Another thing not being considered by all the "judge doesn't know anything" crowd is that they're failing to consider that this case isn't really about search engines or Alphabet as a company.

It's about monopoly laws. In this case, pertaining to Google and Mozilla, but monopolies nonetheless.

She has no memories and got abducted as a child. Of course she has issues.

You know, it's really easy to look something like this up and determine that you're incorrect.

A majority of Americans favor moving away from the electoral college

A surprise to everyone except anybody who listened to American intelligence agencies who were broadcasting (very loudly I might add) exactly when and how it would happen.

Severe anxiety and PTSD can qualify as disabilities, and therefore can have a service animal.

A service animal is trained to perform a specific task that allows a person with a disability to perform normal daily activities. For PTSD and anxiety this action can be (but isn't limited to) detecting the onset of a panic attack and providing direct physical stimulation/grounding.

An emotional support animal is one that isn't trained for a task and whose presence makes the person with a disabling condition better (e.g. someone with anxiety is generally less anxious with their cat around).

ESA's are not protected under the Americans with Disabilities Act (or equivalent in most other countries) while service animals are.

Also, a service animal can be any type of dog. Yes, even a pug can be a service animal if it is trained to do a task. No, training does not have to be done by an expensive service.

Between lemmy.world and sync having issues I almost went on reddit. Then I remembered this is the fediverse, jerboa and lemm.ee exist and I'm back and more active than ever.

I start paying local news after about 1 article per day, and usually more like $20/month not the £10 they're asking for.

Pay up or stop expecting them to give you unlimited service for free.

Hell, I'm paying my local union paper $25/month to support their strike against their corporation and I hardly read their stuff at all.

Hmm I think you've convinced m-... wait a minute

Think of lemmy as like an email (except everyone can see it). You have an email address "steakfries" and the domain you registered your email on "@lemmy.one" so if I want to email you I have to enter in @steakfries@lemmy.one

I can "email" you from any domain, be it Gmail, yahoo, my own server, etc and you can likewise respond.
