Seems like a real can / should problem to me.

Hard to believe this would entice anyone to purchase where a sexy lady couldn’t.

So, ah … yeah.

Governments can literally just spend money into existence.

Why isn’t anyone fucking crucifying the republicans over this shutdown?

Where is the outrage?

Why do the republicans get to set the narrative?

I can’t watch the video sorry but, from the title this is classic corporate liability mitigation and it’s sickening.

I’m not trying to compare myself to this poor woman at all - I haven’t endured anything like sexual assault and she has my sympathy.

That said, I have encountered this type of thing - when you’re not a customer but really more like an associate of a company, and for whatever happen you have a legitimate grievance or complaint, their first step is to stone wall you. You won’t have any contact with any person with the authority to resolve your grievance - stuck with public facing customer support who’s strategy is to wear you down with platitudes and delays.

Aparently they didnt hate him enough to vote against him.

I just want to point out the irony of her case.

If a far-left influencer was denied a visa to enter the US, they wouldn’t bother filing with the supreme court because they wouldn’t get a fair hearing.

The legal facility she attempted to access is one that she would withhold from her own people.

They don’t need to complain? They just put you in the van and disappear you.

Easier to identify that they’re ICE but still impossible to make a complaint or hold anyone accountable.

Hah. Ok. I’d heard about rice being “super high risk” in the past, and your comment encouraged me to look into it a little more.

Firstly, obviously this, nor my earlier comment is not “advice”. I’m not sat here advising people to eat toxic rice. Everyone is responsible for their own decisions. I don’t care what everyone else is doing, I’m merely curious as to how my we manage to avoid getting food poisoning from every meal.

Now, I don’t eat rice. I’ve been following a carbohydrate restricted diet for years because I have T2D. My partner is the boss about rice in our house. Yes, she’s from south east asia. We’re team thai-grown-jasmine when it comes to rice.

We also live in a mild climate, so in our kitchen during winter it would probably be 12 degrees celsius for 12 hours or so overnight, and rarely exceed 22 degrees celsius during the day. During summer there’s an additional 4 degrees to those numbers. We don’t use any heating or cooling in our house. I feel like this is certainly relevant.

I actually just called her to check on the timeframe she would follow. It’s more nuanced than I had previously considered. She said that in winter she would still eat rice after 36 hours at room temperature. However (!) based on my own observations I think the texture has become more rubbery by that time, so while she might do that on occasion I don’t think it’s that common. I think she just naturally cooks enough for this meal and the next meal, but sometimes there’s some left over.

She also said that in summer 24 hours is probably the limit.

Confirmation bias.

I had to look it up because I didn’t remember. Aparently “the hot chick” from 2002:

SNL might have been first but not being from the US I’ve never watched that.

Sorry, I didn’t mean to be an ass. It’s a dumb movie quote. I hope you get some proper answers fam.

Yeah i sure as shit do not know.

He has no redeeming qualities and seems to make the worst possible choice at every juncture but he inevitably seems to fail upwards.

I have a few observations.

He lies about everything all the time with no shame. As in, reality doesn’t matter it only matters what people hear you say.

He’s always the centre of attention. He’s always doing something controversial and is constantly on everyone’s mind.

He’s offensive. He offends the sensibilities of every rational person. Everything he says makes half the world feel exasperated and frustrated and angry, while the other half chuckles along because hes made the leftards angry.

He thinks and talks like an uneducated boomer, and that makes other uneducated idiots feel validated rather than feeling stupid.

You could put your weed in there.

Lets not pretend that they’re refusing on any kind of ideological ground.

Their respective legal teams would have told them not to sign. I’m sure that acknowledging / signing would expose them to additional risk of litigation.

It’s pretty obvious why you’re engaging with this wildly boring echo chamber. Seems pretty unfulfilling to me but you do you I guess.

Well, I’m here for the light entertainment and pleasant discourse with like minded people.

Why are you here?

I have less than no faith that American courts can deliver justice. Like they’re unashamedly corrupt and follow party lines.

Its just not possible for an American court to convict a republican for their crimes.

Lemmy absolutely is an echo chamber, no one will deny that. The question is, why are you here?
