I'm asking if you believe no other president would support Israel more than Biden. US president? I don't believe that. Israel doesn't believe that. You might. There's a lot of potential presidents in America.

Your own quote: "[Netanyahu] can't get that loyalty from any other US president"

Do you actually believe that statement to be true?

US Olympics is probably being overly cautious ever since Taliyah Brooks collapsed from exhaustion when they refused to delay a US Olympic trials a couple years back due to extreme heat.

Taliyah was on pace to make it to the Olympics until that happened.

My pet peeve is when lids are slightly on. It's worse than having no lid at all.

Warnings probably work better on products you're putting in your body. If you have blackened lungs on the cigarette packaging I can't imagine choosing to smoke.

On social media, you basically have to destroy my experience for me to stop using it in the same way. All effective options are terrible: ads, microtransactions, auto-playing unexpected sounds, nonresponsive interfaces.

In 2016 Trump led among white women voters too.

I liked Devs. It had a dope concept. That show didn't get much buzz.

This is as interesting as a human passing the Turing Test.

Humans are as smart as they ever were. Tech is getting better. I know someone who was tricked by those deepfake Kelly Clarkson weight loss gummy ads. It looks super fake to me, but it's good enough to trick some people.

Facebook is basically a dinosaur. The demographic that were the first users ran away right around the time when their parents got accounts.

Lemmy users seem older than most social media to me. Why is Star Trek TNG so popular here if not?

Probably not. Kids don't hate reboots and remakes because they were probably too young to see the originals. Old people are the ones hating.

Kids don't actively hate shows, they just won't watch things they don't like. Adults will not watch a show, then summarize a 2 hour podcast explaining why no one else is supposed to like it.

No, nepotism has definitely been a thing. Your original text made it seem like there's been a long history of the Democrats having spouses (a singular instance for either party) or a VP (less concerning) being the candidate. It also made it seem like you considered it nepotism. VPs aren't nepotism.

I'm not gonna list a lot of examples

You say this like you're talking about more than exactly two people over more than exactly two elections.

Not everyone runs it in the shortest time possible. My longest run is probably close to a half marathon. It wasn't fast and it was fun. If it weren't fun, I wouldn't have done it.

That being said, some people who run it in the shortest time possible probably find it fun too.

The numbers are interesting and I bet the 2020 number is very high because of covid, but them comparing total deaths might be statistical deception.

How old were the people who died? What were the causes of death? Did the total amount of people in detention stay consistent over time?

According to the article, a few of the ones listed are pretty young, but they didn't show causes of death.

I don't think this is exclusive to right wing populists.

He's simply congratulating the side he supports. Biden showed support for the Iranian protesters.

And before someone responds "um actually, Biden is as right wing as Clarence Thomas," Bernie Sanders showed support for the Iranian protesters too.

You'd be hard pressed to find someone to the left of Bernie Sanders who doesn't support Iranians protesting the right to not be killed for wearing a hijab improperly.

Bad to assume. I'll fix it.

I might be wrong, but at a certain point, I believe (s)he might've been actually trying to harass these kids. Why else would you have a mock auction critiquing their physical characteristics and adding slurs into the books you're reading?
