Meanwhile, with Harris's enthusiastic acceptance of Dick Cheney's endorsement, there's a resurgent fascism within the Democrats that these normies are happily ignoring. That guy did more to expand American fascism than Trump even promises. Therefore, this election isn't really about totalitarianism versus democracy. That's another reason why the anticipatory obedience accusation isn't relevant. It would have also been anticipatory obedience to endorse Harris.
WaPo could certainly have done worse. It's not unreasonable to expect that a billionaire might look after a newspaper like a rare classic car or other vanity purchase, that he would be content to keep it running nicely even if it's ostensibly a poor investment.
I just do not understand this worldview that the billionaires are supposed to have protected journalism, let alone served as an important bulwark against fascism. It was already game over if that's the case.
Well, these and other injuries against journalists and journalism aren't new, but the coverage and outrage that I would have expected these and other outlets to produce has been relatively weak. Doesn't seem like there's much left standing to collapse.
I just try to be concise when I can. Either these papers only just started serving their owners' material interests a few days ago or the outrage over the non-endorsements is contrived, irrational, and/or self-important; an embarrassing freak-out.
When I think of journalism collapsing, I think of the persecution of Julian Assange or the targeting of journalists in Gaza. The blocking of editorial boards' endorsements seems trivial in comparison.
I don't have anything especially helpful to share, but maybe it's not so widely known that anyone can run their own ActivityPub instance and avoid some of the collateral damage caused by other admins.
Whether or not THC affects thyroid hormones, weed use does not show up on a blood test for thyroid function.
I don't know where you live or the relevant laws, but you should have confidentiality with your doctors and you should not have to hide any drug use from them.
Harris and the Democrats want to keep exterminating Palestinians at the risk of losing the election and all the subsequent consequences like court appointments. It's demented.
Well, the water is necessary for for life support and needs to be sourced somehow anyway. It kind of sets a minimum crew and passenger capacity if you want to make the most use of your shielding water.
I thought I was just unlucky and I figured I would make a shit post out of it, but a bunch of people are replying with similar experiences. It's outrageous!
I don't think it works that way. The water slows down the neutrons so that when and if they get to you they don't have enough energy to hurt you. The radiation doesn't contaminate the water any more than a microwave oven does.
What type of central unit do you have?
