You can be political/militant without carrying water for any seated party.

Not always accurate thanks to Gerrymandering and other things to minimize voting populations

If a good portion of your politics is centered around who you vote for then you’re probably reasonably represented by some of the powers that be. Speaking for myself a lot of familial political friction comes from how far outside electoralism my needs are.

Tell that to my folks who constantly cheerlead for Trump

I mean, when the definition of economy can be “how the species produces what it needs” then the answer to a problem is probably capitalism even if that answer explains very little

Years ago they got sued or something for factual reporting, basically only giving airtime to candidates that campaign on reality-based issues. Ever since then they have been giving equal airtime to both major parties. You can hear it in their voice that covering Republicans must be like a punishment

It’s so it can be shared on places with algorithmic censorship for the most likes as possible

“No not like that!”

Not exactly how I expected AI to kickoff the apocalypse.

And even moderately wealthy Americans don’t usually travel outside their country. If they do it’s usually from the airport to their hotel.

Only the root contains DNA, so you might make it okay

You’re right, I misremembered It’s not just about breaking the seal on the cap, the mere friction of the cap on the bottle adds the bulk of microplastics found within

I was thinking of an article from years ago where they were talking about macro plastics nearly visible to the eye getting into the liquid from breaking the seal. Can’t seem to find it now though

Yes but to a much lesser extent. The act of merely breaking the seal on the cap injects a lot of plastic into the liquid, so skipping that has to count for something

What’s infuriating to me is how casual the paywalls have become. Everyone wants a slice, even the folks who make cheat tables for singleplayer video games have an early access patreon. If you’re not getting a paycheck you better make it a side hustle.

Don’t forget to tip your friend when you laugh at their joke, they aren’t doing it for free.

We can absolutely blame Democrats. They were the incumbent party, typically an enormous advantage, and squandered it. The lesser of two evils wasn’t lesser enough. They didn’t even run primaries when they dropped their incumbent president, so I can’t even pretend the shame is on me.

I had a similar issue where a dead PC was resurrected after swapping the power cable. It’s never been a fix since, but I still try it.

I don’t think the answer is as simple as memes would like to believe. Personally I suspect the issue, in part, has to do with the cost of healthcare in the US.

Much like Republican voters have a need to pretend the GOP is actually helping them, I think holistic medicine rubes and anti-vaxxers have a need to discount the efficacy of unaffordable healthcare. They don’t need to worry about the price being a multiple of their income anymore, because they just now decided every doctor is a quack and a conman.

I suppose to them, the US Treasury is magic. You’d think the ‘titans of industry’ would understand that taxing is needed even when you can print money because money itself is a commodity. It’s only worth something if not everyone has it.

I mean that’s kinda what the new razr is. I got one because Asus enbiggened their ZenPhone to normal dimensions. And the razr folds in half but it’s still as wide as the phablets we pass off as typical.

The battery is still dense and the outer screen is still glass, so the weight distribution isn’t great without the extra length for your fingers to share the load. But it’s essentially an overgrown watch when it’s closed. I rarely open it, so it’s not like the external screen is useless.

Is the thumbnail a mashup of Elon and Donald?
