Stilicho , to world in Canadian 'poison seller' Kenneth Law faces more charges

This bs made it impossible to buy sodium nitrite, which is a very useful reagent as an amateur chemist. Like really can’t we just start blaming the people that use chemicals irresponsibly instead of the chemicals themselves, like they’re some anthropomorphic inherent evil out to get you.

About damned time. I was checking the LGBT travel advisories a few months ago, and was surprised that the US was green. Absolutely no way should anyone be travelling to Florida.

US is too big and diverse to rate as one unit. It should be broken down into states since the laws can vary so wildly.

That’s what they eventually did. They do that with other countries as well.

There’s a state-by-state map updated last in June here: erininthemorning.com/…/june-anti-trans-legislativ…

MonkderZweite ,

What is the name of the “Do not travel” state?

I mean, this map is for travelers to the US, people who don’t know the map exactly.

Misconduct ,

That’s the turd dingleberry that we call Florida.

It’s labeled in the other photo fyi

MonkderZweite ,

TIL there’s more maps further down. 🤦

Misconduct ,

Look at that light blue for my state! It’s not the best but I’m still so proud of our progress. Can’t wait for it to be the darker blue.

Netflix is dead to me for streaming, sure as hell won’t be using them for gaming.

BudgieMania , to gaming in Netflix: Streamer's expansion into gaming is 'natural extension'

I'm not surprised they feel like that, they have a lot in common with the gaming space in terms of fucking up franchises due to unrealistic expectations

zephyreks , to worldnews in China map: India lodges 'strong protest' over territory claims

Taiwan claims it too. China and Taiwan must be unified in their territorial claims, whether that is along the Himalayan border or in the South China Sea. Taiwanese and Chinese land claims move in lockstep

If I didn’t already hate Netflix, that thumbnail of beth Harmon with the Fortnite art style would make me hate the idea.

mr-apollo OP ,

As someone that has played a few “Netflix” games, I appreciate the Solitaire they offer. It has no advertising, no microtransactions, multiplayer, and the occasional new skin. The Daily challenges are also set up in a user friendly fashion where it doesn’t mandate the player to play it on an exact day.

I’m sure it will turn to shit one day but in the meantime it is good.

It’s solitaire man, pretty hard to fuck that one up.

You would think so but there isn’t a good version on Xbox.

burgersc12 , to worldnews in Burger King faces legal claim saying Whopper is too small

Supposedly its a 1/4 pound patty. Compare to the mcd’s quarter pounder. The whopper is thin, and I wouldn’t be surpised if it was smaller than advertised

Raiderkev ,

Eh, I think surface area is larger on a whopper n the meat sticks out of the bun more. Admittedly, the last time I got a whopper was in an airport like 6 months ago bc all chain fast food is absolute ass these days and way overpriced. I try to avoid it outright, but sometimes it’s the only option.

regalia , to worldnews in Canada warns LGBT travellers of US risks

2SLGBTQI+ is widely used in Canada for people who consider themselves two-spirit, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, questioning or intersex.

Yeah I don’t believe that lol, tf is that nonsense if a term

ricecooker ,

definitely learned a new one today…Two Spirit on Wikiwand

CanadaPlus ,

When speaking I always try and say LGBT+, the “+” being everyone else. Or just queer, which is a decent cover-all on it’s own. The ever longer acronyms get in the way of the point.

regalia ,

think we need to solve this with some regex. Do they accept wild card * ?

LadyAutumn ,

2SLGBTQ is a common term in the queer community where I’m from.

regalia ,

ah just rolls off the tongue doesn’t it

gornar ,
@gornar@lemmy.world avatar

Yep, common up here

BaconIsAVeg ,

For early adopters, the term “Two Spirit” was a deliberate act to differentiate and distance themselves from non-Native gays and lesbians

Differentiating yourselves from an already marginalized group? That’s a bold move Cotton…

Just physically say 2SLGBTQI+ out loud and hear how ridiculous that sounds.

@Woedin@lemmy.ml avatar

The yes side has not done very well with this.

While I think something should be done, the yes side hasn’t made a good argument.

Giving one group of people extra rights based on their racial heritage and putting it in the constitution.

Telling us how and what,… AFTER it is voted on

AFTER.

You know,… “just trust us, we will work out the details later”

kratoz29 , to worldnews in Burger King faces legal claim saying Whopper is too small

I mean, I can see the reasoning behind this, USA being one of the more obsess countries I can also see the irony here.

came_apart_at_Kmart , to worldnews in Burger King faces legal claim saying Whopper is too small

imo, the dishonesty is less about the size and more about how all the toppings look fresh on the menu, while in person they look like aged out grocery store culls and the burger always looks like someone put it between their ass cheeks and then watched a Peter Jackson movie before serving it.

i don’t really really get how one articulates that in a lawsuit.

i never really noticed it besides the hack bit in Falling Down until i went to a mcdonalds in japan. every item on the menu came out like a goddamn prop for a promotional photo. surreal. kinda made me realize that unless you’re willing to fork over a day’s median wage or more in the US for a prepared meal or go to some mom and pop place that gives a shit, you’re gonna get fuck you food from someone being paid a poverty wage to slop together utility-tier ingredients because screwing over the customer and the worker is what makes rich people more money.

digitalgadget ,

You really hit the nail on the head here. And you're absolutely right about the perfection of fast food in Japan. Well... don't order the fried chicken... but, most other things.

autotldr Bot , to worldnews in Blue supermoon: World gazes at rare lunar phenomenon

This is the best summary I could come up with:


Sky gazers around the world are in for a rare treat as a blue supermoon is making a spectacular appearance for the first time since 2009.

A blue Moon occurs when the pattern of days in a year means there are 13 full Moons instead of the usual 12.

This blue Moon is also a supermoon - when the Earth’s only natural satellite appears brighter than usual because it is at its closest point in its orbit around our planet.

The lunar spectacle is visible either on Wednesday or Thursday in different parts of the world.

In the UK, the best time to see the spectacle will be in early hours of Thursday morning.
