Terrorism.

NoneOfUrBusiness ,

Hamas hasn't carried out any terror attacks on civilians since October 7, while Israel bombed civilians every single day and even broken a temporary ceasefire during the hostage exchange. And the death toll speaks for itself.

If you need a refreshed on what genocide is by definition, I explain it here in detail.

Ah, yes, "blocking" the Stock Exchange. The ultimate act of terrorism!

Unlike, for example, bombing children en masse.

Right? You would have to be a clown to care more about some numbers than literal human lives being destroyed every single day

Meanwhile in Canada we're like "Every winter there's millions of us facing these temperatures and worse and it doesn't make the news 🤔"

Is this news? It’s wintertime. It’s cold outside. I don’t get it

@Sphks@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

Answer from the article : "simple analysis can unmask the fraud. Like the fatty acids composition test, or the sterol composition, as well as the spectrophotometric constants"

Oh. OK. Easy. Next time at the grocery store I will check that.

and then the same rich people pay lobbyists to pay politicians to not to do that.

well yeah, he would be in a pickle for all that stolen land they already have. And that would ruin his further plans to settle the area fully, after they genocide the people.

Showroom7561 , in Half of recent US inflation due to high corporate profits, report finds

Many progressive economists pointed to corporate profits – or “greedflation” – and supply chain issues as a driver of high prices

Theft. It's called theft.

quindraco , in Grieving Louisiana father faces $18,000 bill to access state records of son’s case

50 cents a page? Are there platinum flakes in the ink?

Kid_Thunder , in Grieving Louisiana father faces $18,000 bill to access state records of son’s case

Once, I was working a government contract and needed access to 3 documents that were linked but you needed special access. The documents weren't classified or anything. It's just a website that I had some access to but specifically not these 3 documents. We had to abide by these documents. So I tried going through the program manager and their office and reaching out to the contacts which all lead to "I don't really know the process for this" from everyone. So you think they are the approvers because they click "Approve" but apparently not. That was the person before them....probably. They just said they never actually are supposed to click "Reject" and it was just how the system worked.

Anyway, I submitted a FOIA and requested just the 3 PDFs and linked them. They responded that they will send me paper copies for $0.50 a page and I think something like $18/hour for "research" to locate them. So I ask the government if they will pay the bill to the government and they tell me we'd have to amend the contract and negotiate. The billion dollar company I worked for at the time said the expense to do so didn't justify the bill but also we didn't budget to pay for it so and since we didn't bid it we couldn't charge the customer (it wasn't a cost plus contract).

Anyway, I basically guessed all of the requirements and we were successful but it was just an aggravating situation were everyone including the custodians of the location on the website didn't know how to do anything. Apparently they only know that they receive some electronic notification that someone was approved to access said location and they just had to click an Accept button but in actuality had no idea who could really approve such things or the process involved to get to the point of the notification itself.

Drusas , in Half of recent US inflation due to high corporate profits, report finds

Meanwhile, everyone knew this and the Fed targeted individuals instead of corporations when trying to tackle it.

Genocidal settler colonist makes statement slightly more in line with the actions of his state for the last 75 years.

aaaaaaadjsf , in Israeli PM Netanyahu opposes establishing Palestinian state after war
@aaaaaaadjsf@hexbear.net avatar

I mean Netanyahu is a colonialist war criminal currently committing genocide against the Palestinians, of course he is against the Palestinians having a state.

chicken , in Grieving Louisiana father faces $18,000 bill to access state records of son’s case

It should be a legal requirement for every document that is public record to be available via a standardized API, none of this shit with paying tens of thousands of dollars or only being able to look at it in person

BrikoX OP Mod ,
@BrikoX@lemmy.zip avatar

Yes, but the only reason sealed documents are not getting leaked left and right is them not being part of API. No private company would trust courts to deal with trade secret disputes otherwise because we all know their security is nonexistent.

They would also need a complete structural overhaul to implement something like that, since most states use standalone systems, while the federal system uses PACER.

DavidGarcia , in ‘Gaslit by doctors’: UK women with endometriosis told it is ‘all in their head’

Doctors don't take 3 years of gaslighting classes for nothing. It's a skill they lernd through hard work, so they have a god given right to use it.
