You realize you just literally asked, "Why can't transphobes not be transphobic?"

Now you've gotten your inventory counts off. There's also a (marginal) cost difference between the two size cartons. Of course, this needs to be balanced against customer satisfaction- there will be a non-zero number of customers who won't want the upsell or to buy an alternative item, and so the question is how much business would you lose vs how much money you'd make offset with the extra time and corporate headache of reconciling inventory?

Not that Sonic shouldn't do this, just throwing out some real-world considerations.

Someone pointed out to me that the majority of what we consider "good" SCOTUS decisions came from the Warren court. Nearly every other case you could name you only know because of its detrimental effect on American progress. In that light, Roberts is just course-correcting SCOTUS: a branch of the government that historically keeps citizens from being too free.

4 in 10 Americans say SCOTUS makes decisions based on ideology instead of the law, but they're cool with that because it's their ideology too.

Do you have any idea how little that narrows it down?

In a civilized country, this would not be a political question, but, rather, a medical one.

You're talking about abortion, right?

No, it's birth control, isn't it?

No, I've got it this time- you're talking about trans care!

[-] billiam0202@lemmy.world 27 points 2 days ago

This is still bullshit.

"Emergency abortions" still give the forced-birthers too much leeway to decide when the mother's life is at risk. A woman should not literally be septic and her organs shutting down before she gets the care she needs.

Panem et circenses, baby!

As long as people are kept fed and entertained, they will tolerate a lot of bullshit.

Yes, yes I did. That doesn't change anything I said. You've only repeated his claims (which his complaint can say literally anything), we don't have Mozilla's side, and he shouldn't be saying a word about this suit to the press.

Any decent lawyer will tell you to shut the fuck up once you've filed a suit, so as I see it there are three possible scenarios here:

  1. He's too stupid to listen to his lawyers.
  2. His lawyers are too stupid to advise him to shut up.
  3. They're trying a public pressure campaign against Mozilla to get Mozilla to capitulate before their case goes too far. They're hoping that the headlines of "Mozilla hates cancer patients!" will cause enough bad press that Mozilla will want to get the case over with quicker by settling sooner, especially if Teixiera doesn't have a very strong case.

Yeah, I'm gonna wait a bit before bringing out the pitchforks.

A plaintiff in a civil suit can allege anything they want, but that doesn't mean they're being 100% truthful. Any lawyer will slant the facts as much as possible to make their client look as injured as they can to garner the most sympathy- that's just lawyering 101. We have his version of events but don't have Mozilla's, but the fact that he's publicly shit-talking the company (rather than let the legal process play out) doesn't cast him in a good light IMO.
