Bastards evicted an autistic person from her home, with the approval of a judge, after the rich Fuggers to whom she paid her rent didn’t pay the rich Fuggers who owned the building.

Fwiw I’ve seen this in YouTube ai slop - if you’re not there to argue in court that you weren’t notified then eviction goes ahead. I have no idea if reality or hallucination but it is consistent with this story

A new study found that approximately 18% of americans are interested in living without a car

The option I didn’t think to try while I was car-free was taxi, but one way.

I considered taxis too expensive to take to the grocery so never did. But I also never considered the compromise of walking one way while taking the taxi home with your purchases.

Less expensive and more convenient

Crime statistics generally show immigrants charged for crimes at a same or lower rate than non-immigrants. There is no validity to the claim that immigrants cause crime.

Immigrants appear to be people, doing pretty much what people do, and maybe keeping their head down to avoid unwanted attention

Why does most American's give shit to the French when if not for them we would have lost the revolution?

It was well before that. French were saddled with the white flag, from results in wwii, whether deserved or not

Why are people disconnecting or destroying their Ring cameras?

Jump

AA5B @lemmy.world 12h ago

Not at all, that’s tons of time.

That was a nest and I don’t know about them, but for Ring they store snippets activated by motion or ringing the bell. Once you’re only saving snippets, 4-6 hours video could be weeks

Ring can also save snapshots, at regular intervals, but that’s a still photo taking much less storage.

They’re pointing out that HomeKit cameras are specifically end to end encrypted and claimed inaccessible. Apple has really been pushing online privacy as a feature

You can get a camera from anywhere and either use it locally only or implement your own encryption before saving to a cloud resource if you can get one with any expectation of privacy. But you have to do all the work and it is never end to end encrypted

contra-immigration people will be biased towards negativity á la “criminals and rapists”. The truth is somewhere in between - both things can be true at the same time,

Maybe but that specific reasoning is provably wrong, using actual crime statistics

We can still hope there’s an expiration. Any charges brought in three years should be decided by law

Certainly they should wait three years but even if they were unanimously in support, it would take years to happen

At the time I thought that was a good reason why they would be better off if they chose to pursue statehood. We do much better with emergency response to states and we invest more in states for infrastructure and stuff. At least economically it would seem a strong positive.

But then Trump happened and somehow our representatives are allowing him to restrict emergency response by personal spite and and self-enrichment, so I just don’t know anymore

Why is it a problem if he sings about that? Being a Puerto Rican is something to be proud of and it’s appropriate if he has opinions on what future they should seek.

I personally think they’d be better off as a state and would welcome them, but it starts with people there deciding what they want to do

I’m really not sure what “well integrated subculture” means or whether we should want it. Even a basic concept like “similar core values” gets messy before it gets desirable.

we all seem to intermingle, so maybe that’s well integrated.
People from different places still follow distinct practices, so are still a subculture.
we would be far poorer without the contributions from other cultures
for Mexican-Americans specifically, Mexican food has become core American in much of the us

While I understand most Americans are apparently racist idiots, I find that stat hard to believe.

In all the hoopla around the halftime show, I never once read anything other than he is Puerto Rican. Not even in the maga content the algorithm insists I want to see (to the extent I didn’t immediately block).

Maybe this is being too pedantic but it would be more believable if

“73% of Americans don’t understand that puerto ricans are us citizens”. Because we are that dumb.

Replying to that German guy somewhere in the comments - Spanish is spoken all over the us as the second most common language. Certainly anywhere in the south you’ll hear it all the time, but even up here in New England it’s very common. There’s no reason to be surprised by hearing it nor to think they are anything other than Americans who are speaking Spanish

“I always loved Trump, this is unfair”: Republican mayor can’t believe he’s facing deportation after 50 years in US

Jump

Right, that’s what these crazies always forget - register to vote is where your eligibility to vote should be verified, and there are ways to do that without suppressing votes

Interesting, apparently it’s only since 1996 that non-citizens voting became a crime, and that only applies to federal elections …. Then there’s whatever citizenship law Kansas tried to pass was ruled unconstitutional

Historically people in his situation were treated like human beings and immigration enforcement of a contributing member of society was civil, compassionate, and had due process routes to legality or at least to transitioning your life without hardship

So this guy was not committing a crime assuming he registered to vote more than 30 years ago, the state failed in their duty to check eligibility, and he might still be able to legitimately vote for himself

Those are huge infrastructure projects that take many years. They won’t get finished until he’s out of office or finally transfers to the afterlife. “sure, we’ll put your name on it … when we’re done”
