  • "I just don't talk politics" before giving you their Andrew Tate take

    Jump

  • I took the test and I’m not particularly surprised at my result.

    I’m strongly of the opinion that a lot of people simply do not have the bandwidth to be deeply involved in politics, even if it is in their best interests. We have so many people in the US drowning in debt, stress, unresolved mental health crises, and uncertainty about how they can afford the next big repair on their house/appliances/car/body that they do not have the luxury of spending time and energy advocating for the changes that would improve their lives.

    I think of it like the airplane oxygen masks - you need to secure your own before you help others. It’s hard to expect people to organize and push for monumental change when they are a paycheck or two away from homelessness. I don’t see an easy way forward unless a lot of people are willing to sacrifice.

    TIL: There are 27.4 Empty Homes for Each Homeless Person in the U.S

  • Nobody is willing to take on the risk to help their neighbors 🤷🏻‍♀️

    If I had an empty home that I was paying a mortgage on, I’m not sure the bank or insurance company would be too happy with that either, which doesn’t help.

    Some systemic change would be required

  • The Wheel of Time's Rosamund Pike wishes the show could be saved, but believes "we have to accept that it's over”

    Jump

  • Both things can be true though. Do you not feel sympathy for anybody who loses out on a passion project or has their “thing” cut short because others aren’t as fortunate? That can be extrapolated about 8 billion ways to the poorest person on earth.

  • Cities Panic Over Having to Release Mass Surveillance Recordings

    Jump

  • I have the same feelings. I’m leaning towards preferring no cameras though. Data is cheap to store and never* gets deleted. Bad actors can comb through that information after the fact and use it for whatever purposes they want, even if it was initially taken/given with good intentions. Walking by a Ring camera now gets a mandatory consent-free facial scanning attempt. These cameras were not initially sold with this being a feature set. Who knows what bullshit they will be used for down the line

  • Devastating Report Details How Underage Homeless Girl Allegedly Had Sex With Matt Gaetz For Money to Buy Braces

  • I’d imagine being underaged and unable to consent makes it rape

  • Wales’s 20mph speed limit has cut road deaths. Why is there still even a debate?

    Jump

  • Costs money to rip and replace existing infrastructure. Counties and cities with less income can’t afford to make such drastic changes unless it’s a higher priority than the other 25 things that need funding

  • Wales’s 20mph speed limit has cut road deaths. Why is there still even a debate?

    Jump

  • For what it’s worth, I wouldn’t be in 3rd gear at 20mph in a modern turbocharged car.

    For my car, 20mph is roughly 2500pm in 2nd and 1700rpm in 3rd. I don’t like to live below 2000rpm because I don’t get spooled up that low.

  • Top US, Russian generals spoke by phone amid tensions

    Jump

  • These calls aren’t necessarily rare, but they aren’t routine if that makes sense.

    Avoiding miscommunications and de-escalating tensions is the entire point of these lines.

    I remember reading a story about US military leadership contemplating striking a target in Syria a while back. Russians (mercenaries or regular armed forces) were suspected to be operating in the area, but their generals denied presence on this emergency line, so the US bombed away. Russians ended up among the dead, but their leadership denied sponsorship, so this wasn’t necessarily a “US targets and bombs Russians” event which could lead to general warfare.

  • gay men outing conservative straight men

    Jump

  • Sucks that being anything other than straight is a health risk for large segments of the population.

    That being said, enabling or fostering that same risk isn’t in their best interest. If they’re unable to be the change they want to see in the world, then who do they expect to stand up for them?
