I too am in disbelief. I guess it will take a little time for the effects of federal layoffs to be truly felt, but the price of food and goods will hit very soon. Maybe when people realise that their own finances just got a whole lot worse and they are choosing between heating and eating they might hate it more than they hate libruls.
If you can smell something, part of it is airborne. Pretty sure I know what peanuts smell like.
I've been on a lot of flights and never been served peanuts since the 90s. I was under the impression they did not serve peanuts on flights any more but those stories you linked say otherwise, but of course you can't stop people bringing their own.
I think you have to speak to a doctor and maybe see what the options are.
Let's say Russia invaded and occupied Alaska. The US tried to get them out but couldn't. After valiant fighting for years they turn to the international community for help.
The EU accuse America of starting the war and start directly negotiating with Russia without the US at the table.
The rest of the world says you need to sign this deal to give us your resources but we won't guarantee your security in return but as part of the deal to end the war swiftly you need to let Russia have Alaska.
The US says that is unacceptable and the rest of the world says that they are being disrespectful and don't really want peace.
It was hugely ironic that Trump and Vance sat and told Zelensky how things are based on what they've watched on TV, cutting off his attempts to correct them and then called him disrespectful.
It had the feeling of a pupil reporting to the headmasters office for punishment for fighting back against a bully. The headmaster didn't need to hear his side of the story because violence is not the answer.
I'm conscious that an analogy like this can appear insensitive and diminish the whole thing. Especially as Zelensky tried to say several times. "I'm not playing cards" when Trump made analogies about "you don't have the cards right now."
I am ashamed that I used to be a somewhat vocal advocate of Musk and Tesla.
I remember saying how great it was that Tesla released a bunch of patents to further humanity. I remember telling people I thought his nervous rambling presentation style showed he was a down to earth guy forced into the limelight who just wanted to bring his progressive vision to the world.
I remember praising the aesthetics of the model s and really wanting one.
I remember cheering on Tesla as the underdog taking on the established automotive giants through direct sales and installing their own charging networks etc.
I remember retelling the story of a model-s breaking the safety test equipment with glee and wanting what I thought was the safest car on the road which just happened to be the cheapest to run, the most environmentally friendly and with "ludicrous" performance.
I remember reading about full self driving and the car parking itself so you can drive to the door of whatever shop or restaurant you were going to and leave the car to figure out the rest.
Then the paedo guy thing happened. This is the moment I can point back to where I first reminded myself to think critically about something I was a fan of. I still excused it, "ok maybe Musk might be a bit of a dick, but at least he has a noble mission at heart "
Then the floods gates opened. Autopilot deaths. Union busting. Full self driving that is perpetually less than a year away. The cyber truck that reminds me of that Simpsons episode when Homer designs a "car". Nazi salutes....
How could I get it so wrong?
I am thankful that Elon Musk has reminded me that I like anyone else believe what I want to believe and fall for marketing more easily than I thought I would.
BUT I am ashamed that I am so stupid. Even more I'm ashamed that through my falling for it, I may have helped others fall for it.
We all live in our own little comfort zone. It takes effort to challenge your opinions. Truly challenge them. I fail at it more than I succeed apparently, but at least knowing that might help me be a little less gullible next time.
Billionaires think people read the Washington post because it's called the Washington post and not because of the journalistic principles and heritage behind it.
That said, journalistic principles are the enemy of the billionaire so they are happy to kill them.
On the plus side, if there is one, after this, they will never be able to say tax cuts for the rich benefit everyone because everyone except the rich is going to suffer massively. Trickle down my ass.
The "job creators" now have no excuses to continue laying off staff.
You might be thinking of upload? Digital afterlife where premium users get to experience everything normally and when you run out of money your bandwidth is limited.
This will be unpopular but I have found Marijuana users to be extremely biased against any negatives raised about the drug and conversely very biased towards accepting anything positive. Because of this and the fact that psychosis is rare, i.e. not the typical experience, the answer you are mostly likely to get here is that Marijuana doesn't cause it. You can only trust their personal "had it or didn't have it" but not what they say about never seeing it in others.
Imagine that it causes psychosis in 1 in 1000 users (I don't know the real ratio this is just for example). That would mean, based on personal experience alone, you would get 999 answers saying it's totally fine, and 1 saying it causes psychosis. You walk away thinking it's safe when maybe for you, it's not. Even if it was 1 in 10 you'd probably still think the consensus is that it's safe the 1 saying its not is going against the consensus so must have an agenda. Not what if the rate in the general population is 1 in 1,000,000 but the rate for people with a family history of mental illness is 1 in 3? Both can be true but which is the one that matters to you? Here you'd only be finding the 1 in a million number when you really want to know the one in 3 number.
Things like this are not about opinions they are about statistics. As someone else said, don't ask social media for medical matters, science is not about consensus it's about evidence. The laws of physics don't change based on how many people believe something.
Many comments here are the equivalent of saying "I've never seen a car crash so they must be made up, it's just fear mongering by the auto industry to put useless air bags and seat belts in the car to charge you more".
Honestly why does he care if it comes out? He was elected despite his actions which means his voters simply do not care that he tried to do this. It is more important to them that their guy wins than any criminality surrounding it. This will be taught in schools for years to come.
Those who didn't vote for him and most of the rest of the world already think it was despicable.
"Donald Trump didn't incite a mob to try to forcibly stay in power...
... and if he did it wasn't his fault because they misinterpreted his words...
...and if they didn't, he didn't really mean it...
... and if he did it was only because the election was stolen from him so he was justified...
... and if it wasn't Trump was a good president and deserved to stay in power as he did a lot of good when in office...
... and Iif he wasn't then at least he was a better candidate than Joe Biden...
...and if he wasn't he's a good business man and will be good for the economy and my tax bill...
...and if he isn't at least he tells me what I want to hear"
So for the light on the left, am I supposed to select the left most boxes in the first and second row? Or do I select one box that contains most of the light. Asking for a friend.
