Today I Learned
What did you learn today? Share it with us!
We learn something new every day. This is a community dedicated to informing each other and helping to spread knowledge.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must begin with TIL. Linking to a source of info is optional, but highly recommended as it helps to spark discussion.
** Posts must be about an actual fact that you have learned, but it doesn't matter if you learned it today. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.**
Rule 2- Your post subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your post subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding non-TIL posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-TIL posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Looks like nothing came from this.. yet?
This is why all of the interclass hatred and debates are stupid at the end of the day. When that's you, are you really gonna care that you died beside a Tankie or a Confederate supporter? We're slowly getting worse, while the rich literally let us die to save a couple million pounds.
What the fuck is that question? No, I won't care when I'm dying, I will care every other time, though. And as surprising as it may be, I'm more often not dying than I am dying.
So I do and will care about an idiot who wants to steal the precious few little freedoms we actually have to support their red fash wet dream which will never actually work because it would be stupid little greedy fucks like them running things.
I'm having trouble recognising which one you're describing.
Given that both of your examples are commonly authoritarian if not outright fascist in ideology, I’m not exactly sure they’re too interested in class solidarity?
Glad you can grandstand but “you and the inbred moron who voted for the people who enabled things to get this bad are both getting dicked, so you should accept their opinions as respectable” is not the slam dunk argument you think it is.
I mean, they're a tankie.
I'm not surprised
All of these types are the ones who think they're going to be running the show. The end goal is just power to them, everyone likes to joke that people just think they're future millionaires, while these types just think they're future leaders getting to send their enemies to death camps.
OSHA sent them to court in January, which, well, is court, so it goes long I guess
So at most they'll get a couple million in fines that the company had already budgeted for.
The report says that's because they could not find evidence to attribute the charge to any person, and figureheads cannot be imprisoned just for a crime of their company in the primitive laws of this very small island country in the Caribbean, since nothing like this has happened in that country before, apparently. The report is sort of "exploiting" the existing rule that corporations may be accused as perpetrators to accommodate for the punishment of this crime to actually be able to convict and punish; the charge of "corporate manslaughter" has never happened before either. c.f. https://hfpsc.org/corporate-homicide-manslaughter/
