@draaglom @aliceisplaying London is specifically targeted by the phone-snatching gangs, so it's not a surprise it's so high. It's a crime that barely exists elsewhere, even in other major cities.

@aliceisplaying FWIW working this kind of thing out from police-reported stats is really hard, as reporting/definitional/etc stuff can explain a lot of the diff
IIRC if you look at victimisation surveys england/wales is like +30-50% for petty theft vs US, so 4.5x true rate would be surprising
English
someone in the replies said that surely london has lower crime rates than new york to which i say lol. lmao even
Mike Bird@Birdyword
One thesis (among several) I've heard about why this form of low-level phone theft has been absolutely rampant in London but seemingly much more unusual in NYC is that the NYPD is better at disrupting organised crime like this. I have no idea if that's true, but I'd love to know

@AnnikaTyckerAtt @cavesofsteel Autism is practically THE "weird/sorta different" condition
English
@cavesofsteel There can only be one experience. There can only be one reason.
Is it really "visible", if people just assume you're weird/sorta different?
English
“It’s not like autism is visible” I challenge you to go out with me one da and see how often people ask me where I’m from, offer me a priority seat in the train and don’t talk to me at all if I ask a question. Divergence my ass
e ❦@whimpermanence
autism is a social & information processing disorder. most people with autism don’t even know they are disabled because they have nothing to compare it to. it’s not like autism is visible.

@pookiednp There's a really awkward mid-point with masking where you're good enough at it that you don't get read as autistic, but you still get read as weird without the leeway afforded by people realising you're autistic
English
“i would obviously never judge you if you’re autistic” no you would. you just wouldn’t judge a person who has TOLD YOU they’re autistic. it is so often a hidden disability and you have 100% talked to autistic people without knowing they’re autistic
aniek@pookiednp
hate when someone tries to call a person out for having negative connotations around common autistic behavior and they reply with “this doesn’t apply if you’re autistic” ah yes because you have the ability to magically tell who has autism and who doesn’t

@SirQuinno @93vintagejones Starmer's not going to turn down the one possible thing that could save his premiership
English
@93vintagejones You're assuming they'll actually get the order to do something. Not exactly a given atm.
English
@93vintagejones I do enjoy the idea that somehow Thatcher defended the Falklands through sheer willpower, like it was telekinesis that sunk the Belgrano and not a torpedo
English
@nocontextEFC We need a right winger almost as much as we need a right back
English
Rightback, leftback, striker. Big summer needed. Same as every summer.
English
@Stylo_____ Him, Garner and Armstrong could be an elite level midfield 3 in a few years
English
It’s a weird one because he offers so much in the 10 just from running down the channels, we’ve scored a few this season from him latching onto long balls in the half space off the left.
But at the same time, some of his best games this season came in the midfield pairing.
Aiden@AidenWrigh53577
Dewsbury-hall is an 8 btw and I will die on that hill.
English
@AidenWrigh53577 Would love to see us do a 433 with Ndiaye up front, lack of good right wingers aside it's a perfect set up for us
English
@NJSussexGuy @Landeur I'm not really sure what you guys expect, you've been flying your planes out of British airfields on British soil, and then you go threaten our sovereignty. If the American right keep on this path you're quickly going to realise you need us more than you think
English
@Landeur Trust me on this one issue which may not be clear from Britain: 100% of American conservatives, including those who hate Trump, are aligned on this very issue: in our eyes PM’s “no” meant betrayal from our ally in the time of need. This will not be easily forgotten.
English
Trump trying to use the Falkland Islands as a pressure point is not sensible.
The lefties in the UK already hate America and Trump. This won’t change that.
But on your current trajectory nationalist / patriotic Brits will start to hate you too.
English
@Jburtonefc He's got talent, but he's not ready for the Prem on a regular basis. The real crime is keeping the likes of him and Armstrong in the squad rotting instead of letting them get game time in the Championship
English
aznou not featuring once since coming on and winning us a penalty in absolutely mental
like, criminally mental
Stylo@Stylo_____
Days since players last got more than 10 minutes (excluding added time) in an Everton game: Harrison Armstrong - 61 Charly Alcaraz - 84 Tyler Dibling - 84 Nathan Patterson - 89 Merlin Rohl - 97 Adam Aznou - 105
English
@James_UTFT @Oscar_B117 Playing as a second striker is a really different role to being the 9, I'm sure he could make do, he's a really flexible player, but he's not going to be up to par
English
@Oscar_B117 Rohl played as a second striker for Freiburg and has always been in those attacking roles, idk why there’s this assumption that he’s some defensive player
English
@Stylo_____ Aznou wasn't bought to be first team ready, and his price reflects that. No defense possible for the other two, Dibling should never have been bought for anything near that price
English
We signed a left back and have played him once after giving him a full preseason.
We turned down the chance to sign a right back despite having our second best centre back there.
We signed a winger for £40m and have given him 1 minute since January so McNeil can play.
Stupid.

@AliArthPainter @wotnsla20799 You don't need a formal diagnosis in most cases to get reasonable adjustments at work
English
@wotnsla20799 No, it makes me afraid that I'll be denied help. There's already a lack of support, but removal of diagnosis would mean no accommodations. I'd be unable to work or get healthcare
English
So pissed off about that article. Autism is a disabling condition which significantly impacts my life and having people repeatedly dismiss it and claiming it's overdiagnosed is disgustingly insulting.
English
@USRedTalk @Lythamred Food and drink definitely doesn't count as part of the cost, and even ignoring that we earn a lot less than you guys do
English
@Lythamred I hope it doesn’t turn out that way for you either. Prices in the US are way too high to attend a game of your favorite team. Between parking, food+ drinks, and ticket, the total to go see an MLS team is easily upwards of $100 USD. I do not want them for you guys at Anfield.
English
As an American, this doesn’t make sense to me. I understand protesting the ticket price increases, but it’s such a small percentage increase compared to what we have to pay over here in America. Going to an MLS match costs more than what a Premier League match costs.

@UnstableSudaca @KinderheimRune @eugyppius1 Britain will never willingly give up sovereignty to your lot, it would be political poison
English
@KinderheimRune @eugyppius1 We are never going to war for the islands again, most that will happen is rearmament causing the brits to upscale their garrison until they decide maintaining it is too expensive and they roll up another co-rule deal like they did in 1974 (fell through bc country went to shit)
English
a lot of this 'disarmed euro' mythology is highly misleading. the brits have not left the falklands undefended, quite the opposite.

Britain could lose the Falklands because of weak leadership. It's not the 80s anymore, there's no Thatcher in charge and the UK is a depressing shell of its former self. If Argentina simply walks in and takes over, possibly soon with Trump's approval, what exactly will Keir Starmer do? Send an angry worded letter? Would he even care at all?
English
@tom_m78 @adamintheword_ @A9tactical @bencrawford94 Garner, sorry. Esp in the form he's in I don't think there's any chance of him playing outside of the midfield
English
@RyanSoccerAA That said, it's not just down to Moyes. If he's not willing to play players who aren't prem-ready (which frankly is fair!) we shouldn't be buying them. Dibling was a colossal waste of money that could have been better spent buying around Barry's level
English
I find it amusing that so many are suddenly calling Everton's recruitment in the summer bad. But it doesn't matter if you buy young, talented players, if you don't have a plan to play them. The manager has to take some blame for that.
