The concession Disney wants is Reedy Creek back under their control, and DeSantis will look even weaker than he already does if he pushes to reverse the law that took it from them in the first place.

He can't, and won't, concede anything, because if the court rules in Disney's favor he can at least blame the judiciary for the decision, so Disney won't, and shouldn't, stop hitting him with everything they got.

Yeah, like what do they expect? Another foreign military intervention?

That will not happen again for decades at best. Longer if all the developed nations really learn from America's mistake this time.

Sure, we can sanction them, but any aid just gets intercepted, so that's out. It sucks so many Afghans are suffering under the system, but it's the system they let happen. Did they want to be an occupied country forever? Was this a fight America was expected to wage indefinitely? Twenty years was already too long.

• i know it is wrong but i dont know how to fix it

Get off Lemmy and go back to your elementary school English class?

I assume it's just the pace, but overall there's plenty of reasons to be frustrated.

There's already talk about how some of these cases might not be resolved until after the election, at which point, depending on how it goes, could be extremely problematic.

It feels frustrating because it's mid-2023, and we may "run out of time" by end of 2024. People ask what the fuck was happening for 2.5 years? The reality of course is justice is not always, nor necessarily should be swift, and getting these investigations even started takes time to say nothing of collecting evidence and putting together a case. But also, 20 years ago even a single criminal indictment probably would have spelled the end of a Presidential campaign, and instead, Trump is successfully fundraising off of these charges and leading the polls.

It's all just bonkers.

Lol, going out to eat hardly makes one a consumerist bootlicker. It's a service industry anyway, you're not buying goods.

The issue isn't bars or restaurants, it's tipping culture and fair wages, which are problematic everywhere. Might as well ban all video games, due to poor worker treatment and the methods some games use to extract money from players.

I mean, you're the one claiming dumb Americans can't pronounce English.

Caveat is a noun. It's a really old word, literally from ancient Latin meaning "let him beware." Basically a warning, often noting that while something may seem great, there is often a notable problem.

A carve out is a simple compound, and typically a verb, but can be used as a noun as seen above. It notes an exception (typically to a policy, practice, or law), often one specifically framed to benefit a specific group, at the expense of others.

For example: "Congress' new law creates strong regulations for CO2 emissions, but before you get excited, there's one caveat: there are carve outs for automotive manufacturers, who won't have to abide by those regulations until 2030."

I can stop drinking coffee at any time.

... but why would I, when it's legal and easily available?

Just like pot in my state, in the back.

The difference is "We don't want to raise the listed prices on our menu."

No, because the difference of seeing a $19.99 price versus a $20.00 price is that I see it up front. That's more honest than tacking on a $21.50 hidden fee after the fact.

Lol, sure. Those of us who have friends and want to hang out will instead just stay and eat at home on the weekends like anti-social hermits.

Given that the AMD vulnerability was called "Inception," maybe they just like using movie titles to name CPU vulnerabilities?

This is why restaurants seal their to-go bags now.

Haven't had a thing go missing since the pandemic, when that practice became common place.
