  • I’m sure you’re saying this in jest but it is interesting that the original meaning of the phrase “pull yourself up by your bootstraps” meant to do something completely absurd or physically impossible.

    When people use this phrase to mean better yourself it really is quite telling…. “Go do this absurdly impossible thing that we obviously never had to do.”

  • And? There are way better news sources than Facebook and YouTube but independent online news sources are more popular than tv news if I’m not mistaken.

  • I would not prove my citizenship, it’s their job to prove I’m not a citizen.

  • Isn’t this the reason we have a national radar lol, we can’t even badly guess at the weather without these guys… making fun of weather prediction but it will be even worse without these folks

  • The whole plot of the movie Idiocracy was based on the fact smart folks don’t have as many babies

    Edit: To be fair, if you only include college educated folks as smart then you are not actually selecting for genetically smart people, just wealthy privileged people vaguely…on a worldwide scale… there is a subsistence farmer somewhere in sub Saharan Africa or northern Mongolia who milks yaks every day who is way “smarter” genetically than anyone here on lemmy I’m 99% sure of it. Me? I’m dumb as hell. But I was lucky enough to be able to go to college.

  • Thankfully cable news is not as relevant as it once was… more so as the boomers retire and are unable to watch tv anymore

  • You mean deployed battleships and aircraft carriers in the Middle East?

  • The arc of the covenant…. The Italians have to give it back to Ethiopia

  • We still need journalists to do this crazy stuff to find the facts,

  • Perhaps it shows that a major world power is not taking care of the basic needs of its own people. And instead is engaging in terrorism both foreign and domestic or something

  • He’s a maverick!

  • in heavy Bill Clinton accent, “yes, I did let the president fellate me.” beavus and butthead laughter

  • Greetings, fellow piece of 💩. I too, stink something horrid, but thankfully I can’t smell it.

    While I want the committees to investigate all of the folks associated with Epstein, I understand it’s also quite unprecedented to subpoena a former president, especially considering Trump himself has refused subpoenas I believe. Maybe let’s not start with a former president of the minority party and actually release all the files?

    Not trying to defend the Clinton’s, I can’t believe they were ignorant of what Epstein was doing…

    But this batch of politicians in congress and the senate are particularly very weird.

  • It’s difficult for us to grasp statistics. So we hear about every crime being committed under the sun in London, from murder to rape to robbery… statistically the boonie smaller towns and cities are more dangerous but it doesn’t “feel” like it.

    Statistically, women are more likely to be assaulted by men they personally know, but they “feel” afraid of random strangers walking by. Probably because of movies and other media, and stories and anecdotes we’ve all heard.

  • :-(

  • Nah, men are just better at pulling out than they used to be… 👀

  • I mean, McDonald’s is pretty good 👀

  • Yoda lol he is getting old

  • I thought it was great I just didn’t know choosing the reader of the oath was a thing
