We at least don’t serve that to children generally.

Andrew Callahan gives him free reign to spout all this bullshit and pushes back on nothing.

Isn’t this the whole idea of his content?

that’s a high effort response, the reason I brought up the change of ownership was to highlight that the company now has a parent company so this person’s refund claims are bouncing all over the place from Canada to Sweden to China which would make it harder to pin down, the actual cars are still designed in Sweden so they are European cars even though a chinese company owns them, it would be like saying riot games is a chinese company although having a parent company has certainly affected the quality & direction of the cars

The whole system just fucked this person over. A European car brand gets bought by a Chinese company so there’s already much less accountability to this one customer than if they had bought an American car (I know they are Canadian, but still). And with the car dealership model in North America and a lot of the rest of the world, it’s not like the dealership can just switch the cars they sell, so they have no leverage to do anything other than close up shop and have dozens of people lose their jobs if the cars start getting crappier like Volvos have been. I think the moral of the story is if you live in North America, don’t buy European cars, it’s not worth it, just buy North American cars or Asian cars, you will have a much easier time getting them fixed and having your problems dealt with.

Some RT headlines are so melodramatic, I’m sure they do it for engagement reasons, but still.

The headline could easily be

Why did Albanese refuse to reassure that Australia would assist America militarily in war over Taiwan.

I don’t think most people who voted for Trump care about the age of consent, biblically it’s not like there’s anything there designating something like that. They might care if he lowered the age of child marriage to 13, but even then that might not tank him.

All toilets will be state mandated to have one of those awful “smile you’re being filmed” stickers

That did he write his thesis on, The Giver?

I don’t think a lot of legal food can be considered poison, but both HFCS and sugar soda are really close. Also any other drink with heaps of sugar dumped into it. If you had to pour 40-50g of sugar into your glass you would likely not do it, but when someone else does it for you, you don’t have to think about it.

I wouldn’t post to any community they moderate anyways, one of the biggest rage baiters on lemmy

They did say they were gonna do this at some point before all the recent controversy and I hope the family of MLK gets something from these files, but of course he’s trying to distract from the Epstein stuff, but calling it desperate is a bit too far, why the fuck didn’t Biden release these files if it’s so desperate for Trump to do it.

I think it’s more of a testament to how bad the post socialist years have been vs a testament to Ceausescu being a particularly good leader. It’s also a question of how much to people attribute the good to Ceausescu vs the rest of the party and how much to people attribute the bad to Ceausescu vs the rest of the party.

Is this more of a thing that since there have been a bunch of plane incidents the media is reporting them more often, like the train derailments after East Palestine Ohio or is there a lot more of there happening than usual? Or both or neither, idk.

You could make that argument, but I think it’s important to note how these positions are chosen because it is a relatively unique and most countries don’t appoint government positions on a sect basis. Off the top of my head Singapore also does this and its convention to do this in Nigeria, but there are probably more examples.

For anyone not familiar with how positions in Lebanon are traditionally chosen

Key points of the agreement stipulate that:

Lebanese Christians do not seek Western intervention, and accept that Lebanon had Arab features.

Lebanese Muslims abandon their aspirations to unite with Syria and the Arab World.

The President of the Republic and the Commander of the Lebanese Armed Forces must be Maronite Catholic.

The Prime Minister of the Republic must be a Sunni Muslim.

The Speaker of the Parliament must be a Shia Muslim.

The Deputy Speaker of the Parliament and the Deputy Prime Minister must be Greek Orthodox Christian.

The Chief of the General Staff of the Armed Forces must be a Druze.

There must be a ratio of 6:5 in favour of Christians to Muslims (and Druze) in the Lebanese Parliament.
