Zachariah , in Rep. Neil Friske released from jail amid investigation into sexual assault, gun charges
@Zachariah@lemmy.world avatar

Sounds like someone ignored the obvious sign that this guy needed to be patted down to check him for weapons.

homesweethomeMrL OP ,

Oh he wasn’t in da club, he was running around outside. One imagines in his tighty-whitey underwear, shitfaced and screaming, firing a gun wildly in anger at a woman who is not his lawfully wedded wife. Allegedly.

frisk • The act of frisking, of searching for something by feeling someone’s body.

The customs officer gave me a frisk after I went through the metal detector.

If they’d found anything before his shenanigans, this story about Mr. Friske could have been posted here: feddit.uk/c/nominativedeterminism

homesweethomeMrL OP ,

Ahhh i see what you did there. Now.

TechNerdWizard42 , in A fourth victim has died a day after a shooting at an Arkansas grocery store, police say

Oh no… Anyways.

Thoughts and Prayers.

RememberTheApollo_ , in Trump’s sledgehammer message to Philadelphia is light on facts, heavy on fear

It’s like shitty hypnosis, except they eat it up without the excuse of being hypnotized.

MelodiousFunk ,

How Cultists Use Language to Control

Highly recommended watch.

LimeZest , in 'Sale-leasebacks' offer to help homeowners needing cash. Some lose thousands

This was pretty much exactly how it sounds. People in financial trouble sell their house to the lender with an agreement to rent it from the lender and keep living there, then the lender jacks up the rent and they get evicted and the house is sold. After fees and everything else they may not get to keep much of the equity from the house sale and potentially could lose all equity and end up owing the lender. As tenants they don’t have all the legal protections a homeowner in foreclosure would have. The lender claims all its customers know what they are getting into.

RememberTheApollo_ , in Trump says he wants foreign nationals who graduate from US colleges to ‘automatically’ receive green cards

The part he hasn’t said yet is that he wants Mexico to pay for that, too. So there’s his out.

die444die , in Appeals court maintains PrEP coverage under Obamacare in win for HIV prevention

The person who filed this suit is the type of person that we should all agree is deserving of being bludgeoned to death and thrown in a dumpster.

I may be being too kind to him though.

People like this make me wish there actually was a Hell, because he’d most assuredly be there and tortured for eternity if there was.

venusaur , in US tells Israel it will support Israel in a conflict with Hezbollah
@venusaur@lemmy.world avatar

Politicians say a lot of things

AshMan85 ,

Yeah but when it comes to war mongering they usually follow through.

blazera , in Trump says he wants foreign nationals who graduate from US colleges to ‘automatically’ receive green cards
@blazera@lemmy.world avatar

Pfft, cant wait for democrats to pivot harder into anti-immigrant policy in response.

riskable , in The United States will need 7 million migrants to cover old age support programs for baby boomers
@riskable@programming.dev avatar

Alternative: We need more robotics engineers to build robots that can do the job.

Sgt_choke_n_stroke ,

Go nuts kiddo

Azzu , in ‘Florida loves prison labor’: why most incarcerated people still work for free in the Sunshine state

What would theoretically happen if they refused?

tal , in Trump Says Foreigners Who Graduate From US Colleges Should Get Green Cards

I don’t have an issue with the broad principle of lowering the bar to people with a student visa, but making it automatic is likely going to raise the bar on student visas.

skuzz , in Grocery store prices are changing faster than ever before — literally. This month, Walmart became the latest retailer to announce it’s replacing the price stickers in its aisles with electronic shelf.

I’m sure there’ll be:

  • a lawsuit
  • local news coverage
  • a statement from some high up congressperson
  • a statement from the president "come on!"
  • a lengthy and expensive congressional investigation with the heads of the big three food stores where they’ll ask them if they know how facebook works
  • a convoluted bill passed that is based on the rolling average price creep over x consecutive hours that’s so confusing everyone just gives up and pays the surge price or starves as America tries as hard as possible to third-world our ass until Putin’s Russia (or North Korea or whatever) looks like the Promised Land by comparison (Reverse Babylon AD?)
NocturnalMorning , in U.S. puts Japan back on currency manipulator watch list after 1 year

Doesn’t the U.S. do the same thing with our own currency? We just take the long route by invading other countries and making sure everything is backed by the petrol dollar.

Today , in Americans take the least vacations globally. We also get the least amount of time off.

I feel very lucky. I work in education so i get nice breaks. Pay is less than in the regular world, but I’m old and at this point I’d rather have the time than the $. My husband gets 5 weeks but usually only takes 3 so we can cash out one or two weeks in December.

FlyingSquid , in Miami New Times runs slur-filled pro-Trump political ad on back cover
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

The fun part of this though is that the ad looks like the sort of thing crazies used to tape to telephone poles before the advent of the Internet era. It’s like the Timecube of political newspaper ads.

So it will not help Trump in the slightest. It was a huge waste of money.
