  • I believe that's a close-up of the inside of a pitcher plant. Which is a plant that sits there all day wafting out a sweet smell of food, waiting around for insects to fall into its fluid filled "belly" where they thrash around fruitlessly until they finally die and are dissolved, thereby nourishing the plant they were originally there to prey upon.

    Fitting analogy, no?

  • Biden got several cease fires out of Israel. Until Kamala lost the election they were willing to stop the violence and at least fake a willingness to negotiate. That all stopped cold after election day though. Now they have nothing holding them back.

    You've killed everyone in Gaza thanks to your hubris.

  • I would really love to know where journalism's balls disappeared to. Why the fuck aren't there headlines everywhere that state in big bold letters

    #WHAT IS THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION AND ELON MUSK'S DOGE HIDING?!?!?

    Instead we get small stories like this that make in onto Lemmy and maybe reddit. Some will share it on Facebook but it'll be ignored as just another case against Trump "probably by those who unreasonably hate Trump" all the people in your feed will think and ignore the article.

  • Someone else posted total inmate numbers from 2022 and it was less that 4,000. Out of 5.5 million people, that's doing really well compared to the U.S.

    Here's a small comparison. Oklahoma has a population less than 5 million. Yet their prison inmate population is over 20 thousand. And if you look at all the states, it's a similar story. Especially in "red states".

  • Those low numbers are likely because the wages in Norway are actually decent living wages.

    Go figure, when people are well paid and living decent lives they are less prone to commit crimes.

    I also find it funny that one of the "downsides" is that CEO's and other higher corporate positions can't earn as much as other places. There's and interesting correlation in there I think.

  • Yeah CSI made you think that there was this dedicated team of people trying to get to the bottom of every case being very diligent and careful with every piece of evidence and the chain of custody, instead of a couple of dipshits who forget to label every baggie and throw everything to a box and toss it in the back room someplace.

  • I also feel like learning what not to do when interacting with police is helpful for me if I ever get pulled over, etc.

    Step 1: don't be black or brown

    Step 2: be rich

    Step 3: if you are incapable of steps 1 and 2, be as stupidly polite as possible even if they get rough and hope they don't shut off their body cams as they beat you half to death for "resisting arrest"
