TheMusicalFruit , in Drinking water of millions of Americans contaminated with ‘forever chemicals’

Most of these comments are people recommending bottled water or various filtration methods, both of which could work in varying degrees. Let’s not miss the point that people who will be most impacted are low income and might struggle to pay their tap water bill. Bottled water and filters are a stretch for those folks. The true fix is demanding more of our politicians to hold polluters accountable and push for better treatment of the tap water.

Hawk ,

Aren’t people paying taxes?

No idea why people would rather spend more money than to hold the government accountable to fix the services they pay for.

grue ,

Conservative “government is the problem” brain rot is extremely pervasive.

cosmicrookie , in Judge Rules HP Must Face Class Action Lawsuit Over Disabled Printers
@cosmicrookie@lemmy.world avatar

Haven’t bought a HP since their support told me to just buy a new printer and that the warning message wasn’t going away even though they could not confirm anything was wrong with it

Pavidus , in Judge Rules HP Must Face Class Action Lawsuit Over Disabled Printers

I noped out of printers a long time ago. Staples prints whatever I need on the cheap, compared to ink cartridges.

JimmyDean ,

Nowadays I just use the library whenever I need to print something. Most charge like 10 cents per page but some will let you print for free.

TropicalDingdong , in Hurricane Hilary on path toward Southern California

This might make for a great spring in the Anza borrego. Might even be worth a trip.

TheProtagonist , in Taliban official says women lose value if their faces are visible to men in public

Sounds like if they would get less cows for them when selling them on a market, after their face was revealed.

Snapz , in Target says backlash against LGBTQ+ Pride merchandise hurt sales

All of these companies half ass and they simultaneously put off the bigots, the allies and the targeted communities in the middle.

Had target just planted it’s pride flag and held to it, headline is, “Hateful bigots who would have gone to target drove 5 more minutes to get to Wal-Mart this month”.

But jittery like bud light, they started to backpedal for profit midway through and pissed off everyone else.

Taliban really do view women as property, not human.

Buelldozer , in Looming auto workers strike could cost $5 billion in just 10 days, new analysis says
@Buelldozer@lemmy.today avatar

Seriously, I’m a Capitalist (and a Classical Liberal) but why do these articles always talk about how much a labor action is going to cost a company but they never talk about how much the ongoing actions of the company have cost labor?

some_guy ,

That would defeat the purpose of stoking fear.

Ensign_Crab ,

Because then anyone who criticizes how workers get hosed can be met with “YOU JUST WANT TO COLLAPSE THE HOLY ECONOMY!!!”

NewsAutoMod , in Why was there no water to fight the fire in Maui?

Hazdaz , in Sweden raises its terror threat level to high for fear of attacks following recent Qur'an burnings

How about stop letting certain groups have special treatment?

There is zero justification for going into some raging fit if someone burns a book. Yet all these left leaning European countries have tried to turn a blind eye or downplay every time one of these groups have assaulted or threatened someone.

Assimilate to a modern, 1st world culture, or go back to the stone age bullshit where you came from. You left whatever hellhole you came from because those countries are backwards-thinking conservative theocracies. Don’t you dare come to these western countries and try to impose your backwards thinking onto the native folks already there. You Assimilate to their culture, they aren’t going to walk on eggshells to appease your archaic religious nonsense. Fuck religion.

baru ,

Yet all these left leaning European countries have tried to turn a blind eye or downplay every time one of these groups have assaulted or threatened someone.

Which countries do you mean? And could you explain how they ignored people assaulting other people?

I fail to see why this is a thing, or why you mention it’s somehow a “left” thing.

The reason it’s more significant now is that Turkey is using the book burning as an excuse to withhold approving NATO membership. After that it became news, before that it wasn’t news. Meaning, no need to make up stuff about you making up things about “left leaning”.

afraid_of_zombies ,

Fuck Turkey they are the worst the NATO member and fight with the rest of them

Hazdaz ,

There has been a massive influx of Muslims into Europe over the last decade or so due to troubles in the Middle East. The Left has naively been welcoming them en masse not realizing that so many of these people have zero interest in assimilating into these new countries and instead want to bring with them the extremist conservative values they had back home. This has been happening all across Europe from Germany to the UK to France to Sweden. These people have been known to try pushing their ass backwards views on locals and the locals not really being able to do anything about it.

Iceblade02 ,

Sweden and Denmark for sure, maybe also Germany, UK & France.

women should have power, not value

ShunkW ,

It’s ok for people to have value, but that value shouldn’t only be their appearance. And men have value too. This guy has negative value to the world.

irmoz ,

Depends what you mean by value… the Taliban isn’t talking about personal virtue, they’re talking about women as products.

Pacifism is objectively pro-fascist. This is elementary common sense. If you hamper the war effort of one side, you automatically help out that of the other. Nor is there any real way of remaining outside such a war as the present one. In practice, ‘he that is not with me is against me’.

The Taliban is what happens when you let incels govern

buckykat ,

The Taliban is what happens when the US government funds and arms a right wing religious militia

utopianfiat ,

It’s not accurate to conflate the Mujahideen and the Taliban. In fact, the Taliban is in open conflict with a lot of former Mujahideen.

@Late2TheParty@lemmy.world avatar

The Taliban predates US government intervention. Kindly STFU.

The Taliban came to power after the Russian invasion of Afghanistan, you dollard!

merridew ,

3 July 1979: CIA initiates Operation Cyclone, financing the Mujahedeen in Afghanistan.

25 December 1979: Soviet invasion of Afghanistan.

1989: Soviet withdrawal from Afghanistan.

1992: Democratic Republic of Afghanistan collapses; start of the Afghan Civil War.

1992: Operation Cyclone ends, after funneling thousands of tons of weaponry worth several billion US dollars to militant Islamic groups, including groups with jihadist ties.

1994: Emergence of the Taliban.

captainlezbian , (edited ) in In November, Ohio could become the 24th state to legalize marijuana

Yeah but then we’d be ohigho and nobody wants that except for the people who hang out at the intersection of gay and high streets in Columbus /s

Added sarcasm tag because I’m an Ohioan who thought I was being clever. Seriously we’ve needed legal weed for years. Our medical cards are too restrictive as is.
