So they claimed!

Bravo. I didn’t even go mental, I pointed out Africa has black people in it to disprove their claim that all black people are culturally American. They didn’t stammer, but they sure did get mad.

Yep. Not too long ago I tried to explain this to some other Lemmings, and I got severely downvoted. They did not like hearing that ethnicity doesn’t imply a mental/cultural monolith.

Unless you consented, she’s cheating on you.

There are significant downsides to a large population, some of which are a function of the buildings required to house them, like how you supply all those homes with electricity. There is absolutely such a thing as too many people and such a thing as too many buildings and/or buildings which are too large.

rather than the person who is receiving the income.

Yes, this seems deeply fucked up.

From the article:

He also didn’t know that tenants renting from a non-resident are required to withhold and remit 25 per cent of their rent to CRA each month, unless they have a property manager doing it for them, or if the non-resident has made alternate arrangements to pay their taxes.

Why would Canadian law require that? I’ve never heard of a country forcing people to pay other people’s income taxes outside of countries that still have forced inheritance of debt, like South Korea. Makes absolutely no sense. As in this case, the requirement about non-residents is inane, because the renter has no way to assess resident status.

Historically, when a political party’s nominating convention occurs after a state deadline for certifying nominees, states have either enacted laws to push back the deadline – as Ohio did in 2012 and 2020 – or accepted a provisional certification from the party.

This Allen guy is brand new and does not appear to understand the law he’s sworn to uphold.

8 ounces to a cup, 2 cups to a pint, 2 pints to a quart, 4 quarts to a gallon.

This thread is a garbage fire - a bunch of people who didn’t look anything up (or if they did, they cite no sources, so there’s no evidence they did) spouting a bunch of mutually contradictory shit, all of it upvoted. I will never understand why anyone engages with Lemmy this way.

Here is the list of US charges against Assange, from the actual paperwork charging him.

As you can see here, each of the first 17 charges has a maximum penalty of 10 years (not including fines).

Charge 18 is messier. Under USC 371 the max is 5 years. I believe USC 1030 is also capped at 5 years.

So roughly a 175 year sentence, at cap.

Why are you being downvoted? “Never” is the correct answer.

Let’s break this down.

1. Not all misogynists are guys.
2. “Misogyny” is like “homophobia” - the literal definition applies, so it includes people who actively hate women, but it’s much broader in scope than that. 2A. All three of your examples are examples of misogyny.

Thanks for the tip!

Took a look, it seems useless for manga - none of the extensions worked without challenging me to input a URL I had no basis for knowing.

The significantly more numerous anime extensions seem to include some that work a treat, though.

Information not mentioned in this article:

In Italy speeding fines are a fixed amount based on how far over the limit you’re going, which makes them a regressive tax on going fast - wealthy people can sinply afford to speed as much as they like while the poor suffer. That woman they quoted who clearly thought the cameras would meaningfully deter speeding was full of shit; the cameras are there to generate revenue, not reduce speeding.

It is not a slippery slope fallacy.

Iceland or New Zealand.

The USA has firmly entrenched mechanisms (e.g. legal gerrymandering and the electoral college) that ensure third parties can’t survive. If you truly can’t stand either party, your only practical recourse is to leave. I outlined the best two alternatives up above.

If you can get away with it, it’s the option with the strongest financial incentive.

But this guy minimum-efforted it - there was zero chance he’d escape suspicion. Hell, he apparently told someone else he was doing it. No idea what he was thinking.

Yes, it is. Watch, I’ll do it right now:

“I think North Korea should be dissolved.”

And yet, zero people were hurt by my advocacy.

Canada proves they need stronger free speech protections every time anyone is arrested for “harmful” speech outside of fraud.

Track B also opens up all manner of other 14A abuses, since this law involves no due process.

Right. We should also assume all of the following really mean the n-word:

• Bigger.
• Digger.
• Figger (NSFW, no really, I mean it).
• Tigger.
