Paris is crawling with bedbugs. They're even riding the trains, and a ferry.

Nope, you didn't read it clearly! I said you may have mistaken me for another user or it may have been your poor reading comprehension. So your poor reading comprehension has struck yet again! Hahaha
Reading comprehension and reading usernames are two different things.
Yeah didn't read your username there. But I'll admit that! I don't typically pay attention to usernames.
Listen man, I'm no supporter of the police... I have worked for years with the population that is fucked over by the criminal justice system and stuck in the revolving door. I have known good police fucked over and forced out by corruption and dirty piece of shit cops. The criminal justice system is systemically racist and in need of so much reform.
And I'm angry and pissed off about it too. But that doesn't mean that we shouldn't have calculated responses instead of calling for things that ultimately undermine our rights and would possibly allow for worse treatment of US citizens by the justice system.
And because there are so many emotions tied into this problem (and justifiably so when there are unaccountable murders and rapists with badges and impunity), people on the same side of the issue become at odds when discussing approaches to address the issue.
This is not directed at you [Edit: actually it 100% is!] (certainly other users), but there is a significant amount of people who make actual societal change harder because of the fact that they are emotionally reasoning with great rigidity. They will be at the throats of other people on the same side, any time the smallest disagreement arises.
Look at the childish responses I received by the top commenter [yourself], despite the fact that I agree with their sentiment. But because I disagreed with one aspect, they became emotional and created a wedge between people on the same side of the issue.
I'm pissed off and want retribution, not just an end. I want to feel that visceral satisfaction imagining an eye-for-an-eye justice inflicted on these sick pieces of shit. But I am not so emotional and deluded that I can't remain in the real world and focus on realistic goals and movements.
No no no!!! We can't be mean to cops that's against the law!!!!!!
Never said that. Pay more attention in school! You may have reading comprehension problems.
your entire premise was that deportation is only for immigrants.
I never said it was only for immigrants; I simply linked an excerpt stating that natural born US citizens cannot be deported. Are you mixing me up with the other commenter, or is this just your poor reading comprehension getting the best of you again?
Cry me a River. Or maybe just write another 17 paragraph essay about your life experiences 🤣
Why do so many people online think people on the other side of disagreements are upset and emotional? Just a projection? I'm calm, collected, and amused by you. I'm having a great morning enjoying my coffee!
Just remember to focus on that reading comprehension! Peace out and fuck the police!
So justification thru whataboutism?
Fuck the police, but also fuck eroding our constitutional rights...
You're just an insufferable person, aren't you?
You think I support the police in this country simply for not agreeing with something you said? How old are you? Because you're acting like an opinionated teenager with black and white thinking.
Grow up.
Under the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, the government cannot revoke the citizenship of a natural-born U.S. citizen (U.S.C).

As someone who worked as a caseworker for adults living in various residential care facilities (RCFs) and assisted living facilities (ALFs), some infestations absolutely require professional intervention....
I've watched some facilities try to tackle them on their own with every home remedy, failing and just allowing more residents to suffer. I've hotlined facilities for their failure to manage and properly treat bed bugs.
I'm not saying it can't be done, but I have yet to see home remedies or heat treating rooms actually solve an infestation. All I saw was one room get marginally better while another room or two had them grow in numbers.
I luckily managed to dodge bringing them home all those years. Some of my team members weren't so lucky, and they had a hell of a time and spent thousands of dollars to eradicate them. One team member brought them to her house twice...
I greatly feared bringing those little bastards home, and that fear was warranted.
I had a client tell me to go back to wherever I came from (I'm a pasty ass white guy) and she left this letter on my car accusing me of being a middle-eastern "Islamic Jew" and telling me to do something with "your gold", and to "bury your head in the sand."
It was one of the more amusing accusations I'd received over the years. I tried to address the letter with her and she just kept telling me "Move back to whatever country you came from." I said I was born in the US, and told her that I'm mostly of Irish decent, and she looked me dead in the eyes and said so matter of fact: "Then go back to Ireland" and stormed off.
I wasn't upset and when she went back in the facility I couldn't help but let out a pretty good laugh. Another client was on the porch laughing and he was just saying "Man you're so white!" (he was black and seemed so amused by the accusations). My hair is black, but my skin is Conan white.. My supervisor was an African American (in that she immigrated here from South Africa) and she would tease me relentlessly about being 'middle-eastern' for years.
But that wild note under my windshield was a lot better than the rocks that Client covered a facility worker's car with! My supervisor made me drop that client from my caseload fearing more false accusations.
Man, sorry for this rant out of no where.. That user and your response just made me think of it. That deportation part of his comment was just so absurd it just brought me back to that other situation.
It's the start of accountability (at to least some degree) and it should definitely be celebrated imo. I feel like the people dismissing it are the same people complaining that trump needs to be held accountable. This is a good start!
Average German Shepherds have cognitive abilities similar to a human child around the age of 3. Exceptional German Shepherd intelligence definitely exceeds that imo.
I grew up in a large family with many children and my educational background is in psychology, and I am convinced that some of my dogs have been as smart as the average 4 or 5 year old, at least..
Part of that, just like in raising children, is about imprinting and instilling inquisitiveness. Creating complicated play activities like hide and seek, hiding toys/wrapping them in a blanket, scent training, etc. I train my GSDs to observe animals rather than go after them, and they will sit on the porch outside and just watch animals like I would.
You can shape dogs to be smarter and incredibly affectionate/empathetic; it's not entirely genetics in my opinion. For the greatest impact it's best to start young, but I've been able to facilitate more inquisitiveness in rescues/fosters before too.
I trained my previous German Shepherd to understand a conditional question. It took a few years to teach, but I would ask "What do you want? Do you want [option]?" Could be go out, food, water, treat, play, love, walk, ride.
After enough conditioning, I could ask him "What do you want?" and he would literally tell me. I'd ask him and sometimes it was clear he was just bored, and would literally start to slow wag his tail and try out options. Like he'd go up to his treats and I'd say "No, you don't need any more of those.." and he'd get this little tail wag and then go try a toy or something. Was really handy if he ran out of water or something. I'd ask "What do you want?" and he'd lead me to his empty water bowl.
Incidentally thru different keyword use for toys, he learned to differentiate the names his favorite toys. Like his basketballs were always one of his favorites, and he comprehended that his ball had a specific name, but still fell into the category of "toy." So if you said "Go get a toy" he might bring his basketball, but if you said "Go get your ball" he would only grab his basketball.
He sadly died a couple years ago. He imprinted a bit on one of my current dogs (also a GSD), and I've been trying to expand on toy names with this guy. The names he's got down well so far are blue ball, basketball, jack, long jack, cactus, pineapple, donut, and the ring. Maybe a couple other toys I can't think of that he's learned. (we spoil our dogs with too many toys..) But I can tell him "Go get the cactus!" and he'll tear off and search until he finds the specific toy.
It's very enriching for him and really shows off the intelligence of dogs that people take for granted (intelligence definitely varies on breed tho..).
Crafts that our government has stated are not our technology, that are capable of outperforming our current aircraft/war machines, such as the F/A-18F Superhornets in the Nimitz Event.
That should be concerning to people if that air superiority exists in the hands of a possible adversary. There is also the aerospace safety hazard posed by UAP that affects both commercial and military aircraft, where there have been many reported cases of near-misses.
The Pentagon's Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) was mandated to produce a report on UAP, and stated in their report that:
Most of the UAP reported probably do represent physical objects given that a majority of UAP were registered across multiple sensors, to include radar, infrared, electro-optical, weapon seekers, and visual observation. … UAP clearly pose a safety of flight issue and may pose a challenge to U.S. national security. Safety concerns primarily center on aviators contending with an increasingly cluttered air domain. UAP would also represent a national security challenge if they are foreign adversary collection platforms or provide evidence a potential adversary has developed either a breakthrough or disruptive technology. [11]
Of the 510 total UAP reports studied by ODNI, 171 remained "uncharacterized and unattributed," and “some of these uncharacterized UAP appear to have demonstrated unusual flight characteristics or performance capabilities, and require further analysis." [11]
Not only has the US government confirmed that UAP exist, they have acknowledged that they pose a serious safety risk to our pilots; both commercial and domestic.
Pretty unfortunate, but definitely better than defederating. I'm glad there can still be a link to some degree. Hopefully the moderation tools on both platforms improve soon. I appreciate the transparency and willingness to take on more work in order to maintain some link. I think it is important for the integrity of the fediverse. But also important to remember you all are doing this in your spare time.
Yeah, what help you were by repeatedly condensing me and calling me a q-anon crazy! You should become a motivational speaker!
What we are referring to isn't just any unidentified phenomenon, but rather the percentile that is not explainable and represent physical crafts that are recorded on military equipment, radar readings (military, air traffic control, and weather radar), and temperature readings that put these objects well below zero.
What most people are referring to when discussing UAP are that small percentile that are truly anomalous, categorized as Category D UAP by France.
7.5.3 "Radar/Visual" Cases Worldwide "Radar/visual" cases are those in which a visual sighting is associated with an onboard radar and/or ground radar detection.
It is noted that: the first sightings in Japan and the USSR date back to 1948, 30 of the 68 countries cited in the list reported "radar/visual" cases, of the 489 cases in the report, 101 were "radar/visual" cases (21%), of the 363 cases in the Blue Book report, 76 were "radar/visual" cases (21%). in 1952, 16 out of 68 cases were "radar/visual" cases (23.52%).
In conclusion, we can clearly establish that from 1942 to 1995, at least 500 well-documented and recognized aeronautical UAP D sightings were identified throughout the world, nearly 20% of which were "radar/visual" cases.
They furnish proof of a physical reality of phenomena that exhibited paradoxical maneuvers. [39]
This was from a report published in the 90s by France's government body that has been studying UAP for decades. There's a great detailed account of the Nimitz Event in my post, where I have included direct quotes of 2 top gun pilots, a weapons system specialist, and the radar operator. It is a highly witnessed account with radar data that confirmed the physical object's existence, it's recorded on the weapons systems, and there were multiple expert eyewitnesses whose visual accounts were corroborated by recordings and radar data.
Read the Nimitz section from my post. If you can read that and simply dismiss it as not being strong evidence supporting the existence of anomalous crafts with breakthrough/disruptive technology, then I don't think you understand what the word evidence means. We're not talking about "proof." We don't have "proof" of gravity; we have evidence which supports the theory.
There is valid and compelling evidence supporting the existence of UAP D. The general public hasn't given the subject fair consideration because of the stigma attached, and the deeply internalized beliefs they don't want to challenge.
You're clearly uneducated in the topic if you think a bug on lense is responsible for these crafts when there have been many instances in which radar has verified recordings and/or eyewitness reports. That rules out bugs.
And the UAP have been measured at temperatures that rule out birds or other warm-blooded animals.
There's enough evidence that exists to make the belief that these physical objects exist rational and reasonable. Just because you haven't honestly evaluated the evidence for something doesn't mean that evidence doesn't exist.
Nah, I don't have a problem with my wording. You're just jumping to all sorts of conclusions. I'm not responsible for other people's ignorance and unwillingness to challenge their beliefs.
My argument is logically sound and I don't feel it comes off like the mad scrolls of some Q-anon nut job whatsoever. I think your hang-up and useless criticism here is just a reflection of your emotional maturity level and propensity for emotional reasoning. I presented factual information with logical reasoning. You're emotionally reasoning here.
If someone is unwilling to even open a lemmy post link and instead writes it off without any consideration, that's just a reflection of their own ignorance and unwillingness to challenge their beliefs.
I don't feel the need to tiptoe around the facts, and there's always going to be people unwilling to consider the information. I've already done a hell of a lot, compiling all of that information and that write-up. But I'll be sure to remember that you don't like the way the information makes you feel next time.
What would be better phrasing? Acknowledged? It was previously classified and denied, and they have now admitted to the existence of the programs and phenomenon.
The information is valid regardless if people want to believe it. My post is thoroughly cited.
I'm saying it may not cut it and it can still be a real battle. Those things a pain in the ass to get rid of.. One RCF I worked with literally just shut down one of their facilities because I kept getting them in trouble with DHSS and DMH for not adequately treating the bed bugs. I had a client so covered in bites I raised so much hell... They were using the heat treatment and they just couldn't get rid of them doing it themselves instead of hiring professionals, which are expensive. This sort of situation was all too common in my region.
I'm not an expert on bed bug removal. I'm just saying the fear surrounding bed bug infestations is not unfounded. And I'm just offering skepticism of simple home treatment from what I witnessed at that job. The idea that you don't need to hire professionals just doesn't align with what I witnessed or my team member's home infestations.
