Why are so many Afghans suddenly being deported back to Afghanistan? Why is it from so many different countries? - Lemmy.World

I know the easy card to say is well It’s just racism. But there has to be another reason on why so many countries are doing it. Are the countries just claiming they can’t afford it meaning it’s a financial issue to have so many immigrants? Is that a lot of the Afghans were not doing their immigration paperwork, Or not showing up to immigration appointments? What are these countries claiming is happening as to why so many from Afghanistan are getting deported? I mean, just because the US are doing something stupid doesn’t mean England and other countries need to. These countries have to realize the long-term side effects here. I’m curious what are these countries claiming is the reason for these deportations?

trying to run an OLD pc game in linux. tried steam no success this is on mint linux - Lemmy.World

i copied the exe file to my linux mint 22.1 system and added the game as a non steam game. it installed, but the game won’t run using steam i’ve tried proton 9.0-4 and also proton hotfix and proton 3.16-9 just for giggles I tried unchecking “force the use of a specific steam play compatibility tool” when i click on the game in steam the green “play” button switches to a blue “stop” button but then just goes back to a green “play” button. i’m thinking it’s to old for steam to be able to run it. (maybe?) any thoughts on another way to get this old as hell game to run?

For the TV show Holmes family rescue how much input does the family really get, the actual homeowner family? - Lemmy.World

Holmes Family Rescue [https://www.imdb.com/title/tt10902108/] In this TV show Mike Holmes and his son And daughter Fix people‘s homes that were renovated, but for whatever reason the renovation went horribly wrong. Mike and his family go in and they fix the home properly. Well, I’m curious is for the actual home owner family, the family who actually owns the home, how much input do they have on the changes that are made to their house? Like for example, if they repaint room, does the home owner actually get a say in the color of the paint? If a wall was taken down make more of an open concept, does the homeowner actually get a say? If the outside of the house had brick on it. Does the homeowner see if that brick is painted? I’ve been watching Mike Holmes for many years now and sometimes it seems like the family that he is helping out. Doesn’t really even know what’s happening until the job is done. What I mean is the homeowner family calls Mike or writes to Mike and says please help. Mike then goes through the house with the family to find out what was wrong and what family was trying to accomplish. Then the family basically leaves the house for a period of time while Mike and his crew come in and fix the problems. But while fixing the problems, obviously some things have to be torn down. But when they are rebuilt, I’m wondering how much say does the homeowner really have as it’s rebuilt, in other words what it looks like.

I'm trying to understand a financial question in a video. A lady is saying that she will Payback equity when she refinances, but I'm not sure how that helps her in the context to the video.

I'm trying to understand a financial question in a video. A lady is saying that she will Payback equity when she refinances, but I'm not sure how that helps her in the context to the video. - Lemmy.World

Video in question [https://youtu.be/6VIJS-LFAIo] What she says is that she got equity in the divorce, but when she graduates school, she has to refinance and then pay the equity back. I need somebody who understands finance to help me answer these questions. Is what she is saying that she got the equity at the time divorce, then when she graduates school, she takes out a loan and uses that loan to pay the equity back to the ex-husband? The second question: if the above is the case, and in the context of the video, if she doesn’t think he will live that long, Why would she want to forgo the alimony then? I mean, she isn’t getting the alimony right now, but she has the equity in the house which it sounds like she got that already, if he dies early well then she just basically keeps the equity so I’m not sure why she wants to Make the change she wants to make. I’m not looking for the emotional answers of she’s a money grabber or a horrible person or any of those sorts of answers. Because that’s not what I’m asking. What I’m trying to understand is the financial piece of it. Because she said she would be willing to forgo the alimony if she could just have the equity now. But it sounds like she she’s already got the equity so I’m really confused. Can someone watch that video and try to help me understand what financial benefit she’s going after?

If I hear a singer and I can't understand what they are saying/singing I lose interest very quickly.

I don’t mean singing in a foreign language, I mean if they aren’t enunciating their words. There is a style of singing where the singer rolls one word into the next word, or just cuts a word off. I find it distracting and I tend to skip the song very quickly when I realize what they are doing. While it is a popular way to sing, I have never enjoyed it. I heard some of it in the 1980s but it wasn’t widely used. Today I find a lot more singers doing it.
