First off, not an officer, a high ranking enlisted(E-8) personal was the culprit.

Typically, anything E-4 or higher is considered a Non-Commisioned Officer.

EDIT further clarification: from my experience in the Canadian Army, what "Officers" means depends on context. Most often (and what !Bluefalcon@discuss.tchncs.de probably meant) it means just Commissioned Officers. Other times, it's anyone in leadership, including NCOs.

I completely agree that alcoholism is a disease, and as with any other disease, we have to look at the survivability if she got the transplant.

Let's be honest, while the article tries to be favourable to the patient, you can piece together the facts and see that her odds weren't good. While she's been sober since she got the diagnosis, it appears she was immediately hospitalised which tells us she was in very rough shape and has only been sober while in the hospital. Even if she was able to stay sober, it looks like the odds with a partial transplant aren't great.

What you said is true, so is the comment you're responding to.

From his Mastodon page:

Posts auf Deutsch 🇩🇪 and in English 🇬🇧

So he starts each of his post with an emoji showing which language he's posting in. I know there's also a language tag built into Mastodon, but he's chosen to use the emoji

AFAIK, Focus is FOSS. If that's correct, can you confirm that your issue is:

  • Builds aren't released on F-Droid, and you don't want to use the Play Store. Would FFUpdater fit your purpose?
  • You want an alternate to Firefox Focus which is also FOSS. Could you let us know what deficiencies an alternate would correct?
  • Something else?

Note the word "Plan". You've provided a proposal, which has not been implemented.

What makes you think we're not? IRCC's ranking system has a preference for trades-people over unskilled labour.

While he should have said it better, he's 100% correct.

And as we know all too well from history, enabling other freedoms (women's suffrage, marriage equality, or now getting around by bike) disrupts those already established freedoms!

I hope they keep making this series. I love small phones but I don't need an upgrade from my s10e yet.

This is actually nothing like that.

Besides what @0110010001100010@lemmy.world pointed out, "To Protect and to Serve" is just a motto, specifically the LAPD's (and other forces have also adopted this). Police aren't public protectors, their job is just to enforce the law (and a lot struggle with that).

Yes, it's wrong. It's understandable to want retribution, but it doesn't help improve the situation. We need to be better than that, even when our gut reaction is, "to hope these goon fucks get what's coming to them in prison?"
