Far too many people simply hate children for existing

Neighbor blasts an ultrasonic device audible and painful only to children whenever they pass on the public sidewalk.

Was riding bikes with my daughter and a friend to school this morning. We passed a house and they both started yelling, "Ow! It hurts my ears." Really strange, right? Then I hear a voice play through a speaker who says, "If it hurts your ears, ride your bikes somewhere else!"

Now I'm angry. Literally doing nothing but riding bikes to school, probably one of the most wholesome activities a person could imagine, and...I can't even get my brain around it.

It's apparently not loud, but it is tuned to a frequency higher than I can hear. If it's low enough for my children to hear it, it's going to be almost useless as an animal deterrent. It is specifically designed to cause pain to humans and serves no other purpose.

How is this legal?

Honestly the biggest bang for the buck to fight misinformation before the midterms would probably be from increased funding to the Ukrainian armed forces so they can target more Russian data centers.. Ukraine needs to be sending Act Blue emails... old.reddit.com/r/ukraine/co...

Right now, Yandex's biggest services are down: taxis, delivery, and Alisa. Moscow is paralyzed; it's impossible to order a taxi. Orders aren't going through.

I’m not sure if it’s true or not, but this is supposedly one of Target’s highest-grossing locations in the entire US, and that $ is mostly coming from working-class and immigrants’ wallets. Target letting ICE stage there is morally appalling and another shitty business decision

This is a moral atrocity and it needs to be loudly condemned as such. There is a reason that democracies *don't* do publicly televised executions (and why many don't execute people at all): it inculcates and rewards bloodthirst, which corrupts the spirit and corrodes the foundation of the polity.

Is there space for "Well, actually, Arab Citizens of Israel are by default exempted from IDF service, and also, there's a history of (punished) civil disobedience due to selective refusal to serve in the IDF?" I know these discussions don't encourage nuance, but wiki links ~= community notes?
