I think they meant the stuff applied to animal skins to make it leather. Can be done cheap and extremely dirty..

A cruel irony

Reading the comments here makes me overly conscious about choosing my word carefully. Say “cure” instead of “medication” and there goes the point you wanted to make!

Gentle reminder that generally nothing happens when cutting specific people out of your life. If you want to make people change, having a connection helps more than anything else.

Qualified experts of Lemmy, do people believe you when you answer questions in your field?

What you’re describing feels like the Dunning–Kruger effect. When you don’t know you know very little, you have more confidence than you’re likely to have after spending decades on a subject.

When you start asking questions in response you’re likely to pull someone further into realizing what they actually don’t know, killing their confidence. Of course this doesn’t work when they’re being zealots (or otherwise protecting their own sanity)..

[Video] Dutch police violently assault pregnant German wife of a Palestinian refugee and then attack the Palestinian after he defends his wife

Looks like a bad apple issue, one doesn’t deal with the tension well at all and then the rest has to deal with that fallout. I mean, just look at their reactions to their colleagues’ action; gawking in disbelief and late in response to the man’s retaliation.

I get the US police problem, but that shit doesn’t do well for Dutch police officers.
