  • Hawaii governor says Biden could decide within days whether to remain in the presidential race

    Jump

  • the republican party has ignored valid criticism of trump for 8 years. unlike biden, trump's valid criticism is far more serious than biden looking and sounding old for one night.

  • Hawaii governor says Biden could decide within days whether to remain in the presidential race

    Jump

  • none of those candidates will get enough popular votes to win a state's electoral votes and 2 out of 3 aren't on enough ballots to total 270 votes. the only message a person who is on the left side of politics teaches the democratic party is that your vote isn't worth pursuing since you aren't going to vote for a democrat anyway. instead they will pursue the votes they have the possibility to get. often those people are much more centrist or right wing. you're taking yourself out of any potential influential position of influence.

    this is a binary choice. the winner will either be trump or biden. any vote not for biden is an indirect vote for trump because it's not going towards the only other viable candidate. this is how our system works and it's far too late to change it for this year.

  • Hawaii governor says Biden could decide within days whether to remain in the presidential race

    Jump

  • there are much better choices.

    the problem is that none of them decided to primary the incumbent successful democratic party president.

    so it's biden at the top of the ticket. if you didn't want biden to be the 2024 candidate, you should have worked harder to get another democrat nominated in 2020.

  • Hawaii governor says Biden could decide within days whether to remain in the presidential race

    Jump

  • he's already decided.

    he decided a week ago.

    you backhandedly calling for him to drop out only fuels the bullshit media narrative that's not focused on trump's myriad of seriously disqualifying incidents OR project 2025.

  • I hate Clouds - a personal perspective on why I think Clouds suck

    Jump

  • there are too many points of failure for me to ever be comfortable using the cloud as a primary storage option.

    i've always maintained this opinion when "the cloud" started being touted as being the future. and yet more corporations (including mine) are reliant on it. i mean sure, i can log in on my home computer and have some access to stuff as though i were physically at the office but that convenience ain't worth the headache if the main storage site crashes.

  • Morgan Spurlock, documentary filmmaker behind 'Super Size Me,' dies at 53

    Jump

  • turns out that he felt shitty not because of the food but because he was alcohol detoxing at the same time of his mcd experiment.

    I will agree fast food isn't good for you, but at the same time it's also not going to do what spurlock portrayed. just take a look at the workers who have been at a place for more than a few years.

  • Arizona's Democratic leaders get enough votes to repeal 19th century abortion ban

    Jump

  • I think it was more like a literal handful of arizona gop state legislators realized how bad of a look not repealing this law would be for the state republicans up and down the ballot this year and took away a cudgel the state democratic party was going to hammer every republican on the ballot with.

  • Only Cable News Viewers Think Israel isn't Committing a Genocide, Survey Finds

    Jump

  • you're going to get that when

    a) western media and journalists are deathly afraid of being labeled antisemites for reporting on what the secular government of israel is doing and

    b) cable news viewers skew overwhelmingly republican and conservative who are already antimuslim and pro israel to begin with.

    these are the people who are keeping the current administration from telling it like it really is. because I honestly don't believe that bibi would be as empowered to do what he's been doing in gaza if the us government isn't actively publicly condemning in plain language what has happened already.

  • USC cancels all commencement speakers amid criticism over decision to stop Pro-Palestinian valedictorian's speech

    Jump

  • university of southern california, a profile of courage

  • Books that are worse than the film (which was already bad?)

    Jump

  • there's so much different I'd almost consider them related and not an adaptation.

  • Books that are worse than the film (which was already bad?)

    Jump

  • would you like to know more?

  • Twitter’s Clumsy Pivot to X.com Is a Gift to Phishers

    Jump

  • who else but a genius would buy a social media company, remove the things that made it functional and useful, reintegrate and allow to overpopulate elements that made it worse, and destroy a multi-billion dollar icon and name render useless a word that the thing you bought created and is universally understood because he thinks calling stuff X is cool?

    not only a genius but ta soooper genius.

  • Why do people say "Catholics and Christians" in (USA) when Catholics are also Christians, as if they refer to it as a different religion.

    Jump

  • just about every christian I know sees other sects and offshoots as a separate religion. it's very sneech-like.

  • Tesla scraps its plan for a $25,000 Model 2 EV

    Jump

  • I wouldn't buy one. good job. elon destroying your brand name.

  • Fast food restaurant Wendy’s plans Uber-like surge pricing, with digital menu boards that change prices depending on demand

    Jump

  • there's a lesson that I learned in college that I still follow today: never eat lunch at lunchtime. unless I'm traveling I'm not eating at peak periods anyway so I really wouldn't be affected by this pricing change.

    I still don't like it though. unless that wendy's is the only game in town (literally) this isn't going to be good for business.

  • Apple Cancels Electric Car Project

    Jump

  • what are the chances it would have been way overpriced compared to it similar competitors?

  • Passenger sees Boeing 757-200 “wing coming apart” mid-air — United flight from San Francisco to Boston makes emergency landing in Denver

    Jump

  • the last time I was on an airplane was december 31, 2000.

    nothing since that time has encouraged me to break that boycott.

  • Skyrocketing bluesky engagement since opening to the public

    Jump

  • people are wondering if bluesky will end up like twitter. I'm not for one reason, twitter didn't start going to shit until elon took over, fired the content mod team, and let the neo nazis, porn bots, and cryptobros run rampant. twitter before elon was fairly functional and useful.

    when they eventually scale up I can see bluesky being what pre elon twitter was, especially with content moderation.

  • SpaceX execs are accused of joking about sexual harassment and firing workers for speaking up, report says

    Jump

  • didn't elon just have twins with a tesla staffer or am I misunderstanding? cause if that's true I can very much see that kind of thing going on at spacex too.

    the government should investigate that, and they really could do it since spacex has that multibillion dollar government contract.
