Thanks for correcting the record. In that case I think I was mislead and misinformed by the airline. This keeps getting more interesting. So far, they have broken all of the rules: didn’t properly inform me that I will be denied boarding, didn’t call for volunteers, didn’t give me any information about compensation, didn’t provide any written statements and now misleading “information”. Not feeling very protected right now.

The crux of the matter is that these “consumer protect laws” often release the party with the most leverage from liability i.e. they protect the party with the most leverage from ever being held accountable for doing something really damaging to the other party. And their justification for this, is giving you a pittance as compensation.

How you do it is by simply retaining liability for damages caused, i.e. by not trying to short circuit the justice system.

Do you know what happens when the airline does not follow even the laws that are there on the books in their favour? In that case you are first advised to seek justice from a private arbitration court, i.e. they are again trying to avoid the actual legal system. Seems like a pattern.

As I already said, the job of the courts is to determine just financial compensation.

Her voting record is public for all to read.

Unnecessary pedantry. There are clearly cases where being denied boarding and a delayed flight will result in financial losses of upwards of whatever pittance they give you in exchange. And the court system is there precisely to calculate the actual incurred financial loss, and the law protects the corporations from this liability.

I find meeting people at all to be the biggest hurdle.

It’s basically fanfiction. What’s the difference between Kamala Harris and Harry Potter?

I don’t really trust Buttigieg not to be a sell out, but of all the ones being named, he’s the one with the rhetorical chops to stand up to Trump. But maybe Trump will flat out refuse a second debate.

He subscribes to a branch of neo-reactionary politics coined “dark enlightenment” that basically rejects liberalism. In short, these fine fellows believe that we should be their literal serfs in a neo-feudal society. I think point for point, their ideology is even more fucked up than fascism.

Maybe it was a baby monitor?

I think the west made up a narrative about postwar Germany and that narrative is now being exposed.

Immigrant who lives in Germany here. This post is a bunch of lies. On this topic there are a lot of politically motivated astroturfers who take over whole comment sections to push their false narratives.

I destroy AI. I’m basically the terminator.

I wanted to be a game programmer. 15 years on, I haven’t touched a video game in over a decade, and I find them pretty boring.

OK, but all of this is only relevant if you believe Biden in his current state is able to win against Trump. The people who want Biden out believe that Biden stands no chance.

OK, I come from southern Europe and this will blow some people’s minds, but sometimes we have bland food on purpose. Especially after a week of eating grease/spicy foods.

American Catholicism might as well be a new Protestant sect. Catholicism does not really work like this. And the last three points don’t really fit in with Catholic social teaching. I think the article should make clear that this “Catholicism” is really a subset of American Catholics and nothing more. Nothing to do with the Vatican, the Pope, and the Catholics in Europe, Latin America and elsewhere. Also, generally the Church supported liberal political parties especially when the alternative was socialist/communist, so to say that Catholicism is against liberalism is incorrect.

Sorry, but you’re not going to get von der Leyen and Metsola to “tax the rich”.

Plus, I don’t trust any of those people to tax the real rich, but I could easily see them levy a new tax on us.

A classmate said that they collaborated on a project on JFK’s assassination and he was obsessed with the topic. I think he just wanted the infamy. Also it is pretty clear to me at this point that there was no strong political motive. He left no manifesto and did not even have any extensive political history on his devices.

Forgive the FoxNews link but this video is the best I found: https://www.foxnews.com/video/6358301112112

The moment I installed it, yay broke. To fix it, if any of you need this: do an ln -s to the .so that is being requested. This allows yay to work again. Use yay to upgrade yay. Finally remove the symbolic link.
