No mass ID leak article would be complete without an ad for another online entity that requires ID submissions.

Those services feel so shady to me. You’re just paying to deanonymize your data for them. Not to mention I think some of them are straight up owned by the data brokers you’re supposedly having your data deleted from.

MyTurtleSwimsUpsideDown , in Court appears to dismiss Idaho's emergency abortion ban, leaving federal protection in place - SCOTUSblog

Conservative justices just kicking the can down the road in an election year

The document also includes a partial dissent from Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, in which she cautions that the ruling was “not a victory for pregnant patients in Idaho” but instead a “delay.” She too criticizes her colleagues, writing that the court “had a chance to bring clarity and certainty to this tragic situation, and we have squandered it.”

NotMyOldRedditName , (edited ) in Ford recalls over 550,000 pickup trucks because transmissions can suddenly downshift to 1st gear

Porsche just recalled every Taycan as well for a brake hose that can leak.

Tesla, Ford and Porshe all back to back.

Someone, university or something looked into this once, and found that something like 70% of the time recalls happen in groups like this as OEMs wait for others to announce their recalls first as they take the bigger stock /media hit. Then anyone else who had one but hadn’t announced it yet jumps in and doesn’t suffer as much.

IamAnonymous ,

Seems like it works because I haven’t seen a post about Porsche. I just learnt about it from your comment.

NotMyOldRedditName ,

Ya, that’s how it goes.

Here it is

pubsonline.informs.org/doi/abs/…/msom.2020.0937

It says on average 7.6 following recalls get announced, so we might get a few more!

USSEthernet ,

Add Honda CRV fuel pumps to that. Can cause the engine to just shut off at any time. And Honda won’t even have the parts available until the fall unless you are currently experiencing issues related to the fuel pump.

NotMyOldRedditName ,

I wonder how long they can “hold onto” a recall like this while waiting for others to announce one first.

Is it just like, oh there’s so much paperwork so we have a 6 month window, and it doesn’t even matter since the parts aren’t available until the fall anyway?

There should probably be better rules on holding info back.

AFKBRBChocolate , in Even wealthy Americans are struggling to make ends meet

Two observations:

  1. As others pointed out, there are an awful lot of people who live in places where $100-150k is not close to wealthy. A small number of large, expensive cities has a giant percentage of the population.
  2. How is anyone surprised that when inflation stays up for a while, people find it hard to maintain their standard of living. When you compare the person making $150k to the person making $100k, it doesn’t mean that they’re pocketing $50k every year, it means that they’re likely renting a more expensive place or paying on a more expensive car. They’re likely both just living within their means and, of you make everything in life cost more, both are going to have a hard time paying their bills. It’s not until you get to people who are making more than they can spend that that changes.

I think I’m better off than I would have been under the orange man administration. Honestly. Someone had to come and deal with the messes he made.

I look forward to SCOTUS ruling this was a gratuity instead of a bribe.

Snapz , in MAGA panics before Donald Trump's first debate with Biden

texas rep. Ronny Jackson is among those who have demanded that Biden take part in a drug test before and after Thursday’s debate. Jackson, who served as Trump’s White House physician and medical adviser… [said] “If President Biden needs to take performance enhancing drugs in order to participate in this week’s debate, then it is imperative that he and his physician disclose that to the American people,” Jackson said.

In that case, anything that you wanted to disclose to the American people there, Ronny? It’s always just breathless, impotent projection…

Furbag ,

Does anybody else find it a little sad that Ronny Jackson simps for Trump when Trump can’t even remember his name when talking about him? Or did he just change his name to Ronny Johnson so that the god-king doesn’t have to be wrong?

I mean, I would find it sad if I weren’t completely out of sympathy for these Trump sycophants who let Trump talk shit about them publicly so that they can cling to power a little longer. Especially the shitheels who criticized Trump and now find themselves kissing the ring and bending the knee to get that VP nom.

Snapz ,

Find it all sad, would be more sympathetic though if they weren’t literally fascist psychopaths that want to burn down the world so that nobody can directly focus on the fact that they are bald, broke, gay and their father never told them, “I love you”.

Honytawk ,

I’m okay with both participants performing a drugs test.

InternetUser2012 ,

Probably the only time I agree on a both sides argument. Hell, while we’re at it, lets drug test the house and senate too.

mrgreyeyes ,

The cartel will start lobbying, because of loosing their biggest outlet.

[trump sniff]

Sbuiko ,

projection…

Hmm, so Trump needs before and after debate drugs? Of course amphetamines would be the classical far right choice, but then there’s the whole opioid crisis thing going on… choices, choices…

DrPop , in Are you better off than you were four years ago? It can be a murky picture for many

I am better of in all categories but only part of that may be because of Biden. The federal agency I work for got a much needed budget increase which lead to my promotion. But if I was still working at Walmart I definitely wouldn’t be feeling like this. I’ve been in financial hell solve Obama though.

sunzu , in Dutch foreign ministry calls in Israeli ambassador over ICC spying claims

How pathetic are the Dutch security services if they are finding out about this from a news paper?

catloaf ,

Nobody said that they did.

sunzu ,

So the Dutch foreign ministry are bunch of limp dick losers?

IndustryStandard OP ,

The Israeli intimidation and spying on ICC investigators happened outside of the Netherlands. That is what The Guardians investigation managed to reveal.

sunzu ,

I am not sure about the relationship between ICC and the Dutch government but intelligence services in US or Israel are NOT geo restricted, in fact, most of the work is outward facing.

With that being said... Khan is a UK national. So I am also wondering about UK intelligence and security services erectile dysfunction now. Esp in light of Skripal assassination.

WTF is each of member state's security apparatus is doing with their time if they are not doing their jobs?

Russians and Israelis are fucking running through EU like they own it lol jfc

Rottcodd , in Supreme Court wipes out anti-corruption law that bars officials from taking gifts for past favors

Literally, officially, it’s now entirely legal under federal law for officials to accept and even solicit bribes for specific services rendered, just so long as they do it after, rather than before, the service is rendered.

They aren’t even pretending to be a legitimate court of law any more - they’re just a rubber-stamping service for the oligarchy.

There is no process or procedure that can undo these people. The system has failed us.

Etterra ,

Well there is, but it’s illegal and these bastards sure ain’t gonna endanger their own lives.

orcrist ,

Historically that’s not true. We have had disastrous governments and Supreme Courts in the past, and yet the country somehow survived. It’s just that they do so much damage while they’re around.

And just because things held together in the past is no guarantee that they will hold together in the future.

Rather than saying that the system has failed us, I think it’s more accurate to say that the system has been failing the vast majority of Americans for many years.

Drusas ,

just so long as they do it after, rather than before, the service is rendered.

Other way around. They can accept the bribe, but only after they have given whatever political favor they sold.

Rottcodd ,

Right. Go back and reread it - that’s what I said.

lone_faerie ,

There’s also nothing stopping them from taking a bribe for something they’ve already done if they do something else. “Hey, I’ll pay you for the books you banned if you make hrt illegal”

treadful , in Supreme Court wipes out anti-corruption law that bars officials from taking gifts for past favors
@treadful@lemmy.zip avatar

In ruling for the former mayor, the justices drew a distinction between bribery, which requires proof of an illegal deal, and a gratuity that can be a gift or a reward for a past favor. They said the officials may be charged and prosecuted for bribery, but not for taking money for past favors if there was no proof of an illicit deal.

huh?

[Ketanji Brown Jackson] said the mayor’s “absurd and atextual reading of the statute is one only today’s court could love.”

lol, GOTTEM

Prosecutors said James Snyder was heavily in debt and behind in paying his taxes when he became mayor of Portage, Ind., in 2012. The city needed new garbage trucks, and the mayor took over the required public bidding. He spoke regularly with two brothers who owned a local truck dealership that also had financial problems, and he designed the bidding process so that only their two new trucks would meet all of its standards. He also arranged to have the city buy an older truck that was on their lot.

Two weeks after the contracts were final, the mayor went to see the two brothers and told them of his financial troubles. They agreed to write him a check for $13,000 for undefined consulting services.

Seriously, how is that not outright corruption?

@kamenlady@lemmy.world avatar

And it’s even played out perfectly, all cliches and circumstances check out.

hoshikarakitaridia ,
@hoshikarakitaridia@lemmy.world avatar

So let me get this straight, it’s not bribery because they had written contracts and it was afterwards? So if I let an official make investments into my company on behalf of me and I gave him money for it, it’s only a problem if I gave him money before or I had no contract to show for it.

That is such a bonkers distinction I really wanna see how the fuck they define if the contract for the legal bribery is sufficient or not. Does it need a stamp? What the fuck

Madison420 ,

Arguably it’s networking though it bears a fun similarity to the right losing its shit over bidens son getting a job he probably didn’t deserve like every other rich kid on the planet.
