How the fuck is sick leave not protected. Y'all Americans need to be rioting over that shit. That's wild

I so badly wish this was publishable. It would be SO useful.

I think this source hasn't sampled their data very well. The figures for china seem wildly wrong.

The figures from the same source even list the number of automobiles in China as 319 million in 2022, no where even close to 64% of the population.

The 64% commuting with own car in China is way off. So I'd question the entire chart.

We want the legend, rather than the man, it would seem

I know this is a joke, but a bad dog is so much more of a problem than a bad cat. (Not counting feral animals)

Bad cat: angry, wants you to leave them the fuck alone, scratches you at the slightest provocation

Bad dog: hyperactive or jumps all over you or barks at you, can seriously injure or kill you.

Our society takes for granted that you can take your dog anywhere (in Australia at least), and I don't think enough emphasis is placed on the fact if you can't 100% control your dog, don't bring it anywhere near people.

The number of people saying "oh he's friendly" as their dog scares someone afraid of dogs because they're jumping up on them is stupid.

This society values dogs more, and I just don't get it.

Only took them 18 major version releases. Maybe one day we'll get to choose an alarm snooze timer than isn't 9 minutes something.

It must be globally, I'm in Australia. What utter bullshit, since I would have never known if it weren't for my NetGuard firewall app.

Requests the app made today.

This is my phone I own outright, by the way. I don't have any creditors.

Update for those curious:

Same reason I hate it when the housing market is described at "strong" in Australia? In what way? Is the market providing housing for all who need it? No?

Then it's weak and I'll have none of this "strong" housing market bullshit.

At least she was open to listening, hopefully you've made an impact on her going forward

I echo the dissatisfaction people have with this and won't be donating again. This is Lemmy.world not Lemmy.(we need a safe space from the communists)

The fact you were upset about Beehaw's defederation but then turn around and do this is massive hypocrisy.

This is you imposing your personal ideology on your users. The fact you lead with those 3 "concerning statements" tells us everything. You only like free speech when it aligns with your own beliefs.

Shame.

I think this logic is silly.

Employers don't own you, so witholding wages for services you provided isn't stealing. Getting a haircut and not paying isn't stealing.

I think the better justification is: rights holders make it a pain in the arse to access content affordably, so fuck you, just going to steal it.
