_errer , in Florida's new Black history curriculum says "slaves developed skills" that could be used for "personal benefit"

“Slavery was basically a jobs program” is a very normal and cool take, thank you Florida

Considering that’s what they mean when they say “make America great again”… they would pay themselves on the back with that take of yours. They’d make such nice slave-owning assholes, see

thats a funny way to say "guilty of conspiracy to benefit politically and financially by systemically violating civil rights".

those stern words of reprimand sure is some justice.

Nougat ,

Uh, so far as I'm aware, all cops do that - pull over "suspicious" vehicles on minor offenses or equipment violations, use that as a wedge to "observe the driver acting nervously" and maybe "detect the odor of marijuana." You get to collect revenue or shoo off "undesirables" at worst, both is even better, and sometimes you get free drugs.

I mean, it's not too much of a stretch to think that supervisors whose departments are getting increased revenue from dodgy traffic stops just might not look real hard at the patrol officers supplying those stops when they're "confiscating narcotics" on the street, or "checking something into evidence" at the station.

Yeah all cops do it, and isn't it a victory to get even a small group of them in shit for it? Fuck them.

If you knee the guy who wrote the curriculum in the family jewels every time you encounter him, he will develop resilience that could be used for personal benefit.

FrankTheHealer , in Netflix says people just kind of rolled over and accepted the password sharing crackdown

Honestly, I can’t see this lasting for Netflix. I think their subscriber numbers have peaked and will start to decline when people realize how crappy their catalog is.

Steeve ,

That’s exactly why they did it in the first place

That was a fascinating, albeit terrifying, read; thanks for sharing! Some of the spy stuff in Mission Impossible suddenly feels a lot more grounded...

fubo , in Who is Mila Antonova, Russian bridge player who had alleged affair with Bill Gates?

Celebrity sex-life stories are not news; they’re gossip.

BadRS , in Florida's new Black history curriculum says "slaves developed skills" that could be used for "personal benefit"

They weren’t slaves, they were just participating in an exciting involuntary farm internship program. Just think of all the skills they could list on their resumes when they applied to be slaves at other plantations. Whippings are a great opportunity for personal growth after all.

In the future, AI will have to develop the ability to know whether or not it’s being trolled.

Assassin4 , in Warcraft fans trick AI article bot with Glorbo hoax

It’s definitely everywhere now, and good to see it raised this way. Sad that relatively few will see it though.

Fuck this racist bullshit. This is a facetious justification cribbed from a revolting pro-slavery screed in 1857.

There is no benefit in slavery for the slave. None. Any skills they learned could have just as easily been learned when free.

FizzlePopBerryTwist , in How LA Failed to Stop Landlords From Turning Low-Cost Housing Into Tourist Hotels

Seize it. Turn it into condos. Give it to the homeless. Make the landlords buy it back from them if they want it. Piece by piece.

andrewta ,

So your solution is to steal another persons property and then make them buy it back? Exactly how would you get that through the courts? Let’s ignore the words landlord and land, and let’s go with vehicle and owner , think the courts would agree with stealing the vehicle?

Catoblepas ,

Did you read the article? These property owners are breaking the law.

ShakeThatYam ,
@ShakeThatYam@lemmy.world avatar

The landlords are violating the law. Why shouldn’t their property be seized in that situation?

islandofcaucasus ,

If I was selling drugs out of a low income house that I owned, the state can and would seize the property. If a property is used in the commission of a crime, the government can seize it

Darkncoldbard ,

Yes, yes it is.

FlameGrilledTanuki , in 13-year-old girl kidnapped at gunpoint in Texas rescued in Long Beach thanks to 'help me' sign

That photo of the “help me” note in the article and video, is fake as fuck.
