ThePowerOfGeek@lemmy.worldto THE POLICE PROBLEM@lemmy.world•ICE Arrests Mississippi Father at His Citizenship Hearing, Threatening DeportationEnglish4·1 day agoThe answer, sadly, is plain and simple racism/discrimination.
Non-Hispanic Caucasians are getting deported to their county of origin (eventually). Hispanics and non-Caucasians are being sent to foreign prisons. Shit’s fucked up.
ThePowerOfGeek@lemmy.worldto THE POLICE PROBLEM@lemmy.world•ICE Arrests Mississippi Father at His Citizenship Hearing, Threatening DeportationEnglish2·1 day agoWell that’s what they’ve done to several Canadians who they’ve grabbed (after keeping them in immigration detention centers for several weeks). They eventually sent them back to Canada.

If he was saying “learn from my mistakes!” that would be one thing. But no, he’s going off on some things (vaccines, and fluoride in water) based on deeply-flawed conspiracy theories and in spite of the fact that there is a lot of good science and evidence refuting said conspiracies.
The food colorings and pesticides points are reasonable. But he’s mixing some legit concerns with complete bullshit ones.

And the guy is getting massively fucked over on a technically. But there are far worse places the family could be forced to move to than Denmark.

And a poli-sci degree too? How the fuck do you have those two degrees from American universities without understanding a high school level concept like the branches of the US government? Were they just handing out degrees to him like candy on Halloween?

Target has turned into an even shittier version of Walmart. And it’s all their own doing. My local one has started packing aisles with useless crap that nobody wants, cutting staff so you can never find help and creeps lurk unimpeded, and they are pumping shitty country music through their speaker system.

I saw a comment online (not here on Lemmy) where someone was saying that Kiwior should be rested against Southampton, so he doesn’t get injured and tank his values for being sold this summer.
First off, I’d be very happy if he stayed. He’s really proved himself as a very solid backup/rotation centreback, and I get the feeling his could easily raise his ceiling further.
Second, who the hell is going to fill in for him this weekend?! Tomiyasu and Timber are injured. Calafiori only just came back from an injury (and was wearing a knee brace right after the Newcastle match), White only just came back from injury (and we need him at right back), and Saliba came off because of a suspected injury.
I know Rice has played at centreback in the fairly distant past. But putting him in there now would be idiotic. Playing Partey at right back and moving White to Central for that one match would be equally idiotic, if for nothing else than considering we are also light in central midfield.
Just play Kiwior.

For me any benefit from the self-driving feature is outweighed by the safety and poor build quality issues.
This meme needs to be updated now that the Washington Post has become a spineless cowardly organization.
AP: The president shat himself.
The Whitehouse: How dare you! The President would never do such a thing! And to even suggest it is treason!
The President: YEAH I SHAT MYSELF! AND IT WAS SO BEAUTIFUL AND BIG AND SMELLY!
WaPo: …Oh look over there, Bernie Sanders is acting all crazy again.
ThePowerOfGeek@lemmy.worldOPto Gunners@lemmy.world•Iwobi reveals that Emery disagreed with club over 'mad' saleEnglish4·3 days agoYeah, it really was. It was as good price considering his performances.
Just a shame that Pepe didn’t work out. I’m not sure at all that overall he was upgrade over Iwobi. Pepe had a few moments of magic, but his lows were arguably lower than Iwobi 's due to the crazy price.
Either way, I found this an interesting insight into the situation back then.

ThePowerOfGeek@lemmy.worldto Jingszo !@lemmy.world•Flat Earth on the ballot? Debunked claim pops up in US politics.English10·4 days agoI highly recommend the documentary Behind The Curve. It’s both hilarious and frustrating in equal measure, since it charts the antics of the flat earther movement (mostly on America, but these people are all over the globe, sadly).
The hilarious part is how these people keep doing experiments throughout the documentary to prove the world is flat, and their experiments keep coming back showing it’s a globe. But they just double down and assume they did something wrong.
It’s a fascinating insight into mad delusion, and has some great examples of the Dunning-Kruger effect.
ThePowerOfGeek@lemmy.worldto Economy@lemmy.world•UK ‘may need 92,000 extra public workers if fall in productivity continues to 2030’English2·5 days agoI think productivity is dropping because the cost of living is increasing sharply, wages have stagnated and employees are generally underpaid, infrastructure has long been neglected and there’s not much money for funding to fix that, and there’s a shortage of workers so people are overworked and over-stressed. And a big contributing factor to many of those factors is the aftermath of Brexit.
All these factors are heavily affecting morale and productivity. At least that’s what my friends and family in the UK tell me.
