andrewta , in WATCH: Man in giant inflatable Trump costume taunts former president outside DC courthouse

That story just got better and better

“Prettyman federal court house” … I know it’s just a name but it works so well in this case.

MicroWave OP , in Mortgage rates climb toward 7% after America's credit rating was downgraded
@MicroWave@lemmy.world avatar

“The combination of upbeat economic data and the U.S. government credit rating downgrade caused mortgage rates to rise this week,” said Sam Khater, Freddie Mac’s chief economist. “Despite higher rates and lower purchase demand, home prices have increased due to very low unsold inventory.”

Gbagginsthe3rd OP , in Noam Chomsky Wealth Inequality Documentary

I see this has caused controversy! Interesting

I saw him pop up recently in another thread. I don’t ever think someone holds all the answers to the world problems or someone or something is wholly responsible (maybe besides greed) but I think it’s important to be exposed to other narratives and views to make a better sense of the world.

I don’t claim that his narrative is correct but it’s interesting to think about the concepts he presents

I think Chomsky says a lot of wise things, but some people deify him and act like his words are holy and righteous and it’s not a good look.

Gradually_Adjusting , in Nose-picking health workers more likely to get Covid, study shows
@Gradually_Adjusting@lemmy.world avatar

Obvious third variable might be conscientiousness. People low on that personality trait may be generally more likely to pick their noses and catch COVID.

MicroWave OP , in Nose-picking health workers more likely to get Covid, study shows
@MicroWave@lemmy.world avatar

The researchers said as the nose was a main route for coronavirus to get into the body, nose-picking may make infection easier by directly introducing virus particles on the hands into the nose.

Ktheone , in Fulton County sheriff says ‘we’ll have a mugshot’ if former Pres. Trump is indicted locally

That mugshot is gonna become one of the most memed images of all time.

itsJoelle ,

I’m just curious of what the “template” for it will be.

“Finally some good fucking food” will be in my group chats

funkless ,

it’ll become its own capsule of meaning. Like how a shrug can mean anything in context. Just sending a Donny Mug whenever something excretious happens

Tried the article’s link on different apps without any issues. Still it sure what you’re trying to say.

Issue with my app, then, looks fine online

TenderfootGungi ,

Link works ok for me on Lemmy.

the_itsb , in Fulton County sheriff says ‘we’ll have a mugshot’ if former Pres. Trump is indicted locally

Idk what their county budget looks like, but if they would set up a shop where interested parties could easily buy prints of that mug shot, I would cheerfully bet my favorite nipple that they will be running a surplus for a very long time.

Galtiel ,

I can’t take that bet until I know which nipple is your favorite

ZoopZeZoop ,

The one with the lucky mole on it. It’s lucky because it was non-cancerous.

elbarto777 ,

Thus far…

lolcatnip ,

I’m not so sure. I personally wouldn’t want a picture of Trump even if it’s a mugshot.

afraid_of_zombies ,

There might be another toilet paper shortage. Just sayin

doggle ,

Fulton’s a fairly major county, but every little big counts!

SeaJ ,

They just have to make sure they create an NFT of it so we know they own it. /s

afraid_of_zombies ,

How much for a signed copy by the arresting officer?

the_itsb ,

I think they’d pull in even more if the DA were signing them, but I don’t see any reason to not offer a variety of signature options. They might even sell some to Republicans if they do a Trump-signed version.

ShellMonkey , in A woman escaped a makeshift cinder block 'dungeon' in Oregon, police say. The FBI believes there are more victims in other states | CNN
@ShellMonkey@lemmy.socdojo.com avatar

Not to make light of the situation but the person needs some masonary classes. Someone with enough determination could probabbly take out a column or two with their shoulder the way they’re stacked.

QuincyPeck ,

It’s one thing to be a horrible kidnapper and torturer, but a whole other level not to have any pride in your work.

SheeEttin ,

Seriously. It’s incredibly lucky for this woman that this guy can’t build for shit. Even if the blocks were built properly, you could probably just kick out that door.

Edit: or even just push that “ceiling” aside and climb over

nednobbins ,

Yeah. Even 6 year olds know their Lego houses will fall apart if they don’t interleave the bricks.

ZzyzxRoad , in Woman's escape from cinder block cell likely spared others from similar nightmare, FBI says

Another example of why sex work should be legal, so that people who do it can have more protection from freaks like this guy.

TheKarion , in Recreational weed is now legal in Minnesota: What to know

What a shame, can’t believe a drug is now legal

drcobaltjedi ,

Yeah remember when alcohol was legal? Wait. It is.

alloloto ,

And so much more dangerous than weed.

TheKarion ,

Yea that’s another problem it should be illegal. Things that impair your judgement in an objectively negative and harmful way to you and others should be illegal

tron ,

I’m so glad idiots like you aren’t in charge of policy in Minnesota.

TheKarion ,

Democracy is the ability to vote for the person you dislike the most

aranym ,

Since weed is significantly less dangerous than tabacco or alcohol, I assume you’re for a complete ban on both of them as well?

sweeny ,

Is it just me or does Lemmy have a particularly hard time detecting sarcasm?

aranym , (edited )

I’ve heard that statement nearly verbatim from people who were entirely serious - and judging from my upvote count (and the original comment downvotes), several others thought you were serious as well.

Edit - Wait, I thought you were the creator of the original comment - you aren’t. There’s still a very good chance this isn’t sarcasm.

TheKarion ,

I’m fully serious. The reddit weed smoker losers moved over. Fucking hate drug addicts

sweeny ,

Lmao

BonesOfTheMoon , in FBI finds 200 sex trafficking victims, 59 missing children in two-week sweep

How are 59 children missing? I can’t wrap my head around that.

bluGill ,

There are a lot more than 59 missing children at any time. There are hundreds of millions of people in the US, a few will go missing all the time.

most missing children are with their other parent who is hiding from court ordered custody, and thus don't even know they are missing. However kidnapping (often for sex) does happen once in a while, it takes time for the FBI to track these down and in the mean time those doing it have time to kidnap a 58 more kids.

there is nothing unique about the US here. all countries have similar problems, as criminals are everywhere and it takes time for law enforcement to track down any particular criminal.

Spiracle , (edited )
@Spiracle@kbin.social avatar

Children are easy to carry and often easily accessible. Sadly, it is often as simple as driving close to one in a car, then pulling them inside.

Actually, that can work for adults as well, according to some vids and news stories I’ve seen. Many crimes are incredibly easy. Just like the death toll and environmental/monetary/health cost of cars, it’s just not mainstream knowledge.


And that doesn’t include all the other causes. Runaways are missing, and often intentionally trying to stay missing. Parents taking children and leaving the country without telling anyone can make them all be "missing". Bureaucratic issues can mean that a simple move leaves children "missing" in one official register or another. Some people or families are simply not "in the system", living off-the-grid.

BonesOfTheMoon ,

I guess a lot of them are foster teens who are in group homes or such and aren’t that easy to track. Ugh.

MostlyBirds ,
@MostlyBirds@lemmy.world avatar

There are over 300 million people in the US. It would be unthinkable for there to only be 59 missing children at any given time.

BonesOfTheMoon ,

I know but it just seems like a lot when you read it. Those poor kids.

BonesOfTheMoon ,

arin ,

They could be teens

afraid_of_zombies ,

59 is .0000174% of the US population according to Wolframa Alpha.

Does that help visualize it?

BonesOfTheMoon ,

no, it just seems to me that the US news would be bursting with stories of missing children.

Diplomjodler ,

And how many of those were sexually exploited and how many just ran away? This whole thing sounds like than fishy.

funkless ,

460,000 children go missing each year in the USA.
