Yeah. That was my point.

Depending on the interval and person, 11 shots of hard alcohol could literally kill you, no cars needed whatsoever. That is like 2/3rds a full 750ml bottle. I've seen a girl blackout, passout, and vomit all over herself from a slammed fifth.

Omaha, somewhere in middle America

It's the heart that matters more

I think you'd better turn your ticket in

And get your money back at the door

Save you a click: Walz doesn't practice vegetarianism like the author and the other 5% of the population of the US that does, so he's secretly evil.

They're not "acting" like it's nothing new. It is nothing new, and we've had large, nation-wide protests because of it.

Perhaps you've noticed how the majority of the responses here are some sarcastic version of "yeah, no shit"?

Most Americans are having enough kids. Just not white Americans. It's amazing how great replacement theory is just run-of-the-mill republican ideology these days.

It doesn't need a 4K screenshot. It needs enough data/metrics from any given single frame to run it through analytics and an algorithm to tailor ads. Backend surveillance like this isn't interested in fidelity to the human viewing experience. It needs identifying data. That can be had through a combination of low quality data scrapes done numerous times.

"Screenshot" is more like a metaphor here. Sort of like how your Apple or Google photos are "private," but the data and analytics taken from them you've given away. It's like if you told me I could look at all the photos on your phone and take as many notes and subject them to as much analysis as I wanted, but I promised not to actually physically keep your phone/photos. Probably makes you feel like your photos are securely still in your possession, but I got what I wanted. Your data is technically private, but my data about your data is mine.

Yeah because it doesn't matter. Republicans are a coin flip to win the house, win the presidency, and are already likely to win the senate. Why would they stop being awful?

Moral consternation on the left doesn't change the fact that half the country appreciates and endorses this kind of rhetoric. And the party that makes these comments is quite possibly going to run all three branches of government in a few months and already run the Supreme Court.

We're losing. In many respects, we've already lost. We're just going to lose more.

As this recently updated article discusses, while extremely unlikely, given the way this timeline is going it's possible the electoral college ends in a tie. Nate Silver projects this as a .3% possibility.

Things to think about:

  1. Only about half of the states require their electors to vote for the person that won their state. Who are the electors? Generally no one you know.

  2. If there's a tie, the House elects a president and the Senate elects a VP. Sub-consideration: it is the composition of the House and Senate after the November election that makes those determinations.

  3. This would all technically be decided on January 6th. And you remember how that went last time.

Regardless, it's highly unlikely this will happen. Still, this would be utter and complete madness. There is literally a non-zero chance we have a Trump/Harris administration. 🤣

Why are knife control laws so strong in the United States as opposed to gun control?

I was realizing it would be nice to have a knife with auto opening for boxes, etc., basically a switch blade or similar, and I found out that they are super illegal in my state (and/or there are length restrictions, or both sides of the blade can't be sharp, etc), but I can go into a sporting goods store and buy a pistol and ammo in under 30min.

Shooting open an Amazon box seems inefficient. What is up with restrictive knife-control laws??

Ok, so obviously no one here has done anything to make this world what it is. Wall Street, corporations, and racist social structures are why the world is how it is, and that is just the truth.

I don't understand why I should feel bad about anything when obviously all of these rich assholes and structures of oppression exist. I didn't make them.

Until the corporations and wealthy people change, why should I feel guilty or bad about things. This literally isn't my fault, they did this, so I just feel like I should be able to live my life and not have to worry about all this. Why can't I?
