dystop , in Air Canada apologizes for booting passengers who complained that their seats were smeared with vomit

Air Canada is dispelling the decades-old reputation that Canada has for being polite…

Tb0n3 , (edited ) in Elon Musk Threatens To Sue Anti-Defamation League For X’s Lost Ad Revenue

newsweek.com/adl-has-lost-its-way-elon-musk-right…

For those down voting have you read the link? It’s literally written by an Orthodox Jew who worked as a legal intern for the ADL in the 80s.

MrBusinessMan ,

Good article. The ADL obviously broke the law by saying mean things about Elon and his company, they need to pay for that!

Tb0n3 ,

I’m simply pointing out that the ADL are not paragons. They throw their weight around for their own political purposes. Just because bad guys say things you don’t like doesn’t mean they should not be allowed to say anything.

MrBusinessMan ,

I agree, the ADL should be shut down for saying bad things about a job creator like Elon. Also, all the businesses that decided to stop buying ads on Elons site should also be shut down, it’s a blatant violation of the law for them to do that.

Tb0n3 ,

Your straw man burns brightly in effigy of things I have not said.

MrBusinessMan ,

I’m on your side, sheesh. I’m sick of this woke cancel culture nonsense where businesses stop giving money Elon just because he “platforms Nazis”. They should be forced to keep giving him money. Now he has no choice but to take down the ADL.

Tb0n3 ,

Welcome to the internet. You must be new here. Seriously WTF is your problem? Continually reading things I never said in thing I have.

MrBusinessMan ,

Sorry snowflake I thought you were for free speech?

Tb0n3 ,

Who are you arguing with? Because it obviously isn’t me.

MrBusinessMan ,

I wasn’t trying to argue with you I was trying to agree with you but you got aggressive with me for no reason.

Tb0n3 ,

If you want to run a troll account then great, whatever, but maybe actually look at what you’re responding to and gauge what you’re going to write instead of blanket assuming you know what the comment says without actually reading it first.

MrBusinessMan ,

I’m literally agreeing with you and you’re attacking me and calling me names, I insist that you stop or you’ll be hearing from my lawyers

assassin_aragorn , (edited )

Terrible article. They provide no concrete examples, only empty platitudes. And it’s clear they’re extremely biased:

“The national ADL, like the ACLU, the NAACP, and other formerly “apolitical” civil rights groups, is now merely a tax-exempt cadre of the national Democratic Party. Anyone paying any kind of attention knows this. And as the Democratic Party has moved further into the fringes of Left-wing lunacy, the ADL has moved with it—whether a Jewish “antidefamation” issue is at stake or not. The party requires it.”

He calls every group defending civil rights “actually anti free speech” and suggests the ADL doesn’t do enough for Orthodox Jews, without again any evidence, because of “assimilated Jews”. This sentiment comes up again when he says that most Jews “reciprocate” the ADL’s supposed detestation of Judaism.

He’s just another religious conservative detached from reality. It’s actually quite concerning when a lawyer makes baseless claims about an anti defamation organization. I don’t know if it meets the legal definition of defamation, but it certainly gets the common usage for it. Anyone who’s ever been represented by this guy should get another trial, because this guy seems likely to prove your role in the murder in the process of trying to prove your innocence blaming liberals and judges for your arrest.

electric_nan , in Ex-Proud Boys leader sentenced to 22 years for role in US Capitol attack

Federal informant, and still get 22 years?? Congrats on playing yourself, Ricky!

mustardman ,

That’s a long time to fester in a place where they love rats.

echodot ,

My understanding was that the informant bit didn’t really help him out because he stopped being an informant and then the January 6th riots happened.

So he’d stopped supplying them with information before he then committed treason. So it isn’t as if they just weren’t appreciative of the information supplied, the information supplied had nothing to do with why he was arrested.

electric_nan ,

Interesting. I thought that he had got himself arrested on minor charges before the 6th, to have an excuse not to be there. I assumed that was encouraged by the FBI. Sounds like he was hedging his bets, and lost it all anyway. Either way, I’m laughing at him!

pqdinfo ,

Supposedly it’s a lower sentence than the sentencing guidelines allow (according to others in this thread anyway.) So maybe it did count.

That said, Chairman of the Proud Boys? There’s a limit to what “I was cooperating with the FBI the whole time” can buy you if you’re the reason the crimes are being committed.

RinseDrizzle , in All signs point to a rise in Covid

Ripping through my group rn, myself included. This new brew seems to come up quicker, but so far more mild. Here’s hoping it goes as quick as it came. I was definitely eager to catch the new shot when it dropped but lol got the early access

guyrocket , in The GDP gap between Europe and the United States is now 80%
@guyrocket@kbin.social avatar

This article, while interesting, seems a bit sensational.

Bottom line for me as an American: Is it a good time to vacay in the Eurozone?

HobbitFoot ,

Generally, yeah. I would avoid the summer, though. Europe is not equipped for high temperatures.

Bye ,

Yes, the whole place is on sale right now. I’m going in a few weeks. Hotels are insanely cheap compared to the states. I’m staying in renovated monnestaries and castles for less than a low end chain hotel costs at home.

Airfare is fucking brutal though, so it’s almost a wash.

afraid_of_zombies ,

It really is. I did a small one this summer and the US dollar went far. Third time in Germany and had a blast. Beer is everywhere there! Imagine walking into a restaurant and getting a craft beer quality drink served to you for $1.50. I can’t get an IPA for that price even at my local liquor store.

Belgium is next on the list. I keep running into people from there telling me how underrated it is.

AnagrammadiCodeina ,

That is a SUPERDOUBT. I seriously doubt the price was that even for a shitty Heineken/becks/dreher beer. We had inflation growing almost everywhere (except Switzerland but they simply keep repeating it to themselves, hotel prices are at least 15-25% more expensive than pre-covid) Also, euro/dollar exchange rate is now the same as it was pre-covid

I’m not saying you cant find good deals but that beer price in a restaurant is unrealistic.

afraid_of_zombies ,

Don’t know what to say. This is what I paid for house beer at 2 different places in Stuttgart. I guess I got really lucky?

Treczoks , in Chinese EVs are now seen posing a ‘real threat’ to Europe’s auto industry

I disagree with the title. The worst enemy of European car manufacturers are European car manufacturers.

They spend loads of money on political bribery to “make that e-car thingy go away”, and now they are the ones behind the field.

Theharpyeagle , in Air Canada apologizes for booting passengers who complained that their seats were smeared with vomit

Okay, I consider myself pretty reasonable in the face of inconvenience, but there’s no way in hell I’d sit in a seat covered in vomit, and I’d certainly make a stink about getting another flight paid for. I know the flight crew probably didn’t have time to fully deal with the situation between flights, but the airline should have some kind of contingency for dealing with a potential biohazard situation.

bigschnitz , in America Has Reached Peak Therapy. Why Is Our Mental Health Getting Worse?

I am shocked that a market based healthcare system that prioritizes profits manages to lock people into lucrative consumer cycles where they’re conditioned to rely on medications or treatments that don’t cure them. I am shocked.

Completely unrelated, it’s very noticeable how everyone is medicated and has mental health problems since I’ve moved to the US, weirdly back in Australia where the health system is different it’s less common. What are the odds of that…

iHUNTcriminals ,

Oi cunt. Strallya!

monkey ,

As it turns out, stress actually increases if people have to trade their savings for mental health services

surewhynotlem ,

So it’s that the treatment is intentionally ineffective?

It’s not that the US is a worse place to live?

I truly hate that headline. This is a good thing.

I’m sure it triggers the victim response in a lot of people who will never visit the city; aka morons.

Agreed. I wish I just was looking to rent a furnished apartment right about now because it’s a renters market, but I’m plenty good where I’m at.

“Free speech absolutist”

ZeroCool OP ,

Oh he’s a free speech absolutist, alright! Free speech absolutely begins and ends with his personal views and those he finds agreeable.

assassin_aragorn ,

It occurs to me that I’ve never heard of an absolutist that wasn’t a hypocrite in some way. They can excuse white supremacy and Nazis, but they draw the line at either being personally attacked or held accountable.

missveeronica , in Trump may have violated copyright law by selling mugshot merchandise

Didn’t Geeen Day also sell t-shirts with his mugshot? Sounds like they broke copyright law as well, then.

RGB3x3 ,

They put “Nimrod” over his face to resemble their album, so that very likely falls under fair use as parody.

habbin ,

I believe copyright resides with the person who took the photo, not the subject.
