Ignoring the equity you gain when you're paying down a mortgage on a house.

Any expenses that come with house ownership are paid by rent.

Just ... No.

Not unless you're really dumb, people accidentally shoot themselves with "unloaded" guns all the time.

If you get shot cleaning your gun you have MAJORLY fucked up.

Like, you have to try to be that level of stupid and it still happens. People are just incredibly dumb it would seem. I mean, I know we must have a ton of morons in this country in order for Trump to get elected because ... Everything.

I was also thinking it's like sharecropping (which is pretty much just slavery with extra steps, super fucked up).

Russia really is just a worse version of the USA.

What the actual fuck is going on in this late stage capitalist hellscape?

This is supposed to be a hilarious Adult Swim infomercial not real.

I don't think you understand how American government works if you think abstaining from voting is pressuring anybody to do anything.

Ah yes I'm a morally bankrupt coward for ... Voting? Being realistic about our world? Caring about more than one thing at a time?

If it wasn't concern trolling and people actually cared about the Palestinians more than some moral superiority complex we would have Harris as president. Instead people were too short sighted or dumb to realize they were being manipulated into giving Trump support by them not voting or voting third party.

So ... Yeah, obviously I think what happened and is happening in Gaza is fucked up. It's a man made famine starving kids, not to mention all the other ways they're dying.

This is literally ripped from me asking Gemini "how can a medical examiner tell if a person was blindfolded when they died" so I expect down votes since I'm being forthright about that and not just pawning it off as my own.

Tl;Dr: markings, particularly bruising, fiber or other material remnants, blood vessels in the eyes rupturing from the blindfold.

Here's what the ai said:

A medical examiner (forensic pathologist) can determine if a person was blindfolded at the time of death by looking for several types of evidence, primarily through a thorough external examination of the body and the scene investigation. Key indicators that might be present include:

• Imprints or Markings on the Skin:
  • Bruising (Contusions): The force or pressure of a tight blindfold, especially if the person struggled, can leave distinct bruises on the skin around the eyes, across the bridge of the nose, and/or around the head.
  • Abrasions (Scrapes): Friction from the material moving against the skin, particularly near bony prominences like the orbital ridges or bridge of the nose, can cause scrapes.
  • Ligature Marks: A fold, crease, or indentation in the skin, often in the pattern of the blindfold material (e.g., a line for a strip of cloth, a crosshatch pattern for gauze), can be visible. These are similar to those seen from restraints or ligatures.
• Trace Evidence:
  • Fibers or Residue: The material used for the blindfold (e.g., fabric fibers, tape residue) might be transferred to the skin, hair, or eyelashes of the deceased. These small pieces of evidence are collected and analyzed by forensic scientists.
• Hemorrhages (Bleeding):
  • Petechiae: Small, pinpoint hemorrhages (broken blood vessels) in the conjunctiva (the lining of the eyelids and eye) or the skin of the eyelids can be caused by the pressure of a tight restraint around the head or neck area, which can obstruct venous return.
• Scene Investigation:
  • The Blindfold Itself: The most direct evidence is the discovery of the blindfold still on the body or nearby. The medical examiner or crime scene investigators will document its position and material.
  • Associated Evidence: The location of the body, other restraints, and signs of a struggle can corroborate the use of a blindfold as part of a struggle, kidnapping, or execution. The findings from the external examination and the scene are crucial because they represent ante-mortem (occurring before death) or peri-mortem (occurring around the time of death) events. If the markings show signs of vital reaction (like bruising/bleeding), it confirms the person was blindfolded while still alive or in the process of dying.

Nah, I think a lot of people genuinely just also concern troll and are fake mad. Besides this is the internet, I don't put much stock in what strangers on Lemmy have to say.

At the end of the day it isn't worth worrying over or getting actually upset IRL because some dude has a bad take.

I mean also low-key fuck that person but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I hope your day/life gets better, you seem very upset.

Nobody is simping for Netanyahu I just would prefer a world where Harris won and Trump lost. Part of the reason Harris lost was people not voting for the Dem candidate and actively helping a person who has an even worse track record on Israeli-Palestinian relations win the office of the president.

It makes no sense. It's like not voting to have a golf ball put up your ass so the pineapple can get shoved up there instead.

Lol you're such a silly goose.
