Unable to make bail criminalizes poverty

And some people still think women have it easier... smh

Pitbulls are also the most abused species of all, because of some small-dicked asshats using them as status symbols or intimidation devices. Poor mistreated animals, shelters full with them.

makes a lot of sense from what i’ve seen on the road.

Always need the D

Guns, I really really hate guns. People wonder why crime has increased its because of the guns. It's to easy to get them they don't check for the things like sings of suicidal thoughts or anything in the process of buying.

We know. They gave up avocado toast to get where they are. No other way to explain it

I wonder what the figures are for vehicles with touchscreens and accidents.

Oh I bet they can.... they just don't wanna tell you

Reservations are a form of segregation.

And then when you reach 69, you are so blissful because you can't remember the bad life you had.

I would guess it’s higher than 1 in 7 unfortunately. Remember, when you seek mental health they have to write you up for something so they can bill insurance. At least in the US.

I spend all day with myself and I'm not a big fan of me so of course I'm going to pick apart every aspect of myself and the lack of self esteem won't let me gloss over the crappy bits of my being. Depression can lead to deep introspection that will either drive you further down the hole or can help you recognize patterns in your life that trigger your symptoms. Can be a useful side effect or a curse.

I did not know that before I lost my first baby. People should talk more about this. Young women should be prepared.

I was once asked if i'd ever kissed a man to which i replied no only for him to then force his tongue down my throat. Did i report it? no because no one cares when its a man being assaulted.

But don't dismiss the importance of pressing charges. It may scare the perpetrator when suddenly faced with any consequences. It could make them not want to risk doing it again. Also a record of accusations may help getting a guilty verdict in a later rape trail.

in the USA...

Being in Rwanda at the moment, which has banned non-reusable plastics, this can change its just it is expensive to do so and so governments do not

I have known several men whose entire mood and outlook on life is based on how their favorite sports team is doing, and I think that's the most ridiculous thing in the world. Sports are for entertainment and the second that you make it your life, you're going to be disappointed.

We didn't evolved to be sedentary creatures, gotta use it or you lose it as they say.

The leading cause of pregnant women in the US is homicide, not around the globe. https://www.bmj.com/company/newsroom/homicide-is-a-leading-cause-of-death-in-pregnant-women-in-the-us/#:~:text=Women%20in%20the%20US%20are,experts%20in%20The%20BMJ%20today.

Source: Pulled from my a*s? This century, Gallup polling has consistently shown the percentage of Americans not reading any book in the past year at between 16 and 18%. That's just "in the past year", not "never reads books", though I imagine a sizeable part of those who don't read a book even once in a whole a year probably don't read at all. Still, absent better evidence, it's probably closer to 10% than 60.

21000 now and counting.

Best wishes and long life to recovering Pandas

To anyone suffering from addiction we love you and hope for the best for you! 🫶

Wow I’m really struggling with my recovery and this just made me feel even more hopeless :( I hope I can be that 1 in 12

Wow, I think it's quite uplifting. I was sure that the numbers are much, much lower, more like 1 in 50 and I'm positively surprised now

What is considered addiction/recovery - I was a blackout drunk out from age 14 to 24 (with time out for USMC); I now sometimes drink a glass of wine, sometimes a beer but have not gotten drunk in 30+ years. Was I addicted? Am I recovered? There is no alcohol struggle in my life - maybe I am just one of the lucky ones who survived to age 75 *Edit: During my alcohol/pot years there are times I would be driving home and would suddenly not know where I was, where I was going or where I came from. The 1st time this happened, I freaked out and pulled over where I saw a street sign that answered all those questions so whenever that happened again (and it did often) I just drove until I saw a street sign to tell me where I was and where I was going

This includes ALL addictions. Even food 🍱

hoping my other half figures out how to become one of those 12

you can be that one, if you're trying to recover! You can.

But try to get some decent maple syrup in Tokyo.

OR, more likely, one in ten women put “father not known” on their child's birth certificate. If the Father wants to be on the birth certificate, and he is not married to the mother, HE HAS TO BE THERE WHEN THE BIRTH IS REGISTERED and agree. And he then gets paternal rights, and duties, in bringing up the child.

Nuclear is the safest best way forward as of right now.

I just wash my hands in my pee, such a time saver!

These stats will never cease pissing me off. Almost all of Bezos "wealth" is directly tied to the value of his amazon stock, of which he retains 10.5%. This is true for almost all the much hated billionaires....they have STOCK, not 100 billion sitting in the bank. And because they are board members, or executives, they cannot sell that stock withOUT multiple levels of approval.....because if bezos decided to dump all his shares, not only would he get a fraction of a penny of the supposed value....but amazon would cease to exist, 1.5 million people would be unemployed and countless people wouldn't get their very important overnight delivery of edible underwear, twinkies and condoms. The only way they have money to spend, is either by trading stock....or taking loans out against that stock....because a loan is a debt.....that money is not taxed up until the point stock is actually sold TO COVER THE DEBT. Which is why musk paid $11 billion in taxes last year.

In the US alone there have been more than 700 school shootings reported: https://images.app.goo.gl/moDPjwKoUF32eJ588

When I worked at Nestle' I was coming from the automotive sector, where 10% regrind of virgin plastic was acceptable. Suggested that to local Nestle' mgmt, you would hope they would have at least investigated it...nope. Talked to me as if I was trying to bring down the company.

Poverty it's self is just a really sh*ty thing all around. No one mentions how hard it is for families when going through a divorce. Financially it's just really hard. So yeah this fact sadly doesn't surprise me.

I read that as outside the hospital as in on the street in front, had to reread it a few times for it to make sense

I wish these posts included sources - many of them sound as credible as wot a bloke in the pub told me. According to a Home Office report (Morgan et al 2020), the UK homicide clearance rate is around 80%, though I found a poorly sources claim that it's fallen dramatically. A study comparing four Western European countries (Liem et al 2018) found similar or better rates. It's much worse in the US, with recent FBI stats reportedly putting it around 50%, down from about 65%... Whatever, the point is that these "SHOCKING FACTS" would be a lot more interesting if they were backed up by evidence. As it is, it's more a list of "what's something you remember hearing somewhere and that sounds like it's probably true to you?"

A few years ago the misses fell with her hand landing in the toilet and being broken.

Did BP seriously censor the first suicide but not the second?

So annoying when governments and utility company expect you to do all the contract via internet. There are still places that can't even get 3G access in cities

corruption PERCEPTION index. It means how corrupt other people think you are. I worked in this area. There are a number of factors involved in calculating it.

Thanks, No Child Left Behind. An excellent idea on paper, rubbish in practice because they have to simply push kids along whether they're capable of performing in the next grade or not.
