  • rules discussion

    Jump

  • good idea. I'll add these to an unacceptable source list in the sidebar. Most of the reports have come from posts like that so I think a majority of people would agree with limiting posts from them.

  • rules discussion

    Jump

  • I completely agree.

    I liked askhistorians, as I felt like the moderation added to the quality a lot, but /r/science never seemed to achieve that level of quality. Though when they did start with the heavy moderation/clear rules with tags (I think flair was a later addition) it was a marked improvement off what it was before.

    I'm open to suggestions, and I'll just leave the draft rules up for awhile to get feedback.

  • You're likely eligible for your states Medicare subsidies. Democrats fixed the family glitch in 2022, so you'll likely save thousands switching off your employer plan, even if you're making low six figures.

    Of course those subsidies expire in 2025, and there is a snowballs chance in hell of those getting renewed now.

    Democrats did a lot of things to improve the lives of working class, at least as much as they could get pass the Republican house.

    Their problem is messaging. They are terrible at communicating what they're doing, and how it's going to help. I mean part of that problem is the media (ie fox news) is allowed to lie and Dems try to tell the truth. The playing field is not really level.

  • but vaccines are not foolproof

    Yes they are. Only pointing out so there is not unnecessary fear spread about rabies. It is 100% preventable before or after exposure.

    Does the rabies vaccine work? The rabies vaccine works remarkably well. Studies indicate that if the vaccine is given immediately and appropriately to someone who was bitten by a rabid animal, it is 100 percent effective.

  • I probably wouldn't trust airplane mode, but I do believe power off is safe. There is no transmit capability in off correct?

    But yeah, leaving phone at home is best knowing tracking sites like these exist.

  • Or just hit airplane mode / power off. Or just leave the phone at home, the procedure takes only 5-10 minutes.

    People are way to attached to their phones. The world will not collapse in that hour, it is a survivable event, or so I hear from reputable sources.

  • One can appreciate the sentiment of the quote to value every minute while you have it, but under a more optimistic lens, the quote is not always true. I was 10x unhealthier 20 years ago than today, and I would give anything to never be there again. We all walk a different path.

  • Trump biopic 'The Apprentice' hits theaters amid fury from his campaign

    Jump

  • Yes! Donald Trump is the mathematic equivalent of the absolute symbol. example: |-99| + |-594| = 693

    A negative story is coverage, makes the left talk about him which riles up the right to fight back and vote because they feel oppressed. The right doesn't live in reality, so as long as they know Trump is being talked about that makes him their guy.

    I realized this very quickly in 2017 that people were falling for the trap. I have no idea why anyone upvotes anything with Trump in it.

  • Thursday’s deal came after Biden administration officials met with foreign-owned shipping companies before dawn on Zoom, according to a person briefed on the day’s events who asked not to be identified because the talks were private. The White House wanted to increase pressure to settle, emphasizing the responsibility to reopen the ports to help with recovery from Hurricane Helene, the person said.

    Acting Labor Secretary Julie Su told them she could get the union to the bargaining table to extend the contract if the carriers made a higher wage offer. Chief of Staff Jeff Zients told the carriers they had to make an offer by the end of the day so a manmade strike wouldn’t worsen a natural disaster, the person said.

    By midday the Maritime Alliance members agreed to a large increase, bringing about the agreement.

  • After Missile Attack, Israel May Be Ready to Risk All-Out War With Iran

  • It doesn't take a genius to see this tit-for-tat is just going to continue and amplify each time. Strike, bigger counterstrike, rinse & repeat. Without a doubt Israel's next strike is likely going to be the biggest we've seen yet.

    Honestly, and I don't think it's hyperbole, but I think there is nothing in the current environment that is going to prevent a full-scale total war in the middle east, possibly even beyond that.

    I hope I'm wrong.

  • America's youngest voters turn right

    Jump

  • This is not that unexpected. There hasn't been much excitement in the democratic party since 2016 when Sanders movement was stampled. Young voters are still progressive, but there has been no good ringbearer.

    Reality check: The youngest age group still appears to favor liberal positions on some issues as much as those ages 25 to 29, Anil Cacodcar, the student chair of the Harvard Youth Poll, noted.

    In a poll earlier this year, the younger group was just as likely to say basic health insurance is a human right and government should spend more to reduce poverty.

  • Trump says Ukraine is 'demolished' and dismisses its defense against Russia's invasion

  • I suppose it’s considered acceptable for the Polish people to suffer like that for the sake of the state interests of Poland and The League of Nations, but personally I disagree, which is why I want the war to end. I personally don’t see how continued fighting is meant to benefit the average Pole.

    Because dictators use the new land for continued invasions while exterminating the non compliant population. War is a better condition to be under fighting for freedom, than the conditions of the Holocaust and complete despair.

  • Trump suggests giving Vladimir Putin whatever he wants

    Jump

  • If Poland were to suddenly surrender to Germany, everything would be “much better,” at least according to Donald Trump.

    During an afternoon press conference Wednesday, the Republican presidential nominee urged the Eastern European nation to submit to the foreign power, claiming that any deal, no matter how dismal for Poland’s freedom, would have been better than the current state of affairs.

    “Poland is gone. It’s not Poland anymore. You can never replace those cities and towns, and you can never replace the dead people, so many dead people,” Trump said. “Any deal, even the worst deal, would have been better than what we have right now.

    It's scary how few words I had to replace to make that work. Appeasement of a genocidal dictator does not have a good historical track record.

  • That's what high beams are for... Cars don't need to light the dark side of the moon, drivers only need to see the roadway in front of them. Both provide ample illumination, it's just one allows you to see the color of a zit on a mouse 3 miles away, which is entirely not necessary for safe night driving.

    And I was saying that some higher end incandescent lamps are equivalent to some LEDs. I know there are LEDs that far exceed the lumens of traditional lamps.
