That was just his lawyer trying to downplay the risk of someone else doing this so that his client isn’t used as an example to try to deter others. I would think that 6 months in prison probably isn’t going to deter many people who would put forth the effort to spend a decade working on a project like this.
So… my dreams of introducing the European Hedgehog to the American Midwest would violate federal and state laws as well as international treaties? Damn.
I’m shocked that Apple didn’t just make the crease more obvious and consider it a design element and advertise it as something the consumer wants.
some people DO need a drug like this, but we all know that is NOT who is buying and using this.
This sounds kinda judgy to me.
And these are not the medications that they’ve started looking at to lower prices on. The Inflation Reduction Act had several pieces of it that are aimed at lowering the cost of several prescriptions, including insulin. There have been other bills created at lowering the costs of other drugs, such at the epipen. It’s possible to address multiple problems at once. Just because we haven’t solved pricing on all drugs doesn’t mean we can’t make progress on specific, overprice drugs.
But these drugs target the self-control issues as well.
You aren’t wrong that our food is shit, and that also needs to be addressed, however these drugs are a very useful and effective means of addressing the obesity problem. You are wrong to be judging who you think needs these drugs and who doesn’t. If someone is obese and has been unable to control their weight for whatever reason, and these drugs work for them, then they need these drugs.
He She should just leave.
~~Yes, it still stands… if Mossad is able to get to Hezbollah’s leadership that completely, I think they are likely more than capable of doing the same with Hamas’ leadership. ~~
See above comment
~~Shit, you’re right… thanks, I’ve corrected it because my point still stands. ~~
See above comment.
Editing this again because when this story first broke I had assuming that this was a targeted attack on very specific people. I had also conflated Hezbollah and Hamas - and yes, I do know the difference, I just wasn’t paying as close attention between work, personal things, and Lemmy posting and made a mistake. And while I don’t support their attack on Hezbollah, I was still impressed with what I had assumed was a very targeted attack. But now as more information comes out, this really looks to be no different that if they had sprinkled land mines around someone’s home… sure, it might get that person, but it can also get innocent people as well, and that isn’t impressive. In summary, fuck Israel. Fuck Hamas. Fuck Hezbollah.
This goes to show that Israel could have taken out Hezbollah Hamas leadership at any time… there was no need to raze Palestine other than to move people out so that Israelis can move in and rebuilt.
But even still… they should just make it a regular clinic. Don’t give it a funny name, don’t put their name on it, don’t do anything that will give ANYONE an uneasy feeling about using it when they are in need.
If a woman needs/wants and abortion, she’s most likely gone through hell (no pun intended) making that decision. The last thing she needs is to see that her closest option is the ‘Hail Satan Abortionarium’ or feel that her situation is being used to score political points for some organization.
I fully support TST and all that they do… but this just feels a bit sleazy.
30+ years ago McDonald’s put in the automated fry hopper machines. This has nothing to do with minimum wage.
I’m also in favor of automating fast food, the fewer people handling my food the better. Let them hire maintenance workers instead of cooks.
The incredibly shitty plastic surgery?
Eh, Mitch Daniels wasn’t a Democrat.
The fact that it is 9/11 and they are blasting trump saying “I got involved with the Taliban” is a tragedy.
This is the opening to John Scalzi’s Starter Villain. Great book for anyone interested in a humorous look at late stage capitalist supervillains.
If they survive
And if they show the slightest sign that they might not survive then the US Gov will bail them out.
It is, and supposedly tastes like pork.
There had been a plan in the early 1900s to introduce them to the Louisiana swamps to be raised for meat. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Hippo_bill
I read IT in the 8th grade and I didn’t really get the whole “transgressive scene meant to evoke the rawness of adolescence being laid bare before the worst cosmic horror” part, but I did understand that they were doing it as a way to ‘ground’ themselves to reality. And as a 13 year old boy, I thought it was kinda hot.
I agree, this is why I consider myself a ‘patient gamer’… I don’t want to reward releasing half-done games, or trickling out DLC that should have been included in the original release.
I had to re-evaluate my stance on this when Baldur’s Gate 3 was released because I really wanted to play it, but was going to wait until it went on sale. Then the reviews starting coming in saying that it was a full game, no major issues, and no planned DLC. I immediately purchased it because **THAT **is the behavior I want to reward, and I’m very glad that I did.
