Maybe because manh people think it's useless and stupid and wish it would go away. Trusting a random bot to tell you the political leaning of an information source so you know whether to trust the information is peak stupidity, IMO.

This comment is proof a certain segment of liberals just can't be happy.

"just Medicare expansion and lowering prescription drug costs" Just?! Oh you mean just two issues which voters have been demanding for over 2 decades? Just what democrats have tried to accomplish forever but Republicans have blocked?

Political parties are capable of having and achieving multiple policy goals at once. Jesus christ.

I'm glad she's the candidate too, but you're just making up a scenario in your head based on no evidence.

Defeatist bullshit

The reaction to Project 2025 has really surprised me. There's nothing new in it that hasn't floated around in the worst parts of conservative circles.

Musk is a goddamn traitor and should be treated like one

Some context from a mod at /r/law

Selected Applications of the Brandenburg Test The Supreme Court in Hess v. Indiana (1973) applied the Brandenburg test to a case in which Gregory Hess, an Indiana University protester, said, “We’ll take the fucking street later (or again)." The Supreme Court ruled that Hess’s profanity was protected under the Brandenburg test, as the speech “amounted to nothing more than advocacy of illegal action at some indefinite future time.” The Court held that “since there was no evidence, or rational inference from the import of the language, that his words were intended to produce, and likely to produce, imminent disorder, those words could not be punished by the State on the ground that they had a ‘tendency to lead to violence.’”

In NAACP v. Claiborne Hardware Co.(1982), Charles Evers threatened violence against those who refused to boycott white businesses. The Supreme Court applied the Brandenburg test and found that the speech was protected: “Strong and effective extemporaneous rhetoric cannot be nicely channeled in purely dulcet phrases. An advocate must be free to stimulate his audience with spontaneous and emotional appeals for unity and action in a common cause. When such appeals do not incite lawless action, they must be regarded as protected speech.”

Brandenburg Test:

The test determined that the government may prohibit speech advocating the use of force or crime if the speech satisfies both elements of the two-part test:

The speech is “directed to inciting or producing imminent lawless action,” AND

The speech is “likely to incite or produce such action.”

I canceled my subscription. The billionaires have openly declared for fascism. Fuck em all and may God help us.

Me: hey, some sorely needed common sense reforms got passed. Rural hospitals in a majority of states have the desperately needed federal funds to stay open and people are less likely to die because they cant afford their life saving medicines, great right?

You: fucking idiot, not every problem on the planet has been solved! How dare you celebrate solving just one problem we've been fighting for a generation to get fixed!

You're probably thinking of cobalt or perhaps hard rock lithium mines. Most lithium is just pumped out of the ground as brines, just like oil.

Thr scaries start for me once it gets close to noon and the day no longer feels young. The feeling that the day is lost merges with a similar feeling about life, which urges me to do something, anything, with my time.

That's when I usually get a burst of productivity that lasts until it's 5pm. The weekend is gone and it's time to enter self care mode. That usually means good food and entertainment in one form or another. As it gets dark I'll start trying to stop time with booze or a bit of weed as I indulge myself with sports or a movie.

I will often go to bed early so I can be all cozy and in a safe space to go down a wikipedia hole, read a book, listen to music and just veg in general.

Once the day is actually over the scaries usually have disappeared oddly enough.

I hope the shutter sound was turned off

You sound more like an agitator trying to sow resentment than someone who actually believes in liberal values.

Shitting on anything except a magical savior that waves a wand and makes the world anew is a delusion, not politics.

It's a general feeling of dread of the weekend ending and having to go back to work on Monday. Some people let it ruin their Sundays.

SpaceX fans have known about this for a long time now, and they just don't care. They've shouted down anyone who has pointed it out for well over a year now

Your cat sounds like me in jr high through high school.

Wobbly windows, rotating cube workspace switcher, and a flaming bonanza animation when a windows was closed.

The year was ~2003

I remember just giving up on life in second grade, refusing to participate or do anything because I was sad. Got tested a bunch after that and given pills that mad me a zombie.

There on out I was treated as a weird kid and that brought a different kind of sadness. Puberty added anger and suicidal ideation. The knowledge that I was fucked up, the world was fucked up, and my life wasn't going to work out.

Years later here I am, living with the knowledge I was right and watching myself fail at life, finding no joy or peace in anything. Everything is an open sore. Wondering when I'll get to a point where I rage quit.

I think most of the people I know are anxious or depressed, or both. Hut I don't know of anyone close to me who is at my level.

Ryan Hall can be very entertaining but there are much better and professional sources of information out there. My favorite is Tropical Tidbits (https://youtube.com/@tropical-tidbits)

The public does benefit from it because the people who's jobs it is to protect the public have access to the data.

We're getting our monies worth, especially if you've paid attention to how accurate hurricane tracking and intensity models have become over the past 10+ years.

True, but I've found it is just as like to change things for the worse as the better. Waking up from a deep deep sleep after only an hour can leave me as a zombie for the whole day.

I ended up sleeping for maybe 20 minutes this time and it has worked out so far.

Of course, but the percentage of capable zoomers who are actually tech savvy is much smaller than millenials, for the reasons already stated.

Just the other day I witnessed a zoomer grad student who didn't know how to use a file explorer on his new windows laptop because he had grown up with an iPad and iPhone.

Goddamn I needed to hear this

Anyone seen an explanation for this trend of useless and stupid censoring of words?

Because NASA treats its waste water like every other sane responsible rocket company or government agency.

I am 100% convinced Twitter is being intentionally destroyed by a cabal of evil oligarchs and nation states.

Cleaner fuel? It's oxygen and methane. Carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen, no mercury. Still I can't think of a source.

Maybe. The people who have always said 30 years were scientists and engineers. Those now saying 5 to 10 years are VC backed startups.

Progress is definitely being made but I'll believe the optimists when I see the results.

This has been a popsci fantasy for a quarter of a century or more. Google tried it and gave up.

In a pinch I could, by pretending to be in a zoom meeting.

I was very against Hillary running in 2016 for this specific reason. I don't care how qualified a candidate is. If they are related or in a relationship with a previous president I don't fucking want them. This is America goddammit, we aren't supposed to have nobility.

CO2 and water. The rocket fuel is not the source of the mercury.

Nate Silver is a hack, but agree with everything else you said.

That was me up until my mid 20's

IMO Linux has had superior usability for at least 8 years.

I still do, but I used to, too.

Anything by Kiasmos. Also Chopin.

He has to be stopped but at this point the only chance might be if the feds have him on tape committing treason. Which feels probable.
