  • I don't like this because it's not addressing the actual saying. Obviously the saying is about chicken eggs specifically.

    But I've always felt obviously the egg came first. The first chicken was born in an egg, so the egg came first. That egg could have been produced from a creature with a mutation which caused it to produce the first chicken egg when it is not itself the exact same species.

  • I'm not following how it's any problem for China to just be on Russias side? They get cheap resources while focusing the West away from Taiwan and showing the West the impossibility of trying to win a proxy war against a world power. Seems like they get everything they want. So they lose out on some trade with a smaller GDP than Ethiopia, whatever.

  • Seems to be making the point that it would be kind of dumb to spread across the solar system just making the other planets just as messed up as what we are currently doing on Earth.

  • What does it even mean "one less account to track?" The money is still coming from a bank account, if you track the money in your account you would still have to account for a check, and it would be even worse if the check isn't cashed right away.

    Is it that you don't have the monthly credit card bill if you send a check? But you're spending the same amount of money regardless, checks are more like one-off credit card transactions, that don't confirm payment like a credit card does. Checks are worse for the payment-neurotic. That's maybe an argument for debit cards, it's not an argument for checks.

  • Headline: "5 years ago renters needed to make less than $60,000 a year to afford the typical rent; now they need to make almost $80,000"

    5 years ago renters needed to make less than $60k, they made $69k. Now they need to make "almost $80k", they make $77k. When you put numbers to it, it seems less stark.

    Median household income in 2024 is $77,400.

    Median household income in 2019 was $68,700.

  • Didn't seem like he attacked Jews really, but he made it very clear he thinks of them as an "other" who are unified in their thought process and aligned with Israel.

    Like with white people he's trying to win as many white votes as possible so he goes to a white working class coal mine in West Virginia and a (non-union but middle class) car part manufacturer in Michigan and a rural state fair.

    American Jews are just the US-based Israel contingent, to him. Israel has turned extremely right wing and the leader Bibi likes Trump, why aren't US jews voting 100% in line with "their leader?"

  • I really like my job but if they started monitoring my data like that I'd absolutely quit. There's already a monitoring mechanism, it's called your boss needing you to complete tasks on time. If you're doing that, the only thing data monitoring does it falsely call out people who are doing their work.
