- Comment on ‘Net zero hero’ myth unfairly shifts burden of solving climate crisis on to individuals, study finds 1 day ago:
Didn’t know it was mandatory for me to travel to Punta Cana twice a year, I haven’t done my mandatory air travel in… 33 years! Oh shit! What about the majority of the world’s population that never took a plane, what are they gonna do? 😱

Thing is these corporations don’t emit in a vacuum, they emit to fill demand for their products, demand that comes from people.
If people stop traveling all over the world and ordering shit to be delivered the next day they won’t keep the planes flying for no reason, but that’s something that’s 100% in regular people’s hands. Boeing can use more efficient engines, it’s still not sustainable to use them, but they won’t stop using them if there’s demand.

They vote against CEOs that aren’t working to prevent climate change. Not all stock market investments make the climate crisis worse.
Fuck your disinformation.

“Got rich”
The profits are going in a fund that is kept for later on, it doesn’t affect people’s current finances. The only idiots here are all the countries that didn’t nationalize their natural resources to do the same.

There was no scenario in which this age difference wouldn’t make things awkward, but there’s scenarios where it would make things more awkward!
- Comment on Uber Eats undercover: Delivering your food for $1.74 an hour 2 weeks ago:
Had a colleague that did it as a side gig and no matter how many times I told him to do it, he always refused to do the calculation to figure out how much he was making after expenses.
- Comment on 79% of Americans feel burned out as they put most vacation time toward errands, doctor visits, and family care 2 weeks ago:
A bit over 100 years ago people left school at 12 to go work 6 or 7 days a week in a factory until they died.
Things are better for the vast majority.

I hope they admit to it on their deathbed a long long time from now so they can be buried under a round of applause.

In the USA violence can be legal for anyone under certain circumstances, otherwise I don’t know what’s expected from the second amendment…

- Comment on Steam is 'an unsafe place for teens and young adults': US senator warns Gabe Newell of 'more intense scrutiny' from the government if Valve doesn't take action against extremist content 1 month ago:
I think you’re misunderstanding the user of the term “public” here. A mall is a public space in the sense that people can go, but it’s not a picnic space in the sense that it’s not operated by the government, it’s a private space. I’m using the term public space in the governmental sense, not in the publically accessible sense.
Also, talking about Europe as a whole is wrong since different countries can still have different rules on the subject.

See the US section, the use of the term “public space” in this conversation is acceptable as the term “public” is used in opposition to privately owned and not public in the sense that it’s open to the public like a mall is.

The government cannot usually limit one’s speech beyond what is reasonable in a public space, which is considered to be a public forum (that is, screaming epithets at passers-by can be stopped; proselytizing one’s religion probably cannot).

I’m talking about the users commenting on Helldivers patch notes. Just like with Starship Troopers, people on the right see Helldivers as inspiring when the message behind the media is anti fascism.

No it’s not a public space.
Public space would be a place like a national park or the sidewalk. These forums are owned and operated by a private company, they’re private spaces and can be moderated however the company sees fit. Same thing for Twitter or Facebook or Lemmy.
A senator has the right to tell them that they need to do a better job at moderating their platform if there’s reasons to believe they’re letting people threaten violence or incite criminal activity.

So? He doesn’t have to protect free speech on a private platform

Never heard of kids committing suicide due to being bullied?

First amendment is for public spaces, a forum owned by a private comment isn’t a public space.

- Comment on YouTube devs be like 2 months ago:
The problem with the “free” part is that hosting videos isn’t free so there needs to be monetization in some form.
- Comment on Journalist asking the hard questions 2 months ago:
Doesn’t matter, the process to ask to be allowed in is the same.
Also, in this specific case, the rape accusations were in civil court so they’re not accusations that would prevent him from entering Canada. The charges that made him a felon are the ones related to the hush money.
- Comment on Journalist asking the hard questions 2 months ago:
For the fifth time, he just needs to fill up some paperwork and the Canadian border service agency decides to allow him in or not, the same right is given to any person with a criminal record visiting Canada.
- Comment on Journalist asking the hard questions 2 months ago:
The host country can recognize it and arrest them… or not. Technically Mongolia should have arrested Putin when he visited not too long ago, they didn’t because that would have been political suicide.
The international court is a completely different beast from a national court.
- Comment on Journalist asking the hard questions 2 months ago:
They’re allowed if they fill up the right paperwork and it’s approved by the Canadian border service agency, it’s not about immunity, it’s a process that exists for anyone with a criminal record, the difference is that Trump will be approved automatically just like Bush was 20 years ago.
- Comment on Journalist asking the hard questions 2 months ago:
And your comment is still wrong. Diplomatic immunity has nothing to do with the process any foreigner with a criminal record can go through to visit Canada. It’s paperwork and it’s the same thing Bush was doing to visit Canada while he was president 20 years ago.
ircc.canada.ca/english/helpcentre/answer.asp?qnum…
Again, diplomatic immunity is about things the person does while inside the host country if they’re acting as a representative of their country and it only protects certain people, not anyone sent by a country and in Canada it doesn’t even apply to presidents/premiers/kings of foreign nations.
- Comment on Journalist asking the hard questions 2 months ago:
Trump will be granted access the same way Bush was (he has a DUI), there’s paperwork necessary that wouldn’t be if he didn’t have a record and that anyone can fill up in the same situation, entry will be granted by default for Trump, that’s the main difference.
