What does Cosby think?

601error , in Air Canada apologizes for booting passengers who complained that their seats were smeared with vomit

The flight attendant wasn’t getting paid if the doors of the plane were still open. Maybe if Air Canada paid them, they would care about vomit.

Shotgun_Alice , in Finding a vacation rental in New York City just got harder

I’ve been saying this but I’m surprised no one at Airbnb thought of this, but just start doing long-term rentals. Become a rental management company. Easier said than done, but they have the cash on hand to make it happen.

Copernican ,

I think they realize where the demand is and what their client base is, and it’s a lot of folks looking for short term stays.

Feirdro , in Disney tickets, PS5s, and big-screen TVs: Florida parents exploit DeSantis' school vouchers

We need to stop giving money to these white, Christian leeches on America’s entitlements.

@ObviouslyNotBanana@lemmy.world avatar

What an achievement. He should be a proud boy.

They were wiping the seats down themselves, such champs

randon31415 , in Person dies after 2 driverless cars block ambulance on way to hospital

“Cruise’s Origin is a purpose-built electric AV, built with no steering wheel or pedals for a human driver.”

This isn’t the AIs fault. Driver-less vehicles are meant to have passengers. If they don’t, they should not be in traffic. The passengers should have the option to turn off auto-drive and get out of the way. Having a car without a steering wheel is like making a “fully-fully automatic gun: No trigger. It just shoots what it sees as people until it is out of bullets.”

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

Not a fan of incarceration or the police state, but sometimes you just gotta vibe

phoenixz ,

He attacked the Capitol, this isn’t vibing, this is what you have to do with violent criminals

Soulg ,

He wasn’t present on the 6th because he was banned from the city for prior actions. But he was instrumental in organizing the whole thing

negativeyoda ,

I was trying to make fun of the guy.

I live in Portland. Trust me: I’m tickled pink he and a lot of his will no longer travel to my home to menace me

Some people are too dangerous to be allowed to roam freely. Rapists, murderers and insurrectionists are all examples.

negativeyoda ,

Agreed on all counts. I was making a joke that didn’t land

Fair enough.

hydrospanner , in Republican lawmakers launch an effort to block student-loan borrowers from enrolling in Biden's new plan intended to lower monthly payments

How does student loan forgiveness or payment plans cost taxpayers anything?

Burn_The_Right ,

Because conservatives said so! Now, stop acting so uppity and get back to work at one of your minimum wage jobs before supply-side Jesus gets mad again!

Astroturfed ,

What?.. Whenever these two subjects are broached they are always only talking about government loans. While all of these loans are serviced by a company, the debt is owned by/owed to the federal government. So, loan forgiveness is a direct cost to the taxpayer. Claiming otherwise is just silly.

Tb0n3 , in A Florida Jewish Community Center canceled a Jewish author’s talk because her novel mentions slavery

No other Jewish book has ever mentioned slavery, right?

spoilerExodus.

thefartographer ,

Looks like Florida chose to be the wicked son for Passover.

You should also “blunt his teeth” (speak harshly to him13) and say to him:

“It is because of this that I would fulfill His commandments, such as this Passover offering, matzah and maror14that G‑d acted for me when I left Egypt (Exodus 13:8)—for me, but not for him. If he [the wicked child] had been there, he would not have been redeemed.”

Son_of_dad ,

I thought it was mostly proven myth that any slaves or Israelites were building shit in Egypt. Also there’s zero record of any sort of Exodus or anything to corroborate the story of Moses

yata ,

You are correct, but it is still a book that often mentions slavery and which they are perfectly fine with.

thefartographer , (edited )

Yes, it might be a book of bullshit, but it’s a bullshit book we read every year and sing songs from about how we were foreigners and slaves and should be nice to foreigners and slaves. The fact that there’s even a part about “what if I question how trial and tribulation I’ve never known affects me?” And you’re supposed to essentially say, “bitch! God wouldn’t have saved you cuz you’re too much of a bitch!”

Eta: hell, there’s even a part where we’re like, “God killed the Egyptian oppressors, let’s dance and sing!” And then God, who could only speak to Moses, spoke to everyone all like, “look you ungrateful fucks! I may have made the Egyptians with my left hand while getting over a cold, but they’re my creations nonetheless! Quit celebrating and pour one out for your fallen homies.” Then we get rid of 10 drops of wine to resemble 10 drops of blood for the 10 plagues and how horrible it was that God made the Pharoh say no and then punished all the poor people for it.

On a yearly basis, multiple times per year, our parents dress us up and misinterpret the importance of all these holidays that are supposed to teach us empathy, apology, forgiveness, and patience. But fuck all that, right? Being a Jew is about… Checks notes …Banning books about actual slavery?

@snooggums@kbin.social avatar

Additional spoiler, the Holocaust.

MxM111 ,

Did not Florida forbidden some Holocaust related children book about year ago?

Tb0n3 ,

I’m…not sure that counts.

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

Jews were forced to labor for the Nazis. How was that not slavery?

Tb0n3 ,

It wasn’t a “book”. It may have had many books written on it but that wasn’t the original statement.

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

Does the Holocaust count as slavery or not?

Tb0n3 ,

That was not the point I was making so it doesn’t matter.

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

That’s quite the evasion of a yes or no question.

Tb0n3 ,

Usually you think of the extermination aspect, but yes there was some. But my point was that responding to me saying another book containing slavery with a historical event was kind of unusual. There’s been books written on it for sure by it’s mostly unrelated.

MrBusinessMan , in Elon Musk Threatens To Sue Anti-Defamation League For X’s Lost Ad Revenue

Good, it’s his right to sue them. They hurt his business after everything he’s done for them

tomatopathe ,

I think he should sue them as well, so when he loses it’s another loss for this shitburger of a human.

MrBusinessMan ,

You shouldn’t be allowed to talk so disrespectfully about Elon, hope he sues you too. You’re a danger to free speech

MrBusinessMan , in Person dies after 2 driverless cars block ambulance on way to hospital

Everybody is blaming the driverless cars but who is blaming the ambulance for putting itself in that situation? A driverless car can’t be at fault, it always does what it should. Humans are the ones who make mistakes.

zib , in Trump may have violated copyright law by selling mugshot merchandise
@zib@kbin.social avatar

At this point, I'd be more shocked if some dumbass thing he does isn't breaking a law.
