Barx , in Some company heads hoped return-to-office mandates would make people quit, survey says

Yeah duh. This is a very, very old way to fire people without having to actually fire them. Just create intolerable working conditions.

In modern times they're mostly trying to avoid paying for unemployment.

Viking_Hippie , in White House Labels Israel’s Attack That Killed 274 Palestinians as “Successful”

Just when you thought they couldn't get any more complicit in the genocide and myriad other war crimes of the fascist apartheid regime 🤦🤬

sik0fewl , in White House Labels Israel’s Attack That Killed 274 Palestinians as “Successful”

So did NBC News.

ObamaBinLaden , in US reverses ban on Juul vaping products

Congratulations to juul to be able to gather enough money to be able to bribe their local government official

tardigrada , in Inside Myanmar: The devastating cost of fighting the military junta

Myanmar soldiers cut off tattoos and gave detainees urine to drink, witnesses say

Eyewitnesses told the BBC the village [in the Rakhine State] was subjected to two-and-half days of terror as soldiers blindfolded and beat them up, poured burning petrol on their skin and forced some of them to drink their urine.

Warning: You may find some of the details in this piece disturbing

saltesc , in Nepal | Mount Everest: Eleven tonnes of rubbish taken off Himalayan peaks

As an actual climber, I can't imagine what these filthy grots do up there.

Camps always has a dedicated rubbish section, contained, easy to seal and haul. Things that are single-use are avoided as it's dead weight. Otherwise, have planned rubbish that can provide a use later, whether material or balsa containers that become kindling once empty, or keeping wet socks/gear in a dry spot that won't dampen other gear layer, or dry bags that are light, compact, sealed, and often have many uses when weather or situations change.

The rule in the mountaineering and climbing communities around here is, "Leave it better than you found it." A real climber manages their haul so well, picking up other's rubbish along the journey doesn't impact their ideal max weight. So what the fuck are these idiots doing where 11 tonnes gets taken off the mountains?! Most everything should be easily finding its way to camps for planned hauls down to base during season.

Bluefalcon , in US reverses ban on Juul vaping products

They actively targeted minors. Why is the company allowed to come back?

awesome_lowlander , in Scientists Discover Way to Destroy Harmful “Forever Chemicals” in Water Supply

the discovery of a chemical process that uses the high levels of salt found in wastewater to break down the chemicals’ strong bonds.

This seems like it might actually be technically feasible and scalable!

Barx , in USA | Columbia Law Review Remains Offline After Students Reject Disclaimer Undermining Palestine Article

Archived version only grabbed the first page or so, I think

Looks like it. Something on that page specifically breaks it, as it works on the site generally. Here is alternative version: https://web.archive.org/web/20240606185853/https://theintercept.com/2024/06/06/columbia-law-review-palestine-gaza-rejects/

Cheradenine , in Italy Migration Deal with Albania is a Costly, Cruel Farce

Meloni now says the centers, originally slated to become operational in May, will be ready by August. Construction costs have increased by more than 25 million euros, while the overall budget for the scheme’s operation over the next five years, according to the government, is €670 million (others say it will cost up to €850 million).

What they don't say is how much it would cost to provide these services locally. The U.K. wants to send their immigrants to Rwanda. Integrating people into local culture is a net benefit, and generally less expensive, for those whose primary concern is cost, not human lives. Ostracizing them and separating the from their families is what does harm.

This is just more off shoring racism.

The problem is complex, efforts like this do not make things better.

Even If it was used by Hamas, which IDF provided no proof of, murdering children in cold blood is not an answer. Though, US might learn from it and next time when a school shooter takes your classroom hostage, they will just drop a bomb on it. Israel is a genocidal state.

aport , in First confirmed human case of bird flu H5N2 has died, says World Health Organisation

We've had first pandemic, yes, but what about second?
