The way Western media works, they could have expressed profound regret and you never would have heard about it. That is not your fault.

You have to understand the realities of America…
When assholes like the Proud Boys or Patriot Prayer can invade your town at a whim…
And it turns out THEY’RE WORKING WITH THE COPS…
It’s contingent on every responsible adult to be able to protect themselves.
“But nobody saw this coming.”
Except everyone saying “Vote Harris, Trump is a dumpster fire, vote Harris… WTF IS WRONG WITH YOU? VOTE HARRIS! You WANT Trump in office? Vote Harris!”
Anything running 480i/p is retro. If it’s higher than that, it’s modern.
Slurs are different and similarly not allowed on lemmy.
Yeah, polio’s a bitch… guess we’ll see that back soon!

Internal US news is not World.
Yes, Guantánamo Bay is technically in Cuba, but it’s effectively “the US”.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guantánamo_Bay
“The United States exercises jurisdiction and control over this territory as the home of the Guantanamo Bay Naval Base, while recognizing that Cuba retains ultimate sovereignty.[2][3]”

Not yet, but an 82 year old falling down stairs is kind of on a fast track.

“In 2020, 42,114 deaths in the US were related to falls, with 86% occurring among adults aged 65 years or older.1 Falls are the leading cause of injury and among the leading causes of death among older adults in the US.2,3”
In case anyone wonders what the rules on a replacement are:

“The governor must choose a nominee from a list of three names the outgoing senator’s party submits. Beshear would have to choose a Republican, should either Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell or Sen. Rand Paul’s seats become vacant.”
De nada. What’s hilarious to me now is the resident troll running afoul of the admins and blaming me for deleting all their bullshit while I was asleep. LOL.
Admins are not screwing around and if the account was created in the past few minutes from an open sign up source like lemmy.cafe, it is under a freaking microscope.
Much better! No worries! We’re all good!
Jesus… D.R.C. never seems to get any better…
Great book on the area, a natural history book reviewer went there to examine some local legends, the result is a harrowing tale and that was published almost 30 years ago now:

For more lighthearted stuff by the same author, I suggest “Into the Heart of Borneo” and “In Trouble Again” about the Amazon.
A resolution that had no binding action on Israel or Hamas is not a cease fire. It’s a performative action of “Israel bad”, which is why the US vetoed it.
That’s a UN resolution, not an actual cease fire. The cease fire would require agreement from the warring parties involved.
And god, our history of vetoing UN resolutions against Israel is as long as my arm.
My favorite goes back to George W. Bush and his excuse to invade Iraq, if you recall he kept going on and on about how Iraq was in violation of something like 17 or 18 resolutions… Meanwhile Israel was breaking over 80 of them and it would have been more than 100 except for the US veto.
This is the most accurate assessment of the whole situation I’ve seen.
You are correct, I should have specified lemmy.world, but we aren’t the only instance that removes slurs.
