I’m not familiar with this specific legal system but how can a rape be tried as a civil matter?

Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•Boomers with their loud Samsung phone soundsEnglish
412·1 year agoYes but it isn’t only boomers. Teenagers do this all the time in public transport (usually watching loud videos) and they don’t have any excuses like for example being half deaf or not knowing how to mute their phone. It is one of the reasons why I prefer driving. I don’t want to have an argument with some stupid shit every time I get on the metro.

Technology@lemmy.world•Kids Are Watching Brain Melting AI-Generated Videos on YouTube Without Parents RealizingEnglish
727·2 years agoI see this as a parenting failure, honestly. You’re not supposed to just let your kid watch whatever without supervision IMHO. If you can’t control what your kids watch, don’t give them iPads!
automaton@lemmy.worldtoReddit@lemmy.ml•Reddit sent me invitations to their IPO to my "deleted" accounts! That's a GDPR violation!
42·2 years agoDoes the GDPR still apply to the UK after Brexit? I thought it was a EU law.
Yeah but I think the point is that users should have a choice, then of course they are free to choose whatever they like - in your case Edge.

People are savages. We are still not much different than chimps, we just look more civilized now.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What's a scam that's so normalized that we don't even realize it's a scam anymore?
41·3 years agoCash is used to buy most illegal shit. Which doesn’t mean we should abolish cash. And if you can’t see the risks in governments and corporations tracking every little expense of yours, well you have a very low threat model. But don’t assume that anonymous transactions and tools are only useful to criminals, because minorities, journalists and whistleblowers use them every day to avoid prosecution under authoritarian governments.

World News@lemmy.ml•Latin America Again Refuses to Fall In Line With the Collective West on Ukraine, This Time from Brussels
1·3 years agoSad. I am with Chile’s president on this. His words:
In this place, the situation in Ukraine has been under discussion. I think it is important that those of us from Latin America say clearly: what is happening in Ukraine is an unacceptable war of imperial aggression where international law is being violated… I understand that the joint declaration is blocked today because some do not want to say that the war is against Ukraine. Dear colleagues, today it is Ukraine, but tomorrow it could be any of us.
Also, I found the article took a very deliberate stand against the “Collective West”. People at Naked Capitalism might not like the collective west (whatever it means) but this doesn’t change the fact that the only countries not condemning Russia for its war of aggression are China, various dictatorships scattered here and there and South America, for selfish geopolitical reasons.
And also, let’s stop gaslighting readers about NATO and its expansion to justify Russia’s invasion. Countries have all the rights to prepare to defend themselves, and this does not justify their neighbors to attack them on their soil.
Who decides what constitutes surplus?




They can vote though…
