Get one of your professional contacts to honestly evaluate him.

You can’t objectively evaluate him since he’s your kid, and any advice he hears from you will be subject to scrutiny since you’re his parent.

If you’re right then your message will be more believable from a third party, and if you’re wrong then they will hopefully catch that.

Either way, you are right to try to set him up for success; that’s your job as his parent.

I’m pretty sure that’s exactly what happened here.

The odds of finding the real culprit after they’ve already eluded capture for 5+ days are extremely low.

Additionally, the evidence they supposedly found on him is extremely suspicious:

1. An untraceable gun that he allegedly kept on him the entire time even though the shooter discarded everything else.
2. A confession note that starts by talking about how much he respects the cops.

That doesn’t just sound like the sort of thing that would be planted on him… that sounds like the sort of thing that would be planted on him by an idiot.

Unless they have actual body cam footage of them catching him and finding the evidence, I have to assume he was framed.

We can’t control the American voters so complaining about them doesn’t actually accomplish anything.

We can, however, change the Democratic party to better align with the voters.

That should be everyone’s focus.

The democrats objectively were wrong.

They lost the election.

That’s the only measure of right or wrong that actually matters.

They literally had only one job and they fucked it up again.

I assume the highlighted region is meant to call out the fact that they’re claiming a metaphorical expression isn’t being used metaphorically.

Yes, that’s incredibly stupid, and yes the entire letter is pro-hate propaganda.

However, I think it’s important to also call out something else about the phrase “wiped of the map”…

It’s an English language idiomatic expression.

Idiomatic expressions are language specific.

When you see a quote attributed to someone speaking Farsi, and it includes English idiomatic expressions, you can be fairly certain the translation is complete bullshit, and whoever created the translation is trying to manipulate you.

No, not every woman, just the black and brown ones.

This is going to be enforced the exact same way the war on drugs is; selectively based on perceived race.

Trump is full of shit.

There’s no other place for the Palestinians to go.

Egypt and Jordan aren’t going to take Palestinians from Gaza, so all of his talk is just bluster meant to appeal to Israeli right wingers.

He actually did take the oath without putting his hand on a bible and they did try to make a big deal about it.

John Roberts messed up the oath during the inauguration and they had to redo it later.

During the do-over there was no bible: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_inauguration_of_Barack_Obama

My stubborn position is that all fruits are vegetables.

Anything that comes from a plant (vegetation) is a vegetable.

EDIT: Reading up on the case, they apparently didn’t treat fruits and vegetables as disjoint sets but rather with fruits as a subset of vegetables. So far, so good…

HOWEVER, they also apparently ruled that tomatoes don’t count as a fruit because they aren’t eaten for dessert…

Wow… just… wow.

This is a bury-your-head-in-the-sand level of denial.

His legacy is genocide.

Nothing else… if you engage in genocide that’s the only legacy you get.

Everything else gets overshadowed and forgotten.

One of my favorite foods; stinky tofu is absolutely delicious.

There’s a reason they don’t call them “Just Okay Horned Owls”

Not to mention the CCTV Spring Festival Gala (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/CMG_New_Year's_Gala).

This isn’t even remotely close to the biggest.

It’s the format used in large parts of Asia.

It’s already been two and a half days. The longer they go without catching him the less likely it will be that they do.

The fact that they are issuing a wider manhunt seems to back that up.

Given the publicity, I’m sure that they’ll catch a guy, but I’m skeptical that they’ll catch that guy.

Thanks for linking to the video. There is an auto translate option for it buried deep in the CC settings (at least there was for me).

My impression that I was left with is that the guy speaking is basically panicking because he doesn’t want to look bad.

My reaction is “Good. Let the bastards squirm!”

The German government has gone out of their way to silence any opposition to genocide. Fear of looking like a Nazi is the closest they will come to self awareness.

This was in line with my immediate thoughts too.

It seems grossly unfair to judge Japanese people on their ability to speak English.

Use one hand to scoop and use the fingers on your other hand to count to ten. Then you don’t have to remember.

@athairmor@lemmy.world is right; presidents cannot pardon state level crimes: https://constitution.congress.gov/browse/essay/artII-S2-C1-3-1/ALDE_00013316/

Specifically, the offense must be “against the United States”, and state level offenses are only against the respective state, not the United States.

My first thought is that this entire article reads like a camouflaged press release from Meta.

The source for the article seems to be an anonymous, internal leak, but those “leaks” are often from the company itself as a way to send a message while maintaining plausible deniability.

My second thought is that they are grouping together wildly different types of infractions without saying how many people were guilty of each one. It’s possible that one person was committing outright fraud while everyone else was just accused of a minor technicality.

Finally, the accusation of “pooling” funds seems like a big tell. That’s what you should want the employees to do to save the company money. Without specific details about why that was wrong this sounds more like a gotcha than a legitimate reason to fire someone.

All of these together make this article seem like a way of scaring employees into resigning so they can cut the workforce without being subject to WARN act requirements.
