  • Palantir may be engaging in a coordinated disinformation campaign by astroturfing these news-related subreddits: r/world, r/newsletter, r/investinq, and r/tech_news

    Jump

  • It's really, really obvious, too. I don't have a reddit account anymore, but I occasionally scroll through popular, and r/world is such blatant propaganda that it makes r/conservative look reasonable. Like, damn guys, at least try to make it believable.

  • No, I believe it. Izzy is a perfect match for Brennan for a reason.

  • Deadlines

    Jump

  • I didn't do that because I wanted to. I just struggle to do anything important without a looming deadline. It sucks. I wrote a 25 page paper in a single night once and it was miserable (the experience, not the paper - the paper got an A).

    I'm trying to prep for a move right now and it's like I'm paralyzed. I know I should do the thing but I can't seem to make my body do it, so I just sit and hate myself.

  • Food For Millions Rots in Storage After Trump’s USAID Cuts

    Jump

  • It has to be. If it was really about saving money, they'd distribute what was already purchased and cut off future funding (well, if it was really about saving money, they'd look at the defense budget first), not let things we already paid for rot. This administration is made up of people who genuinely get off on the cruelty, like Kristi Noem and Steven Miller, and people who see it as a side effect that they don't really care about.

  • The joy of going through pregnancy along with your sister

    Jump

  • That's sort of what I wondered the first time I saw it. There's no real evidence that the caption matches the picture.

  • Release the fear

    Jump

  • It feels like if Shel Silverstein went just a biiit further.

  • Japan's historic work ethic is declining—45% of workers admit they're quiet quitting

    Jump

  • I've been reading more about the job market in Spain lately and it sounds like they have a similar problem. Not nearly to the extent that Japan does, but similar attitudes about being at work for unnecessarily long hours even if there's no real point. There doesn't appear to be any reward, either. I don't blame people for declining to participate.

  • Rebecca Shaw: I knew one day I’d have to watch powerful men burn the world down. But I didn't expect them to be such losers.

    Jump

  • Yeah like, they have negative charisma, so it's extra baffling. I cannot imagine a world in which I'd support Donald Trump, but definitely not in this one where he routinely shits his own diaper. If he was only disgusting mentally but was a good speaker or handsome or whatever, it would make at least a little more sense

  • Target foot traffic down for 11th straight week after caving on DEI

    Jump

  • I would've thought that if his tone wasn't angry, but dude sounded pissed, and it was a very abrupt change when I said why. I'm sure I'm not the first or only person to cancel for that reason but I didn't get "secretly agrees" vibes.

  • Target foot traffic down for 11th straight week after caving on DEI

    Jump

  • I called to cancel my red card and the guy asked why so I said it was due to their new DEI policies, or lack thereof, and he said, "WELL, wish there was something we could do to keep you but there's not so the account will be closed. Thanks for calling!" And then basically hung up on me. It definitely made me feel like the adult in the relationship.

  • Fears grow that Signal leaks make Pete Hegseth top espionage target

    Jump

  • Yeah but how many times could spies bribe the person in that role with a 6 pack? You could let him pick what he wants from the gas station beer case and he'd probably give you all his passwords.

  • What are some places in Europe with a low price level and worth traveling to?

    Jump

  • I think most of Europe has places that can accommodate that, especially if you travel outside of big cities. I'd put more of my budget into a place to stay and slightly less into food, but that's my personal preference, and I've found tons of meals out for a lot less than that. I don't think we spent more than maybe 40 euros for a meal for two anywhere in Spain, including wine/beer, and many were more like 25. Even Berlin and Munich were pretty reasonable and we made up the difference by going to Aldi for some of our breakfast/dinner food.

  • What are some places in Europe with a low price level and worth traveling to?

    Jump

  • What would you consider a low price level? My mom and I have been to a lot of places that aren't traditionally known as cheap, but we usually stay in places with a kitchen (aparthotels, mainly, we avoid airbnb) and grocery shop so we spend far less on food than a lot of people would. We also travel outside of peak season, primarily to avoid the crowds but it's also less expensive.

  • Temu and Shein will raise prices for US customers due to Trump's tariffs

    Jump

  • Good. Maybe people will quit buying that garbage that just goes in a landfill. That might be the one good thing about the tariffs in a sea of shit.

  • Do you use your blinker in a car?

    Jump

  • I've used it in to turn into my driveway when there are other cars around because some of my neighbors and most of the delivery drivers drive like total dicks and can't seem to figure out why someone would slow down in a neighborhood.

  • Trump exempts phones, computers, chips from new tariffs

    Jump

  • I'm pretty sure all the people who deal with imports have to be on the verge of a mental breakdown. What a nightmare. Policy made by a petty, stupid tyrant based on apparently nothing but vibes and changing as often as he shits his diaper is no way to run a country, but here we are.

  • Based on a true story

    Jump

  • Unless that $2000 used beater has major issues (and most do at that price these days) and you don't have the cash to fix them. Then you have a $2000 pile of crap and you still need a car. No, not everyone needs an expensive car, but sometimes there's a good reason to buy something that requires payments.

  • 'Catastrophic for American families’: Business leaders react as Trump imposes ‘Liberation Day’ tariffs on world

    Jump

  • I should've said I have zero faith in the wealthy to actually do anything useful. I just figure if things get too bad and their investments start losing significant value, some of them might speak up out of pure self-interest. Snapping up properties dirt cheap is only worthwhile if someone can afford to live there.
