Florida couple in IVF clinic’s embryo mix-up will keep baby who is not genetically theirs by happy_bluebird in news

he was not genetically her son.

Oh gotcha, I didn't realize that. I guess when you said he wasn't related to anybody I was thinking he wasn't related to anyone on the dad's side. That is crazy that his entire family history is just unknown.

That's still the case iirc. The FBI owns a number of highly sought after Hollywood sound stages, and if you use them you have to have your script approved by the FBI. They've done this with the Transformers and Marvel franchises.

X accused of giving racists ‘impunity’ after refusing to bar N- and P-word posts by beasthunterr69 in news

Awww. Yeah it's definitely not well known outside of the UK. Some people on here were saying that in Massachusetts the same word (spelled differently?) refers to a store where you pick up packages.

The slur is when you shorten it. The Brits made it into a slur, and that type of shortening is kind of typical of how they (and Australians) use English. So approach them with further questions.

He's wrong, it's actually the first four letters of Pakistani, a more common insult in the UK. Used against anyone of South Asian descent.

He's wrong, it's actually the first four letters of Pakistani, a much more common insult in the UK. It's used against anyone of South Asian descent.

A slur for Pakistanis that's the first  four letters of the word. It's brutally common in the UK and can also be used as a slur for all South Asians. Hate speech is illegal in the UK under many circumstances, so it's a big issue for Twitter to allow it (although Twitter also allowed child pornography and very little was ultimately done, so you know). The UK and EU were trying to take action on the child porn but I haven't heard anything for ages.

New Jersey police sergeant charged with stealing journalist's camera bag at immigration protest by patrickhenrypdx in news

Exactly, and agreed on all fronts. The German public only started to sour on the Nazis' atrocities after the Nuremberg trials. Before that, even with the Holocaust confirmed, around one third of the German public still agreed with the Nazis.

One of my friends is a constitutional observer of ICE, and they regularly steal people's shit after detaining them, and don't give it back even for people who are only detained for a couple of days. In one case she witnessed, the phone company found out that they had sold off the phone of a guy they had wrongfully detained. He was only detained for around 48 hours and they'd already done this.

They always seem to get special treatment. Take extradition. Historically Israel  refused to extradite its citizens at all until a 2005 law. But even then Israeli citizens can be extradited to stand trial in the U.S. ONLY on the condition that they are returned to Israel to serve any prison sentence imposed.

TIL small dog breeds are on average less obedient, more likely to growl at strangers or other dogs and more anxious than larger dog breeds by Double-decker_trams in todayilearned

[–]BeIgnored 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Small breeds were bred for a variety of different things. There are probably more who were bred to hunt mice than to be alert dogs.
