  • Fair, the wording of "people powered" probably isn't really accurate, more like "people really seem to like her and there's positive, growing support among the public". As you said though, in the end it feels like politicians just end up following corporate money's orders.

    Kamala has a swell of positive public opinion that I hope she can ride to the presidency. I just hope she doesn't squander all that good will later on.

  • Yeah, that's about when. Heck, I know a lot of people who are still really into Obama. Not sure about the general sentiment in the US but just about every person I know not living in the US still think of him as the best US president, except for the rare Trumper. I think he generally did a good job of charming the international scene despite everything

  • As a complete outsider, not living in the US but with family there, it does feel like people are more excited about her than they've been for any US politician in a good while. Maybe not people powered but there's definitely more positivity overall compared to Joe as candidate.

  • I hear you and want to believe this too, but I am forever surprised at how much pro Trumpers are willing to ignore and just how many of them there are. His base will cheer him on and the rest will make excuses or turn a blind eye.

    I hope I'm wrong

  • If I've been feeling the effects of coffee I switch to teas for a few days. But I much prefer coffee so I end up switching back once I gel better. So maybe change up your caffeine medium of you're having issues?

  • That was my first thought too; would this improve treatment for serious burn victims and such. Sounds like what they've made is better overall for sticking to applied surfaces and moving without tearing. Heck, maybe this could even lead to prosthetics that allow physical sensation

  • I imagine this is the kind of sentiment that really scares the Israeli government and probably the people of Israel. Most people didn't really care before but now everyone has an opinion on Israel and it's generally not good. Potential political isolation aside, the social isolation's gonna be a big problem for them too.

  • A friend in high school made nude drawings of another mutual friend. It was weird he showed me but he was generally an artsy guy and I knew he was REALLY into this girl and it was kind of in the context of showing he his art work. I reconnected with the girl years later and talked about this and while she said it was weird she didn't really think much of it. Rather, the creepy part to her was that he showed people.

    I don't think we can stop horny teens from making horny content about their classmates, heck, I know multiple girls who wrote erotic stories featuring classmates. The sharing (and realism) is what turns the creepy but kind of understandable teenage behavior into something we need to deal with
