US airlines are suing the Biden administration over a new rule to make certain fees easier to spot ( apnews.com )

U.S. airlines are suing to block the Biden administration from requiring greater transparency over fees that the carriers charge their passengers, saying that a new rule would confuse consumers by giving them too much information during the ticket-buying process....

Why should you be allowed to advertise the price without the tax. Companies should already knock the applicable tax rate when they write these ads and could easily advertise "$x.99, $y.99 with tax".

Fair enough. The statement in the middle is indeed made from the point of view of a fictional ketamine-consuming character only created for this particular meme.

Here in Germany, drinking water isn't fluoridated but fluoridated salt is sold at every grocery store. I assume that fluoridated salt isn't as easily available to those in the US who could now end up without fluoridated water, is it?

We've got both iodine and fluoride in our salt in Germany.

[Serious] Why do so many people seem to hate veganism?

Seen a lot of posts on Lemmy with vegan-adjacent sentiments but the comments are typically very critical of vegan ideas, even when they don't come from vegans themselves. Why is this topic in particular so polarising on the internet? Especially since unlike politics for example, it seems like people don't really get upset by it...

Some people feel judged for eating meat if they learn that you're a vegetarian or vegan. As veganism appears more extreme, it causes a stronger reaction.
These people don't like being judged, so they seek to judge you instead. If they can judge you for not eating meat, you can't judge them for eating it, or so they feel.
Some vegans being quite obnoxious in their attempts to convert others, doesn't improve things. Rather, it helps those who dislike vegans to reaffirm their beliefs that all vegans are silently judging them all the time.
All of this is just my theory.

You could pass legislation that requires corporations not to do harmful activities in other countries if these activities are illegal in your country. If a corporation does such an activity abroad it would still be prosecuted as a crime in your country. If a corporation doesn't want to subject itself to such accountability, it would have to stop doing business in your country.

One could question why a German-Chinese man who's supposedly a critic of the PRC government, can freely travel between Germany and China without facing arrest. Instead of, you know, employing him and giving him access to the European Parliament. But what do I know.

I'm not from the US but I think it's to enable compromise.

Some lawmakers (group A) don't want to support either a TikTok ban or aid for Ukraine. Other lawmakers (group B) want a TikTok ban and are willing to support aid for Ukraine, even if they don't like it that much. A third group of lawmakers (group C) wants aid for Ukraine and is willing to support a TikTok ban, even if they don't like it that much.

No group is big enough to pass anything on its own. Therefore, group B and C agree to work together to pass both a TikTok ban and aid for Ukraine.

They could pass two laws, one banning TikTok and one providing aid to Ukraine. But they don't trust each other. If the TikTok ban was passed first with the votes of both groups, group B could betray group C afterwards and not support aid for Ukraine. If aid for Ukraine was passed first, it would be the other way round.

Therefore, group B and C bundle TikTok ban and aid for Ukraine together into a single law. Now, neither group can betray the other.

In reality, the situation is obviously more complicated. There are more than just three groups and there are additional things included in the deal like military aid for Israel and Taiwan and humanitarian aid for Palestine.

Local Child Fails to Grasp “Yes, and” Improv Principle, Bores Playmates ( lemmy.world )

In a stunning display of comedic ineptitude, a local child has been found to be exceptionally bad at improv during his playtime with friends. The seven year old child, whose name has been withheld to protect his identity, has been reported to consistently fail at the fundamental concept of “yes, and,” leaving his playmates...

I'm not a native English speaker. What does "Yes, and" mean? I'm totally lost.

You might not know it, but catapults were originally invented to deliver ads across long distances. Only later was their usefulness for warfare discovered.
After the invention of the airship, catapults became obsolete for advertising. They continued to be used though in the trenches of World War I.
