  • If they ask, I'll sneakily edit in the spelling correction for them, since they can't do it themselves.

  • Is there a way to view the comments on a deleted Lemmy post?

    Also, @aramis87@fedia.io, do you mind if I repost this to c/bestoflemmy?

  • Every now and again, you come across a post -- or I suppose series of posts, in this case -- that make you wish Lemmy had some equivalent to Reddit gold, because just upvoting isn't enough. This is one of those times.

  • ICE commander Greg Bovino will speak at a white nationalist conference in Portugal today

    Jump

  • Here is an article about it that I found for further information: https://www.politico.eu/article/afd-vox-mingle-with-ex-us-border-patrol-chief-white-nationalist-leader-at-remigration-summit/

    I don't love linking Politico, but it's the only English source I can find. Does anyone have a better one?

    Edit: these other sources I just found are definitely heavily editorializing, but not in ways I disagree with LOL. They're more focused on Bovino specifically vs. the broader conference, so they don't replace the info in the Politico article, but I am also sharing:

  • I really do wish there was some kind of option to hide all porn communities in /all without disabling other NSFW posts. I would be cool with something like letting communities mark themselves as porn communities and having an option to hide those communities without playing whack-a-mole with blocking porn communities, especially since blocking a community always seems to mess up my /all feed scrolling.

    Also while I'm on my soapbox, would love to be able to mark posts as spoilers vs. NSFW, which I don't believe can be done? I've seen photos marked as NSFW because they contain spoilers for recent movies and there's not a better option right now.

  • After Traffic Stop for Phone in Right Hand, She Called Out the Problem

  • Why are so many people incapable of admitting that they made a mistake and handling it gracefully? Is this something we can add to the school curriculum as a skill or something?

    The way our police system is structured is horrendously broken and encourages this kind of things in its officers, which can only be addressed with a complete overhaul of our approach to public safety, but even with that aside, can we please as a population put more emphasis on being able to handle making mistakes without doubling down?

  • What's the biggest misconception you think many people have?

    Jump

  • That because a problem is real, any proposed solution to it is a good idea, and anyone arguing against a proposed solution doesn't want to solve the problem.

    Yes, grease fires are bad. No, you should not use water to put it out. No, that does not mean I am pro-grease-fire??

  • Ah, shoot, the rules forbid me from posting the full text of articles in the comments, so I'm not sure what to do if this link doesn't work. (I... think I'm in the clear posting the link at all, since it's a comment and not a post? But mods let me know if I've misunderstood and I will remove the paywall-free link.)

    Also what, and I cannot stress this enough, the fuck.

    Marriage is currently legal in Missouri at age of 16 with at least one parent’s consent. That’s a relatively recent development: Missouri lawmakers only banned marrying children who were 14 years old or younger in 2018.

    What the fuck.

    The United States does not have a federal law setting the age of marriage. The marriage age is set by states, and only 12 of them have banned child marriage. (Those states: Connecticut, Delaware, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia, and Washington.)

    What the fuck.

    A 2021 study by the advocacy group Unchained at Last found that 300,000 minors were married between 2000 and 2018 in the United States. According to the group, 60,000 of those marriages involved an age difference that would have otherwise been considered a sex crime.

    ... So 20% of them are literally statutory rape but still were legal somehow???

    The vast majority of these minors were 16 or 17 years old, and most were girls wed to adult men who were four years older than they were, on average. There were five documented instances of children as young as 10 married in the U.S. in the period studied.

    I think I am going to be sick.

    On the New Hampshire House floor last week, state Rep. Jess Edwards (R) argued against raising the marriage age from 16 to 18, by asking whether a law preventing people “of ripe, fertile age”

    Absolute creepiest way to say it, too.

    Well, you ever read something expecting it to be bad, and then it's even worse? This is that. Jesus Christ.

  • Texas School Police Pepper-Sprayed, Tackled and Tasered Students

    Jump

  • So normal police, just stationed at a school. Weird to call it school police if they are normal police officers.

    It's mostly to distinguish the officers assigned there as their daily job vs. a police officer being called in by dialing emergency services or the local police department directly.

  • The police officers stationed in schools as their dedicated post! This is a cool and normal thing and not at all a horrifying extension of the school to prison pipeline masquerading under the idea of protecting schoolchildren from gun violence because the USA can't muster the political willpower to rein in guns nor to address the deep sociopolitical issues fucking us up.
