I agree. The right to a speedy trial not being observed is an issue.

This is only local jails, which makes sense as people are waiting trial then move on to long term prison.

The increase should be capped at inflation. Currently mine go up 10% every year. I pay more in tax than I ever paid in rent. I’ll have to buy a tent in another decade at this rate.

This is why voting needs to be really easy. If a phone app/website is good enough for banking, it is good enough for voting.

They’d be starving after waiting for 3 days.

And there is a service fee!

It happened to me at the urologist. They were taking the piss!

Shutting every complaint down with ‘racist’, ‘fascist’, ‘nazi’ etc. is why far right parties are rising. It is time to stop acting like middle schoolers and allow people to voice concerns and have debate, lest they vote far right as the only alternative. Nobody wants that.

There is no need for a separate sound card now, it is built in.

If a reply to you is non federated, then you get a notification you can neither clear nor read. That little ‘1’ will be there forever.

Its main asset is its name, and he changed it. What a moron!

It would be easier to allow you to fully block the 2 instances it comes from.

Local mass transit should be free. It is already really heavily subsidized, often almost entirely subsidized, so it wouldn’t cost as much as you think.

It’s about time the ad hosts, like google and Facebook, are found liable for all this nonsense in a class action.

A lot of ads should be banned for environmental reasons alone. From junk mail, lit up signs, eyesore billboards, and all the power wasted in digital ads.

It would be nice if you could block a community directly from the front page without having to navigate to it first. Whole instances would also be useful.

“With a population of 60 million in the late 18th century, the species was culled down to just 541 animals by 1889 as part of the subjugation of the Native Americans,”

From USDA

“There are 30.1 million beef cows in the United States as of Jan. 1, 2022, down 2% from last year.Jan 31, 2022”

It was a factor of 2, not 3.

Note: the dairy industry is much worse.

It largely depends on the way the meat is produced.

You may have beef that is corn fed so you use all the energy of multiple times more corn production and transport to feed them vs. just eating the corn.

Or you may have ranched grass fed beef that eats grass in a field that required nothing other than a fence. No plowing, destroying soil with pesticides and running heavy machinery. A few hundred years ago there were 3 times more roaming bison than there are cows in the US today, so gas isn’t really an issue.

Best reason to go cut down on meat is for health reasons. And be careful of where your meat is sourced.

Correction: it is a factor of 2 not 3. See reply for source.
