I have a tattoo that means “I don’t know, I don’t speak japanese.” It works when an English speaker asks me what it means, and it also worked with the Japanese when I lived in Japan and didn’t speak the language.

MinorLaceration@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•Alarm as Pentagon Confirms Deployment of US Troops to Israel41·7 months agoIn case people aren’t clear, these soldiers are the operators of the additional THAAD system they are deploying to Israel. These aren’t infantry being sent to kick in doors alongside the IDF. THAAD is a ballistic missile defense system with no offensive capabilities. We already have a THAAD unit deployed to Israel.
Don’t be mad because you expect to see headlines saying US Soldiers are killing civilians in Gaza. Be mad because this enhances Israel’s ability to continue escalating conflict with Iran and hiding behind US cover when Iran strikes back.
MinorLaceration@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•9/11 terrorist begs judge to send him to France amid fears Trump will order execution4·9 months ago‘The terrorist wrote in his letter that he was warned by an attorney and a professor “that US law permit the US President to sentence to death any federal prisonneer [sic] deem to be a threat to National security.”’
He says that the President can do this, but it’s something I’ve never heard of and I can’t find anything to back his claim up. Is this even true?
Edit: Seems like something the author should have verified as well.
MinorLaceration@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•Man plotted electrical substation attack to advance white supremacist views, prosecutors say7·10 months agoThat is quite an interesting set of political beliefs this guy has.
MinorLaceration@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•Blind and deaf dog Teddy got lost in a neighbor’s yard. Police called to help him shot him dead67·11 months agoUnrelated to the incident, but I’m getting really fucking tired of articles using some unknown set of people posting online as justification for the conclusions of their articles. I don’t give half a shit what someone posted on the departments facebook page. I give a shit about the incident at hand. Don’t tell me how other people reacted online and expect me to do the same. Tell me what happened and let me come to my own conclusion.
Garbage article and garbage cop.
MinorLaceration@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•Mom of captured U.S. soldier Gordon Black says girlfriend 'lured' him to Russia7·1 year agoIt’s very common to have bars staffed by foreigners immediately outside of US bases in South Korea.
MinorLaceration@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•U.S. military aircraft airdrop thousands of meals into Gaza in emergency humanitarian aid operation3·1 year agoArmy parachute riggers wear those red hats so they can be picked out of the crowd to assist paratroopers. It could be them or their equivalent in the Air Force, but I’m not sure if Air Force riggers wear the same hats or not.
The people in the photo are rigging the chutes on those pallets and are either Army or Air Force based on the camouflage pattern.
The first two minutes of this video are very on point with this meme.
MinorLaceration@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•Cargo train locomotive derails in Colorado, spilling 100s of gallons of diesel344·1 year agoNot to minimize this, but could have been much worse. 100’s of gallons instead of 1000’s. Train remained upright. Sounds like they got lucky.
MinorLaceration@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•Dying thief who stole 'Wizard of Oz' ruby slippers from Minnesota museum will likely avoid prison35·1 year agoHe and his mob associate thought they’d use a million dollars of jems to make a movie prop? Neither of them thought that maybe the insurance valuation was due to their history? Not the brightest pair of criminals I’ve ever heard of.
MinorLaceration@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•California man Marcus Eriz found guilty of killing 6-year-old boy Aiden Leos in road rage incident8·1 year agoEligible for 40 years to life. Let’s hope it’s life.
None of the articles I’ve read, including this one, indicate that the driver got out of the vehicle. This one says he was actively driving through the mall when he was shot.
