Sweeping Bill Introduced by Ron Wyden (D) Would Completely Overhaul Supreme Court as We Know It
  • and require two-thirds of the Supreme Court and federal circuit courts of appeals to overturn any law passed by Congress

    Netanyahu would be proud.

    Was Ron Wyden not usually one of the few forces for good in relation to internet bills, like SOPA and such? Now he's proposing something like this.

    The other things mentioned in the article are unobjectionable, some of them even good, but this?!

  • Why isn't apple a popular ice cream flavor?
  • Where do you live? Where I live (Austria), apple ice cream is maybe not 100% universally available at all ice cream vendors, but common enough that I have no problems getting it if I want to.

  • Domino's or Pizza Hut?
  • Pizza Hut doesn't exist in my country, Domino's does. I've eaten at both in other countries and prefer Pizza Hut, but I prefer independent pizza restaurants to either of them.

  • Nach Chaos im Thüringer Landtag: Innenminister Maier für ein Verbotsverfahren gegen die AfD
  • Ich war bisher ganz grundsätzlich skeptisch gegenüber dem Konzept der wehrhaften/streitbaren Demokratie (und aufgrund dessen auch von Parteiverboten) eingestellt. Erst recht, wenn schon "Fremdenfeindlichkeit" für ein Parteiverbot reichen sollte.

    Ich denke, für solche Fälle, wo einfach Vorsitzende von Parlamenten sich weigern, ihren verfassungs- und geschäftsordnungsmäßigen Pflichten nachzugehen, muss es aber irgendeine Möglichkeit geben, dagegen etwas zu tun, denn sonst ist die Demokratie wirklich in Gefahr.

    Are there any occupations you uniquely oppose the existence of?
  • no, we are posting to a community on lemmy.ml here, that link points to a community hosted on lemmy.world (as displayed on lemmy.ml)

    idc because neither of those is my instance, I subscribe to communities regardless of what instance they're hosted on

  • Are there any occupations you uniquely oppose the existence of?
  • I'm not sure I do, but one thing I haven't seen mentioned here yet is consumer psychologists. I once read an argument that they could be improving people's mental health, instead they are working on manipulating people into buying more.

  • Languages
  • oddly enough those also correspond approximately to how well I (native German speaker) know each of these languages; but why is there a stereotype that us Python devs and Esperantists need to shower more? :(

    Amazon, Tesla and Meta among world’s top companies undermining democracy – report
  • The report cites Meta, the largest social media company in the world, for its vast role in permitting and enabling far-right propaganda and movements to use its platforms to grow members and garner support in the US and abroad.

    yeah allowing free flow of information is bad for democracy...

    in what kind of bizarro world do we live nowadays anyway
