  • AOC voted against MTG’s amendment to strip Israel funding from the Defense Appropriations Act of 2026

  • Because it's not money. It's the value of the equipment that they are given or allowed to spend the money on. We give them 500 million or whatever in credit towards American companies that make defensive equipment.

    If we only gave them the giant suit of armor, and nothing else, then that's all they could possibly use. Defense.

    If we give them no suit of armor but tons and tons of guns then that's all they could possibly use. Offense.

    That's the difference here, MTG wants to remove their defense so that they get more aggressive. AOC says that's ridiculous and we should remove their offense while keeping their defense solid. AOC cares about all life not just who's side is getting bombed now.

  • No, her goal is to preserve life. Israel needs defense just like any other country. They don't need the other three billion dollars that we give them for offense. Removing their money for defense is the dumbest idea. That is what AOC is pointing out.

  • Well that is certainly one interpretation of her words. Maybe not the one closest to the truth but definitely one way of thinking lol.

  • It's more that because of elon's single-mindedness and pettiness that we can measure his effect on the platform and extrapolate that to other social media. So this would give us a good basis of measurement for the forced memes that big tech companies want us to spread when they aren't being so obvious.

  • I would say, pleasantly, that Bill Nye suffers from one of the classic blunders of academia. Just because you're smart about one specific niche subject in one specific niche field doesn't mean you are smart about every subject in every field. Most scientists are quite honestly just as knowledgeable as the rest of us in any field that they didn't academically study. That sounds like common sense, but once you have a PhD on your name you kind of forget it.

    Bill Nye is an expert mechanical engineer, and a middling to decent planetologist. Any subject beyond that and he's just as good as you or me even though he speaks with an authoritative voice.

  • Stop killing games reaches 1.2m signatures

    跳过

  • ELI5 for the 1.2M number:

    Hitting 1 million signatures is the final goal but that's counted after the signatures are verified for legitimacy. With a petition like this, 20 to 30% of the signatures are stricken from the final count. So having a large buffer above the 1 million number is essential.

  • No but I would like people to be arrested for causing insurrections. Arresting people on political affiliation would be tyranny. We should only arrest people based on the crimes that they commit

  • Self-censorship and the ‘spiral of silence’: Why Americans are less likely to publicly voice their opinions on political issues

    跳过

  • I self censor at work because people can be pretty petty and there's just so many ways to get screwed by a random acquaintance.

    Out and about with anyone else though I'm ok because i understand most issues well enough to not make myself look silly.

    On Israel Palestine though there is no right answer.

  • Emma Watson speaking about feminism

  • Honestly this is the answer. You can look and also be respectful to the person at the same time. That is what both feminists and others want. Just not the bigots, they don't know what respect is.

  • Let my Duolingo streak expire cos I don't want to give them any more AI training for free and this popped up 🙄

  • It's a modern language with a country that speaks it as a primary language, but it's not as widely learned so I don't want to doxx myself. Duolingo is the only one that has more than a beginner's level in this language. Beyond that I have to actually talk to people, like with italki. That's going to be hard because I don't even like talking on the language learning discord lol. I need to know it for my future plans, but that isn't overcoming my introverted desire to not talk to people.
