  • a well-received congressional address (69% CNN approval, 76% CBS/YouGov)

    I'm not usually the type for conspiratorial thinking, but can we really trust these numbers? There is a strong incentive to manipulate statistics of support here, and with all the other blatant corruption happening right now I don't think it'd be unreasonable for the strings to be being pulled here

  • seriously - too many people see criticism of Israel's government and read it as condemnation of all Jews. As if it's the case that that government represents all Jewish people worldwide (or even all Jewish people in Israel...!)

    It's like people are thinking that wanting Israel to stop its genocide also means there should be another genocide targeting Jews?? Nuance beyond that sort of black-and-white polarized viewpoint seems to be increasingly dead.

  • Some of them are pretty stupid, just not stupid enough to be a self-resolving problem

  • Never thought I'd be wishing hell was real. This is evil.

  • Bad title. The article examines whether specifically noise-cancelling headphones may be involved in listening issues.

  • researchers described the canceled projects at the department’s Institute of Education Sciences as rigorous evaluations of how the federal government spends education dollars, efforts to improve the reading and math skills of U.S. students and guides for teachers on evidence-based methods of instruction. Many of the projects were near completion and had mostly been paid out, which means that the implied savings are likely much less than $881 million touted by DOGE.

    In case someone in your life still needs more evidence that they're full of shit

  • let's hope some actual evidence of "inefficiency" is needed and not just the bare assertion of it, because you know that will be the trump admin's immediate next step

  • No, that's not entirely on her. It sucks that she didn't step out of line from Biden's stance on Israel. But it also sucks that a lot of Democratic voters decided their personal feelings of moral sanctimony justified electing someone with a drastically worse stance on the issue.

    I don't think there's been an election in living memory where people liked 100% of the candidate's policy. Your duty as a voter is to make the most suitable choice from among the viable candidates. People who claimed they couldn't vote for Kamala because she wouldn't oppose Israel's genocide, and who abstained from voting, directly contributed to worsening the situation with their choices, and they aided in deeply sabotaging (if not destroying) the country in the process.

    "You can't support Harris without supporting genocide" was right-wing propagandist bullshit the entire time, and it's deeply saddening that so many people couldn't see the forest for the trees. Most of them are probably still feeling smug about it while ignoring the blood on their hands.

  • But you do see how that's still better, right? Kamala would at least have been open to public pressure, meaning it could have been possible to pull the emergency brake a little harder. Trump isn't gonna change his mind for fuck all, and isn't just releasing the brake, but slamming his foot on the gas.

  • Ash hole? No, it's the Mt. St. Helussy

  • as someone who's only vaguely aware of the product, that's wild. What is it actually supposed to be used for? I thought the entire point was a strong smell to clear your sinuses.

  • Then I guess it's my bad thinking you were trying to show 100 gigabit plans

    None of those plans actually do reach 1gbps though, you kinda proved their point with your link

  • The article you linked describes plans reaching up to 1000Mbps (1Gbps).

    That's only 2% of the speed of the theoretical 50Gbps maximum OP's article discusses (and 10% of the 10Gbps real-world speeds currently available in China according to the same article). I think you have your units mixed up.

  • It's just a suggestion, but I would still report it after the fact and see if there were any traffic cameras or nearby businesses that might have caught it on CCTV.

  • If you were in the vehicle it's not just property crime mate. I wish you had hung them out to dry for hit and run.
