  • “I think often times the judicial division gets kind of the label of it’s safe because we’re serving papers. There’s nothing safe about judicial. You are dealing with people’s emotions each and every day,” explained Sheriff Johnson III.

    The sheriff seems to care more about the safety of his deputies than the morality of dragging elderly people out of their home.

    He does acknowledge that they are ousting someone from their home. But it is only brought up to reinforce the statement about safety.

    “You’re taking someone’s home away. That’s their last stand like that. I can tell you the first time I bought my first piece of property, how proud I was to be a homeowner. That is the American dream. And you’re taking that away from somebody. You talk about a world of emotion. [I’m] extremely proud of our deputies because we really go above and beyond to try to help our citizens along the way.”





  • Prior to the lemmy update, I had a comment viewing problem. Refreshing the comments in my app would fix it. This issue is happening when viewing lemmy in my browser as well as my app. Refreshing doesn’t fix the problem. Only when I am logged out can I see the comments. I can only see and respond to your comment through my inbox. If I go to the post. It all disappears.

    Edit: Weirdly, I can see your comment, but not any of the others.













  • AFAIK mineral oil and petroleum jelly are considered food safe. In the food industry they are used as lubricant on machinery that comes into contact with food (like meat slicers or even soda machines). Petroleum jelly is also found in a lot of skin care products, like Vasoline, vapo-rub, makeup -removing cream, and is also used in lip balm.

    That being said, oil & gas extraction has and is wreaking havoc on our environment and health. So, while these products may be safe for human contact, they have a cost.
