  • I never see them because they aren't legally allowed on the road.

  • I live in Austin, and I probably see 1-3 Cybertrucks per day. I used to feel deep vicarious shame for them, but that's slowly transformed into speechless incredulity

  • I never see them because they aren't legally allowed on the road.

    Jump

  • Very early on, I think there were some well-meaning people who were really excited about it. The idea of an all-electric truck was brand new, and the promise was huge. It unfortunately wasn't until after many Cybertruck preorders had been secured that Elon plainly revealed his true colors, and then after it was delivered that people found out it was a piece of garbage

  • How do you decide if you are living a “good life?”

    Jump

  • Mistakes and regrets are a fundamental part of how we grow as people. What you learn from them and how much attention you give them later (e.g. letting go vs. dwelling in shame or anxiety) are what really matter

  • Most Of BilIionaires’ $7.6 Trillion Has Never Been Taxed - Americans For Tax Fairness

    Jump

  • Land value tax? How would that fix any of this shit? That wouldn't even make a dent in the wealth disparities we're seeing in the US

  • Adolescent Cannabis Use Linked to Doubling Risk of Psychotic and Bipolar Disorders

    Jump

  • Additionally, schizophrenia and bipolar disorder are both heritable conditions, and if a parent or grandparent has one of these diagnoses, the family is significantly more likely to also be experiencing poverty or other adverse events, which in turn makes it more likely that the predisposed child will develop the inherited condition.

  • Adolescent Cannabis Use Linked to Doubling Risk of Psychotic and Bipolar Disorders

    Jump

  • More specifically, for someone who has a genetic predisposition to developing schizophrenia or bipolar disorder, cannabis use will make it more likely that you yourself will develop that condition. If you have someone in your family with schizophrenia or bipolar, you would do well to avoid cannabis use, especially as a teenager or young adult.

  • France Returns Sacred Talking Drum to Côte d'Ivoire in Major Cultural Repatriation Effort

  • France Returns Sacred Talking Drum to Côte d'Ivoire in Major Cultural Repatriation Effort

    Jump

  • It is one of hundreds of objects France is preparing to send back to Africa, with the efforts set to be accelerated by the passing of a new law to authorise mass repatriations.

    I just don't understand how France returning artifacts is a bad thing. This is a good thing. Take the fucking win and move on.

  • Are you saying this article is French propaganda? If so, what would you have them do instead, keep the drum?

  • Trump Privately Dreams of Iran Regime Change Glory as Democrats Cynically Weigh Political Benefits of War

    Jump

  • Trump and his aides have pressed war planners for assurances that chaos produced by any U.S. military action would calm down in time for the midterm election season to kick into high gear.

    He has no idea what he's dealing with here. Iran is not Venezuela. I wonder who in his administration is pushing this and feeding him info about Iran, because he certainly doesn't care about this independently

  • A Fatal ICE Shooting Occurred in Texas Months Before Renee Good’s Killing

    Jump

  • No one's claiming black and brown people aren't disproportionately targeted by law enforcement. I'm saying the argument that "no one cares when it's a brown person" is patently false, and that the government-sponsored murders that occur on video are the ones that elicit a strong reaction, regardless of skin color.

  • A Fatal ICE Shooting Occurred in Texas Months Before Renee Good’s Killing

    Jump

  • Rodney King being brutally assaulted by LAPD was also caught on film, and it also made huge waves nationwide. Two of those officers went to prison and Rodney King was awarded $4 million in damages

  • A Fatal ICE Shooting Occurred in Texas Months Before Renee Good’s Killing

    Jump

  • I get where you're coming from, but your argument is completely undermined by the fact that this murder wasn't captured on video (in addition to only finding out about it 11 months later). The video really is everything. You might recall another person murdered by government officials on video by the name of George Floyd, a black man, whose murder made some pretty serious waves.

  • Epstein Scandal Leaves Some Young Trump Voters Feeling Betrayed

    Jump

  • I read something recently, I don't recall where, that focused on a group of young people who voted for Trump in '24. For them, Trump had dominated politics for most of their living memory, and they're too young to remember what politics was like before him. Many of them viewed him as "normal," and lots took him at his word when he said he was going to do certain things. I'm glad they're waking up to the reality.

  • This MF is quadrupling down and dropping Alien files before dropping the full, unredacted Epstein Files. GODDAMN.

  • He's always been a caricature of himself, but he's being a caricature even more bigly these days. He's becoming further removed from reality by the day

  • UK: Ex-Prince Andrew arrested on suspicion of misconduct

    Jump

  • Definitely this. The more ongoing investigations there are in other countries, the more likely it is for damaging info to come out AND it will keep the Epstein files in the news for years more.

    An investigation was also just opened in France
