Trump turns civil rights upside down in ‘biggest rollback’ since Reconstruction | CNN Politics

  • Just 10 years ago the US was still seen as being progressive

    Sorry what, by whom?

    • People who live in functional and safe countries, how happy are you?

    Jump

  • Glad you're alright, MY_ANUS_IS_BLEEDING 🙏

    • Is lead toxicity from shooting guns a primary reason many Americans seem cognitively impaired ?

    Jump

  • Yes, but not because of guns. While the adverse effects of leaded gasoline were known in the 60s and leaded gasoline got banned in most countries, the US only phased it out in 1996. Which means that millions of people alive today are exposed as a child. This has a huge impact on IQ:

    The average lead-linked loss in cognitive ability was 2.6 IQ points per person as of 2015. This amounted to a total loss of 824,097,690 IQ points, disproportionately endured by those born between 1951 and 1980.

  • LLMs are Large Language Models and generate text, not images.

    (ok, LLMs can't count either but still)

    • Sixth foreign tourist dies of suspected methanol poisoning in Laos

  • Other victims include 2 women, a man, and... a lawyer?

    • What is the (subjectively) weirdest word in the English language?

    Jump

  • Albeit, caveat, awry, segue, haphazard, and facsimile are all pronounced weirdly and incorrectly for those who learned a lot of English by reading.

    • Trump Doubles Down on “Kamala Isn’t Black” Argument With New Photo

    Jump

  • I suspect Trump is not really orange. I think he is white and he paints himself orange. I don't know why he'd do that, but it is very, very weird.

    • How feasible is this plan?

  • Where is Findland? I can't fin it.

    • Rule one of the road : Never trust an idle car.

    Jump

  • The website literally says:

    Dutch kids learn it from parents & in school. It’s taught in drivers’ ed, and used to pass their driving test. It's been Dutch commonsense for 50 years.

    • Rule one of the road : Never trust an idle car.

    Jump

  • I don't know how or why this is always attributed to the Dutch. I'm Dutch. We definitely did not learn this. Not in school, not from parents, not in driver's ed. We do not open our doors this way.

    The thing is that all Dutch drivers are also cyclists, that helps a lot. Also, our infrastructure is very very very VERY accommodating to cyclists. Often bicycle paths are separated from roads,which helps a lot.

    When opening doors, we simply look. There's a mirror very conveniently placed for the sole purpose of looking behind you. Use it. If you open your doors without looking and thinking, you're an idiot. None of that has to do with being Dutch.

    • If only it was like that

    Jump

  • Besides the dates, I also still don't know if 12am is noon or midnight. Do Americans know? Is there a problem with simply counting to 24?

    • Trump Melts Down as Idiot Sons Are Set to Take the Stand

  • 'Meltdown' is his default state. It would be news if he had a melt-up.
