OldWoodFrame , in China's Evergrande files for bankruptcy

Assuming Chinese bankruptcy is similar to US style in generalities, I wonder if this is just a restructuring that will convert debt to equity and otherwise continue similarly, or if the org is so deep in that they’re getting sold off for parts.

iheartneopets , in Average long-term US mortgage rate climbs to 7.09% this week to highest level in more than 20 years

Rates shouldn't have been so low in the first place. Home loans have basically been free money for the wealthy to acquire houses as assets in a sick fucking get-rich-quick scheme, where the consequences have been no one being able to afford homes. Now all we need is a tax on unoccupied homes.

Imagine what kind of Reichstag Fire Decree they could come up with if she succeeded.

As an atheist, this is an insufferable way to be atheist/agnostic.

WtfEvenIsExistence ,

Lol I’m saying that as an expression. Like “Jesus Christ dude”. Even though I don’t necessary have to think the guy actually existed. Religion has entrenched itself with the English language it’s hard to get rid of these phrases.

Laticauda ,

Most people assume you’re just using the exclamation and not making an actual religious statement. You don’t have to include a disclaimer.

Jesus Christ dude (though I don’t believe that Jesus H Christ is my lord and saviour).

TheProtagonist , in 'Hell on wheels': Teen convicted of crashing car at 100 mph, killing boyfriend and friend

This is an unbelievable tragedy, for all of them. She just turned 18, I wonder what her sentence will be like. I assume that in the US - unlike the situation over here in Europe - there is no special “juvenile justice” for young adults, so she might face multiple lifetimes in prison after being convicted for murder. If I remember correctly you can get separate sentences for each victim, which will sum up to your total sentence.

Aeoneir ,

In the US, juvenile justice is what trying children as adults is called. As young as 13 you can be tried as an adult in crimes

TheProtagonist ,

When adult justice is applied, then there’s nothing “juvenile” in that. I guess the thinking behind that (over here) is that you are not yet a fully developed adult when you are 18 and that you might get another chance in life than when committing crimes at older ages.

JohnnyCanuck ,
@JohnnyCanuck@lemmy.ca avatar

I believe the point is that there’s a process for deciding whether a juvenile should be charged as a juvenile or as an adult. It means a juvenile who is mature enough to be making cold, calculated decisions (like, “hey, I’m a juvenile, I can get away with more”) can still be tried as an adult.

Gotta keep those prisons stuffed. Glad to see absolutely zero consequences of a for profit system.

No, the "juvenile justice" system in the US is... the American juvenile justice system

It has its own judges, facilities, probation offices, and everything.

Buffalox , (edited )

It’s a tragedy for the victims and their families, but I’m sorry, I can’t feel sorry for her. Seems she planned to harm them for petty reasons because she feels entitled. Probably a narcissist:

The Taliban is what happens when the US government funds and arms a right wing religious militia

utopianfiat ,

It’s not accurate to conflate the Mujahideen and the Taliban. In fact, the Taliban is in open conflict with a lot of former Mujahideen.

The Taliban predates US government intervention. Kindly STFU.

The Taliban came to power after the Russian invasion of Afghanistan, you dollard!

electrogamerman , in Woman Is Awarded $1.2 Billion in ‘Revenge Porn’ Lawsuit

As a german, I always find amusing when americans are scared of not being able to find a job because they have nude photos online. Meanwhile I have practically seen all of my colleagues/family naked either at the job showers, sauna or nudist parks and beaches.

themeatbridge ,

Now imagine none of those people knew you had seen them naked.

electrogamerman ,

Point is nudity is such a big deal in the us. In Germany no one cares about nudism

themeatbridge ,

No the point is the choice to be seen nude. Plenty of people in the US are quite comfortable being seen nude, but you’re correct that most people don’t want that. I’m pretty sure if you took a camera into a sauna in Germany, and posted the pictures online, the subjects of your photos would be upset about it.

burleyguy ,

Special interest groups for the U.S. porn industry propagating shame on the amateurs to boost professional porn sales. 😋

HerrLewakaas ,

German here too. I have no idea why, but I’d find that so incredibly weird. I guess I grew up in a very prude family. I’d love to be more open towards nudity because why the fuck not, there’s nothing inherently sexual or weird about naked people, but I really struggle with that

gravitas_deficiency , in Trump cancels news conference to release report on 2020 election

All of that aside, I think it’s amusingly odd how he seems to capitalize English kinda but not quite like it’s German.

Treczoks , in Taliban official says women lose value if their faces are visible to men in public

If I see this guy, I see this is more appropriate with men than women…

Hazdaz , in 'Hell on wheels': Teen convicted of crashing car at 100 mph, killing boyfriend and friend

Let’s see what kind of slap-on-the-wrist punishment she’s going to get on Monday.

100% guaranteed that if the roles were reversed and an 18 year old boyfriend did this and ended up killing his girlfriend and friend, they would throw the book at him. Our society puts pussy on a pedestal and as such I expect her to get the lightest punishment possible.

Now this is where dragging out cases is going to work against him.

Trump needs to STFU until next year.

Fat fuckin' chance of that happening.

Treczoks ,

Trump needs to STFU until next year.

No, he should not. You know this guy, he will produce more than enough rope to hang him if let lose.

Not a single chance of that at all.

Ofc he did. His lawyers probably threatened to quit if held it.

But it would have been funny as hell to watch multiple prosecutors use his lies against him in court.

@Riccosuave@lemmy.world avatar

Oh that is still going to happen friend, don’t you worry. He may have canceled this press conference, but there is a never ending supply of other stupid things Trump has said on video (and/or) written down to choose from.

cybersandwich ,

I wonder if they can get recent texts and emails as well. It sounds like continuation of the conspiracy.

gmtom , in FBI arrest California police officers involved in racist text messages scandal

Oh hey, we have a very similar case going on in the UK too.

JoKi , in Trump cancels news conference to release report on 2020 election

his attorneys would put his arguments in court filings instead.

Sure, they will…

IHeartBadCode ,
@IHeartBadCode@kbin.social avatar

They just said that they had no formal filings before the court until they have had a chance to review all of the evidence.

Kind of one of the reasons why they want to push the trial to 2026. So, yeah, they are totally not going to do that any time soon, if ever.

ReallyActuallyFrankenstein ,

The evidence is coming! Oh, it’s great evidence. Sure, right now we look like assholes, but that’s because you haven’t seen the evidence yet! It’s coming! Two weeks!

atzanteol ,

I’m almost certain it’s what they told him to shut him up.

Well, there is the slayer rule where you dont get inheritance if you’re found responsible for someones death
