She’s a willing useful idiot.
Zombiepirate@lemmy.worldto Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•US Senator tells his constituents 'Get a life' when asked about calls and emails his office has been gettingEnglish52·1 month agoThe Senate doesn’t have gerrymandering like the house does. There’s definitely still bullshit based on the way representatives are appointed per State, but they can’t redraw districts to pick their voters like they can for the House.
Zombiepirate@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Meta appoints anti-LGBTQ+ conspiracy theorist Robby Starbuck as AI bias advisorEnglish28·1 month agoReactionaries decry “identity politics,” because it’s literally all they have; they’re the ones pushing to make their list of prescribed identities the only socially acceptable ones.
They loathe women who jump their station and get a “man’s job.” They’re disgusted by trans people who won’t accept their assignment to either pump out babies for the oligarchy or mainain white Christian supremacy. They’re enraged by immigrants who “don’t belong.”
The identity that they care about most though is “conservative.” You can get away with anything so long as you fly that particular freak flag and pretend to apologize. They’re narrow-minded bigots who should be ostracized in any civilized society.

Zombiepirate@lemmy.worldto Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•Booking.com ignored me after my bedbug nightmareEnglish30·1 month agoHappened to me a few months ago, I rented a room and inspected the mattress as I always do.
Tons of bedbug stains on the corners. I asked for a refund and they refused, so I requested a charge back with the pics I took.

Zombiepirate@lemmy.worldto United States | News & Politics@lemmy.ml•Meet the woman spending her free time chasing ICE vehiclesEnglish7·1 month agoVargas, however, wasn’t quite finished: She sat and waited for nearly 15 minutes, alerting passing vehicles that ICE was sitting in the middle of the tracks.
“I know he was upset about that,” she said.
This lady’s a certified badass.
The second thing Vargas realized was, “The more time I spend with them, the less time they spend with my community. That’s how I see it.”

It’s impossible to know.
Zombiepirate@lemmy.worldto Not The Onion@lemmy.world•Kash Patel Is Polygraphing FBI Staff to Find Out if They’re Being Mean About HimEnglish9·2 months agoReally puts the “anal” in analysis, if true.
Zombiepirate@lemmy.worldto Not The Onion@lemmy.world•Kash Patel Is Polygraphing FBI Staff to Find Out if They’re Being Mean About HimEnglish93·2 months agoCops and pseudoscience go together like chocolate and peanut butter.
For more examples, see “bite mark analysis,” “911 call analysis,” “blood spatter analysis,” roadside drug testing with known false-positives, and even fingerprints (once the gold standard) have up to a 20% error rate.
And that’s not even getting into how their methodology is exactly backwards: they have a claim that they set out to prove, but do no work to disprove what they already believe.

Zombiepirate@lemmy.worldto Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•US Congressmen praying inside the House of RepresentativesEnglish2411·3 months agoAnd when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.

Zombiepirate@lemmy.worldto Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•98 degrees upstairs, ac stopped working at 8am.English14·3 months agoWhen I used to fix cars for a dealership we would sometimes have the service advisor ask us to do work for free. “Come on, it’ll just take you ten minutes!”
I’d tell them that they can do it themselves if it only takes ten minutes. “But I don’t know how to do that!”
You’re not just paying for the part, you’re paying for the knowledge, time, and tools of the technician.
Zombiepirate@lemmy.worldto United States | News & Politics@lemmy.ml•Fuel firms can challenge California’s emission limits, supreme court rulesEnglish9·3 months agoWait, I thought conservatives were all about “State’s rights?” I’m starting to think that’s only a threadbare excuse to do the most racist shit imaginable, because that seems to be the only time that argument is applied.
Zombiepirate@lemmy.worldto United States | News & Politics@lemmy.ml•New York City comptroller Brad Lander arrested at immigration court hearingEnglish121·3 months agoAdditional footage of the arrest shows Lander telling immigration officials: “I’m not obstructing. I’m standing right here in the hallway. I asked to see the judicial warrant.
“You don‘t have the authority to arrest US citizens asking for a judicial warrant,” Lander can be heard saying.
The officials, two of whom were wearing masks, then pinned Lander to a wall and put him in handcuffs. It remains unclear why he was arrested.
I think it’s very clear why he was arrested: ICE agents are fascist trash.
