MicroWave OP , in In Utah and Kansas, state courts flex power over new laws regulating abortion post-Roe
@MicroWave@lemmy.world avatar

“State courts are incredibly important in this moment when patients are having difficulty accessing abortion because many states have banned it entirely so patients are traveling hundreds or even thousands of miles,” Alice Wang, a Center for Reproductive Rights attorney, told reporters after arguing providers’ case in a courtroom in the Kansas City area.

OldWoodFrame , in Over half of US student loan borrowers racked up credit card debt during the payment pause—now experts worry about 'shock'

If you actually click through the links, it’s 53% have “added a credit product” where that credit product is a bank credit card. Says nothing about their debt increasing.

So, 53% of a bunch of 20-somethings opened at least one credit card in a 3 year span when almost all commerce went online and the retail stores that remained stopped accepting cash.

Maybe there’s concerning data out there but this isn’t it.

Although, the study showed that the biggest loan payments were actually for Gen X and up.

Gotta save up all that latte and avocado toast money for my aspirational mortgage payment

0110010001100010 ,

Yeah I struggled to find anything in the article or linked citations that debt was added, only cards. There was a bit about mortgages and loans but I don't know how that compares to normal YOY to know if it really means anything.

afraid_of_zombies ,

A very telling omission.

arquebus_x ,

It’s not just 20-somethings. I’m 50 and still have $53k in student loan debt.

The bottom of that “study” is all you need to know about that study:

To better understand how a student loan payment shock may impact a consumer wallet, lenders can leverage TruVision Premium Student Loan Attributes, TruVision Trended Usage Payment Ratio Algorithms and TruVision Trended Liquidity Algorithms.

All that shit was basically just an ad to sell products to financial analysts. CNBC took the bait and advertised the products for them.

Zombiepirate , in Hillsborough schools cut back on Shakespeare, citing new Florida rules
@Zombiepirate@lemmy.world avatar

Here’s an excerpt from They Thought They Were Free: The Germans, 1933-45, an analysis of the causes and destructive path of Fascism before and during WWII. A high school teacher who joined the party to cover for his anti-Nazi past is talking about which Shakespeare plays he could teach:

“Tell me, Herr Hildebrandt, what about Julius Caesar?”

He smiled very, very wryly. “Julius Caesar? No… no.”

“Was it forbidden?”

“Not that I remember. But that is not the way it was. Everything was not regulated specifically, ever. It was not like that at all. Choices were left to the teacher’s discretion, within the ‘German spirit.’ That was all that was necessary; the teacher had only to be discreet. If he himself wondered at all whether anyone would object to a given book, he would be wise not to use it.

This was a much more powerful form of intimidation, you see, than any fixed list of acceptable or unacceptable writings. The way it was done was, from the point of view of the regime, remarkably clever and effective. The teacher had to make the choices and risk the consequences; this made him all the more cautious.”

MicroWave OP , in Supreme Court reinstates regulation of ghost guns, firearms without serial numbers
@MicroWave@lemmy.world avatar

The court on Tuesday voted 5-4 to put on hold a ruling from a federal judge in Texas that invalidated the Biden administration’s regulation of ghost gun kits. The regulation will be in effect while the administration appeals the ruling to the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans — and potentially the Supreme Court.

Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Amy Coney Barrett joined with the court’s three liberal members to form the majority. Justices Samuel Alito, Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh and Clarence Thomas would have kept the regulation on hold during the appeals process. Neither side provided an explanation.

FlyingSquid , in Tampa mayor finds big catch off Florida Keys: 70 pounds of cocaine
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

The mayor made sure to turn the 65 pounds of cocaine over to the district attorney. The DA got the 58 pounds of cocaine to the Tampa police. The Tampa police made sure the 41 pounds of cocaine made it to the DEA, and the DEA publicized the discovery and seizure of the 33 pounds of cocaine.

Kandorr , in Neighbors say a Chicago man charged with killing an 8-year-old girl was upset over noise

She shoulda had a gun on her

QuincyPeck ,

The American way.

intensely_human ,

Like all places we want to protect against gun violence, the only way to prevent it would be robotic turrets that immediately disable/kill anyone who points the barrel of a gun toward another person.

Literally the only way to make a place guaranteed to be free of shootings.

girsaysdoom ,

Or just have less guns available for those that are mentally unstable.

Kecessa ,

Or just no guns available for anyone

Just saying

bstix ,

Or just not having available bullets.

Kecessa ,

Oh that would be funny!

Draedron ,

Or dont have guns anywhere

MasterObee , in Over half of US student loan borrowers racked up credit card debt during the payment pause—now experts worry about 'shock'

You’re telling me that instead of taking their excess cash from interest payment freezes and paying the principal of the loans, people spent it and spent even more and are still going to complain how they have student loans?

Astroturfed ,

GQP anger so strong

MasterObee ,

Me thinking people should pay off loans they’ve taken out makes me a qanoner? I bought a car that had a loan…I paid it off.

That’s how it works.

You calling anyone who doesn’t blindly trust broad loan forgiveness just continues the divide in our country. Why do you just try to insult people that have different opinions than you?

lily , (edited )

No, you jumping to stupid conclusions based on a clickbait headline might though.

If you actually read the article, the data they’re quoting says nothing about debt increasing, only that the number of people in that age range with credit cards increased in the few years around when the loan payment pause. You know why that might have happened? Maybe because around the same time covid was happening and everything moved online and needed a card instead of using cash?

FuglyDuck ,
@FuglyDuck@lemmy.world avatar

Not to mention the number of people that were living paycheck to paycheck at the time they … lost those paychecks.

This guy would insist on people going hungry instead of having a drop of empathy

kebabslob ,

Why do you just try to insult people?

MasterObee ,

I said people should have paid off their loans when interest was being frozen.

That’s an insult?

Astroturfed ,

The immediate jump to insulting people and sarcasm tells on yourself so hard. Nobody can have any help because it doesn’t help you. So angry for no reason.

Damn, if you check out some Right Wing videos on YouTube they’ll tell you all about how the movie failed financially and how it was a massive flop.

@Stopkilling0@kbin.social avatar

I put off watching the critical drinkers video on it until I went to go see it myself. Actually enjoyed the movie quite a bit, was able to understand the hyper feminist tones were obviously very intentionally ironic. Then you go watch this guy's review and its all lost on him.

Sometimes he’s right, sometimes he’s wrong. But he’s obnoxious about it either way.

orangebussycat ,

That’s fair

WarmSoda ,

I thought he was funny when I first saw a couple of his videos like a year or two ago. Probably because the videos were about really bad movies.

And then I realized if a movie had a female main character in it (gasp!) most of the “review” was going to be him shitting on her using whatever big words he looked up. Doesn’t matter if the movie itself was good or bad. Women bad!

Saneless ,

I love the old ass show Sledgehammer for the main character being a chauvinist and condescending ass to women but it’s very satirical and making fun of that whole attitude. And that was in the 80s

applejacks ,

Who is saying this?

hauntology ,

They aren’t saying it anymore because they are obviously wrong (as always) but dumbfucks like Ben Shapiro predicted early on it would totally fail.

“[Barbie is] absolutely going to fall off a cliff [at the box office],” Shapiro said of Barbie’s post-opening weekend prospects. “Repeat business is going to be nonexistent.”

Well, that works for their audience because, spoiler, the “did my own research” crowd never goes beyond the blowhard source

PrincessLeiasCat , in Students banned from using nicknames under new anti-trans Florida schools guidance

Under the guidance, published Monday (7 August), teachers at schools in Orange County must use pronouns and titles that correspond to their “biological sex” at birth, and parents must fill out a form to let teachers know of any deviation from their child’s legal name, even if this is a simple nickname.

So if the governor of Florida was subjected to this “guidance”, he would need permission to go by Ron.
