Sometimes people just want to blindly believe something because it aligns with their belief system, not because it was rational.

It is. This turns off lots of moderate people. The only people that support these moves are the proverbial choir, and not even the whole choir but the really fervent members. This will have a net negative on the movement. Long term it’s g

There are a few NY democratic operatives of some renown in whose opinion the prosecutions were politically motivated. I think the statute of limitations had expired but through manoeuvering they were able to bring charges. That lends cred

That may be the case, but as in NY vs Trump, sometimes laws are used in novel ways, in that case 'falsifying business records' -ie. inflating asset prices; something the prosecutor herself engaged in. Previously, those were norma

Nope. Not at all. They put people on a path to citizenship, but they are not yet, till they are sworn in as a citizen. Residency can be revoked for criminal behavior, fraud, among other things.

Increased traffic and outdated systems plus more recent idiotic passing over qualified individuals over less qualified individuals is a much greater cause than faint and distant echoes of Reagan.

Trains travel on semi level grades -not steep. Trucks on the other hand do, even if only counting interstates. Having a large tonnage truck going up hill lose power would not be fun. Maybe they can make them more reliable than MUNIs impl

Europe does not produce a 5th gen fighter. By the time they get one out, the big three will have 6th gen fighters.

The devil you know… No one would ever trust China, not Vietnam, not anyone unwilling to take orders from them. The terms would be heavy.

It's a vicious circle. Farming mfg out, puts those people out of a job, those out of a job can get lower pay or go on the dole -that comes out of all those "poorer people's" taxes. And, while we're at it, why not ou

Good sensors are not cheap, they need recalibration, the app needs to be continually maintained. Some entity probably has a stupendous contract to maintain it.

Isn't that what pisspans are for? You don't do it out in the open. If you have a farm, cattle would probably produce much more though.

Countries will have to adapt to lower or even declining birth rates and deal with it. The world cannot just keep on growing indefinitely, unless we populate Mars or whatever. The UK, Korea, El Salvador, Israel, Netherlands, Rwanda, etc.,

The problem is high pop growth. If they regulated the growth to a manageable level, the problem would be manageable. As it is they are importing other countries' housing problems. We saw that in the Us in the 1920s where we had slum

Delivered groceries are more expensive, not everyone can afford the prices plus the expected tip. A beater auto is affordable for most families. People with dough won’t mind the extra expense, that’s usually a given.

A big part of the problem is the UK used to let in about 100 thou immigrants yearly, that figure is now over a million per year. That means putting up a new house every few minutes. Unless you let Lagos or Caracas-style slums flourish, tha

Also light transport works great for for single people and dinks. Once people have kids they likely would want a car. By that time you don’t want to do daily shopping and you don’t want to carry four bags of groceries on a bus, plus on ave

500Mzh vs 233Mhz, if you could afford the cooling. Maybe exaggerating the gap, but I think it was pretty big which contributed to the enthusiasm for DEC alpha.

Ultimately it’s because users consume shock content; if they didn’t it wouldn’t be surfaced and instead they would get whatever generates views be it cats or rainbows.

Do you need a bigger example than the tantrums thrown when they were verboten from endorsing a lackluster presidential candidate?

It almost did but Bezos is rescuing it from the other extreme. Remains to be seen if he leaves it in the center or takes it to an opposite extreme. Shame few who’re complaining now complained when it became a one sided mouthpiece for the

Are you saying those topics were covered fairly and honestly by legacy media but also including Twitter(before it became X) and Facebook? Maddow still pretends that all of the former were false stories and Russian disinformation when it’s

And honestly it’s been both parties who have been more than happy to pay lip service to the problem but instead of paring things add additional oversight that has no enforcement power so they only add more weight to the bureaucracy with a f

So like the Rio Grande and the Rio Bravo? They surely can follow that example since it’s the same two countries.

Yes, Roma/Rome, Koln/Cologne, London/Londres, Turkey/Turkiye, etc. Those countries ain’t suing Google for calling those geographical places differently in different languages.

Why do they have to go in that bent? Report the news, don’t inject prejudices into a story. All the things you mention are true but AP assumes few people know the ground truth and those that do they’d hope would just ignore it.

Boston City Hall in Mass is one ugly building. Unfortunately it now has “landmark” status. Several Calif State Universities as well decided to wear brutalist arch as a badge: Dominguez Hills, San Jose, etc. I suppose it’s cheap, so there

What are countries that hire more fairly than the US? I don't think there are many. Not even semi-homogenous countries hire fairly. They'd be biased against age, sex, looks, height, region, accent, baldness, etc. Japan, China,
