Rezbit , in Toyota acknowledges more certification cheating and apologizes
@Rezbit@lemmy.world avatar

Production of the Corolla Fielder, Corolla Axio and Yaris Cross, all small models for the Japanese market, has been suspended since June 3. It is scheduled to resume in September once the transport ministry confirms they comply with standards.

Nice, at least there is some opportunity cost since the last time.

But no mention of a fine of any size. The listed models have no safety issues according to the investigations that took place - by the company making and selling the product.

What the actual fuck.

I don’t understand why people seem to hate this bot. I’ve seen commenters saying MBFC itself is biased but without actually providing any sources which is sort of ironic, and one bright spark vowed to downvote it every time because “they’re begging for donations”

AmidFuror ,

There are people here with a wide range of opinions held very strongly. So of course the bot is going to be a blessing to some and nefarious and evil to others. Apparently like the leader of Hamas.

Aurenkin , (edited )

I’m not a fan of the format personally. It looks like crap on my client and takes up half the screen when the relevant information only really needs a line or two. I think the information is useful but I’m still on the fence about blocking it because it’s quite the eyesore.

EDIT: This is what it looks like for reference

I mean how do you even source a claim like that? That said, MBFC messes up a lot. I mean how the hell is NYT left wing?

finley ,

If you actually go to the site, it explains its reasoning

Also, it doesn’t say NYT, it’s “The Washington Post”, and it’s not “left-wing”, it says “left-center”

NoneOfUrBusiness ,

Which disagrees with objective reality.

Also, it doesn’t say NYT, it’s “The Washington Post”, and it’s not “left-wing”, it says “left-center”

I was giving an example.

finley ,

Which disagrees with objective reality.

You’re free to provide evidence and make a counter argument to support this accusation.

I was giving an example.

An example of you lying, or an example of the fact you can’t read? An example of what, exactly, since the New York Times is also rated as “Left-Center”, and “left-wing” isn’t even a rating that MBFC uses?

Please clarify

NoneOfUrBusiness , (edited )

Again, left-center is included under the general classification "left wing", which NYT is absolutely not. Are you being willfully obtuse?

finley ,

No. It’s just that I can read. And your opinions have little to do with objective reality.

Even giving examples of this supposed bias would be better than essentially just going “they’re biased trust me bro”

@Deceptichum@quokk.au avatar

You can view the examples of bias in the stickied mega thread.

If you haven’t seen it, it’s because you haven’t tried to look.

It very clearly has a Zionist bend, and will actively downgrade the rating for news sources critical of Israel.

TheFonz ,

I’m so tired of this bot. It’s like the biggest wall of text

Apollo42 ,

Tired enough to spend more time complaining about it than it would have taken to block it?

TheFonz ,

I want others to see my comment, before lemmy gets flooded with bots (just like reddit already is) flooding my screen with walls of text. Is that so horrible to give some feedback? Are your feelings hurt? HOLY FUCK.

Apollo42 ,

I think you are unreasonably upset, have fun with that.

TheFonz ,

No, I’m tired of your ilk that can’t seem to contend with any negative feedback.

My comment was extremely benign.

I also provided an explanation for why I went with the comment instead of blocking the bot.

If it hurts your feelings every time someone expresses the least amount of indignation at anything then I can’t help you. Sorry it made you upset.

MrSebSin , (edited ) in McDonald’s earnings, revenue miss estimates as consumer pullback worsens

McDonald’s is just a joke at this point. Pretty much stopped getting food from them except for breakfast once in a while, but even stopped that. My usual is a Sausage and Egg McMuffin with extra cheese. It costs a whopping $6.08 in my area.

I said🖕you greedy McCunts, I’m making my own and found a copycat recipe that is really, really good and I honestly can’t tell the difference. I bought ingredients to make 12 sandwiches at $1.73 each and even had two extra patties leftover. A savings of $4.35 per!

Of course we are not including my labor costs, yada yada, but it proves the point. Not to mention McDonald’s pays pennies on the dollar buying in bulk, so even with labor, they are making a killing.

Why are liberals being so negative about Kamala’s progress? I get that we need people to not be complacent and go vote. But feeling like it’s hopeless is just as good as getting people to stay at home. We need to celebrate the support if we want to keep it, you know.

My mother used to—she would give us a hard time sometimes, and she would say to us, “I don’t know what’s wrong with you young people. You think you just fell out of a coconut tree?” (Laughs.) You exist in the context of all in which you live and what came before you.

Trubble ,
@Trubble@startrek.website avatar

Right? It didn’t help me! Growing old, then having dementia or alzheimer’s but still alive and thinking I’m thinking, has already been a fear of mine. Especially always knowing I would never have kids, thus no chance of anyone to be around to help, besides strangers. And, probably at whatever gov. med. level of care, as I cannot ever seem to make any real progress in bettering our financial situation. But, I’d rather be aware of it than ignorant to it.

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

You shouldn’t rely on your adult kids to help you either. If they can, it’s great. But they have their own lives and jobs and possibly kids themselves. I don’t think you should expect them to help you. It’s nice if they can, but I will tell my daughter if I need someone to care for me that I do not want her to feel any obligation to do it herself. If I have to end up in a state nursing home, so be it. Life can suck.

Trubble ,
@Trubble@startrek.website avatar

Oh absolutely! That thought tag may be a hangover from everyone giving me reasons I “must” have kids, or I “will change my mind” about having kids “wait till you find the right guy”. It seemed to break people’s minds that a midwest small-town girl wouldn’t want kids (same good christian folks who were also terrified I might have sex and get knocked up). It always appalled me when the conversation would take that “who’s gonna take care of you when your old” turn. I have a good relationship with my folks now, I hope I can care for them to the best of my ability as they are getting up there. May not have always felt about them that way though, took some work. I can’t hardly tale care of myself still though, and it worries me how much I Will be able to do, financially, time, etc. So yeah, came to terms with the idea of me being in a state home in general. But, having dementia or alzheimer’s in that situation, to me, is terrifying. Being 100% at the whim of a stranger and unable to express any real needs or thoughts. I love to read, puzzle, learn and play games, learn new shit in general, recognize actors by voice in under a 30 secs
 y’know brain stuff, lol. Just knowing it would be gone is sad and scary.

MagicShel ,

I’m not going into a home. I’d rather my kids give me a handgun for Christmas if they are convinced I can’t care for myself any more.

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

That seems a bit rash. Do you believe in an afterlife? I don’t.

MagicShel ,

Nope. But I’ve seen my great grandparents and grandparents go through it. Just fucking laying around watching price is right between naps and pills. Fuck all that. It’s not living.

I’m not afraid of death. I am afraid to live like that.

I guess we have different outlooks here. I have an extremely shitty life in terms of my health. I haven’t eaten solid food in almost a year and I have something colloquially known as the suicide disease.

I’d still rather exist than not exist.

another , in Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh killed in Iran, sparking fears of wider war

I was under the impression that a Hamas leader wouldn’t look so rich and healthy, surrounded by Iranian lawmakers.

I was expecting more of a “Rebel” look.

givesomefucks ,

I was expecting more of a “Rebel” look.

Why?

Israel not only let suitcases full of money get to Hamas across the border, they outright solicited donations to Hamas from other countries.

Obviously the people running Hamas are going to be corrupt and taking a huge slice of that money.

Hell, the only reason Hamas is “in control” of Gaza is Israel refuses to let Gaza hold a new election. The whole situation is just so Israel has an excuse to act like this.

Just like the reason Israel took so long to take this guy out, probably has more to do with Joe Biden stepping down than anything else. Bibi just came back from DC, and he probably realizes the clock is running down on unconditional support. So we’re going to see them focus more on actual military targets for the next few months, then a ceasefire while Biden is in office.

another ,

So you’re suggesting Hamas is in on it?

givesomefucks ,

I’m suggesting that the reason Hamas has any measure of control or authority is because Israel refuses to let Gaza vote them out, so they can say Hamas is a valid reason to persecute everyone in Gaza.

But Israel smuggling money for Hamas, and preventing an election so Hamas could be kicked out of power are facts

What’s your suggestion for why Israel would do those two things?

Why do they try so hard to keep Hamas in power?

    You don’t have to be rude, it’s just a question

    MrMakabar ,

    There are too many connections as to believe that this is just passive support. Hamas knows it gets support from Israel and both sites benefit from it. Hamas itself is a deeply corrupt and downright evil organization, which is hated in Gaza for torture, rape and destroying public services. They need the big enemy Israel to justify them being in charge.

    Israel or better Netanyahu and his fellow fascists need Hamas to stop peace talks with the Palastinians. If there is a genuine peace in the region, he would almost certainly loose elections. Kind of a similar situation to Hamas really.

    Doorbook ,

    Suggesting that hamas is corrupt and their goal is to steal money doesnt make sense. Their leaders in and out of gaza has been being targeted all the time. If you want to get rich you could easily go to west bank and live happily with LPO who are the actual thieves.

    givesomefucks ,

    Their leaders in and out of gaza has been being targeted all the time.

    Just like a criminal organization can have middle management get arrested because the top guy gives them up.

    Cuttlefish1111 OP , in Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh killed in Iran, sparking fears of wider war

    Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh was killed early Wednesday in central Tehran, an apparent assassination that Iran and Hamas blamed on Israel and pledged to avenge. The killing, following a strike in Lebanon that Israel said killed a senior Hezbollah military commander, threatened to plunge the unstable region further into chaos and raised fresh doubts about Gaza cease-fire talks underway in Rome.
