I put on a bird video for my cat, she was very interested. One of the birds suddenly flew off, and she ran behind the tv in search of it. We laughed right in our cat’s face, at her expense.

halyk.the.red@lemmy.mlto News@lemmy.world•Republican town hall drowned out by "tax the rich" chants7·4 months agoIt’s as if the more a population is restricted, the harder it will resist. It’s taking a while for the american people to be roused, but I have hope that it gathers speed and power, not unlike a boulder hurdling down a hill towards a village.
halyk.the.red@lemmy.mlto News@lemmy.world•Tesla secures permit needed for applying to operate an autonomous ride-hailing30·4 months agoCall for an uber, driverless tesla pulls up. Call a tow truck, don’t cancel the order. “Yeah hi, thanks for showing up. Yeah I dunno, it just pulled up here and it’s blocking my driveway.”
halyk.the.red@lemmy.mlto politics @lemmy.world•Bill presented that would make disliking Trump grounds for an involuntary mental health hold1·4 months agoFor a while, american police were diagnosing people with cases of “excited delirium”. They would say the person was unresponsive to commands, and due to their mental state, were a danger to themselves and others.
The officer feared for their life. That’s why the officer had to be involved in a shooting, resulting in injuries, and the person would later die in an ambulance or hospital.
Sometimes they used it as an excuse to kneel on people’s necks. In some cases, the people they were detaining begged for their lives, only to expire later due to injuries sustained from the arrest.

Then another point of data can be added to the ever-running observation of where actions actually have consequences in the us government.
halyk.the.red@lemmy.mlto World News@lemmy.world•'Enough is enough': Greenland flatly rejects Trump's calls for annexationEnglish7·4 months agoWell I recall reading about what happened the last time vikings tried to land on American shores, and I say bring em on!
I just need to check my notes real quick.
Okay so it turns out we may have genocided the people who defended their homeland against some of the most feared warfighters of that time, so perhaps trump just drops this whole thing before unnecessary blood is shed.
Seriously, anyone who gets so much as a papercut as a direct result of one of trump’s orders is regretful and unfortunate.

The comments in this thread remind me of something, I forget the original medium, but it was about fairy tales.
Paraphrasing, it spoke about how people passed along fairy tales, not because of our belief in dragons existing, but to reassure us that dragons can be defeated.
Also I recommend everyone watch, or rewatch, V for Vendetta. Many may suggest reading it, which is absolutely as valid. However, as a fan of movies, Hugo Weaving’s performance is in a league of it’s own.
halyk.the.red@lemmy.mlto Technology@lemmy.world•Why am I getting gore on my racism app?English1·4 months agoWe are speaking of the same tree, friend, though some roots go deeper than others. I think the path down the road you mentioned diverges here. I believe there was ill intent behind this, though I cannot offer any proof.
halyk.the.red@lemmy.mlto Technology@lemmy.world•Why am I getting gore on my racism app?English6·4 months agoNo idea who that is, but an important lesson I learned from Uvalde is the is the unintended consequences of the capitalistic virtue of rugged individualism. Even professional tough guys, when thinking death is on the line, will hesitate.
As a minority in america, when some iteration of the proud boys comes knocking, demanding to see a birth certificate, it is imperative that you get them thinking that there’s a chance that they don’t walk away. Get them thinking, “What about me?” and your chances of survival should increase.
I understand that many will be reticent to threaten another with violence and death, which is perfectly reasonable. However, unfortunately, that is not the reality in which we live. Edit: Formatting, spelling
halyk.the.red@lemmy.mlto Technology@lemmy.world•Why am I getting gore on my racism app?English38·4 months agoPerhaps to desensitize the common person to the impending brutal violence that will be sweeping the united states.
On a related note, if you are a member of a marginalized group in the united states, you are behind the curve if you do not own, and are not basically proficient with, some form of self defense. This includes some kind of martial art, but a visible deterent is prefered.
halyk.the.red@lemmy.mlto News@lemmy.world•"A woman is like a child": MAGA quickly turns its sights on stripping Republican women of power0·4 months agoI read years ago that white republican women will put up with being treated as lesser in their circles in order to treat others as lesser. So they’re fine with being spoken down to and shuffled aside so they can feel free to yell at minorities.
After WW2, there were lots of unempoyed service members. They were given employment opportunities though government beautification projects. Planting trees along roads and the like.
