  • Americans can’t afford their cars any more and Wall Street is worried

    Jump

  • They already have. Why do you think grocery prices have been a major political talking point? Since most people don't have enough money to buy property where they can grow/raise their own food, and many municipalities explicitly ban the raising of animals to "protect" the agriculture industry, most people are stuck. Your only option is the monopolistic grocery chains.

  • It would be a perfect way to stage a military coup though.... You've got a reason to have thousands of troops on hand, military vehicles and armaments of various kinds.

    I'm not saying the military has any assertions on staging such an act, and it definitely would not be as desirable as the judiciary or the legislative branch holding him accountable. But... It does seem like a pretty good opportunity to exploit Trump's egomaniacal desire for puffery.

  • I just can't get over these section titles

  • Ancient Christian Magic is an academic source text, essentially an "encyclopedic" source of academic translations of real ancient sources with additional analysis by the listed scholars. The goal of the text is not for you to perform these spells yourself (good luck finding the required ingredients, like crocodile liver), but rather to use for study reference.

    That being said, this book is great and I pull it off my shelf and read it to people more than any other scholarly text I own. Something about Christianity and Magic gets people riled up, especially when they find out it mostly just so people can have better sex!

  • Big Joel has done a number of videos critiquing PragerU: PragerU PragerU Kids

    He's got more videos critiquing specific PragerU content as well, all from a couple of years ago.

  • Senator tells Native American candidate to go back to where she came from, storms out of public event

  • Yes! The Cooper's Ferry village site in Nez Pearce territory contains the oldest verified evidence of habitation in North America, with dates to 16.5k years ago. There is very likely earlier habitation sites, but they will be difficult to find, and many would have been on the coastline that is now miles out to sea due to sea level rise after the glacial melt.

    This buffoon couldn't have chosen a worse group to tell to go back to where they came from... They've been there since the glaciers. What a dense, ignorant and racist waste of space... too bad the constituents think enough like him that they vote this hate into office.

  • Four US daycare workers charged with spiking children’s food with melatonin

    Jump

  • Melatonin is quite commonly used as a sleep aid for children on the autism spectrum, or with ADHD, etc. Disrupted sleep, or insomnia can be a big problem and lead to a greater difficulty for children to handle stress or stimulus and can lead to a lot more meltdowns or difficulties with things they can otherwise handle. We used it regularly with our son (as recommended by a doctor) and it made a world of difference for his sleep and then his ability to handle the next day.

  • EA is looking at putting in-game ads in AAA games — 'We'll be very thoughtful as we move into that,' says CEO

    Jump

  • "Its in the game!"... Ads, that is.

  • Lithium-free sodium batteries exit the lab and enter US production

    Jump

  • Awesome! Isn't that always the way. People, agencies and governments love to put their name on new and shiny projects, but never want to fund labor or upkeep. I work for a non-profit and a big part of my job is begging for money to help us maintain the amazing infrastructure we have, but get very little support to upkeep.

    I've spent a lot of time visiting Roseau and Warroad in my life, so it's always nice to meet an American neighbor in the wilds of the internet. Manitoba is actually a cool place to visit, and your dollar goes a lot further. Come up to Winnipeg for a weekend and you'd be surprised how much more there is to do now than even a decade a go. It's food and music scene is awesome.

  • Howdy Neighbor, you could always move a little further north. We've got lots of people driving EVs up here in Winnipeg! I'm kidding, but there is at least some charging infrastructure coming rurally here in Manitoba, and you are starting to see a lot of commuters using them for 100+ km (one-way) commutes. That being said, we have similar issues if you need to drive long distances between rural centers, but the government subsidies to help install L2 chargers seem to be making a difference as more and more municipalities are installing at least one charger somewhere. I can understand how people are still hesitant about winter, with -20C (-5f) to -30C(-30f) being not uncommon (for now...).

  • YouTube could roll out ads while videos are paused after “strong traction” in experiment - Dexerto

    Jump

  • Why even show content? It's the ads that people are actually here for! Can you imagine the audacity of people, wanting a little creative content amongst our cloud of vapid, capitalistic hawking.

  • The majority of fairy tales (as told throughout human history) do not have happy endings. They were typically told to teach or reinforce hard social truths to prepare young people for the world. The "fairy-tale ending" is really an anachronism of modern, capitalistic story telling. Happy fantasy sells, and reinforces myths that benefit the elite, such as upward social and financial mobility (see Jane Austin, or every Disney movie), and the opportunity to become part of the landed gentry. The belief that everything always works out is itself a major piece of the capitalists propaganda machine, and because we fall for this, we keep making decisions against out best interests - We are all just one fateful encounter away from becoming rich or famous after all.

    Dutch police have detained activist Greta Thunberg at a climate demonstration in The Hague

  • Are you suggesting that in democratic countries that citizens should not have the right to free assembly? Or that active criticism of government or corporate powers should be banned?

    Not only would this be a dangerous precedent that belies fascist ways of thinking, it also would then take away any legal right you likely believe the Jan. 6 insurrectionists had to free assembly. Of course in that case they were actively breaking the law by entering restricted areas, brandishing weapons, committing acts of violence... Unlike these dangerous climate protestors who were blocking a public street (clutches pearls).
