ,

It all boils down to, there used to be subbed crazy idiot mouthing off to his phone. Then the cops came and now there’s a dead body.

This is what’s on the table with cop interaction, they’re going to kill you. They know the game better than you, they’ll always find a way to justify it and you’ll be too much of a rotting course to care.

From Wikipedia: this is only a 1-sigma result compared to theory using lattice calculations. It would have been 5.1-sigma if the calculation method had not been improved.
Many calculations in the standard model are mathematically intractable with current methods, so improving approximate solutions is not trivial and not surprising that we've found improvements.

slackassassin ,

So what? I mean, not to be shitty, but this is important work that allows for this downplayed and pedantic take to even exist.

Experimental verifications should be celebrated, and the fact that they’re not is the problem with the current state of science journalism.

Working on it

Derproid ,

I’m really sorry your feeling that way, no one deserves to feel like the best decision is death. I’ve been there and I wouldn’t wish that feeling on anyone. I know you don’t want to hear anyone tell you “Oh just stick it out life gets better!” because if you’re like I was that’s just a fantasy that never comes. But if you’ll take any advice I’d suggest finding something you love to do and just making that your life’s work, don’t worry about anything else. That’s what I did, gave up on everything else and just focused on that for a few years, eventually things ended up turning out alright for me.

PunnyName ,

Ah, backpedaling now, eh?

I care not about your platitudes.

Be better, and fuck off.

Derproid ,

Really? I made a sarcastic comment and then when I realized another human being going through a serious struggle I’ve gone through before I try to show compassion. This is why I said you need to stop caring about all this crap that makes life no

Ya know what fuck it whatever be miserable if you want to.
