  • Israeli army broadcasts intimidating sounds to lure, kill, and forcibly displace civilians in the Nuseirat camp

    Jump

  • This beggars belief. Why lure the civilians out before killing them, when you can just kill them in their camp without doing so? What could possibly be the point?

  • California won't prosecute LAPD officer who shot teenage girl in store's dressing room

    Jump

  • To be clear in case I wasn't, I was referring to semiautomatic firearms. In general, only the military will carry fully automatic weapons around as a matter of course. Similarly, I'm referring to (relatively) lower caliber than the military - I wouldn't expect a cop to casually carry around a rifle chambered in .50, although I certainly would expect a shotgun for e.g. breaching a door when necessary.

    Jump

  • Oh, that's possible. I tend to instinctively assume American rules wherever I go since they're what I know, and we virtually never deploy our military domestically, so I wouldn't have thought to try to distinguish cops from the military.

  • How does someone come to a point where police going around with an AR-15 is even legal, much less common?

    I've only seen this once in my life, when I was visiting Paris, and the cops were casually lounging around with rifles.

    In America, generally a cop will carry a pistol, and keep rifles or shotguns in their car (in the trunk).

    What?

  • 100% of all surgeries harm kids too, including circumcisions. That's part of the definition of surgery. You seem to have a fundamentally flawed understanding of several things, including the basic concept of consent. I sincerely hope you educate yourself, especially before (if ever) you have any children of your own. Consent is an important concept that no-one seems to have taught you about.

  • Semiautomatic firearm ban passes Colorado's House, heads to Senate

    Jump

  • If it passes there, it could bring Colorado in line with 10 other states — including California, New York and Illinois — that have prohibitions on semiautomatic guns. 

    Zero states ban semiautomatic firearms.

    Jump

  • No, that is not how the legal system works...

    In your mind, how does our legal system handle children's consent issues if not the legal guardians, then? How do you think it works when a child wants to go on a field trip in school, for example? How is consent determined?

  • Anti-trans Missouri A.G. can now access trans people’s medical records

    Jump

  • Why do you care /what does it matter what I'm perfectly fine with? I've been describing the way the country's legal system works to you. I'm not a lawmaker, I can't change any of these rules.

  • Anti-trans Missouri A.G. can now access trans people’s medical records

    Jump

  • What do you mean, "should"?

    Legal guardians do handle consent for their wards, which is why circumcisions are legal - there's no meaningful legal distinction here between a face tattoo and a circumcision.

    That's how things are. If you're asking me how things ought to be, that's an absurd question to ask someone on the internet.

  • Anti-trans Missouri A.G. can now access trans people’s medical records

    Jump

  • I don't understand your question. Children can't consent, so when they would need to consent to something, their guardians are asked to consent for them. That's how e.g. all medical surgeries are performed on children.

  • 3 sons and three grandchildren of top Hamas leader are killed in Israeli airstrike in Gaza

    Jump

  • Contrary to Linkerbaan's claims, this is mentioned in the article.

    From the article:

    Israel said they were Hamas operatives

    Separate bit from the article:

    The Israeli military said Mohammed and Hazem were Hamas military operatives and that Amir was a cell commander. It said they had conducted militant activity in the central Gaza Strip, without elaborating.

    What this article fails to contain is any sort of rebuttal - the closest it comes is this, which isn't a rebuttal or denial:

    Haniyeh accused Israel of acting in “the spirit of revenge and murder.”

    I can't find any sources claiming the three were civilians. So to reiterate: Israel killed 7 people, claiming 3 were military targets and 4 were civilian collateral damage. Hamas (or rather, the Hamas leader who was the dead people's patriarch) claimed the killings were an act of revenge. Both can be true, and I can't find any sources rebutting either claim.

    Germany is becoming a police state when it comes to Palestine activism

    Jump
    1. Mondoweiss is a garbate site whose "news" is not to be trusted.
    2. "Becoming"? Germany has been extremely opposed to free speech since before Israel existed. There's no "becoming" here, it's always been like this.

  • Brazil judge opens inquiry into Musk after refusal to block accounts on X

    Jump

  • Yes, it's deeply weird that a judge would have that power. It's like forcing a grocery store to ban a customer who's been throwing tomatoes at people, rather than just locking up the tomato-thrower. Why would a judge have the power to punish someone who committed no crime and is just set-dress8ng for a criminal case?

    Put another way: why is this judge ordering X to ban the accounts instead of ordering the account holders to delete their accounts?

  • Airplane passenger fined in Sydney for urinating in a cup

    Jump

  • So he was unable to go to the bathroom, I guess? Because the plane was not at the gate yet?

    Well in that case, as disgusting as this may be, you can't fine anyone for having bodily functions. I believe peeing in a cup is the right thing to do. Better than on the floor.

    Why is this such a thing on Lemmy? Why do people comment on articles they haven't read?

    From the article:

    She said the man was “obviously quite drunk” and spilled urine on a flight attendant as he left the plane, it reported.

    He was drunk and making drunk decisions.
