Must be on purpose, because it's what caught my eye to click on this post lol

It is truly awful

Yeah, also, I know Germany is like the one "okay" group to rag on in the US because of historical reasons, but like, what's wrong with having a German last name?

It's not like you get to choose your ancestry.

You do, however, get to choose whether you try to be a dictator.

Neat 👍 that sucks

Upvoting, because while I don't eat meat myself, I like people who are consistent.

If you're okay with eating a pig, don't judge those you eat a dog.

Are there like no consumer guarantees in the US? How is this not a open and shut case where the manufacturer needs to replace or refund the product?

It's wild some of the stuff I find out is in the bible, and not just unrelated fiction. I was 14 when I finally found out David and Goliath was in the bible, not just some whacky kids story lol

It's absolutely wild that raising the minimum wage needs to be legislated every time. Other countries just appoint a body that has the authority to increase it every year based on XYZ, no legislation required.

Thanks for the explanation! And boy, does that sound broken.

Why aren't the bodies allowed to say how relevant laws are applied? Isn't the whole point behind regulatory bodies that the government will grant regulators certain powers with legislation?

I'm not a legal expert, but in Australia at least there are a bunch of regulators that work to legislation, but they totally come up with extra clarifications and rules themselves within the powers they've been granted, and you are obligated to follow those rules.

For example: the fair work commission in Australia sets the minimum wage every year, no legislation required. Employers can't just decide they're unreasonable and not follow them, unless they want to be taken to court (or go to jail, in certain states like Victoria).

Now, I have no idea what the laws are that give the US EPA their powers, but either SCOTUS is totally out of line here, or the legislation sucks.

Regulations are "unconstitutional"? Hmmmmmmm 🤔 Is SCOTUS bound by anything? Seems like they can rule however they like.

Where's Rainbolt when you need him

Lol, how would they even fit that in? What channel?

Oh but haven't you heard? It's vital to your career and social life that you pick a sportsball team. Else what ever will you answer when someone asks 😯???

I should specify, it's in the context of tv news and other headline notifications in news apps, or front page.

I don't read print newspapers, and have nothing against sports being covered in any news org, as long as it's not put front and centre where you can't escape it haha

I take issue with sports being in headline news practically every day, or multiple days per week at least.

I have nothing against people enjoying sports, but it's a hobby like any other, which I think is unreasonably thrust upon everyone else.

Where is the eSports news, or competitive dancing, woodworking news, or as I'm sure we can all agree on Lemmy, what about my old electronic gadget of the week news?

When I had The Guardian app, it was quite annoying that sports was lumped in with the push notifications for actual news.

I'm just saying sports news ought to be opt-in like any other hobby.

1066 is a very commonly referenced date, and follows this pattern also

For all its flaws, this is damn impressive that it can sound intelligent

It is weird that they dicked around for 4 years on this, though.

Still, vote blue, your vassals beg you (Australian here).

Oh hahaha, thanks for this

We're not saying svg is bad, are we? It's vector graphics which is great for scaling your images. (For non-photo images)
