  • Eminem sues Australian beach brand 'Swim Shady'

    Jump

  • Swim Shady is a leading manufacturer of high-quality beach shades, bags, towels, and swim shorts. Our products are designed to protect you from the sun's harmful rays while providing comfort and style. Swim Shady products are perfect for sun-safe travellers seeking adventure.

    That makes the name pretty clear and meaningful entirely outside of the existence of a Slim Shady.

  • Should parents who refuse childhood vaccines be liable if their choice harms someone else’s kid?

    Jump

  • If they choose to not vaccinate their child, fine. But they shouldn’t then expose other people to their children’s infections.

    It gets messier when they are communicable before symptoms are showing. But if my Sally and your Bobby were at a party with 10 other kids, and the next day bobby is showing symtoms, and then a week later a binch of kids at the party are as well, then they should be held responsible.

    Especially if they had reason to believe Bobby had been exposed to it days prior.

    Make your choices, but if your religious choices are that important to you, then account for how that impacts other choices you make, and don’t put other people at risk.

  • Checkmate, libs

    Jump

  • Its a viable strategy.

    Get a career going in a blue state when you've got supports to help you make it.

    Make a good amount of money, or get a decent wage/salary.

    Then transfer that all to a lower cost area to rest on your laurels and skip out on having to pay into support for the next generation.

    Its a perfectly conservative thing to do, pulling up the ladder after you've succeeded with it.

  • 60 Minutes Removes Trump’s Threat to ‘Walk Away’ from Interview During Corruption Questioning

    Jump

  • I don’t know for sure, but I imagine settling out of court, specifically avoids setting a precedent. Which in this case means if they want to run it, they’d not have the precedent to protect them, but also have to choose settling, or paying to fight an overtly partisan court system right up to the supreme court.

    They’ve capitulated enough for us to know that was never going to be N option.

    No network is going to do more to draw the attention of the administration, than allow late night hosts to make jokes about him, and even that isn’t going to last much longer I expect.

  • He does care about the law, just in the conservative way.

    “Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.”

  • TIL: American Boomers are The Most Selfish Parents on the Planet

    Jump

  • I'm going to take all the sacrifices my parents made to help ensure I have a successful life.

    I'm going to have no problem getting a great job with, or without education.

    I'm going to get into the housing market on a basic salary no problem.

    I'm going to bring kids into this world, and make sure they earn their own way.

    I'm going to shame them into leaving home as early as possible, make them rent for most of their life and wonder why they don't buy a house so they can make money on their investments.

    Oh, by the way, i'll make a ton more money on other peoples kids paying my second, third investment properties mortgage off with their rent.

    Then i'll live a glorious retirement, fully aware that my kids retirement is probably not going to happen ever.

  • Bill Gates softens ‘Climate Disaster’ approach, says strategy needs to shift: Interview

    Jump

  • I think that is a tough one. As long as we accept the value of a thing is what people are willing to pay for it, the prices will always climb.

    For essential products and services, the value should be based only on the effort required to provide or produce it.

    The main reason we’re dealing with our current inflation has everything to do with the amount of cash flowing upwards from the working class to the boardroom and shareholders.

    The prices are going up on essential items because people can’t afford to not buy gas, or not eat, or not rent. They need those to stay employable, and they slowly sacrificed everything else to keep those. So the price goes up, and people keep buying it, telling the heartless corporations that they can raise the prices more.

    Now we have significant portions of the population using short term loans or payment plans to buy their next weeks groceries.

    Jump

  • I think the idea is if you’re guaranteed a subsistence pay, then you are free to devote your time to creating something. Art, a business, a community, whatever that makes your life meaningful, rather than devoting 90% of your time working for someone elses profit, travelling to work, resting to be able to work, and eating to continue to work.

    You want to talk about bare subsistence, that is what most people are doing now in terms of time as a resource.

  • Yo, fire fox what the fuck?

    Jump

  • I think that’s a fair position.

    But the browser is just an app like any other. Apps have notification systems tied to the OSs notification system. Each app independently decides what they think it important to take advantage of that notification system.

    The OS should have a notification system that supports mute/deferrals, and other apps, games, media players or whatever else the use wants should use that system for the users benefit.

  • Yo, fire fox what the fuck?

    Jump

  • I feel like it’s the OS’s job to provide the means to mute or defer notifications in certain contexts, and the games jobs to enter that context in full screen.

  • Yeah, of course. But only one one can best.

    Peaceful protests are vulnerable to being incited to violence.

    And in late stage capitalism, government is only listening to capital holders. Money speaks way louder to capital holders than the inconvenience of a protest.

  • The problem isn’t the student loans per se, its that the principle has been paid off many times over and somehow moat people own many times more in interest.

    Forgiving imaginary debt is not the same as paying off someones bad debt.
