They probably already did offer spare parts on at least some products if you really wanted them, but shipping is pretty prohibitive on stuff like that.

The part I hate most is the “$800 phone” part. At least get a proper PC where you’ve got a fighting chance at being able to create stuff instead of a smartphone/tablet with an interface designed purely to consume, damn it!

It’s gotta be cheaper to do medical tourism and get something like that done in another country.

…if there’s [a pool] available near them.

Speaking of institutional racism…

This validated a new normal across America: When legally required to share public pools with Black children, many white families decided they’d rather not go at all. Closing public pools to avoid racial integration became official policy for many cities across the U.S.

Not only did racism deprive black people of access to pools (leading to stereotypes like “black people don’t swim” etc.), it also greatly reduced it for white people, especially ones not wealthy enough to pay for membership to one of the private pools that sprang up in the wake of the closures of the public pools.

We are all sicker because of the bigots’ hate.

Everyone is fat

Exactly, which points squarely at an environmental cause, not at individual sloth/gluttony or some shit like that.

The conclusion you’re saying doctors arrive at—which I don’t doubt you’re correct about—is actually completely fucking backwards.

The way I did it works in the default Lemmy web UI and in Voyager. I think you’re the one with a non-standard spoiler tag.

until Aileen Cannon starts getting orders from Domino’s.

Exactly: judges won’t start standing up against Trump until they start getting more threatening pizzas from non-MAGAs than they do from MAGAs.

That’s a damn good question!

An intelligent, informed adult.

Clearly at least part of that is a lie. You’re the one trying to defend the fuckwad by pretending his gibbering is just for attention and not sincere, despicable hate. I’m the one rebuking you for it. You got it entirely fucking backwards.

dudes rooms don’t always have seats.

wat.

That’s the really crazy thing: the entire bathroom issue was manufactured in the first place because the damn signs on the doors never had any legally-enforced meaning to begin with!

I do consider myself to be a fairly radical feminist (no we aren’t automatically trans exclusionary)

What’s the difference between regular feminism and radical (non-TERFy) feminism? I don’t know if I’m radical or not.

It’s almost as if he’s trying to evoke the horrendous animal abuses inherent to factory farming in order to pretend that feeding the hungry would somehow be worse than letting them starve.

It’s a fucking sick and deranged position to take, frankly — what we should actually conclude from that comparison isn’t that we shouldn’t feed the poor, but that we should feed people and also improve conditions for livestock.

If you’re targeted for kidnapping/rendition, your choice is to either die in an El Salvadoran prison or to die in a hail of bullets with the hope of at least taking a few Nazi thugs with you. Due process is not an option. That’s what’s happening now. It’s not a hypothetical.

Who are you to say he isn’t deranged enough to sincerely believe it?

Hey @admiralpatrick, come say your catchphrase!

Anyway, the answer is: if they didn’t have double standards, they’d have no standards at all.

More like “Amazon refuses to take responsibly for something that was blatantly their fault until they’re publicly shamed for it.”

Or at least a tarp, a pole, and some rope.

I’ve been in flight or flight mode for months now. Still haven’t decided which.

Oh shit, I thought “Thou-Shalt-Not-Commit-Adultery Pulsifer” from Good Omens was a joke. I didn’t think they actually used to name people like that!
