Funny running across this article after reading https://www.wheresyoured.at/the-men-who-killed-google/
Spoiler: the author does not have a high opinion of Raghavan.
This seems entirely opposite to my observation. I'd say Biden and his administration are unusually focused on unfair or annoying business practices. In just the past two weeks the Biden administration:
Headline is an outright lie. The article literally quotes her saying she supports IVF. The author speculates that a bill she is co-sponsoring (that does not mention IVF) may accidentally ban IVF (if it passes and Biden signs it).
Certainly you could denigrate her intelligence, performative politics, or the logical incoherence between her abortion and IVF positions. But you cannot say she wants to do something contrary to her actual explicitly stated desire.
What she said was "I think we can certainly do more to be advancing our vision, and I believe we have a strong vision that we can run on." She specifically calls out:
Contrary to OP's title, she actually pushes back on the false narrative that Biden is running as "not Trump".
She does say that it will be important to demonstrate "what we are willing to do with" governing power between now and November.

Are you talking about the Russia collusion thing where his campaign staff were found guilty of a bunch of felonies and he wasn't charged because a "president cannot be charged with a federal crime while he is in office"? Where Mueller basically said: I'm not allowed to say he's guilty, but I can tell you he's not not guilty. That one?
That is why in California, bees are fish
The "SSH" picture would work for SSH tunneling
That would involve unknown magnitudes of change
I doubt such information would be public, but given that Trump publically invited Russia to interfere in the campaign, I'd certainly consider it plausible he also did so in private. Seems like a heck of stretch to go from that to "liar" and "corrupt".
You have neglected to note that the original comment violates rule 6 against celebrating death.
Every presidential election is important, and it never makes sense to make a "protest vote". That's just not how voting works.
I'm sure somebody has cried wolf at every election, but McCain and Romney never aimed to become dictators. Republicans currently have a published plan to institute fascism. It's pretty obvious that these elections actually are exceptional.
I don't think it's fair to call Slay the Spire (StS) a clone. While Card Quest introduced a lot of the key elements years earlier, StS adds enough innovation that it feels like a totally different game. Definitely would be more fair to say StS popularized a lot of the mechanics rather than invented/pioneered them though.
If you return the tax to everyone as a dividend, then it becomes progressive, while still encouraging less polluting options
I guess the argument is that they will raise rent by the maximum, even at excessive risk of losing tenants? Because if the tenants will pay that much, why wouldn't the landlord charge that anyway?
So to most effectively address climate change we need individuals to change their behavior. So we can just tell everyone to do that, and we are all set, right? Clearly not. We need to:
Taxing "carbon" (really all GHG emissions) creates incentives for individuals and companies to use less, making trade-offs and choosing less carbon-intensive products. It moves the threshold for switching over to cleaner and more efficient technologies. People who refuse to acknowledge climate change will still change their behavior for personal benefit. People who want to make the world better will have more options and less reliance on company marketing/greenwashing.

As mentioned on that page, the best use of this tax is to give it back to everyone equally. Those who pollute less than average come out ahead. Those who pollute more pay for it in (indirect) taxes.
According to Times of Israel, the jets are F-15IA (Israeli-variant F-15EX), which are quite capable of carrying over a dozen bombs equipped with the JDAMs also being provided.
Effective systemic change requires changing the systems, not individual people or companies. If we want less virgin plastic or gasoline burning, it needs to be less profitable to extract oil, process it, and sell it to people who want it, otherwise somebody is going to do that.

This article is an abuse of the source data. "Working class" here is closer to manual laborer and excludes teachers, farm workers, military, emergency services, nurses, law enforcement, and others. The data is also fairly noisy, with typos and 2% of values being empty affecting the calculation.
To conclude that anyone not "working class" by this definition is "upper-class" is absurd. I guess for some it is hard to imagine the lofty former assistant manager at Burger King (D-AR) understanding the struggles of the common man.
There are certainly interesting discussions to be had about the disruptive influence of wealth on elections and about balancing representation with competence -- and folks are having that discussion -- but this article contributes less than nothing to those conversations.
Oh man, donโt stop

That's from October, so some of it overlaps, but among other stuff there's still a "Click to Cancel" rule working its way through the FTC.
Sadly Biden has been spending a bunch of time on lame crap like climate change, human rights, health care, infrastructure, election integrity, etc., so it might take a bit longer for him to single-handedly usher in consumer utopia.
This is wrong on top of wrong. First off, it's 57 entities (including "Former Soviet Union") producing 80% of the emissions tracked by the database -- which covers "88% of total fossil fuel and cement emissions," and totals 251G tonnes of CO2 equivalent gasses (CO2e) from 2016 through 2012 [1]. So with that we have 200Gt making up 70% of the global total over that 7 year period.
But fossil fuels and cement emissions are not the only source of greenhouse gasses. Human-caused global emissions are roughly 53GtCO2e annually during that time [2], for a total of 370Gt across all sources. So 200Gt is about 54% of that.
Most importantly though, this is a ridiculous measure in the first place. Who cares how many people are responsible for digging up the fuels that people are directly burning themselves in their homes and cars? If every oil well had its own company, how would that improve emissions? Nearly half of emissions are from individuals, and much of the rest is directly driven by consumer demand (e.g. power companies burning coal and gas).

I don't think it's accurate to say that ืึธืึธืจ (zakar) is usually translated as "boy". It is generally translated as "male" and often clearly includes adult males.
Funny enough, all prohibitions are specific to men, even in the NT (arsenokoites).

The description of the fork incident is pretty misleading. Maccani stormed up to the officers undeterred by multiple bean-bag rounds, holding the fork reversed so that it looked like a knife. Take 20 seconds and see for yourself:

A better trained / equipped group may have been able to de-escalate / disarm him, but -- unlike many other cases -- they didn't just wander up and shoot him for existing.
Definite agree with the core of what you're saying, though for US and EU (and to a lesser degree "High income countries"), the numbers are quite close, as clean grid energy is significantly outpacing electric vehicle adoption (and EVs rely on a clean grid to be clean).
I agree that saying gerrymandering affects everyone is sort of off-topic and distracts from discussing the precise impact being discussed, but it's really not equivalent to "All Lives Matter".
The dinner example assumes only one person didn't get dinner. If instead everyone went without dinner, wouldn't it make sense to point out they weren't the only one affected?
