  • Far left intellectualism

    Jump

  • When people are employed by those corporations, they have a vested interest in their livelihood not disappearing overnight.

    A survey of 700 people leaves considerable room for polling error. Without information on how they selected participants, I wouldn't say that's an overwhelming margin.

  • Taking a stand against fracking is all it would take, when the largest swing state this election has an economy that leans heavily on fracking?

    It's not the instant win you think it is.

  • Pentagon confirms missile defence system and troops deploying to Israel

    Jump

  • This is like, technically a weapon. It's a tool for destroying enemy missiles in the air before they impact their target. It's about as purely defensive of a weapon as you can get.

    The US soldiers are operating the missile defense system, so there's not room for Israel to "creatively" repurpose them. They aren't assisting in any missions in Palestine, they're purely defending against Iranian missiles.

  • Scottish talk radio sounds like a trip.

  • Tesla's sporty, two-seater robotaxi design puzzles experts

    Jump

  • Those also use a combination of many different sensors to see the road around them, while Tesla stubbornly refuses to use anything except vision because that's how humans do it. Nevermind that even with our best AI models, we've never even approximated how the human brain works.

  • On a related note...

    Full Self Driving coming next year? Or the year after that? Or after that?

  • Should Election Day Become A Federal Holiday? Weighing The Benefits And Drawbacks

    Jump

  • Sure, I agree. But the CEOs of McDonalds and Wendy's don't want to miss a single day of profits and their wealth gives them a lot more political power than I have.

  • It's not satire, it's 100% the reasoning that would be used in this argument. That's the train of thought that we took towards covid.

  • Why does a language have different words for different concepts?

  • It's an abbreviation.

    Not all abbreviations are acronyms, only the ones that take the first letter from each word. Lego takes two letters from each word, so it's not an acronym.

    On a similar note, some but not all acronyms are initialisms, if they're spoken as the letters rather than the "word" they create.

    FYI, DIY, PS are all initialisms, and also acronyms, and also abbreviations. ASAP, SCUBA, and LASER are acronyms and abbreviations, but not initialisms. Lego, appt, and st are all abbreviations but neither acronyms nor initialisms.

  • That's...not an acronym. That'd just be LG.

  • I'm going insane

  • Nope, the geometry actually works out such that it doesn't matter your distance from the mirror, only how tall the mirror is and how high it's mounted.

    A mirror that is as half as tall as your, mounted at head height, will show your white whole body regardless of how far away you are from it. TECHNICALLY, the bottom edge must be halfway between your eyes and feet, and the top edge must be halfway between your eyes and top of head.

  • Vance claims Trump 'salvaged' Obamacare. Trump tried, and failed, to kill it.

    Jump

  • There was a moment where Vance was hammering the word "choice" about like daycare costs or something and I really wanted Walz to say "so NOW you care about choice?"

  • Tim Walz gets bigger polling boost than JD Vance after VP debate

    Jump

  • Yeah, my father in law made some comment about "this debate is so much better than the last one" and I'm like...yeah, the word salad is replaced with Coherent English lies, but that's not a great step up.

  • Vance claims Trump 'salvaged' Obamacare. Trump tried, and failed, to kill it.

    Jump

  • I liked "we don't need Obamacare because we have legislation protecting people with preexisting conditions"

    Yeah, that would be Obamacare.

  • I mean, apparently we're getting hurricanes in Tennessee now, so it's fuckin happening.

  • Sword grip rule

  • That buckler, however, is not being held correctly. You hold it as far out in front of you as possible with a stiff arm. You don't sweep blows away like in dark souls.

  • CBS News says it will be up to Vance and Walz to fact-check each other in veep debate

  • Midwestern here.

    I think the fact that EVERY Midwesterner mutually shits on Ohio at any opportunity kiiiiinda makes a case that they're Midwest also.

    There are other states MORE deserving of the shit-talk, but it's not personal and visceral the way every other Midwestern state hates Ohio.
