politics @lemmy.world•ICE claim that a man shattered his skull running into wall triggers tension at a Minnesota hospital
95·6 days agoRace is probably a component, but a big one is video of the incident getting to the public. Watching an unambiguous violation instead of reading an account is far more powerful, and removes all doubt of witness reliability.

3·17 days agoAgreed. That’s why dog-whistles work so well; you can retreat to the reasonable point while also getting the unreasonable one across to those you’re really talking to.

7·17 days agoLet me put my hazmat suit on and try to steel man Kirk’s comment. Can’t stress enough that this is not an endorsement of the guy.
Deification is a slow gradual process that happens in the culture so of course it can’t be pinpointed. The way people quote just the “I have a dream” stuff but not the criticisms of capitalism or other more “extreme” views of MLK sort of point to a legendary development where people don’t actually celebrate the real man. This is used by the ruling class (they likely helped it happen too) to prevent any meaningful change (especially considering what they did to MLK) and just apply a veneer of progress while still oppressing and sowing division in the population.

RetroGaming@lemmy.world•Are there any sub-$200 handhelds out there that smoothly run Game Cube games?English
3·2 months agoIt’s probably only the newer flagship phones that can do it, but that’s quite a few people.
I personally only emulate up to PSX and have no issues with my older phone.

World News@lemmy.world•Australian PM proposes tougher national gun laws after mass shooting in SydneyEnglish
101·2 months agoI’ve always seen Australia as a success story for gun control so am a bit skeptical that it needs changing. There’s a decent argument that the balance was already found 30 years ago, but it’s a complicated topic and tensions are high right now so whatever the right move is, it’s less likely to be found during the period when a more knee-jerk response can override those considerations.

Games@lemmy.world•If you want to get into handheld gaming, but don't want to spend a lot, buy one of these.English
15·2 months agoI personally use a PS4 controller with a phone mount. The weight distribution is maybe a bit less comfortable depending on what angle your hold it, but it’s pretty compact and the controller itself is great quality this way.

World News@lemmy.world•Italy now recognizes the crime of femicide and punishes it with life in prisonEnglish
102·2 months agoI doubt they are saying to discard all motives; specifically they said “murder is murder” so using cases that aren’t intentional (ie manslaughter, not murder) undermines your point. It’s more that there’s an upper limit or certain criteria where we stop caring what the person’s motives are, so where do we draw that line? I don’t pretend to know the answer, but it’s a question worth exploring even if you think you know the answer already.



Last I looked into the difference, (in my area) if you planned to stay longer than three years, owning was the cheaper option. Less than that you’d be better off renting. Assuming no big house repairs of course, and no crazy house value changes.
