Perhaps this is a function of "easy to find". Food deserts are a problem with regards to a lot of families only having little access to fresh foods. When you have to drive 30 min to the IGA, maybe you overbuy compared driving the

They're cheap, easy to find and easy to prepare. With grocery prices going up, what little progress has been made might get reversed, unfortunately. Making America healthy again means making non-ultraprocessed groceries available to ev

Trump is already talking about going after his perceived political enemies via the IRS. I guess if the President of the USA wants to target you, he'll get you, but still, no trouble is overstated when the government actively works agai

What is or isn't edgy is defined by the dominant culture of the time and place. It changes over time. Stuff probably does weird you out, but maybe it's on a different axis than Cartman accidentally joining NAMBLA. I mean, if you t

This thread is about the economy, so that is what I commented on. That aside, it is important to note that Trump won the popular vote with fewer than half of voters voting for him and with a lower margin than Clinton's popular vote vic

Trump only started at 49% approval rating and is currently at 40%. If you consider this as not having "dipped that far", it can only be because it was never high to begin with, although I think an 18% difference is significant. Th

Are we at a point where graphics and gameplay in 10-year-old games is good enough? Personally, there are enough good games from the 32bit generation of consoles, and before, to keep me from ever needing to buy a new console, and these a

Why do you think this? Talking to Canadians (and Americans) who self-describe as left of centre, from centre-left to progressive and even a few beyond, this is not the case. People were afraid of what Poilievre would do. Americans definitel

Not many knew they existed! They are sought after by collectors, and fetch a pretty penny. At least they were when I was getting into PC Engine/TurboGrafx gear ~15 years ago. I'm sure it's even more now.

The thing is though, cops harass people, cops abuse their power, courts prosecute who they want, with or without Flock. This is a valid concern, but the root of the issue, I think what we should focus on first or primarily, is that the just

You can't take these things in a vacuum. Labor has gotten weaker over time. AI just gives more power to employers. Take Klarna. They laid off 700 people, realized it was a mistake, but they are hiring people back as gig workers [0].
