Then like I said, don't call yourself world and continue to promote yourself as the authoritative instance. This instance is the the default for all the mobile apps.

Being happy that a man responsible for the deaths of thousands is an "American Centric View" now.

And don't call yourself "world" if you cannot reasonably accommodate a wide rage of views. Call yourself "Dutch" and make your limitations clear.

You world sycophants want the benefits of being the authoritative instance without the responsibility.

It's an American story, effecting 100's of millions of Americans directly. So no, not this this time. See a therapist to work out all this reflexive anti Americaism

Too late, I'm already out the door. You assume no one understands the nuances of hosting in a country without free speech laws as liberal as the US.

The truth is most people do. Your moderators' histrionic response was so obviously from a place of emotion, and can recall numerous times your mods have allowed speech that was similar but didn't act because they weren't personally offended.

I think you fail to understand that your audience is international. That you let your moderators power trip not from an abundance of caution but because it's more convenient for you.

Was the CEO drinking? Might have brought it on himself.

Bro you're not some profound thinker. People understand it could be for another reason. But what little details we have, use of a silencer, waited for that specific person, points to it not being. Regardless it's still karmic justice what ever the real reason is.

[–] SeattleRain 9 points 2 months ago

Yeah bro that's totally what you meant which is why you didn't express these reservations until now but did morally admonish anyone that celebrated and even threw in some veiled threats about being banned for inciting violence.

[–] SeattleRain 7 points 2 months ago

And the usual normal reasonable line regarding violent rhetoric is plausible threats of violence. And hate speech is defined usually as hatred toward a marginalized group of a protected class. I.e. we know exactly what hate speech is, we don't have broad definitions that you can apply surreptitiously after the fact to people like billionaire or police.

 

I have to post this here because the mods at news and politics are censoring discourse on this news.

EPA watchdog: Undeserving Florida getting millions for lead pipe replacement while Illinois, other states have bigger needs

Summary

Florida is set to receive nearly $1 billion in federal funds to replace lead service lines, despite lacking significant need, according to an EPA inspector general report.

The state falsely claimed to have 1.1 million lead pipes, a figure disputed by its own utilities.

Meanwhile, states like Illinois, with over 400,000 lead pipes in Chicago alone, are underfunded despite having far greater needs.

Critics urge the EPA to reallocate funds, as lead exposure causes severe health risks.
