XbSuper , in Influencer Andrew Tate released from house arrest while he awaits human trafficking and rape trial

I was happy forgetting he exists. Can we just do that?

foggy ,

Once he’s locked away I’m game.

And aid prefer to only hear that he’s been locked up; nothing else until that happens or fails to happen.

SilentSeven , in Montana otter attack leaves 3 women hurt, including one flown to the hospital

It’s Chucky!!

Hyggyldy , in 'We are not imperial': Justice Kagan says Supreme Court still subject to checks and balances

Her comment doesn’t sound very certain. “It just can’t be” sounds the same as “I’m sure there’s something they can do”. She doesn’t actually know and is unwilling to give any examples.

Did you consider reading more than the headline blurb in the post?

The liberal justice declined to say much more about a bill that advanced out of the Democrat-led Senate Judiciary Committee at the end of July – meant to force the Supreme Court to adopt a stronger ethics policy – for fear legal challenges surrounding the issues could someday land before the court.

kitonthenet ,

You want the Supreme Court to prescribe the form of regulation congress can have on it?

SheeEttin , in Amazon rainforest: Deforestation in Brazil at six-year low

Deforestation rates. It’s still happening, just slower.

The woes of progress

Yup. Great news, your cancer isn’t spreading as quickly as it was last time we checked! Now you may have 6 months to live instead of 3.

IHeartBadCode , in Texas man ticketed for feeding the homeless outside Houston library is found not guilty

Jury nullification, the people see this law and know it is 100% ignorant.

Coreidan ,

Ignorance implies the law writers didn’t know better.

This isn’t ignorance. It’s hatred.

CoderKat ,

Yes. But the fact that the law even exists, that the guy got charged, and that the charges didn’t get dismissed before this point is extremely concerning. There were multiple points of failure before we even got to this point.

Lawmakers never should have created such a shitty law. Police never had to issue tickets. Prosecutors never had to charge him. The judge could have dismissed the charges as utterly ridiculous. But no, all went through and we had to depend a jury to stop this bullshit.

Also, the article has the quote:

The city of Houston said it will continue to “vigorously pursue violations of its ordinance relating to feeding of the homeless,” according to a statement released to news outlets.

So despite all of this, the city of Houston is determined to still be evil little fucks. People tell me Houston is supposed to be progressive, but I’m not seeing it. Houston folks, what the hell?

fresh , in Gay Louisiana doctor says he’s leaving the state over its ‘discriminatory’ legislation

All the best run states, with the highest education, best health, lowest crime, highest wages and strongest economies, are progressive. Inclusivity and taking care of the disadvantaged isn’t just a moral good. It makes us all better off when we give everyone a fair chance. This doctor is one example.

New Orleans used to be the 3rd largest city in the US and the 4th busiest port in the world. There’s no reason that Louisiana couldn’t have been as rich and prosperous as California or New York. But years of conservative policies make you poor.

Osirus , in 'We are not imperial': Justice Kagan says Supreme Court still subject to checks and balances

The fact that most of them don’t want this done, is exactly why it needs to be done.

I’d say it a pretty strong indicator that they shouldn’t have the job they have.

Sooperstition , in Gay Louisiana doctor says he’s leaving the state over its ‘discriminatory’ legislation

It’s really damn sad that we’re at this place. It’s sad for everyone involved. His patients lose a great provider, and his family has to leave the place they know and love. I know it’s nothing new, but it pains me to see LGBT people be driven out of the places they want to live.

We are everywhere. We always have been, and we always will be, no matter what the homo- and transphobes think. The enemy wants us to push us around at their whims, but they don’t want to acknowledge that we deserve happiness and safety wherever we are.

“Did you just call my momma a whore?” - justified beating.

I don’t live in the US, so it’s not US-only. Couldn’t tell you why your country can’t access it.

Oisteink ,

Probably as they want to track people without consent, and that’s not allowed where I live.

raef ,

It’s always small, local news sites that just block EU traffic because the GDPR is so vague and broad they don’t want to spend the resources to ensure compliance.

Sites have violated GDPR by simply using the wrong fonts

Oisteink ,

Sure. This is probably why there’s no local news sites in EU. All the small ones had to close when GDPR came into action

LaKris ,

Sarcasm, right?

Oisteink ,

Probably… Or perhaps there is no small sites in EU anymore as they’d get closed because of wrong font. Or maybe that part was made up and small networked news channels like to track what you read. It’s really hard to tell sometimes when there’s so many credible reasons for blocking just the countries that disallows tracking without consent.

LaKris ,

Money. It cost money and takes time to follow gdpr, so obviously small sites outside of eu won’t do it. But I haven’t seen any site inside the eu that had to close because of gdpr, at least in my country.

raef ,

I was just using fonts as an example that it is easy to accidentally violate the GDPR. Small sites outside the EU will just decide it’s not worth the hassle. Most of the time, people in the EU won’t have any interest in viewing local news content, so it doesn’t matter anyway

Regna ,
@Regna@lemmy.world avatar

Yes, sarcasm. There are plenty of smaller news sites, but (at least in Sweden) many are struggling due to lack of paid subscribers or ad revenue, not due to explaining whether they have tracking or third party cookies.

EatMyDick ,

Oh right, cause the coders and lawyers are free 🤦‍♂️

Turns out the most expensive part of a business and one of those pesky facts on your trip to profitability is to shell out hundreds of thousands of dollars a years on supporting compliance. Who knew!!?!

Blamemeta ,

More like “EU countries are a tiny audience of our specific site, we are not spending the resources on it. Just block EU ip addresses and move on”

NuPNuA ,

Probably because they’re in the EU and some American websites just cut us off entirely rather than deal with GDPR issues.

it must be really f'in weird to be on the supreme court, like, "oh my esteemed colleague who watches Long Dong Silver and takes obvious bribes constantly and I'm uh, we could like uh... make policy that helps people..."

xc2215x , in Texas man ticketed for feeding the homeless outside Houston library is found not guilty

Good. The right decision.

Motavader , in Montana otter attack leaves 3 women hurt, including one flown to the hospital

They really otter leave them alone…

BradleyUffner , in 16-year-old Chick-Fil-A worker sent home over ‘unnatural’ hair color

The Chick-fil-A near me has people with pink and blue hair, but they are both white, so no one’s complaining.
