The US government banning anything based on suspected use of forced labor is laughable. Pretty blatantly anti-China, and very hypocritical when a lot of US states use glorified slave labor. It is quicker to name the large US companies that don't use prison labor than the ones that do.

There's never been a day where I regretted deleting my Reddit account and removing that site from my life. It's only gotten worse since I left.

One might argue that it is, instead, the Lunchable that is the poor facsimile of a charcuterie.

What a stupid waste of resources. Ice is ice.

Finally, a title for that asshole that feels completely appropriate. Florida Man.

Just based on the article, these "reforms" are clearly aimed at harming the working class. I'll give you one guess as to which other class of people will benefit from them.

What attempt?

The US Army says tampons are fine for patching bullet wounds in an emergency.

Anyone who says paid software is guaranteed to be better is either selling you something or delusional.

FOSS has almost never disappointed me as an end user. Windows disappoints me every time I use it.

The wealthy, who disproportionately wreck the environment across the whole globe, refuse to be less destructive.

Not really a surprise; the political establishment of even the Republican party got really sick of Trump during his time in office because of the chaos. He didn't behave like the typical useful idiot President and torpedoed a couple of easy legislative victories by tweeting in rage when they were almost through Congress.

This headline seems biased just by itself. "Bigwig" isn't exactly a respectful term.

I didn't read the body of the message so this is a joke responding to only the title:

With a calendar!

(Seriously though I'm polyamorous and a calendar is basically a necessity)

We can only hope that, like the citizens of Rapture, the rich tech-bros go insane from their own fumes and start eating each other.

We absolutely can, but "organizing" doesn't mean the same thing to a Democrat as it does to me.

The largest suggestion in this article is: "call out the people who suppress voting and call them vote suppressors". Words have near-zero impact on the people passing these laws.

Peaceful methods simply will not work anymore. They've been tried for decades and the Republicans do not care. Their only goal is winning and in many states they have won in a semi-permanent way by redrawing districts and suppressing nonwhite votes.

Overly complex? That's a baffling thing to say about any operating system when they are all insanely complicated. Windows and MacOS and a typical desktop Linux distro contain more code than a single human could write in a lifetime.

Snap has always bothered me and this is another great reason why.

I think you're massively over-generalizing here to make Linux look like an unstable mess. Rolling release distros are the ones that want you to read the patch notes. Arch is the poster child for those. Stable distros like Mint and Ubuntu and elementaryOS don't brick your system with every update. They hold back updates and stick with older kernels to ensure stability. Linux is, already, very good. It sounds like you haven't used it for any length of time. Valve's work on Proton has made Linux gaming viable for a whole lot of people, but the majority of computer users don't play intense video games. They want web browsing, email, office software, that kind of thing. Linux does those just great on almost any device all the way down to Raspberry Pi boards.

I question why a human rights group meant for people in Xinjiang is based in Washington DC and has lots of personal ties to the US government. Sure is convenient for US foreign policy goals.

I can't imagine what football would be like if the players didn't have a union.

Oh, wait, that's called NCAA and high school football. Violently exploitative and permanently injurious for zero pay.

American here and that is completely, 100 percent true.

Almost every piece of infrastructure built in the US in the past century is built around cars. Every American is expected to learn how to drive a car at age 16, as soon as legally possible. Except in very large cities like NYC, it is considered "strange" or "a significant inconvenience" to not own a car. For the vast majority of the country (both by land area and population) a car is required for commuting to work and almost anywhere else.

Nazis are ontologically evil with a documented history of genocide. They deserve far worse than just doxxing.

If you're not comfortable with anti-Nazi activity, you need to ask yourself why.

Maybe it's because you're uncomfortable with the idea of hostility in general? If so, you need to understand that fascist ideology is in and of itself hostile, and any action against it by the people it targets is self-defense.

I'm queer and the people in that list would kill me or worse if given the chance. Do you understand that?

"Electoral politics try not to be just a popularity contest challenge"

Failed for like the 50th time

What a surprise, for-profit medicine is worse for patients

No public sources yet, but there are positive whispers from anonymous people in the electronics supply industry. Companies that make boards, chips, screens, that kinda stuff. That plus the fact that the original Switch launched in 2017 is enough for me to believe the new one is on the way.

The American South is a diverse and beautiful coalition of Black, Latino, and working-class white people being held hostage by right-wing extremists and their propaganda.

The rights listed in the Constitution have always been a joke, selectively enforced in favor of the ruling classes, and this is yet another example of that. Completely blatant overreach by municipal and state authorities.

I hate it here.

Why did the RNC invite a union president to speak in the first place? Seems very out-of-character especially considering what he said on stage

Uh-oh. I don't like where this is going.

That's awesome -- for folks who didn't read the article they actively tested the reactor's passive cooling by shutting off all its power systems. It cooled itself to ambient temperature with no meltdown in less than 35 hours with no active coolant flow.

That console's hardware is endlessly fascinating. Incredible what they did with it, at the price it sold for, back in 1996!

"Marxists have failed to gain power because they think too much" is one hell of a liberal elitist take from the author of this article.

Jimmy Carter also got notably abandoned by his own Democratic party during his re-election campaign

Have you considered that you might have Bad Vibes? Maybe the installer is afraid.

Hmm, gee, I wonder why the two "separate" parties agree so strongly on so many things. It's almost like they get bribed and controlled by the same people...

The "data privacy" argument is bullshit and the people pushing for this law know it. That's what is being sold to people but it is not why this TikTok ban got passed. It got passed because American social media companies are pissed that TikTok is outcompeting them for the attention of young people, and because the US government has a heavy hand in what algorithms are allowed to push on Facebook and Google and others. A good portion of Facebook's initial funding came from government sources.

"Data privacy" is just an excuse. Lobbying from the intelligence agencies and social media companies is why it's really being enacted.

Source: Radio Free Asia, aka the CIA, who have obvious material interest in smearing China as much as possible. China may have problems but the bias here is pretty overt.

It's a neat idea, but you know what the most practical "hybrid" on two wheels already is? A hybrid between human pedal power and an electric motor: the E-bike. Honestly if they weren't so expensive they'd completely wreck the 50cc scooter market. Very similar use cases, lighter, about the same speeds, more nimble, easier to park, and better exercise. In a place with decent bicycle infrastructure they're absolutely ideal.

As long as people keep getting paid to make predictions, they will keep making paid predictions

This is never a popular thing in any country when it's attempted.
