The absolutism of the second amendment is what is baffling to me. I understand the argument that it is a hedge against tyranny, although I think it is a very naive and misdirected one since the role of a free press and our political institu

I don’t care either way about the acronym, but drug addiction has nothing to do with character. It is a disease and should be treated as such, and in fact the only proven way to stop drug addiction is through treatment.

I actually have real life - if anecdotal - experience to answer this. I cut to decaf from a 3 large cups a day habit of black coffee over a year ago. My productivity has actually gone up. I am mainly attributing this to the reduction in an

We’ve had all three in NYC (depending on what you mean by antifa since outside of Seattle it’s mostly a non-existant scarecrow of right wing talking heads) and things are booming. Homelessness is pretty bad and crime has climbed, but we’re

Hillary conceded defeat the day following the election, Trump still hasn’t to this day and continues the grift based on his lie of stolen election all the while destroying our democracy and fulfilling Putin’s long term goals. It’s pathetic

And to add: Musk is suffering from the anti-woke virus if that’s (his tweet) what he thinks is the reason for Netflix’s slump.

Price increases in the middle of an unprecedented glut of content on so many other competing services, and a lot of strong competition. It’s not surprising. They also need more editing, there is a lot of good content on Netflix but there is

No, that is a ridiculous whataboutism, those protests were not instigated or supported by the opposition politicians, and the scale and purpose of those protests wasn’t even in the same league.

What sets apart January 6 is that it was instigated and promoted by a seating president who had just lost an election with the backing of a significant portion of elected officials, all openly attempting to cancel a legitimate election. It

I keep hearing/reading this deluded argument and variations of whataboutism. The simple fact is we had a president who attempted to use his influence to force an election he lost to be overturned. He spent months announcing his intenti

It is not the Biden admin that handed it over, the deal for the hand off was negotiated and signed by the previous admin.

The 2k deaths per day are vast majority unvaccinated, republican governors in those states are partly directly responsible for the low vaccination rates by participating in this madness of misinformation and partisanship. These people shoul

They are doing it now because the vaccination rate is high enough that the increase in transmission will not translate into overwhelmed hospital systems. Doing it earlier in dense population centers would have been complete madness. No one

There is nothing brave about republican governors in majority republican states following the misinformed party line for political brownie points on mask mandates and vaccines, in fact the exact opposite would have been brave and saved thou

That’s as ridiculous and argument as claiming a link between modern socialism and the nazi party because of a shared name. There is one party that’s all about « state’s rights » today, the same argument used to justify slavery.

Our democracy has mostly worked for almost 250 years - other than during the civil war - because of a single fact: all participants agreed to play by the rules. A democracy is a social construct, it only exists because we all accept to foll

in my experience it’s pure PR bs with no teeth in response to public pressure. Getting past the code verification is trivial in stores. Employees do not enforce verification at all or even when they do a decent fake id would easily defeat i

The proven best way to reduce deaths is to get people vaccinated. The vast majority of deaths are now from the unvaccinated. So the one single thing that makes a difference is the one these two administrations differ the most on, the previo
