At least in America, all the judges are either in the pocket of the businesses or have their hands tied by laws passed by legislators who are in the pocket of businesses. Fuck them businesses.

That just...seems so wrong. My mentally declining grandmother used firefox back in the 00s era (though now that I think about it, my uncle is a developer, so maybe he set up the computer). How have we backslid since then to where so few people know/use firefox?

I wonder if there's any service that can 'fake' the $20 for a little while...

Generally female and male are terms used in more 'scientific' or exact language. I wouldn't say, "I met a group of females last night," but rather "I hung out with some women at the bar." It sounds awkward to use female/male in casual conversation for the typical English speaker. on the other hand, if I was writing a paper and discussing the research subjects, I would definitely say something like, "The research cohort consisted of 22 males, ranging in age from 21-34 years old (mean 24.5, SD 1.3), and 31 females, ranging in age from 20-39 years old (mean 25.6, SD 2.1)."

It's come to be considered derogatory for the same reason as retarded, mentally challenged, intellectually disabled, etc. have come to be derogatory: feelings built by consensus and time. A large group of people don't like the average 'incel,' and then they got the idea that incels were using the term 'female' in place of woman because they didn't see humans of the female variety to be 'people' in the same way they viewed males.

Also, the 50% statistic is from all marriages, not first-time marriages. The figure goes way up due to people being divorced, married, divorced again, ad nauseam. I remember the first-time marriage divorce rate being somewhere in the range of 27-33%.

The majority of the mug shots (that you'll never see, because most places don't even care enough to release them) don't have the arrested in a jumpsuit or with placard. Modern day suspect lineups use those mugshots to generate 'look-alikes' so that the lineup isn't one black guy and four white guys and thus completely ridiculous in terms of a victim identifying the actor in a crime. The mugshots need to be of them in civilian attire for the same reason that you wouldn't put one guy in the lineup in handcuffs.

Because changing your product, which specifically appeals to the target purchasers because of what you're changing, is going to make your product revenue take a nose dive? It should be obvious why they're fighting it with lawyers. Hopefully the laws are ironclad and upheld so Kellogg's gets their shit pushed in.

Half the fun is seeing how people try to fuck with you, and fucking with them back. Burner phone, though, never a real connection that you care about.

I have little doubt that apple still uses things like wi-fi and bluetooth even if they are completely turned off. I complained when they made the change to the control panel. If I want bluetooth or wifi off, no button I push should turn it off partially or for "24 hours."

There was something that just felt wrong about the sync app thread in one of the lemmy.world communities. Just post after post of "yay, it's like having reddit back again." Reddit can fuck off. I like the novelty and slight roughness around the edges.

It doesn't look close enough to a real bill for the bank/Secret Service to care about. I've seen someone charged with counterfeit money when they had the movie money that literally says "This is not real money, it is for cinematic purposes only" on the back. Cops and DAs can fuck you twice over.

Which, sadly, these days is a one-way ticket to you being in the alternative school. With your bully. If the bully, who is probably a football or basketball player, even makes it to the principal's office instead of being given the royal treatment for having a student oh so randomly attack him!
