Welcome to the News community!

Rules:

1. Be civil


Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.


2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.


Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.


Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.


5. Only recent news is allowed.


Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.


6. All posts must be news articles.


No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.


7. No duplicate posts.


If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.


8. Misinformation is prohibited.


Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.


9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.


All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.


10. Don't copy entire article in your post body


For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

Summary

Costco’s board rejected a shareholder proposal to end its diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) policies, arguing they foster respect, innovation, and cultural alignment with customers and employees.

Shareholders claimed DEI could lead to lawsuits citing "illegal discrimination" against white, Asian, male, or straight employees, referencing legal cases like Students for Fair Admissions v. Harvard.

Costco countered that its DEI efforts comply with the law and enhance its culture, rejecting claims of legal risk.

The proposal will be voted on at Costco's January 23 shareholder meeting.

For as long as you're alive anyway.

Or until someone Luigi's them during a progressive's term. Not that that will ever happen. The progressive term, not the other thing.

We're moving to a future where the elite will live in a fortified city where only the rich and elite can enter, while the plebs live outside the walls and luigi is just a plumber.

If that happens, AVALANCHE won't be far behind. Barrett, Tifa, and their friends will infiltrate and terrorize their cities till they stop killing the planet.

Some strifes call for more of a Cloud than a Luigi

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

In our reality, Luigi seems to be an awful lot like Cloud Strife. He's certainly swinging around a massive ~~sword~~ popular clout.

Edit: FUCK... I just made an argument for Kingdom Hearts to exist.

Going on vacation to a world with toon physics, don't ask why I'm bringing lube and a bicycle pump.

Going to visit Goofy or Wile E Coyote?

So back to castles and seiges

But this time, the bricks are filled with coins!

We already have gated communities for the wealthy...

[–] NotMyOldRedditName@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Too small scale.

California entirely walled off. Anyone outside the walls in poverty. Anyone inside the walls, the equivalent of a decamillionaire or more. Nothing in between.

Edit: Throw in NYC on the other coast so the wealthy have a choice of coast.

My kids will be suffering from these policies long after I'm gone.

It takes a long time to rebuild systems and protections.

And very little time or effort to destroy them..
