  • Non-Americans who have been to the US.. What is the weirdest thing about America that Americans don't realize is weird?

    Jump

  • I grew up in a home where we just never thought about wearing, or not wearing, shoes in the house. Like, we obviously didn't track mud all over the place if our shoes were that dirty, but if we were wearing our shoes inside, nobody said anything or cared, it was just whatever. Married a Kenyan who put her foot down and was like, "Are you crazy?" It's apparently a big thing elsewhere in the world. In Kenya alot of roads aren't paved, things get dusty, and it's just common sense that you don't walk all over the house with dirty shoes, so I get it from that perspective.

  • Israeli soldiers 'TikToking' potential war crimes in Gaza, new documentary reveals

  • Hopefully this will make future war crime prosecutions easier, supposing we live long enough to ever see that day.

  • We’re just going all in on trying to get to WW3 and the Rapture, huh?

  • The guy who wants to ban Muslims from entering the country is doing better among Muslims than the person who will probably get accused of being a Muslim by a good portion of the country.

  • He should take a photograph of it, then he could copyright that.

  • JD Vance brings 'sanewashing' to the debate stage

  • We should’ve been done with this shit almost 4 years ago. Trump and everyone else that participated in Jan 6 should’ve been rotting in prison cells by now.

  • [TIL] Florida had a smaller official population than West Virginia until the 1950 census. In the 2020 census, Florida had just over 12 times the population of West Virginia.

  • We’ll see how long that lasts for before most end up having to flee to other states. Another 10 years maybe?

  • White House quietly supported invasion of Lebanon, despite opposition from Pentagon and State Department — Politico

    Jump

  • I like Joe Biden in every other respect, but what the hell is up with this hard-on for Israel? Is it purely AIPAC and the Jewish-American vote, or is there some other calculus going into all this? I expected better, but they're just rubber-stamping anything and everything that Israel wants to do, no matter how fucked up.

  • Essentially a very large faucet

  • That he even has a good chance in hell of winning shows how far gone this country is.

  • Amazon tech workers leaving for other jobs in response to return to office mandate

    Jump

  • I’ve worked for companies that would leave it up to chance without a second thought. I’ve known people that worked there and Amazon doesn’t seem like it cares about its employees. Does it make sense? No, but there’s alot about corporate America that’s pretty dumb.

  • A global housing crisis is suffocating the middle class

    Jump

  • My condo has gone up at least $100k in value since I bought it just before shit went crazy, but that value is meaningless if I can’t afford to capitalize on it and move anywhere. I feel like I’m basically trapped in this house, since everything else has gone up so much more than my place.

  • Political mindset evolution

    Jump

  • If anything, society collapses and the very wealthy carve out fiefdoms for themselves and re-create medieval feudalism. They tell people they have a God-ordained to rule over the “small folk” and they continue on living like kings, albeit in a post-apocalyptic setting.

  • Brown bananas, crowded ports, empty shelves: What to expect if there’s a big dockworkers strike in the US

    Jump

  • After the Railworkers strike, I’ve read that the Biden administration actually got the owners to make concessions to the railworkers, though it didn’t seem to receive any press at the time, other than when railworkers had to go back to work.

  • Amazon tech workers leaving for other jobs in response to return to office mandate

    Jump

  • That was probably the intent. It works as a soft layoff. Do something wildly unpopular, knowing that a bunch of employees will quit. The ones left will pick up the slack, because obviously if they had anywhere else to go they would’ve left with the first group.

  • Elon Musk declares ‘If Trump is not elected, this will be the last election’ — says voting Trump is the ‘only way’ to ‘save’ democracy

  • I consider myself liberal, but online liberals love to jump to conclusions to find fault and assume the worst in other people’s comments, then accuse them of being one thing or another. It’s like a reflex, it just happens uncontrollably.

    “Oh, you like Downton Abby? Obviously you’re down with British colonialism and the oppression of third world countries.” Or “You liked Alien Romulus? Is that because you enjoy nonconsensual penetration and forced pregnancies?” Or whatever the hell the topic at hand is.

    It’s like a game of virtue-signaling one-upmanship to show, “Look how much better I am than you. I care about this thing you hadn’t ever considered before.”
