politics @lemmy.world•ICE agents leave Ace of Spades ‘death cards’ on detained immigrants’ cars
0·2 months agoOne of those fascists is going to take a bullet to the head. Whether or not that’s a good idea is up for debate, but in any case they certainly deserve it.

Map Enthusiasts@sopuli.xyz•Which Countries Are In The World Health Organization
0·2 months agoThen why isn’t it listed in the official list of participating countries?
Just as funny as when Scrubs did it.

Map Enthusiasts@sopuli.xyz•Which Countries Are In The World Health Organization
0·2 months agoIf anyone is offended, it’s the person who took this conversation as “rude.”
Point is, unincorporated territory, country, state, autonomous territory, etc are just legal definitions of regions. And the purpose of the map is to show participating regions.
Depending too much on the literal definition of country misses the point of the map (unless the point is the shit on the US, something I would fully agree we are deserving of.) I would certainly understand a modified green/red stripe color to indicate the California participates but is part of a country that doesn’t. That feels honest and in the spirit of the map, dismissing California wholly doesn’t.

Puerto Rico?

0·2 months agoPR is a great example. Why is it shaded green on this map?
While we’re on the subject of literal readings of this map; Argentina is in WHO, and is shaded a color not on the legend. Do you have a problem with this part?

0·2 months agoPuerto Rico isn’t a country, yet it is green on this map.
Greenland isn’t a country, yet it is shaded a color.
The purpose of a map is to convey geographic information. What you seem to be looking for is a dictionary.

0·2 months agoIt’s bigger than many countries and more populous than many countries. And it’s in WHO.
Unnecessarily pedantic to exclude it.

news@lemmings.world•Hilton worker fired after warning of ICE activity at the hotel where she workedEnglish
0·2 months agoNo argument from me in colloquially calling ICE Nazis.
The person to whom I was was replying called them “literal Nazis.”

news@lemmings.world•Hilton worker fired after warning of ICE activity at the hotel where she workedEnglish
0·2 months agoAgreed that it’s 100% morally acceptable. I’ll go one step further and say there is the moral imperative to do so.
But although I would agree we’re seeing gestapo like tactics here, they are not literal nazis. And that’s not to downplay their reprehensible behavior, only to say “literal” and “nazi” have meanings, and these aren’t quite it.

news@lemmings.world•Hilton worker fired after warning of ICE activity at the hotel where she workedEnglish
0·2 months agoYou’ve hired her and letting her live with you?
No? so “full support” isn’t literal and is whatever you say it is?
I never said I like the decision of the hotel owner, only that this isn’t the one to be upset over.
You seem to think companies are going to do the right thing. I’m just happy when the don’t do the overtly wrong thing.

news@lemmings.world•Hilton worker fired after warning of ICE activity at the hotel where she workedEnglish
0·2 months agoI’m in full support of this employee and their actions. However, I have a hard time getting too upset at the owner of this Hilton franchise because the right thing is probably firing the employee no matter whose identity they leaked.
Edit: I get it, unpopular opinion that goes against the hivemind. But if you take out the fact that this was ICE related, the action itself is fireable. I’ll reserve my anger for companies that explicitly help ICE.
And again, kudos to the employee here. Brave act that took guts.
Bears like gay oral sex is definitely something AI generated.

Rant@lemmy.sdf.org•I have no respect for people whose only motivation for refraining from drunk driving is because of the lawEnglish
0·3 months agoSo you have the same amount of respect for people who don’t refrain from drinking and driving as you do for those who refrain solely because of the law?


So will Linux. Why do I need Google?
