joshuaacasey , in Ohio teen dubbed 'hell on wheels' after killing her boyfriend and his friend in a crash is sentenced to 15 years to life
@joshuaacasey@lemmy.world avatar

(Just a quick disclaimer. I am vehemently opposed to prison and think we would be better off getting rid of it and actually helping people.)

It never ceases to baffle me the amount of gender-based double standards or shitty sexist society has. If a guy did this we would get a life sentence (likely without parole). And a death sentence in a death penalty state. But, because the person that did this is female, she doesn’t get a life sentence or death penalty, she gets the luxury of getting to walk out of prison after a time of serving a sentence (just to be clear. I don’t think any prison time is ever justified or ethical. But that’s not the point. The point is to call out our misandrist society. I hope one day Equality might actually be a thing, thought it will likely be long after my lifetime.

narrowide96lochkreis ,

You need to make up your mind Josh. No prison for anyone or “same” prison sentences for everyone, which is it? Else your comment looks just like bait. Totally against prison, lol

charles , in FDA Approves Vaccine for Pregnant Individuals to Prevent RSV in Infants

This is amazing news. RSV is so serious in infants, but they relied on safety from those around them who “just have the sniffles”.

Hazdaz , in The US approves Revolution Wind, its fourth major offshore wind farm

While this is indeed good, we shouldn’t be blindly focusing on off shore wind farms. In-land wind farms are very important as well and tend to be considerably cheaper.

Snowyday ,

The US has been doing this too. For example, I recently drove through West Virginia and was surprised at how much wind power they had

Hazdaz ,

I’m not saying we aren’t doing on shore, but all the press and all the hoopla is about off shore.

reddig33 , in Maui Water Is Unsafe Even With Filters, One of the Lessons Learned From Fires in California

This has me wondering how well a modern desalination plant would handle an event like this.

TheBlue22 , in Lucy Letby will die in prison after receiving 14 whole-life sentences

Hopefully she will get killed in prison in the most painful way possible

lntl , in Putin’s War Against Ukraine Is Slaughtering Dolphins in the Black Sea

This article is a bit of a reach. Hats off to the author for giving it a shot.

Kaliax , in 3D eye scans at opticians could identify those at risk of Parkinson’s, study finds

What is a “high street” optician… ?

partial_accumen ,

“High Street” is the British phrasing of “main street” meaning, “regular old optician you go to for glasses”.

Kaliax ,

Thank you.

Foggyfroggy , in Wage demands hit record high: Average job seeker wants at least $78k

That’s awesome average jobs are paying 78k! Pretty sure employees don’t demand anything.

Zorque ,

Average job seekers want 78k, that doesn't mean the average job is 78k.

Foggyfroggy ,

But then that stat is meaningless. I want a million dollars. Who cares? But if employees are moving to new companies for 78k, then I would report “employees want 78k for a new job”. It wouldn’t makes sense to report that “employers don’t want to pay 78k” because they never want to pay anything.

This is worded to make labor seem unreasonable on purpose.

Zorque ,

What article are you reading? I'm not seeing anything about "employers refuse to pay 78k", only that offers are less than that (and still significantly more than what they were this time last year). The article seems to put more stock in the marked difference in demands and offers between women and men.

iHUNTcriminals , in Major milestone in quest to create massive pro-Yes human chain across Scotland

Would be cool if they did the human centipede thing.

eran_morad , in San Francisco Archdiocese files for bankruptcy as it faces more than 500 sexual abuse lawsuits

Feck ‘em.

CADmonkey , in Record-setting U.S. heat dome places 143 million under alerts

Looking at the weather for today, it’s supposed to be 103° F (that’s 39°C) and 50% humidity. We aren’t OK here in OK.
