  • Never heard of it, but it's shutting down tomorrow it looks like, which is quite the coincidence.

  • Why not serve fried chicken on Juneteenth? How is it different from serving corned beef on St. Patrick’s day?
  • Um, but actual Irish-Americans love eating corned beef and cabbage on St. Patrick's day. It's racist to celebrate your heritage? Or just to try things from other people's cultures?

    Share Your Story: The Impact of Losing Access to 500,000 Books
  • Libraries buy licenses to do so from the publishers, but that's unrelated to what I said.

    I'm saying the judge found that IA violated its own CDL, so even if its interpretation of the law was correct, the IA would still be liable.

  • Share Your Story: The Impact of Losing Access to 500,000 Books
  • Libraries do not make unlimited copies of books so everyone can check it out at the same time without wait. Obviously the EFF doesn't want to admit its client did that because it destroys their case, but that's what the judge found the IA stupidly did.

  • Hamas Wants Guarantees Ceasefire Will Actually Happen, While US Says Hamas Is Rejecting the Proposal
  • they are the folks bargaining for Gazans

    Hamas's sole goal is to bait Israel into killing as many Palestinians as possible so they can unite the Arab world via their mutual hatred for Jews. The only reason they're even making a façade of negotiating is so headlines can make Israel look unreasonable for not accepting their one-sided deals.

  • Responsible guidance is a choice
  • I still feel a can is the easiest and least wasteful solution. You pour the grease in and put the can in the cupboard until next time. Unless you're cooking bacon all the time, it takes a long time to fill up. You don't need more than one or have to wait.

  • What America really needs
  • I'm not arguing it doesn't make sense. I'm just stating the evidence shows the Mississippi isn't trending lower despite how you explain why it is.

  • What America really needs
  • That's not climate change; that's just a precedented drought and media trying to cash on doomscrolling climate change. It's done the exact same thing almost every year. Rain has always been somewhat random.

  • EVs Could Last Nearly Forever—If Car Companies Let Them
  • More it still exists because they were literally incapable of replacing it. They weren't good quality; people just didn't have any other options. I'm sure we can make our cars last just as long if we clamp the screws tighter and ensure no one can afford to buy a new car.

  • The number of deaths in ICE custody is already more than double all of last year
  • Disinfectant ≠ pesticide

    Obviously every COVID policy everywhere is heavily criticized after the fact by someone, but that likely saved lives.

    Consumers are so demoralized by inflation and high rates they've given up on saving for the American Dream and are spending money instead, economist says
  • It depends on what you call "itty bitty" and "wealth". Saving $1,000/month is doable for many people and will make you a millionaire by retirement age, even adjusting for inflation.

  • U.S. governors urge Turks and Caicos to release Americans as Florida woman becomes 5th tourist arrested for ammo in luggage
  • It's literally a victimless crime committed unintentionally. Most people oppose 12-year prison sentences for harmless accidents.

  • Lots of times the restaurants won't even have milk
  • Yeah, I'm assuming most people are American or European. I think 40% is a high estimate, but even among the lactose intolerant people I know in real life, I've never met one who thinks drinking milk is weird. Most even consume dairy products, just lactose-free versions or enduring the consequences.

  • Lots of times the restaurants won't even have milk
  • It's extremely regional though. Lactose intolerance is definitely the minority in the English-speaking world that would be on here.

  • US military pier starts moving towards Gaza
  • Why would Hamas care about losing support from younger Americans or what the Kremlin thinks? Their sole goal is to achieve Arabic unity by escalating Arabic-Jewish hostilities.
