  • Losing a chunk (5%) of their satellites in a couple months, sounds like they got roughly a 5 year expectancy, doesn't sound so good.

    They would have to constantly be launching them. How expensive is this and can they realistically make a profit? I don't see it being easy.

  • If there is, it won't be shared currently due to it being an ongoing investigation.

    But something must be there if the Canadian government is making this statement instead of ignoring it. Sounds like the media was going to push the story anyway, but they got ahead of it.

    The USA already said they aren't distancing themselves from it and working with Canada with this.

    We will see how things turn out, but things are pointing to more than likely India did something. Especially with the swarm of comments/bots pulling the whole "well he deserved it" and "hypocrites" all over.

  • Regardless if the guy deserved it or not, killing them in a country you are supposed to be on good terms with is not the way to go about it.

    At this point India is barely even trying to hide it.

  • Is helping a specific group of people discrimination? Even when it's focused on race?

    I don't think so, especially if it's based on other factors like past historical events and continued consequences of that.

    If it was putting a race over another it would be. Like if a scholarship rated Native Americans above Caucasians through a score to see how likely they would receive it.

    Though I would admit affirmative action always gave me mixed feelings.

  • To be fair, most people don’t listen or care to listen to politics. Don’t blame them.

    But many DO listen and care about their entertainment. I’ll take it if it means people who wouldn’t get involved do now. Especially if her fans are of the younger progressive variety.

  • There is no indoctrination, so this shit article can take a hike.

    Funny thing is the counter protester outnumbered these hate crazed freaks by quite a lot.

  • Already failed the DoD vote, so he's running out of options.

    If he does go to the Democrats, he's screwed. If he doesn't he is still screwed.

    Dude wanted this job too.....hahahahahaha!

  • Only a couple hundred more to go, but fcking finally!

  • I'm sensing a tend here....

    On another note, how is it SO HARD not to sexually assault or RAPE anyone when you are a celebrity and/or rich?

  • Considering their policy doesn't allow for other stuff like this, yeah I am not surprised.

    Reminds me of the time when a Spiderman mod removed the VERY few instances of a pride flag in a recreation of NEW YORK CITY and a Skyrim mod that removed any potential gay romances that only occur when wearing a very specific amulet (including a single dead skeleton couple off the beaten path.)

    Those got booted as well cause.....come on now. Its blatantly targeting a group of people about their sexuality and gender who have BARELY any presence to begin with in these games.

    Starfield is even more egregious as its LITERALLY just a menu option and the rare use in dialogue....

    Really pathetic and sad people would even feel the need to make them to begin with. Let alone feel the need to upload them to a platform.

  • If you are talking about blatantly kiddie porn, then I absolutely agree with you.

    Though it is not a new trend, not particularly an unpopular opinion, or limited to just cringe.

    If it’s just cutsie or shortstack type character, then to each their own.

    Loli stuff has always been a black hole when it comes to any anime discussion, so I applaud your bravery in breaching the subject.

  • What explains negativity about a good economy? Partisanship is surely a factor: Republicans’ assessment of the current economy roughly matches what it was in June 1980, when unemployment was twice as high and inflation four times as high as they are now. Beyond that, the events of the past few years — not just inflation and higher interest rates but also the disruption Covid caused to everyone’s lives, and perhaps the sense that America is coming apart politically — may have engendered a sourness, an unwillingness to acknowledge good news even when it happens.

    Interesting option from the article.

    So, it might be more "everything is falling apart or not the same" type of thinking. Could explain it and wouldn't surprise me.

    Everything does seem different after COVID at least. Things don't feel the same even years after.

  • Exactly.

    I'd go one step farther and even say if they even had the same amount of attacks as other dogs, had no possible mental diseases, and all want to caring homes I would still put restrictions/ban on them.

    They are just too large to handle, too big of a bite to brush off, and end up in dog attacks a lot. That's enough for me.

  • To be fair most won’t, but they definitely can and do.

    Especially when they are jaws on legs that are more inclined compared to other dogs.

  • Unsurprising. Large “power breeds” like pit bulls I have always found questionable to have.

    No restrictions or licenses? No muzzles at least?

    A good thing they banned them.

    Though I still dislike the outright malice and hate I see when a pit bull in a photo might be doing nothing but staring at a sunset. A bit hate crazy.

  • Paywall.

    But that is very weird if people think they are fine, but somehow others aren't and the economy isn't. At least enough to say that.

  • The economy overall might be fine, but the average person can still not be.

    People don't care much about data and facts on unemployment and GDP when ultimately their personal situation is what matters. Things are more expensive and wages for a lot of people haven't kept up. Already have too many people think that no/less inflation means prices go down, when actually that just means prices stay the same or go up slower. Deflation is off the table cause that can be even worse.

    Sadly, there isn't much that can be done beyond sticking to higher interest rates and letting the market adapt and catch up.

    Not much the president can do either, especially with this congress. Even if it wasn't, the changes and effects would likely take years to even reach fruition. Let alone have a significant impact for most people if all goes according to plan.

    We have seen this scenario play out before.

  • Same.

    Although it's becoming close I register for Democrats cause of how bad things have gotten with Republicans.
    They only got culture wars and conspiracy theories and downright malice now.

    Helps me? NO. Tax cuts for the rich, taxes for me, and forcing their religion down my throat.

    Helps others? NO. Targeting social security, restricted voting, and a whole lot of pulling up bootstraps

    Helps kids? NO. Child labor laws weakened, free school lunched targeted, and don't say gay.

    Helps nature? NO. Climate change "isn't real!!!", drill baby drill no matter what, and hostility to any "alternative/clean" solutions.

    What future is there in that? Just a regressive and bastardization of the past. For what?!?! Just to try to bring back the "Good old days?"

    With Dems there is at least a future, as troubled and imperfect as it might be. With Reps there isn't
