some_guy , in Conservationists Say 'Bizarre' Dead Bear Incident Proves 'Terrible' Judgment of RFK Jr.

Lying liar tells the truth about something and it’s even worse for him. Fuck this piece of shit.

svtdragon , in Lawsuits allege high levels of lead in General Mills’ Cocoa Puffs cereal

Huh. I’d have expected cobalt.

squirrelwithnut , in One and done: Michael Phelps calls for a lifetime ban for anyone who's caught doping

Not only should they get a lifetime ban, but every athlete should be tested 100% of the time. There is no reason why something as huge and prestigious as the Olympics, with the kind of money it brings in, should not be doing this.

Valmond ,

Also randomly along the year when they are training and having to tell exacty where they are at all times (so no hiding away doping & flushing them out) , as cyclists are.

Cyclism went so bad but now they’re tested really hard and often.

homesweethomeMrL , in Frontier Airlines pilot arrested at Houston airport, forcing flight's cancellation

I just wanna say the woman on the left’s expression is 100% accurate.

El_guapazo , in Trump says he has 'no choice' but to support electric vehicles because Elon Musk 'endorsed me very strongly'

Nice cheap words. Nothing enforceable. Just like a car salesman. Look at the contract. Project 2025 to know what the real plan is

nifty , in Anti-trans Texas pastor arrested after paying undercover cop for sex

Sadly, consenting adults who avail and provide prostitution are unnecessarily criminalized. He’s a gross hypocrite, but he’s not gross for wanting sex. He’s also not gross for trying to pay for sex with (what he thought) was a consenting adult. Religions need to do away with celibacy stuff, it’s all nonsense anyways

UnderpantsWeevil , in Anti-trans Texas pastor arrested after paying undercover cop for sex
@UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world avatar

Listen, this is all very funny and cool. However, does anyone find it weird to think that our tax dollars are paying a police officer to dress up in lingerie and post ads for sex on the internet in hopes of luring people in for arrest?

Wouldn’t this money be better spent providing housing, food, and social support to women actually in the business of selling themselves?

jjjalljs ,

Yeah but conservatives are whiney morons and somehow still have a lot of political power.

WindyRebel , (edited )

Depends. Does it actually protect kids on the internet from potential rapes or muggings? If so, then I’d love to see the cost to apprehend vs statistical decreases for these particular instances. If it’s helpful and cost for safety is right then I’m for it.

However, I bet it isn’t.

homesnatch ,

paying a police officer to dress up in lingerie

Is it weird that I’m picturing Officer Wiggum from the Simpsons?

APassenger ,

He’s the sort that demands this be a crime.

Feels like karma in a few ways.

Chespirito , in Trump says he has 'no choice' but to support electric vehicles because Elon Musk 'endorsed me very strongly'

Trump going back on his word? Well color me surprised

M0oP0o , in Prosecutors plan to charge former Kansas police chief over his conduct following newspaper raid
@M0oP0o@mander.xyz avatar

This is weird. Why are they stating this and not just file the charges?

They are what? Warning the former chief? Trying to judge if how much people still care?

Pacattack57 , in North Dakota voters will decide whether to abolish property taxes

I think everyone is ok with property taxes. What homeowners hate is increasing property tax. It should be a flat rate for everyone that doesn’t increase with the exception being on non residential properties.

capital ,

Ok, I’ll bite.

How is a state meant to keep up with inflation if property taxes don’t increase to compensate?

And do you mean to say that property taxes on a mansion situated on several acres should incur the same flat rate as a 1000 square foot home on a quarter acre?

Upsidedownturtle , in Frontier Airlines pilot arrested at Houston airport, forcing flight's cancellation

Unfortunate for the passengers that they couldn’t arrest him in Dallas, or wait for the return flight to Houston and pick him up after.

some_guy ,

Who wants to do that drive just to avoid inconveniencing people? I wouldn’t and cops sure as shit don’t care.

lennybird , in U.S. official: Biden realized Netanyahu lied to him about hostage deal
@lennybird@lemmy.world avatar

So sick of my tax dollars going to these ungrateful fucks who dishonor their ancestors by partaking in exactly what they themselves went through.

El_guapazo , in Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Admits He Left a Dead Bear in Central Park

The brain worms gave him some bad advice.

tourist , in One and done: Michael Phelps calls for a lifetime ban for anyone who's caught doping
@tourist@lemmy.world avatar

What was that videogame, where if they caught you hacking, they wouldn’t ban you, they’d just put you in lobbies with other hackers?

Imagine having an olympics where all the caught dopers compete against each other.

But they’d probably, like, die or some shit. I’ll have to rethink this when I’m in my morning zone.

Northern Lights is a great strain yall

BallsandBayonets ,

If they over-dope to compete in the dopers olympics and die as a result, that’s not any different than driving without a seatbelt or motorcycling without a helmet and dying as a result. If you don’t want to risk death you can just not be stupid.

Chee_Koala ,

True, I think a doping league is something we could try. We just have a year or 2 of ONLY doping league, then open the clean league and have 100 % controls. But not all doping is testable, currently…

TexasDrunk ,

I don’t care about the Olympics themselves (I think they’re important, I am just not personally interested in catching more than highlights), but I would watch the shit out of the Dope Olympics. Dude on steroids and cocaine throwing a javelin ten miles? I’d pay to watch that.

Of course I’d also watch the Pitch-O-Mat 5000 fire balls at Wireless Joe Jackson, so I’m not anyone’s target audience except possibly Futurama’s from 20-odd years ago.

That was GTA4

I like the idea of Dopelympics. Let everyone participating be fully aware they’re in for the time of their (very short) lives

index ,

Everyone who competes at these level is already doped

Deconceptualist ,

It’s already been legal to possess and smoke and grow your own since shortly after the November ballot passed. This is just the commercial licensing side finally launching.
