  • Let me guess, you’re one of those “climate change is natural and the Earth has changed climate before a bunch of times periodically!” types of people?

    I'm literally a climate lobbyist for Citizens Climate Lobby. You should join! We always need more passionate people.

    Statistically speaking, you make around $35k a year.

    I make slightly more than triple that, plus my wife's income. It's trivially easy to clear $35k right now, if you're willing to work some difficult, boring hours. I've dedicated my life to a role where I help frontline, unskilled laborers, and my last 2 jobs require 0 skills for our bottom-tier worker and will pay you well over 35k per year.

    My daughter is in college for psychiatric nursing. I'm not worried about her. Entry level salary is about what I make now.

    Also, slight correction - the north pole still exists. It's just ice free more often. The north pole is a magnetic feature of the planet

  • The blockade only existed due to Hamas seizing power.

    • Kids complained for years about sexually abusive probation officers. Some of them still work for L.A. County

  • From the article:

    Victims say sexual abuse at the camps and halls was an open secret. One man suing the county said a female officer would isolate him while at Barry J. Nidorf Juvenile Hall in Sylmar around 2005. He said the woman, who was employed by the county until at least 2022 per county records, would grope and kiss him, once in a room storing shower supplies, another time in a blanket supply room.

    They're the kind of people that back weird shit like Conservapedia.

    • GM Says It's Ditching Apple CarPlay and Android Auto for Your Safety

  • Imagine if we had a functioning Congress that could respond to these (and other) new tech advances with real standards that move technology forward safely and responsibly.

    What a world we could have.

    • GM Says It's Ditching Apple CarPlay and Android Auto for Your Safety

    Jump

  • Tim Babbitt, GM's head of product for infotainment, gave MT a better explanation at a press event for the new Chevrolet Blazer EV, the flagship vehicle in the no CarPlay or Android Auto strategy (and our 2023 MotorTrend SUV of the Year winner). According to him, there's an important factor that didn't make it into the fact sheet: safety. Specifically, he cited driver distraction caused by cell phone usage behind the wheel.

    How exactly will this disincentivize phone use? Wouldn't this encourage hands-on phone use instead of using a UI that limits interaction?

    I feel like this is a solvable engineering problem.

  • They represent the state in the actual election of the President. "Faithless electors" are a thing, at least as a theoretical concept.

    It's not insulting to use words for what they mean. I am so very confused by your underlying hostility here.

  • They're still appointed representatives of the state, though. States vote in the election, per the Constitution.

    I'd love to ditch the EC, but it does exist, and the electors are representatives. This isn't complicated at all, and I'm not sure why this is personal to you.

    If this person would rather travel the world and not plan for the future, that's their right.

  • Indeed they often are. They are also advocates, in general.

    However

    And what about the other 1200+ days they aren’t in the role for each 1 they are in it?

    Electors are chosen each cycle and are different people.
