  • Trump administration suspends FEMA employees who warned about disaster response

    Jump

  • I mean, Americans wanted their government to be “run like a business” and anyone has ever had a real jobs knows that priority one at work is sucking up to management and never even hinting that the boss might be wrong…

  • USB-C extensions are not allowed for a reason

    Jump

  • Because the cable itself is a factor. Just because the supplier says “I can give you 200 watts”, and the secondary device says “I can take 200 watts” doesn’t mean the cable between is able to carry that.

    It’s not even just power but other things like DisplayPort over USB, Ethernet over USB, Thunderbolt, and whole slew of other things a theoretical USB-C cable can do, but not necessarily every USB-C cable.

  • We too often minimize the sacrifices parents make for us

    Jump

  • Nah, sacrifice in regards to your children is absolutely a mindset thing. You can cognitively restructure your thinking in this case.

    If you look at your children and think “wow, I’m not getting anything out of this” I can promise you that your children feel this and will become very distant to you when they grow older. They know when you just think they’re a burden.

  • We too often minimize the sacrifices parents make for us

    Jump

  • I think you’re conflating the concept of an opportunity cost with a sacrifice. There is a lot of joy in parenting, and not getting to hang out with friends because you have to take care of your child isn’t a sacrifice, it’s the cost of having a child. Not every single thing you give up is a sacrifice.

  • ‘He has trouble completing a thought’: bizarre public appearances again cast doubt on Trump’s mental acuity

    Jump

  • He’s been mad about windmills ever since Scotland built some within viewing distance of his golf course there. He tried to argue they’d lower his property values and whatnot but he has been ranting about windmills ever since.

  • These 5 Co-Op Games Are Dominating Steam Right Now

    Jump

  • Split Fiction is great but I think It Takes Two was just a better game all around. Split Fiction was faster paced which was nice, but the little exploration areas in It Takes Two were just wonderful. Lots of little surprises and fun details to find that made it a joy to slow down and just explore and experience some nice environments. Split Fiction was really missing that and while it’s still great, I wish they’d done a bit of that too.

    The Persistence of a Myth: Understanding and Debunking the “Nazi Ukraine” Narrative

    Jump

  • Again, it literally does not say that Nazis cannot exist because of those things, you're reading that into the text. That's a you problem. It very literally says less than 3% of the country voted for Nazis which is what you're claiming it doesn't say? It flat out admits there may be Nazis, but they do not have any power.

    The Persistence of a Myth: Understanding and Debunking the “Nazi Ukraine” Narrative

    Jump

  • Yeah, except that’s not what the article says at all, which gives away the fact that you’re going in with a narrative that you refuse to be questioned on.

    The article says that Nazis could very well exist, but they don’t have any significant power. Which you’d think invading an entire country to get at a handful of alleged Nazis might be a bit overkill, since there’s zero evidence that the entire country is just overrun with Nazis.

    Again, they’re using the same argument Israel is: everyone in this territory is (insert code word for evil here) and we must be allowed to kill them. But you think it’s ok when Russia does that.

  • Don’t let the tankies see this. It would ruin their ability to justify Russia’s invasion and they’d have to reckon with the fact that they can correctly identify Israel saying “everyone in Palestine is a Hamas” as bullshit but for some reason Russia saying “everyone in Ukraine is a Nazi” weirdly doesn’t register. It’s almost like genocide is fine as long as your team is doing it.

  • US Supreme Court lets Trump end deportation protection for Venezuelans

    Also, send the people trying to escape that back for the crime of being brown lmao.”

  • FBI links California fertility clinic bombing to anti-natalist ideology

    Jump

  • Hasn’t Elon been complaining about anti-natalists being the worst people alive? Seems awfully convenient that all of the sudden there’d be something for that dipshit to point at as “proof” anti-natalists are evil.

  • What was the biggest pill you've had to swallow about your own self or habits?

    Jump

  • Since no one on here will ever know me…

    It’s accepting that I have autism and that having autism is ok. My mom used “autistic” as an insult against me, the first time I remember was from age 5 as an attempt to control behavior she saw as undesirable. Running circles outside until I wore the grass out and flapping my hands about was something I needed to feel ashamed about according to her. And so I hid that and everything else she criticized so hard that I couldn’t accept that the reason I struggled so hard with a lot of things in my life wasn’t because I was just some innate failure but because I had an unaddressed condition that was she not only refused to help with but actively made worse.

    To this day I still cannot do things like make eye contact, or tolerate being touched. But I’ve learned to not only accept myself for who I am, but accept that little boy who never understood why his own mother never seemed to be able to love him.

  • RFK Jr. says government to launch new studies on link between toxins, autism amid pushback

    Jump

  • I am well aware, first hand, of what mothers of autistic children think about their autistic children. Fucked me up for decades.

  • RFK Jr. says government to launch new studies on link between toxins, autism amid pushback

    Jump

  • It’s funny how many people that claim to believe that vaccines cause autism out themselves as not truly believing that.

    The vast majority of people who parrot the vaccines cause autism bullshit also believe that autistic people should be punished for being autistic, even up to, in RFK Jrs own words: sent to labor camps. It’s not at all logically consistent to believe that autism is caused by an external factor outside of their control but also they need to be brutalized for daring to be autistic. It is, as always, a grift to get money from idiots.

    There’s definitely some moms of autism horseshit in there where “I can’t possibly be responsible for my child being autistic, it MUST be something else” is a major driving factor too. Anything to shift the blame away from yourself for failing to take care of your child properly.

  • Do people really think setting up domestic manufacturing in the USA is easy?

    Jump

  • The other problem is that the $55 American made one will mysteriously become $94 because doing anything else would be leaving money on the table and therefore unconscionable to American business owners.

    Tariffs have a nasty habit of making local goods increase in price accordingly too.

  • The majority of the Nazis camps were not in Germany, so this is still “going by the book” as it were.

  • The problem is that not a single one of those voters will reflect on what led to them being tricked by this man and not only learn absolutely nothing, but continue to claim he’s better than anything evil other party could put up.
