  • Would you support a mandatory retirement age of 75 for US House, US Senate & US Supreme Court Justices and if not why?

    Jump

  • First I would support campaign finance reform and watch 90% of the problems be solved.

    Then I would tackle the other 10% by making voting more accessible - especially in primaries. Make it so accessible that even young voters bother to do it. That way people will choose younger reps more often.

    So no, I wouldn’t support putting a bandaid on one issue and ignoring the root causes.

  • Renters need to make roughly $20,000 more a year to afford the typical rent than they did 5 years ago

    Jump

  • They did not, but it’s ok because they’re just feeling it wrong this year. Maybe someone should tell them how to feel about the economy so their income and expenses won’t matter anymore.

  • Elite Dangerous accused of becoming pay-to-win with introduction of new ship

    Jump

  • I feel like this is a dying gasp effort to keep the game online. I actually feel bad about it.

    Elite is one of two games where I’ve ever spent money on cosmetics. I spent like $60 on paint jobs because I actually wanted to support the game.

    I’m not sure what to think about this, because normally I hate “pay to win” and cosmetic shops alike. I wish Elite just had a subscription model and could support more stable servers or something. I don’t know how they expected to put an always-online game on sale for $5 all the time and keep it profitable without eventually running into a brick wall where they’d need to choose between shutting down and pissing off players.

    I genuinely hope this somehow turns out to be worth it for them.

  • What a great way to motivate your other employees and show them that hard work is worthwhile and success is rewarded.

  • The EPA is again allowing summer sales of higher ethanol gasoline blend, citing global conflicts | AP News

  • Do you support carbon tax? I’d have thought most Lemmings would. Letting prices rise without needing to pass carbon tax legislation should offer similar benefit: If people think twice about using gas due to price, and seek alternate ways to commute, like bikes, trains, carpooling, etc. then that’s good for the environment. And that’s in addition to the environmental advantages of not producing more ethanol.

  • Great, I love saving “up to 25 cents” on gas in exchange for increasing pollution and needing to replace my car earlier.

    Men and women are less likely to die when treated by female doctors, study suggests.

    Jump

  • As of 2021, only 37% of active doctors were women, but it was on an upward trend. I wonder if the disparity can help explain some of it, i.e. men are more likely to pursue the profession, but the women who do pursue it are more likely to be talented and successful at it - or they just work harder because they need to overcome biases.

    You know the old saying, “What do you call the doctor who graduated last in his class? …A doctor.” Maybe women are more driven to not be the worst doctors. Maybe male doctors can scrape by their whole careers and still be respected and successful for some reason.

  • Cops can force suspect to unlock phone with thumbprint, US court rules

    Jump

  • It’ll be interesting to see if it applies to facial recognition. In iOS, at least, you need to look at the phone to unlock it. That’s an intentional action. If you look to the side or close your eyes, it won’t work.

    So if you’re conscious, you can’t easily be forced to unlock the phone with your face and eyes if you’re able to resist. But if you’re unconscious, then maybe they could use your face (assuming your eyes aren’t rolled back into your head because the cops gave you brain damage.)

  • Roku explores taking over HDMI feeds with ads

    Jump

  • Hardware that is supported by ads or requires a subscription should be free, or better yet, not exist at all. Fuck paying $800+ for a TV that leeches forced ad revenue on top of the sale.

    And fuck the TV manufacturers for enabling this behavior. Bring back non-smart TVs. I’ll never use Roku or Google built-in streaming, so they shouldn’t be on my TV at all.

    Mark 10:17-25

    The Rich Man

    As he was setting out on a journey, a man ran up and knelt before him, and asked him, “Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?” Jesus said to him, “Why do you call me good? No one is good but God alone. You know the commandments: ‘You shall not murder; You shall not commit adultery; You shall not steal; You shall not bear false witness; You shall not defraud; Honor your father and mother.’ ” He said to him, “Teacher, I have kept all these since my youth.” Jesus, looking at him, loved him and said, “You lack one thing; go, sell what you own, and give the money to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; then come, follow me.” When he heard this, he was shocked and went away grieving, for he had many possessions. Then Jesus looked around and said to his disciples, “How hard it will be for those who have wealth to enter the kingdom of God!” And the disciples were perplexed at these words. But Jesus said to them again, “Children, how hard it is to enter the kingdom of God! It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God.”

    That was Palm Sunday lol. Fuckin murdered the guy later that week.

  • So it’s whoever decided to make Easter the first Sunday after the first Saturday after the first full moon after the spring equinox’s fault, this year.

  • And they profit from it. That’s mentioned there too, and it makes it that much more infuriating. They know exactly what they’re doing, and they do it on purpose, for money.

    And at the end of the day, they’ll settle (who are the plaintiffs? Article doesn’t say) or pay some relatively inconsequential amount, and they’ll still have gained a net benefit from it. Another case of cost-of-doing-business.

    Would’ve been free without the lawsuit even. Lives lost certainly aren’t factored in otherwise.
