But that district court judge, Sarah Wallace, ultimately ruled that Trump could remain on the ballot because she said it was not clear that the drafters or ratifiers of the 14th Amendment intended to cover the presidency in the insurrection clause.

This part really pissed me off. The 14th amendment is pretty clear that it refers to any and all people. Is it just me, or is judge Wallace implying that it isn’t clear that the founders believed the president is a person?

And it may be illegal in some states to not offer the customer an actual refund.

Can we please include sales tax in that price too? It is also a bullshit hidden fee the way the US does it.

Good. I hope he gets rich and that it ends this sort of bullshit in Texas schools.

Yes, Nikki, you’re right that it was about “tradition” and “change,” but what you’re conveniently neglecting is the fact that the tradition that these states didn’t want to change was owning slaves.

In Thursday’s decision, Anzalone recommended that Starbucks offer the benefits and higher pay to excluded employees, starting from the date when they went into effect for non-union workers, among other remedies.

Starbucks should also post a notice in its cafes telling workers that the NLRB found Starbucks had violated federal labor law, and detailing employee rights, she said.

This is the part that pisses me off the most - the only punishment is that Starbucks has to pay the unionized employees what they are owed and post a piece of paper correcting their earlier lies. There’s no fine, so they risked nothing by breaking the law.

This isn’t even enough to be considered a slap on the wrist. Other companies will take note and try any creatively dishonest policy they can come up with to prevent unionization.

And just like 9/11, they were warned of the attack weeks in advance but were still woefully unprepared to protect their citizens.

I don’t believe for a second this was accidental. If it were, there would be no reason to hide it.

This title is so misleading. France hasn’t banned the device, and the radiation levels could likely be fixed with a software update. French officials have stated that they may prohibit sale and issue a recall IF Apple doesn’t respond to their request. The article says as much:

France's junior minister for the digital economy, Jean-Noël Barrot, told newspaper Le Parisien that a software update would be able to address the radiation issues linked to the iPhone 12. Apple has two weeks to respond to France's request, if it fails to do so, Barrot stated that he is prepared to issue a recall of the device, which went on sale in 2020.

Also, why the hell did it take French agencies 4 years to test this device? Even if Apple says they won’t update the phones and is forced to stop selling them, taking a 4 year old phone off the market won’t really hurt them in any way.

Perfectly toxic, as all stack overflow comments should be.

Yeah, as an elder millennial, I’ve never been able to afford to live alone. This is by no means a new problem, but it’s definitely getting worse.

Because there are still plenty of dipshits that inexplicably adore this fuckwad.

And here’s a screenshot of a hilarious comment that I found in the modcoord discord

That’s a ridden hard and put away wet 36.

Yeah, why don’t they go protest somewhere else where no one will see them. That will surely do something for their cause.

I am not crazy! I know he stole those votes. I got more votes than 2016, one more than MAGA Carta. As if I could ever make such a mistake. Never. Never! I just - I just couldn't prove it. He covered his tracks, he got those idiots at the elections commission to lie for him. You think this is something? You think this is bad? This? This chicanery? He's done worse. That son of his! Are you telling me that Hunter just happens to be in business with Ukraine? No! He orchestrated it! Joey! And his son defecated through a sunroof! And I saved him! And I shouldn't have! What was I thinking? He'll never change. He'll never change! Ever since he was 9, always the same! Couldn't keep his hands off the children! "But not our Joey! Couldn't be precious Joey!" And HE gets to be the president? What a sick joke! I should've stopped him when I had the chance!

Google heard you and have increased the Firefox delay to 1m 30s. Would you please consider using Chrome now please?

If you’d read the article, it appears that this image was posted on shutterstock without being marked as being AI-generated, so this is less Disney not being able to help themselves, and more a person working for Disney inadvertently selecting an AI generated image because whoever uploaded it to shutterstock lied about its source.

The shipping containers make it so much more dystopian, and calling it “The People’s Park” is just bad writing, even for schlocky YA fiction.

Follow up question Mr Superintendent: in what way does prohibiting this particular hairstyle “benefit the whole?”

The time for regulating these evil business practices out of existence is now. It’s clear they won’t do the right thing out of moral obligation, so they need to be made an example.

Never too serious for a healthy dose of pedantry.

And I am taking note to your wording because it’s so easy to come off negatively when being pedantic, yet you’ve avoided that quite elegantly.

But it goes back much further than that. Musk wanted to rebrand PayPal X before they ousted him as CEO more than 20 years ago. He is so proud that he bought this domain in the 90s that he just keeps trying to make it a thing despite the inherent ambiguity.

Unfortunately even Apple has announced they are discontinuing their smaller phone, citing poor sales, so it seems the small phone gang is too small to have any market power.

Holy shit. Reality is so crazy lately that it seems more and more made up every year.

The doctor’s name is Hammam Alloh.

I was hoping translation would clear up the picture, but no such luck…

It’s more like the cops throw a grenade at the robber and teller, and when they kill the teller, the officers try to imply the teller’s complicity because they allowed the robbers to control the bank to begin with.

And then when the robbers rationalize the bank teller’s death as martyrdom for their cause, should we really feel bad for the teller?

The ACLU had a pretty good article on it a few years ago. It seems the inaccuracy comes from the number false positives and the resulting aggressive police response.

"We have seen that you can embed viruses in the cartridges. Through the cartridge, [the virus can] go to the printer, [and then] from the printer, go to the network."

Either this is complete bullshit or HP is over-engineering completely unnecessary vulnerabilities into their hardware. There’s no reason why a dumb ink cartridge (no DRM) would need any ability to send data to the printer other than very short messages (like a few bytes at most), so it should not be possible for an ink cartridge to give the printer a virus unless this vulnerability is the direct result of the new DRM-tracking additions.

So HP is either malicious or incompetent, and regardless of which it is, I can’t see myself trusting another of their products ever again.

These new ideas are exactly why they had to kill 3rd party apps. If they hadn’t, this sort of change would just push more people to adopt them.

Huh? How was cancelling the third most popular phone OS in the US good for consumers or in any way increasing competition in the industry?

Yes, but spoiler alert: they won’t.

Nah, they are going after the people in the hospital that deny the order, not the hospital itself. The people in Seattle will be fine as long as they stay in Washington and their state and the feds refuse to extradite, but anyone charged may have trouble when traveling to other states and will be unable to travel through Texas without legitimate fear of detention.

Because Texas threatens criminal prosecution for anyone who does not comply. And these people are probably concerned that if they just say no and don’t sue, they will most likely face criminal litigation in Texas that could cause arrest warrants that could affect them if and when they travel.

but Levine and friend believe Tyndall died of natural causes.

Well that’s a bummer. He deserved a much worse death than natural causes.

Sure, criticize the woman for charging people for sex rather than the absolute chump who paid a quarter of a million dollars to hide the fact that he got his pee-pee sucked. That sure sounds like the type of smooth brain deflection a trump supporter would try, but the rest of us ain’t stupid or bigoted enough to fall for it.

You could just stop subscribing to the Reddit community on Lemmy if you are so tired of these sorts of Reddit-centric posts on Lemmy.

Because Congress decided not to hold Internet service providers to account for the promises they made in exchange for not paying taxes 25+ years ago.

But … but the US makes such a good scapegoat!
