She’d just been held at gunpoint by a man who said he planned to carry out a mass shooting — a random attack common in the U.S. these days

I don’t have anything to add beyond repasting that. It speaks for itself.

You can get up to 14 years in prison for selling cannabis and up to 5 years for just possession in the UK.

I have a suggestion for who you can release first.

Leaving a two-year-old alone in a car for 30-60 minutes (he doesn’t even know how long he was gone) isn’t is criminal in and of itself regardless of the weather. On top of that, he knew it was in the triple digits and he’s also not so stupid that he doesn’t know that cars can break down. I don’t know what to tell you. I just hope you aren’t responsible for any toddlers.

Edit: Stupid typo.

However, the funding enacted in 2022 that is allowing the IRS to pursue its plans still has its critics, particularly among congressional Republicans.

“How dare they raise revenue from the tax cheats who vote for us!”

It sure would be stupid if Texas wasn’t connected to the national grid because that would make solving this problem a lot slower and a lot more expensive.

Sure would be stupid…

They can’t keep deregulating if they can’t keep blaming the government. And the more they deregulate, the more that goes wrong, the more they can claim the government wasn’t prepared for.

Still, two billionaires in a few months being convicted of fraud by New York juries shows at least a little promise.

It doesn’t say what it is, but I am guessing that there is a minimum sentence here that will apply no matter what. The maximum is 20 years per count according to the article, so I’m guessing even the minimum won’t be great.

The question is whether or not he’ll be able to appeal it. Same with Trump.

We’ll see if Saudi Arabia’s attempt to control the West works this time. They sure do a good job with the U.S. despite being behind 9/11.

The U.S. has the weapons already whether or not they’re in Germany. That particular genie is out of the bottle.

Yeah, please make Germany more vulnerable to Russia! We need Europe ruled by Putin who is definitely a benevolent and friendly guy and not a ruthless dictator.

I guess that would mean if Elon voted, he would be arrested.

They’re making it harder for the right people to not vote in the eyes of Republicans.

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

The fewer people vote, the more likely it is for Republicans to win since their base is more die-hard. And they know this.

Like when Black Panthers were protecting the right to vote.

And suddenly Reagan became all about gun control around the same time.

Not only is that illegal, the dumbfuck doesn’t even realize that there couldn’t possibly be a better way for Democrats to sweep the election than on a wave of sympathy if Biden were assassinated.

Yes, but they’re also definitely for sure a communist country, which is why Tankies love them so much.

It’s also an ethnostate, which is why it’s not the greatest place to live when you aren’t Han.

I agree with you. It’s a dictatorship that is not a communist country.

That’s what you’re saying, right?

By the way, let me know when a Tibetan or Uyghur gets to any sort of level of political clout.

Suicide rates of Foxconn workers match that of Mainland university students (and is way lower than the overall average but that would compare the young often male workers against elderly rural ladies)

I like how you think that’s somehow a defense of Foxconn and not showing that it sucks to live in China overall.

I’m pretty sure less than 14 people in a year jumped off of Google’s headquarters.

(Insert virtually any other non-Chinese corporation or factory not located in China in Google’s place.)

I’m also pretty sure Google didn’t have to install suicide nets.

@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

It also doesn’t have company barracks

What? You mean other corporations don’t require their employees to sleep at their jobs?!

But I’m sure that can’t possibly have anything to do with mental illness leading to suicide, hence all the suicide nets on the buildings of all of those other factories. Oh wait.

Sorry… are you comparing student dorms with factory barracks? What shithole college did you go to?

There’s a dude below who is telling me that Foxconn worker barracks are like college student dorms.

Sorry, you’re now comparing permanent living conditions to temporary accommodations? Accommodations which are actually nicer than what Foxconn provides?

Holy fuck.

The DHHS also noted that Robinson’s childcare center failed to put sleeping infants on their backs, improperly refrigerated infant formula, improperly stored medications, had exposed electrical outlets, lacked a certified childcare administrator on site, and allowed staff members to talk on cell phones while supervising children.

They literally could have killed babies.

Sacramento high school biology final includes racist questions, targets students (www.sacbee.com)

A Luther Burbank High School freshman was surprised to read his full name included on a biology final. Not only that, but he was being ridiculed. “In high school, there are individuals who are cross-eyed like (the name of a fellow student) and (the name of the student previously mentioned), which is a dominant trait.

Do you think maybe there’s a slight difference between “the Bible says there were dragons” and “all of these civilizations have dragon folklore, therefore that means dinosaurs were dragons?”

Are you normally amazed by people hating on environmental disasters which are being marketed as the great solution to the world’s problems but are only actually useful in a few industries and not to the general public overall?

Yes, I already quoted you once:

you’ll still have to pay a lot of money to get real education.

That was you defending your own idea after someone criticized the conclusion you came up with.

Here it is in context:

It’s pretty silly to pretend that isn’t what you were arguing for when someone can just look at the comments you made in the order in which they were made.

Because you’d have to be a fool to think it was Biden or Kennedy and there’s really only one other possibility.
