I was forced to upgrade my work laptop by my company, and I basically lost two full days of productivity because of how truly shitty the new OS is. Still not back to normal productivity, and it’s been two weeks. Definitely felt like a scam…
Florida. The Sunshine State is Florida for those who don’t know, don’t care, or hate it when authors use nicknames for some proper nouns and actual names for other things in the same category.
It’s petty, I know, but just use the words we all know for fuck’s sake.
Edit: I’m not calling out the OP (thanks for sharing this!), these words that bother me appear in the text of the study.
I’m a big fan of SoundCore products. I’m currently using the Space Q45 which replaced my pair of Life Q30s which I used the hell out of. IMO the Life Q30s have slightly richer sound quality despite being quite a bit cheaper than the Q45s, but all of their over ear headphone are super super comfortable and have good noise cancellation.
For fuck’s sake, there’s nothing new or interesting about the suggestions in this article. These are things that people have been saying for years. But since it’s usually leftists citing morality, no one takes us seriously, but when “Foreign Affairs” says it, it’s worth considering?
It should never have been controversial to condition our aid on a country’s ability to not indiscriminately kill everyone.
I think the two (phones and late stage capitalism) are working hand and glove to fuck up the kids. Us older folks had a much easier time pretending things were okay because our pockets weren’t constantly buzzing with instant feedback and we weren’t continually forced to consume traumatic and stressful content. Sure, we had plenty of other problems, and each generation is going to deal with their own fair share of shit, but I do think this cohort has a much harder job avoiding the ugliest sides of humanity.
This is the answer. They selfishly support Israel because they think that’s what their resurrected wizard wanted. Morality and basic human decency be damned.
I'm not a San Francisco resident, so I don't get a vote, I just have lots of connections to the region. She didn't have to denounce the city council's resolution against the genocide, she chose to, and that felt like a gut punch to me at the time. As for the relevance of it all, it was a non-binding (obviously) resolution taking a moral stand on an issue directly impacting hundreds if not thousands of residents in a pretty small city, so it matters.
I take your point, but if I asked my dentist if they thought it was okay to indiscriminately kill tens of thousands of children because they were born on the wrong side of a border, and they said yes? I'd absolutely find a different doctor.
Thanks for the heads up. Yeah, I’m cautiously hopeful, but still quite skeptical they’ll get it right. These measures often sound good, but implementation is key.
Drug treatment is important, yes, but making it a precondition for benefits will absolutely hurt the most vulnerable. If there was actually enough affordable housing available for everyone that needs it, there would be far less of a need for this kind of policy. It is well documented that providing housing before anything else sets people up for success. If someone has been living on the streets and suddenly has housing available, their life will improve so drastically thanks to the job and social opportunities that will become available, also making it less likely that drug abuse will continue.
This seems like a cop out to me. Just build houses for fuck’s sake.
Breed has been on the wrong side of so many issues. Most recently she made an incredibly tone-deaf statement denouncing the city council’s vote against the genocide in Gaza. I’m done with her.
Yeah, “bloodbath” plus “slashes” made me think this was a report of violence at a Trump event, which is entirely plausible these days. I agree this is completely irresponsible, and also a totally unnecessary way of framing what happened.
Edit: especially with such a consequential and potentially violent election getting underway, we all need to be damn sure of it if there actually is a bloodbath somewhere.
This is hilarious, and I’m actually glad someone did this, even if he didn’t intend to prove that the vaccine is so safe.
BUT I really feel it when I get the jab. I’ve always been extra sensitive to vaccine side-effects, I’m basically out of commission the whole next day. Makes me feel like I have a terrible cold, aches and pains, congestion, etc. for a full day after, and serious pain at the injection site for almost a week. None of that stops me from getting vaccines, because I value my life, but how the hell did this guy manage??
Wait, wasn’t the whole point that she knew there was no way to win on her own, but she’d stay in the race until the last possible minute in case some magical hand of the law finally came down on Trump?
Shame, I had a morsel of respect for that strategy, though I guess it was never really viable since Trump isn’t subject to the law like the rest of us.
they've always been pragmatists to the point of standing for nothing except their own gravitas
Well said. Their reflexive need to “both-sides” even the most one-sided issues ultimately helps normalize the most extreme viewpoints. It’s what made me lose faith in them.
Also their headlines are consistently absurd, to the point of often being inaccurate. Remember around the 1 million mark, when they said Covid had caused countless deaths and then proceeded to tell us how they counted the deaths? Words mean certain things, and their meanings matter. Don’t use “countless” if the thing is countable.
