blargerer@kbin.socialto World News@lemmy.world•Visitor to Taiwan hit with $9,000 fine over 'roast chicken and pork combo' lunch box131·1 year agoIf you travel internationally you really should scan a checklist for banned products. Especially around food and produce if you intend to bring any, there is always something on there.
blargerer@kbin.socialto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Should I permanently leave Israel?4·1 year agoYou need to do whats best for yourself, but it sounds like Israel would be a better place with your voice in it.
blargerer@kbin.socialto World News@lemmy.world•Taiwan’s new president takes office and calls on China to cease its hostile actions51·1 year agoA question for the Guardian, not OP. But some quick googling shows it being refereed to that way is common at least in English reporting. Not sure how its referenced in Taiwan.
blargerer@kbin.socialto Canada@lemmy.ca•Canada’s standard of living on track for worst decline in 40 years7·1 year agoI do think all levels of government have made some bad decisions that are unique to Canada, but yes they are. Our housing crisis is probably the worst example.
blargerer@kbin.socialto World News@lemmy.world•Iranian President Raisi feared dead as helicopter wreckage found | Reuters7·1 year agoProperly maintained helicopters are safe in safe weather. It was the weather that killed them here. Street traffic presents a lot of security concerns as well.
blargerer@kbin.socialto Canada@lemmy.ca•CBC has whitewashed Israel’s crimes in Gaza. I saw it firsthand ⋆ The Breach2·1 year agoThat’s one option. But when I’ve never heard of ‘The Breach’ I’d like to be able to look at this persons history to judge if they are as unbiased as they’d like the reader to believe.
blargerer@kbin.socialto Canada@lemmy.ca•CBC has whitewashed Israel’s crimes in Gaza. I saw it firsthand ⋆ The Breach81·1 year agoWeird to me that this was published under a pseudonym? Surely they’ve given enough details to be identifiable to CBC.
blargerer@kbin.socialto Privacy@lemmy.ml•Twitter/x.com is now forcing you to disable Firefox's Enhance Tracking Protection.8·1 year agoI just accepted I’m not getting the information now; but a whole bunch of small creators will basically only talk about their content and schedule on twitter. Like if something is going to be late, they are going on vacation or they are doing an extra stream or etc.
blargerer@kbin.socialto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Why Didn't Democrats Do More When They Controlled Both Houses of Legislature, The White House, and The Supreme Court During Obama's First Term?53·1 year agoThe question still stands, this just reframes it. He had a majority, just not a filibusterer proof one, so why are the Republicans so willing to remove the filibusterer when it gets in there way and the Democrats not?
blargerer@kbin.socialto News@lemmy.world•Teen who ate spicy tortilla chip died of high chile consumption and had a heart defect, autopsy says24·1 year agoIt being dangerous is extremely rare, and the extreme heat can give a pretty big endorphin rush.
blargerer@kbin.socialto News@lemmy.world•Supreme Court sides with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, spurning a conservative attack614·1 year agoI know there have been some sketchy instances or things that look like bribery (and may very well have been bribery) but in general I think people massively overstate the effects of bribery in politics. These people are crazy and believe the things they say, that’s why the money put them into the position they are in. This does mean that they do principled things all the time, the foundation of their beliefs is just fucked and incomprehensible to normal people.
blargerer@kbin.socialto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Why Are Rap*** & Ped** Protected In Jail?5·1 year agoI suspect you are just a troll as others have said, but in the case you aren’t;
It’s been shown for all crimes, that degree of punishment doesn’t really have much effect on deterrence. People tend to not know what the punishment for any given crime is, they tend to underestimate how likely they are to get caught, and when worrying about consequences they tend to worry about consequences they understand, like how their family or friends will react, not what living in prison for years will be like.
The justice system everywhere is fallible, protections for those in jail aren’t only for the absolutely guilty, they are for the innocent who are incorrectly incarcerated.
Killing someone wont undue what they’ve done. As horrific as it is, the trauma inflicted on someone can’t be undone. You are only putting more suffering into the world when you punish someone without tangible goals.
blargerer@kbin.socialto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•‘My whole library is wiped out’: what it means to own movies and TV in the age of streaming services6·1 year agoOther comments are wrong, its complicated residual structures on tv/movies.
blargerer@kbin.socialto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Self-hosted website for posting web novel/fiction2·1 year agoYou can probably throw together a pretty simple wordpress website without much knowledge. Just keep it mostly out of the box, maybe change the theme.
blargerer@kbin.socialto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•I'm so tired of hearing about US police brutality and China being authoritarian. Why does it feel like everyone is a hypocrite here? Where are the posts about Chinese protests and police brutality?5·1 year agoAs a Canadian, I do see reports of police violence in Canada, and I imagine I’m largely seeing the same stuff you are, so you’ve also likely seen some. With that said, police violence per interaction is a pretty low % everywhere (to be clear, it should be 0), but its like 10x higher in the US than other comparable countries, and the US has a huge population. Because of a combination of those factors I wouldn’t be shocked if like 90-95% of police violence happening in English speaking countries is happening in the US.
blargerer@kbin.socialto News@lemmy.world•Panera says it's phasing out its controversial Charged Lemonade nationwide72·1 year agoThe stuff was a good product imo, just horribly displayed/advertised. Now the brand for it is rightfully tarnished.
I’ve played plenty of games that would be worth 100+ easily. The problem for a studio pricing something at that though is they need some way to sell me on the game. A demo, or like, first party Nintendo quality reputation. Something. No way I pay that as a default for a piece of shit, which most things released are.
