Yup, in most parts of Europe, if you had a horse, you were pretty well off. Horses require a lot of specialized care and gear, most of which was expensive.

Mirshe@lemmy.worldto THE POLICE PROBLEM@lemmy.world•ICE 'morale in crapper' as agents forced to 'arrest gardeners'English11·2 days agoDon’t forget literally snatching children as “bait”. Kid’s a birthright citizen, but if you arrest THEM and they call Mom about “some people said they were from ICE and they took me away from school”, you can arrest the parents when they show up and deport THEM instead (and often put the kid in foster care instead of sending them with their parents to whatever country of origin.

From 96-09, he was a legal US citizen because his “rocket” was somehow just incubating the embryonic Kal-El and thus he was ACTUALLY born on American soil from the Birthing Matrix.

They are born sad, they die sad, so I just wanted to make the whole world sad'3·2 days agoYup. Even a “happy” life is usually bought in blood and regrets.

You’ll remember there were a lot of white supremacist orgs helping after the hurricane in NC/WV/SC, mostly to scare black and brown people away from actually finding help.

No no, it’s cooler than that. We tried out aviation on Mars to make sure we figured out how to do aviation on Titan.
Mirshe@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•Trump Agriculture Chief Mocked for Suggesting Medicaid Recipients Could Replace Deported Farm Workers11·4 days agoThis is Trump’s admin calling you a “useless eater”. I recommend you get familiar with the term.
No, she’s just (for now) a talking head on the news. But that alone lends her significant voice in the Trump admin.
According to Laura Loomer, it’s just Hispanics period. Right after the opening of that concentration camp, she made a “joke” post that “we’re going to give those alligators 65 million meals” - 65 million is the population of Hispanics in America.
Mirshe@lemmy.worldto DC Studios@lemmy.world•James Gunn Says ‘Superman’ Is An “Immigrant” Story About “Basic Human Kindness”English2·5 days agoHonestly, from seeing him in the costume, I think David Corenswet is going to be a great Superman. Whether that translates to a great Clark Kent is a different story. As with most secret identity heroes, most actors are good at one or the other, but not both at the same time.
This is just most education systems in America. You’re autistic or have other learning disabilities? Fuck you.
Unless you’re in a wealthy school district without easy access to a specialized school for “those people”, your options are limited if you’re in public school.

Mirshe@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•Evangelical church urges Trump admin to 'execute' LGBTQ Americans8·5 days agoYeah, this sounds an awful lot like “oh please won’t someone take the law into their own hands.”
Mirshe@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•Don’t call it ‘Alligator Alcatraz.’ Call it a concentration camp.6·7 days agoOh no, he’s still trying to do that. It was one of the first things he ordered the Bureau of Prisons to do. He posted about it a few days ago, this time talking about somehow surrounding it with sharks (because of course).
Mirshe@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•Don’t call it ‘Alligator Alcatraz.’ Call it a concentration camp.5·7 days agoBehind the Bastards did a good piece on the arguable complicity of the Times in the Holocaust over journalistic “neutrality”.
Mirshe@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•Don’t call it ‘Alligator Alcatraz.’ Call it a concentration camp.51·7 days agoThis is also pretty much incorrect. They might not have known specifics or scale necessarily, but if you read interviews RIGHT AFTER the war, pretty much everybody in German territory at least knew someone who had been dragged off to a camp, at gunpoint usually, and their house and possessions put up for auction literally within a week. After two or three of these, you get the message.
They knew, by and large, that these people were not coming back. These concentration camps were outside Germany, but many, if not most, Germans figured it out for themselves. Many were simply willing to put it aside because Depression Weimar was like Revolutionary France, and people were willing to take the first strongman that came across and said “hey I KNOW how we need to fix this, and it starts with THOSE GUYS whose fault it all is”.
The film evidence was for the core of the core of the empire - Berlin, Munich, etc, where your average citizen might’ve been afforded protection from the watching the nice Goldschmidt family marched out of their house, and for posterity so people couldn’t do what people in the US were already trying to do with the Native American genocide and chattel slavery.
Because Lucas was one of the last auteurs, and believed her moderating influence was absolutely ruining his vision.
