World News@lemmy.ml•‘It sounded relentless’: American in Bahrain describes days of drone and missile attacks

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•How bad would something have to be if 99% of the outcomes are good and 1% of the outcomes were disastrous before society banned that thing?
41·3 days agoDiscussing a ban and imposing restrictions in some jurisdictions is not what I would describe as “banned by society” especially when the deleterious health effects affect everyone exposed regardless of jurisdiction.
Also one jurisdiction banning something doesn’t mean it just isn’t available. I can go on eBay right now and buy asbestos brake pads even though they’re technically getting phased out in my country. Airplanes the world over continue to use leaded gas and plastic bottles are available (almost) everywhere. That doesn’t seem very “banned by society” to me.

World News@lemmy.world•The horror story at Beit Shemesh where an Iranian missile evaded Israel's formidable defencesEnglish
28·3 days agoCrazy how, when you forget what constitutes a valid military target when antagonizing a majority of your neighbors, your neighbors might forget what makes a valid military target too.
Almost like the very concept of valid military targets exists to protect civilian life during conflict.

32·3 days agoAsbestos, leaded gas, plastics, forever chemicals, alcohol, and cigarettes are still used extensively and are far from getting banned by society.

3·3 days agoNot exactly the same thing between the positive and negative outcomes, but we still use nuclear processes for energy generation and medical treatments even though our nuclear bombs can level cities.
So, yeah, it’d have to be worse than potentially killing 9 million people with ease (and potentially everyone in the resulting MAD race).
Realistically if something threatens the bank accounts of the elites it’ll be banned regardless of its societal or individual benefits.

News@lemmy.world•Cybertruck owner sues Tesla for more than $1m after Houston Autopilot crash
464·4 days agoElon Musk is an aggressive and irresponsible salesman," the plaintiff said. "Who has a long history of making dangerous design choices, and overpromising features of his products.
Has been since before the cyber truck and he still bought one. Seems like a him problem.

politics @lemmy.world•Trump’s unprovoked attack on Iran has no mandate – or legal basis
33·4 days agoIt is not entirely clear what transformed Trump from a peace president to a war president, but there are clues.
He was never a peace president.
Also this kid loves regime changes, maybe he should get one he’ll never forget.

A Boring Dystopia@lemmy.world•Trans people in Kansas are being ordered to surrender their drivers licenses
20·6 days agoThey just effectively expired all trans Kansan drivers licenses. If they want to drive or use their drivers licenses as an ID they need to pay about $30 to get a new one.
Edit: Of course, this benefits no one. It is a blatant attempt to harass and discriminate against a vulnerable minority population.
This, of course, does nothing to resolve a hung task because the computer is off to the side.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Can a reasonable person genuinely believe in ghosts?
3·7 days agoLike right after Charlie got Kirked Christians started sharing AI videos of him talking about forgiveness and shit.
Glenn Beck is making a “George AI” and Prager U in partnership with the White House are making Founding Father AI systems to lie to children about history and Christianity.
Horrifyingly there’s also HearAfter Ai.

politics @lemmy.world•US congressman refuses to resign after allegations of affair with staffer
15·7 days agoThe PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES is a pedophile. He raped kids. The bar is buried below the floor. While I’d like my politicians to be held to a better standard, what reason does this guy have to actually resign?
Is this the childless man who showed up to daycare centers with cameras and men in masks and then cried to the MAGA world when they like didn’t let a strange childless man who showed up with cameras and masked men in to film the children?
Which somehow captured the attention of the pedophile president who also didn’t realize that it’s not appropriate for childless men with cameras and masks to demand to be allowed entry to a daycare to film the children thereby leading to the current ICE invasion in MN and the deaths of multiple people?

Cynical take: Dead Americans fuel war fervor in the name of revenge potentially boosting his ratings in a back-ass stupid way
Realist take: They aren’t him
