  • Part of me is with you, but it’s just SO disheartening.

  • I no longer care about judicial rulings against the federal government. They’ve become empty gestures. I’ll pay attention when the federal government actually obeys a judge.

  • Pardon my ignorance, but isn’t the name of the trial attorney somewhere in the public record? Seems like a fairly basic, and important, piece of information.

  • I’ve been having “issues” with YouTube for years. Can you be more specific?

  • Sounds like a candidate for the easiest job in the world. “My job is to prevent something that doesn’t exist.” Okay. Sounds like a perfect nepotism gig for someone’s idiot relative.

    “But the skies of today are not the skies of my youth,” Butler said.

    No shit. There are more jets and more airports than there were in your youth.

  • I love it when charts use such easily distinguishable colors, like putting brownish orange and orangish brown together.

  • He has just given himself an eighteen month deadline to succeed or lose his own job. At least, that’s how I’d interpret it if I was in a position to fire his ass.

  • Yes. What was the point of him putting his phone on silent? What was the reasoning behind that?

  • Never expected to feel sorry for an alligator, but there’s a first time for everything.

  • It was “not only a dismissal, but a dismissal with prejudice, meaning that my client can never be charged again for anything to do with this incident,” says Goetz.

    This makes the good news even better.

  • In my own experience, the internet is best for shocking, short-term nastiness. I’ve rarely met anyone in person who was quite as obnoxious or annoying as a particularly bad hit-and-run online troll.

    IRL contact is still the “best” for deeply hurtful, damaging, long-term cruelty.

  • If you’re gonna sum up an entire culture in a handful of words, well, they could have done worse.

  • This can’t get off my feed fast enough

  • I think it’s a great rule!

    To me, the links to alternate communities are essential. They allow you to set restrictions while still maintaining a helpful atmosphere. Sometimes, people have legitimate, good-faith questions, and don’t know where to ask them. Those links help demonstrate a real concern for the users. Well done!

  • Well, I just subbed! I think it’ll be good for my mental health.

  • So they can maintain plausible deniability.

  • It looks like a toy. Are you sure it was built by Fiat Aviazione and not Playskool?

  • I don’t find it terrifying at all. I just think the “boyfriend” is laughably pathetic.

    I wish more human women had the freedom, choice, self-respect, and/or strength not to have relationships with men who refuse to treat them as equals. Society as a whole would be better off. Of course, this is an oversimplification of a complex problem, and everyone has their own unique and important story. I think it’s generally true, though.

  • History @mander.xyz

    What single military had the most lopsided balance of offense/defense?

  • No Stupid Questions @lemmy.world

    Why is it considered sexist to ask women to smile?
