Tolstoshev , in 3rd of 6 former officers in Mississippi gets 17.5 years for racist torture of 2 Black men

Mississippi still has the death penalty right? Sounds like the perfect opportunity to use it.

FunkPhenomenon , in Black student at Hawaii Mormon school says he’s fighting order to cut hair

but… the hair is going to grow back. it’s not like they’re brazilian waxing his scalp.

ieatpwns ,

Why should a school, or any establishment really, have any say over what you do to your own body?

FunkPhenomenon ,

Mormon university

ieatpwns ,

Any establishment

Zahille7 ,

I mean I agree, but at the same time if you work in food service you’re not technically supposed to let your beard grow long, and you should always have your hair (if it’s long) in a ponytail/bun or wear a hat/hairnet.

Still, I agree. I went to a private Christian high school for a couple years, and it was also the same time that I wanted to grow out my hair. I didn’t get told to cut it until like the last few weeks of school, and both me and my mom ignored it. It was my last year at that school anyway.

padge , in Why auto insurance costs are rising at the fastest rate in 47 years, over 20% increase from the prior year

I don’t drive, and because traveling is always a direct cost to me ($20 Uber each way to the mall just to watch a movie hurts), I’m not convinced when my friends tell me how much money I’m saving. But with stuff like this, maybe I am actually saving money…

n3m37h ,

Get a ebike

Sconrad122 ,

Average annual cost of car ownership is something like $12000 depending on how you calculate it. That is enough money for you to take one of those $40 round trip Ubers to the mall almost every day, and any of those style trips you can replace with transit or active transportation is even more money in your pocket, if you can swing it with your locale (don’t want to assume)

Son_of_dad , in US and UK doctors in Washington to warn of IDF’s ‘appalling atrocities’ in Gaza

I wonder how many reports they released over the years complaining about the lives Hamas was fucking up in Gaza. Likely zero

Linkerbaan OP ,
@Linkerbaan@lemmy.world avatar

Hamas running hospitals. Israel destroying them and murdering doctors. Why would they complain about Hamas?

Gotta pivot to whataboutism when israel commits Genocide lol.

Son_of_dad ,

Holy shit, I get you guys despise Israelis (at least the Jewish ones) but this sudden narrative that Hamas are good guys who were saving lives is not just false, but downright dangerous and stupid. Fuck you seriously, on behalf of all the innocent people killed by Hamas bombs aimed at schools and hospitals throughout the decades, fuck you so hard.

Linkerbaan OP ,
@Linkerbaan@lemmy.world avatar

Why did you feel the need to bring up Jews? Israel has nothing to do with Jews.

Son_of_dad ,

Lol really? Nothing?

zaph ,

If you can’t separate Israelis from jews, you’re the anti-semite. Not every Israeli is Jewish and vice verca. If you think an entire country is immune to committing crimes because of their religion, you’re part of the problem.

NoIWontPickAName ,

Nope.

I’ve never met a Jewish person that I don’t like that I know of.

Fuck those cowardly baby killing bastards.

Fuck Israel and fuck hummus

bartolomeo ,
@bartolomeo@suppo.fi avatar

That’s a weird way to say that people are against genocide and ethnic cleansing.

Nobody here supports Hamas. Most people here (outside the fringes) absolutely despise the thought of authoritarian theocratic rule. I mean, this is nowhere more true than on Lemmy. Maybe what you’re noticing is people talking about Hamas as if they are a symptom of a problem (and a very, very predictable and historically easily verifiable outcome of a specific socio-economic and political reality) and people want to tackle the problem, not just the symptom. This is what you do when you are intelligent.

Here’s a hint to get you started- the problem is Israel, specifically Zionism.

Son_of_dad ,

The guy above me literally called Hamas the good guys running hospitals peacefully

zaph ,

Oh so you’re illiterate. Our mistake.

corsicanguppy , in A nuclear plant’s closure was hailed as a green win. Then emissions went up

, rather then

Hmm. I don’t need to read the article, then.

AllNewTypeFace , in A nuclear plant’s closure was hailed as a green win. Then emissions went up
@AllNewTypeFace@leminal.space avatar

The ecological cost of a nuclear plant is mostly front-loaded; over that, it uses a few truckloads of fuel a year and produces an equivalent amount of waste (which can be reprocessed or stored). So if you already have nuclear plants which are in good order, you want to sweat them. Whether it makes sense to build new nuclear infrastructure in an age of cheap renewables and improving energy storage, however, is a different question.

rockSlayer , in A nuclear plant’s closure was hailed as a green win. Then emissions went up

Are there any plans to modernize the plant? It will probably take billions to meet modern standards, but I’d imagine that it would be cheaper than building a new plant

gregorum ,

For now, the state seems more interested in building out other green renewables like wind and solar. I haven’t seen any plans to refurbish or replace Indian Point.

New York State did just launch a new solar wind farm that will produce 130 MW of power. It’s the biggest one in the country.

soggy_kitty , in Children unintentionally shot and killed at least 157 people last year, Everytown says

This article is so bad it doesn’t state what location this statistic is for. We all know it but the journalist doesn’t even fucking clarify.

Awful

echodot ,

I wonder if NBC news is active only in one country on earth.

soggy_kitty ,

That implies people know what NBC news is

echodot ,

I’m British even I know who NBC is.

It’s for the US, the only location Everytown is active in.

gmtom , in Polygamous sect member pleads guilty in scheme to orchestrate sexual acts involving children

What does them being polygamous have to do with anything?

FenrirIII , (edited )
@FenrirIII@lemmy.world avatar

Because polygamy is generally associated with being different; and being different makes you weird and suspect according to the news now.

Edit: I’m not saying I agree with this line of logic. Simply stating an explanation.

girlfreddy OP ,
@girlfreddy@lemmy.ca avatar

Being different has ALWAYS made people weird and suspect.

Please refer to LGBTQI+ people, anyone with a physical deformity, non-white people walking down the street in a rich neighborhood, etc etc etc

FenrirIII ,
@FenrirIII@lemmy.world avatar

Exactly. It makes them an ‘other,’ which the status quo wants you to mistrust and be weary of.

Zitronensaft ,

These polygamist Mormon cults have a long history of child abuse. It is relevant that they continue to arrange child marriages and facilitate child abuse even as their previous leader is spending the rest of his life in prison for the exact same thing.

gmtom ,

But what does mentioning them being polygamst do other than try to associate the two together.

Like they don’t even say thr word Mormon in the tittle which is much more relevant.

rimu ,
@rimu@piefed.social avatar

It is inherently hierarchical to have a situation where men can have multiple wives but women cannot have multiple husbands. Can you see the increased potential for oppression and abuse there?

gmtom ,

That isn’t true for all people who practice polygamy. It’s not an inherently bad practice.

This article is just trying to associate any deviation from normal values with these disgusting acts, just like when people do the same with trans people.

paddirn , in Nvidia Wants to Replace Nurses With AI for $9 an Hour

Yes, let me pay for the privilege of using an automated lying machine that has a high probability of getting me killed due to faulty medical advice. I don’t see what could possibly go wrong with this.

thirstyhyena , in Nvidia Wants to Replace Nurses With AI for $9 an Hour

I’ll be scared if these ai nurses are able to draw blood

nondescripthandle , (edited )

AI cant even draw hands, I think we’re a long ways off from that.

TheWeirdestCunt , in Nvidia Wants to Replace Nurses With AI for $9 an Hour

wait isn’t this old news? I could’ve sworn that this stuff was being talked about back in the early 2010s because it can help point stuff out to doctors. Or are they trying to 100% nurses instead of just using these systems as an aid?

frunch ,

Different news, they’re trying to replace nurses for 1/10 of the price. It’s a short article, give it a gander!

Thorny_Insight , in Why auto insurance costs are rising at the fastest rate in 47 years, over 20% increase from the prior year

I just switched insurance companies and my vehicle insurance went from 360€/y to 320€/y and property insurance went from 570€/y to 430€/y
