JoeKrogan , to worldnews in Alicia Navarro: Girl missing for nearly four years walks into police station
@JoeKrogan@lemmy.world avatar

Thankfully she made it home safe.

MDKAOD ,

Thankfully? Sounds like she wanted to leave, is happy, healthy and well cared for. We don’t know what home life was like, and she walked into the police station to get herself off the missing persons list as shes not missing.

@JoeKrogan@lemmy.world avatar

It also said they had a happy reunion but I was speaking generally in the sense that most of these stories don’t have a happy outcome.

MDKAOD ,

“emotionally overwhelming” isn’t always happy.

VelvetStorm ,

Ya, I don’t think she went “home”. I think she ran away from an abusive home and then after she became a legal adult she went to a police station to let them know she was alive and ok. She likely waited so she could not be forced to go back to her parents.

DogMuffins , to worldnews in Singapore to execute first woman on drugs charge for the first time in 20 years

Just wanted to point out that it’s the first “woman” in 20 years. They execute people every year (?), or at least much more regularly than every 20 years.

Also, looking at the article she had 30g of heroin and the guy they executed yesterday had 50g. These people aren’t a scourge on society, they just have substance abuse problems. Way to punish the victims.

senorblackbean , to worldnews in Kevin Spacey cleared over all sexual assault charges

False accusers belong in jail or sued. IANAL I guess they will remain anonymous and free.

xMadwood ,

A verdict of not guilty doesn’t mean he didn’t do it, it just means it couldn’t be proven to a high enough standard. It doesn’t mean he DID do it either, but if he did and his accusers ended up being punished for false accusation, that would send a chill down the spine of any person who has been assaulted and is thinking of pressing charges on their abuser.

Derproid ,

Yep, going after accusers should be something that only happens in extreme cases, like the accused being able to prove they weren’t even in the same State at the time or in some other way being impossible for them to have committed the act.

The incidents are mostly very old and hard to prove in court. This does not mean they lied, it means there is not enough physical evidence to convict.

those super embarrassing things you did at that party were obviously a deepfake by a angry neighbor or jilted lover. Dumb things politicians say, deepfake smear campaigns, all of them. Those politicians all have IQ of a 180 or how would they have gotten into Congress and the White House etc.

Apparently if people are gullible enough you can even use video calls to commit crimes, no AI needed!

It was through a video call – where only the photograph of a man who was the same as Minister Jackson, with a cap and glasses – was seen where the imposter began to give orders to the two workers, who work at night. First, they removed 50 laptops from the different floors of the ministry. newsrnd.com/…/2023-07-22--negro-chico---the-priso…

    Communists are completely delusional people with an extremely selective understanding of history of the past 100 years. I would feel sorry for you if you were not a serious risk on humanity. Your only virtue is that you hate nazis, everything else about you is just bad.

    It sounds like you don’t like Nazis.

    Nazis might just be the only distinctive group of humans I have never met that I hate. The feeling is quite a lot stronger than against communists which is more like a practical worry. Communists are (often) fine as people I think, they just think very wrongly and want to guide societies into harmful directions. Nazis in comparison are usually very fucked as individuals, even though some turn back from it.

    Yet you support Ukraine. How does that work? How do you manage the contradiction in your mind?

    This works trivially in the way that Ukraine is not a nazi country and therefore there is no contradiction.

    @Blursty@lemmygrad.ml avatar

    This works trivially in the way that Ukraine is not a nazi country and therefore there is no contradiction.

    I believe you’re operating under a misapprehension there. The current state is based on a Nazi led coup and has long ago suspended democracy, banned and imprisoned opposition and engaged in all manner of oppression of minorities. Historically Ukraine

    This was well publicised in the media before 2014 when the Obama regime’s coup overthrew Ukraine’s sovereignty and illegally emplaced a puppet government. The Rada rejected the appointment but the US ingored that and appointed Yatsenyuk anyway.

    It’s understandable that you don’t know this because we’re all saturated in extreme levels of propaganda from a media in fear of being Assanged.

    Yes, it is unfortunate. A lot of people believe the news these days and think they’re getting the full picture. Those of us who had heard of Ukraine before the coup and invasion remember the truth about Ukraine. I’m sorry to have to break this to you but you’ve been lied to and manipulated by the media throughout this war. If you’re not already aware of Ukraine’s Nazi problem then this is going to shock you.

    I understand this is all coming as a shock to you and you’re going to be angry, just make sure that anger is directed at the right place. Don’t shoot the messenger. You should be angry at the people who lied to you about all this.

    I have a lot more information if you’d like.

    In what way is any of this pro-Russia? Is reality pro-Russian? It’s just anti-Nazi. I thought you didn’t like Nazis?

    That article looks broken, it just stops here:

    What is the Azov movement?

    The West’s Azov obsession and the inability to properly understand the overall phenomenon has even led to the spread of damaging anti-Ukraine propaganda in the media.

    Certainly, the Azov movement is a dangerous key player of the transnational extreme right.

    That’s it. Maybe you have another link?

    In what way is any of this pro-Russia? Is reality pro-Russian? It’s just anti-Nazi. I thought you didn’t like Nazis?

    No, I’m saying that what you are spreading here is pro-Russian propaganda and not actually reality. The purpose of that propaganda seems to be to muddy the waters around the actual issue: Russian aggression on a sovereign nation.

    Blursty ,
    @Blursty@lemmygrad.ml avatar

    But this is a defensive operation? How is it aggression? This is American propaganda you’re repeating. Do you think all those images are photoshopped or something?

    What do you have to say about the mainstream news coverage of Ukraine after the Obama regime’s Nazi led overthrow of Ukraine’s democracy?

    NATO, the most aggressive military alliance on the planet was threatening Russia for years before they finally invaded. Their fascist puppet state was threatening Russia with nukes. What do you think the US would do if China had Mexico as a puppet state and was threatening to install nukes on America’s border? Would America’s inevitable invasion be aggressive?

    Hey man, you don’t need to admit it to me, a complete stranger online, but be honest with yourself.

    vegai , (edited )

    But this is a defensive operation?

    Are you calling Russia’s attack a defensive operation? How can you work with that contradiction against actual facts in your mind?

    I don’t know if you’re willingly spreading Russian propaganda or just a victim of it, but if it’s the latter then you need to read something beyond your bubble.

    Blursty ,
    @Blursty@lemmygrad.ml avatar

    I think you already know that this was explained in my comment already.

    The fact that you’re unwilling to engage with the points made is saying a lot. Like I said already though, it’s fine with me if you don’t want to admit it to me, we all have an ego. But be honest with yourself. You know you’re being lied to. It takes courage to face up to the fact that the world we live in is full of propaganda and lies and we in the west are the bad guys.

    vegai ,

    Well, this is interesting in the way that I’m able to say to you exactly what you told me. And apparently both of think we’re in the right. You should also be courageous and see behind the obvious propaganda that you’re happily feeding on. You’re being lied to and the west is actually the more benevolent party in this. That is not to say that the west is always the benevolent party in every war and conflict, but in this one we definitely are.

    This is basically why I suggested earlier that this discussion has no point.

    someguy3 , to world in Stonehenge tunnel is approved by government

    Isn’t this out in farmland? Why is a tunnel needed? Are they going right under Stonehedge or something?

    James ,

    Article doesn’t directly state it, but implies the tunnel is going to be there to reduce the visual impact of adding a bigger road to the area.

    Big waste of money IMO. Makes way more financial and environmental sense to just move the highway a couple KM away(buying land as needed) and widen it there.

    Hogger85b ,

    Yes literally within 400yds of the stones building a cut and cover tunnel

    Zelda_pinwheel1971 ,

    It is in farmland, but it’s also smack next to one of the country’s major arterial routes to the southwest, and a two-lane road (one lane in each direction) at that. So the traffic buildup at peak season can lead to terrible delays. Add to that the gawpers who slow down to look at it, the coaches and tourists and it’s just always been an absolute nightmare. If you ever find you might need to be on the a303 in that area after 4pm on a Friday or Sunday in the summer, change your plans.

    A short term and way cheaper potential alternative would be putting up the green fencing you see alongside airports - make it Impossible to see the stones from the road and you’ll solve a good deal of the problems.

    This has been going on for decades and will likely go on for a few more. I dont think this is the best use of money when half the country is wondering how they’re going to pay the mortgage next month.

    intensely_human ,

    Why don’t they just build a wall to block the view? Seems a lot cheaper than a tunnel. I guess then they’d have to be honest about the design strategy.
