Hot take, but with so many actual sexual assailants and literal pedophiles in the world, I will just never be able to give two shits about what Leo does or does not do with other legal consenting adults, sorry.
Forced Arbitration should absolutely be illegal. Here's an article on the topic if you've never thought about it before:

Human breast milk is the only naturally occurring food specifically designed for human consumption.
I'm waiting for somebody brave enough to promote the all-breast milk diet.
Fucking bonkers. Between this an McD's changing their ToS to say using their app waives any right to non-arbitration dispute, something needs to be done about companies trying to effectively write new laws into their ToS. This shit is beyond egregious
Not trying to start anything, and if this is the wrong place to post about it I apologize, I'm not sure where else to broach the topic, but as a user I've noticed an enormous increase is moderator action today and I'm curious if there was some catalyst that the userbase should be aware of. Prior to today, the modlog shows only a few mod actions most days, and previous entire months can fit within one screenview. Furthermore, most of those actions were locking posts or removing and reprimanding specific offending comments. Yet today there is an entire wave of moderator actions, including such vague notes as "Troll Post" on meme posts with significant engagement.
I promise I'm not trying to start drama, I am just concerned as I love Lemmy and want to see it and the community thrive, and I am concerned about the same issues that plague Reddit could potentially find their way here.
That said, I also understand this isn't a democracy, so if the reply is simply "that's how it is," I guess I'm going to just shrug and accept it.
So what I'm reading is a truck driver can invite as many guests as they want to shower with them there, so long as none of those guests are also truck drivers.
Weird rules for the orgy shower, but who am I to judge?
This is just a quiet part out loud thing again. Remember, to most American evangelicals, anything less than a devotion to evangelical Christianity is satanism. It's a binary thing to them, so whether you're actually Jewish, or Hindu, or atheist, or whatever, it doesn't matter; if you aren't American evangelical Christian, then you are Satanist. I'm not being hyperbolic, this is a core tenet of American evangelical Christianity.
The sad thing is what they really miss is reasonable restrictions on industry and capitalism, a viable chance to support a family on a single full-time salary, and upward mobility, but rather than getting mad at the greedy capitalist assholes that have stolen these things from them, instead they let these exact same greedy assholes trick them into thinking that minorities and disempowered peoples are somehow the ones stifling progress.
The yearning for better days isn't inherently wrong, it's the conclusions they draw where they go astray.
I've been to Mexico like 6 times.
The first 5 times were all excellent trips, wonderful places, wonderful people.
The sixth time, we were all literally robbed by Mexican police officers at the airport who claimed we couldn't leave the country without paying an "exit tax" of $200 USD each, and told us we either paid and got on our flight home or we didn't pay and they took us to prison.
I don't go back to Mexico now.
Just a reminder that Dilbert creator Scott Adams is a racist conservative bigot
Snapping half the life forms also snaps half of the world's gut bacteria. If we removed half of the gut bacteria from those who weren't snapped, that would be removing 75% of the universe's gut bacteria, not 50%.
Why are we infantilizing adults? Interpersonal relationships are complex and nuanced; we can acknowledge and even warn against the potential dangers of severe age-gap relationships without insulting the autonomy and choices of those involved. These neo-puritanical bullshit tendencies creeping in on the left needs to stop; it's a trojan horse for the next generation of conservatives. Reject non-nuanced conservative-bate thinking.
Goodbye fellow users of the best Lemmy instance. Lemm.ee, you will be missed.
