TIL Marco Rubio's (R) maternal grandfather immigrated to the US without a visa, and a judge ordered that he be deported, but the order was later changed to allow him to stay. in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 days ago

I think I get what you're saying, but as far as I can tell, policy with that sentiment wasn't in place until ~4 years later. This dude was set to be deported as ordered by an immigration judge in Miami, then it was mysteriously overturned without any public explanation. It is unbelievable to me that an immigration judge in Miami in 1962 was not aware of a policy that gave Cubans residency for being here.

How is the Cuban Missile Crisis associated with Pedro Victor Garcia's deportation order being overruled on the same day?

That is such a cute coat! If there was a Scottish fold version of that cat, I would think it would be the undisputed cutest cat ever.

Nap game in c/[email protected]

I'm jealous of anyone that can nap. It seems so nice and recharging. You just lay down and sleep for a little, then wake up feeling better.

Is there a difference in meaning between the words people and persons? (lemmy.autism.place)
 

I often use the word people to mean multiple persons. However, I've noticed that sometimes people will laugh/smirk when I use it. For example, one time I was talking about how my sister and her family/household travel often, saying, "Those people travel a lot," and the person repeated those people and gave a slight laugh. I'm wondering if I may be giving some sort of unintentional implied message when I use that word.

Does the word people mean anything other than multiple persons, such as a group of persons united by a common identity (family, experience, nationality, ethnicity, etc.)?

If you had to divide your life by one event, before and after, what would that event be and why? (lemmy.autism.place)
 

I guess it's another way of asking, "What event in your life had to most effective impact?"

As a non-techie, where/how can I find out if software is safe? (lemmy.autism.place)
 

I'm a fan of FOSS and reasonable privacy with data. I also often look for and install software on my computers for random tasks as they come up. Today, when I was looking to install an extension to Firefox called Wikipedia-EN that helps me search Wikipedia by highlighting a word, the Mozilla page for the extension states:

This add-on is not actively monitored for security by Mozilla. Make sure you trust it before installing.

As someone that is not educated in programming or perpetually current on tech news, what can I do to assess the safety of this and other software? Is there a site that transparently evaluates software and publishes its findings?

It is a solution (lemmy.autism.place)

Caption on the screen: The "double-empathy problem" is misnamed because it is not a problem. It is a theory that explains why we observe limited empathy between autistic and non-autistic individuals. Not only is it not a problem, it is a solution because it helps us understand why things are the way they are. Stop calling it a problem. It is now the "interneurotype empathy divide"...or something. Idk, but it is not a problem.
