  • I had that sweatshirt, desk, bookshelf, PC case, and ceiling light. I didn't have the gun or I'd be freaking out.

  • wasn't a medical emergency.

    Standing outside isn't a medical emergency that would cause an ambulance to show up. If you called they'd transfer you to the police.

    Standing outside for hours becomes a medical emergency. You would watch him die rather than call the police.

    But even so, try to bring him inside, hand him a blanket,

    He's waving a shower rod at you. He's blind and confused.

    If he was capable of following directions he would have walked into the police cruiser and been driven home.

    The obscurity of the language isn't exactly relevant as I wouldn't know it was obscure if I didn't speak it

    It's relevant to your claim that you could have found someone to translate for you.

    It is not the woman's fault for contacting the appropriate authorities. Fix your police.

  • Communicate with them,

    HE DIDN'T SPEAK ENGLISH! And its not like he spoke Spanish or something somewhat common that you could find a translator. He was Rohingyan. His language is obscure even in his native country.

  • if any neighbours recognize the language would be the next step. Failing at direct communication, take a vague guess at nationality and call ethnic restaurants to see if anyone has a better idea what the language might

    How many neighbors do you know speak Rohingya? How many Rohingya restaurants are in your city?

    It's an obscure language even in his native country of Burma. The original incident that resulted in his arrest happened on Feb 15th of 2025. It was below freezing outside. While you are screwing around calling restaurants, he would have died of exposure- just like happened after he was dropped off at a Tim Horton's without notifying his family.

  • What lack of empathy? A confused blind man who didn't speak English was at her door. What was she supposed to do? Ignore him?

    Fix your police. Don't blame the woman.

  • but it’s not like calling the police is the only option for when someone

    He was confused, blind and didn't speak English. It wasn't a fire and wasn't a medical emergency so neither would respond. Social workers are not first responders- they don't show up on call. What would you have done?

    Fix your police. Don't blame the woman.

  • I imagine the woman absolutely knew about copious evidence of police brutality

    Are you kidding? The media glorifies police. It's non stop Police procedural drama on TV.

  • Safely talk to them,

    HE DIDN'T SPEAK ENGLISH!

    He's blind. He didn't speak English. He needs obviously needs help but there is no one to call. It's not a fire. It's not a medical emergency.

  • the woman calling the police

    That's the only part that's normal. A blind man who doesn't speak English shows up in front of your house? What are you supposed to do? This is exactly what the police are for!

    This is entirely the police department's fault.

  • Heat death of Universe? I'm intrigued. Bitcoin icon in screenshot? I'm Outrigued.

  • It is a statement of fact that it was accredited in the 20th century.

    It is also a statement of fact that Oxford still isn't an accredited university.

    As another example, my sister got her Bachelor's in Mechanical Engineering in the 1980's from Johns Hopkins University and her degree at the time wasn't accredited. No one cared. It was Johns Hopkins.

    Accreditation is like the Better Business Bureau for schools. It means nothing to big businesses but can help consumers identify shady businesses from legitimate companies. Google isn't BBB accredited because Google doesn't care. Oxford isn't acreddited because Oxford doesn't care.

  • Oxford and University of Paris aren't even accredited universities. They assign degrees based on royal charter, not peer review by other institutions.

  • This just in:

    Generalissimo Francisco Franco is still dead.

  • Thank you! I was about to post how I grew up thinking she was so much older than me but is only 64.

  • Yes taxes are collected from Americans.

  • It's myth. Don't trust AI.

    "A food history myth is that artificial banana flavor was specifically developed from the Gros Michel, but isoamyl acetate is a simple compound and was not based on any specific cultivar."

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gros_Michel

  • conclusion is that they're roughly the same.

    If you ignore it was 8 years vs 4.

    And we're still have the "During the nationwide uprisings against the Ba'athist Iraqi government that directly followed the end of the Gulf War in March and April, an estimated 25,000 to 100,000 Iraqis were killed, overwhelmingly civilians.[253]"

    That's direct death, not the lack of food/medicine mentioned kn the next paragraph: "A Harvard University study released in June 1991 predicted that there would be tens of thousands of additional Iraqi civilian deaths by the end of"

    So ignoring the indirect death there's still 25k direct death added to the bombing deaths.

    The total death toll for each is well over 100k.

    One is higher than the other.

    So there is no difference between Guilani and Mamdani because both have deaths from police action under their leadership? 1 or 100 is the same?
