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.

...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.

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.

Lawyers for the federal government briefly published internal correspondence on Wednesday evening detailing a laundry list of flaws in the U.S. Department of Transportation’s legal strategy to shut down the MTA’s congestion pricing tolls.

The document, dated April 11, was mistakenly posted on the docket of the MTA’s federal lawsuit challenging U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy’s effort to kill the tolls by revoking federal approval. The internal 11-page letter, sent from attorneys in the Southern District of New York to a lawyer for the federal transportation department, was taken down less than an hour after it was erroneously put online. By Thursday afternoon, the attorneys were taken off the case while a transportation department spokesperson speculated they published the document as an act of sabatoge.

It marked a new, bizarre wrinkle in the legal back-and-forth between New York state and the Trump administration over the future of the Manhattan tolls — and sparked yet another round of recrimination within President Donald Trump's justice department.

Three assistant U.S. attorneys wrote in the internal letter that Duffy’s current argument to shut down the tolls isn’t likely to hold up in court. The program was approved under former President Joe Biden through a U.S. DOT pilot program – the Value Pricing Pilot Program – that allows local governments to impose tolls on federally funded roads. Duffy has argued he has the authority to rescind that approval, but the government attorneys were skeptical.

“It is unlikely that Judge [Lewis] Liman or further courts of review will accept the argument that [congestion pricing] was not a statutorily authorized ‘value pricing’ pilot” by the federal government, the letter states. “We have been unable to identify a compelling legal argument to support this position."
