Like it or not, the Overton window in the US did shift last election. So many comments trying to compare to Europe, or try to excise liberal from left seem to miss the point. When an election so divisive picks a side, there's your new

Well, from your viewpoint, sure. But if we pretend that only those three exist(obviously they don't, you have ABC, Bloomberg, CBS, and many, many more), it's not necessarily wrong to say that media has a liberal bias, since '

I think it's conflating a bit two ideas. Number of outlets vs number of viewers. I feel an argument could be made for either case, selectively. If we assume, for example sake, the country is exactly 50% left and 50% right, it makes s

Good suggestions. That would have completely reframed it in a more positive light. Even if staying on the 'worker' aspect, if they at least pretended to empathize, asked what's wrong/what they need, etc, could have put

I used to live in a neighborhood about a quarter mile from a highway, nearly perfectly flat land, speed limit I believe was 45 or 55. Most days the road noise itself was no big deal, if the wind blew it was gone, if you listened for it you

Keep a little patch of turf on the table next to your armchair, and you can touch grass without ever even getting up.

I agree on HN, though I think it's markedly different as it moves slow enough that you can just check it once or twice a day and get most everything you want. Whereas a lot of other social media is an unlimited feed of everything, eph

Serious Q, what are most people doing with their phones so much? Social media? Work? Watching rando YT vids? My wife's vice seems to FB, but unsure if that's what everyone else is doing.

I really don't understand why the two(or even three) of them didn't hop on a 5 minute call to understand what was being asked, instead of whatever hellish version of Chinese whispers this team dynamic is.

Right on. My bank calls me every time I send money out. And I'm talking like $50. I used to find it annoying, but now I'm blown away every financial system doesn't...

I hold this same belief, but have quieted about it because of how incredibly unpopular it is on this forum. Angry comments asking who am I to play God, if I'm so unhappy let me die and not them, etc. I used to get angry about such rep

I constantly go back and forth on this guy. On the negative side - he looks obviously aged, he wears tons of makeup and teen clothes and stands out like a sore thumb. He seems to kinda shill products that may or may not be snake oil. He a

Interesting. I'm not quite sure that's the same thing, but I may be wrong. Here are a couple articles describing it in PH[1 and 2]. It's not some limited access thing, it's literally unlimited data. Video calls, watchi

I can't read the whole article, but one important point is that Facebook subsidizes users from these areas. It's cheaper to get 'Facebook data' than regular data. As a result, life revolves around Facebook. All day, ev

That's a fair point. As an American, we kinda just expect English by the default. But for the rare movie or show worth watching, I can set that aside. I loved Squid Game. Shame they never made a second season(/s, don't re

Or even Toronto. I was surprised to learn Suits was filmed there, despite depicting NYC. That said, I'm not sure Netflix cares from that regard. They've been pushing me increasingly foreign content that I don't particularly

Not sure how true it is, but a few housing focused accounts I follow(that are admittedly more doom and gloom) are claiming house prices in and around DC are taking a beating as a result. It makes logical sense, but it's not something

I have no idea what's going on at Xbox. I'm not much a gamer anymore, but like to read about it still. The latest versions are a sales flop. The mid cycle refresh was canceled even(or whatever Brooklin was). And agreeing to rel

FWIW, you can get generally better results with different breeds. Golden Comets or ISA Browns will typically get you 1 per day per chicken. In reality if you had 10 you'd likely get 8 or 9 per day. They also seem to lay in the winte

Interestingly(to me), for the first time in my life the local backyarders and farmers are selling eggs for less than grocery stores. Much better quality, too.

It -is- pretty pathetic. My floodlights have better resolution, and I'm just a nobody consumer interested in watching wildlife move about.

I'm no therapist or expert, but I -think- I have some inclination. You admittedly never participated, so don't know what you missed out on. For everyone else, in your teens and 20s you're more often complimented, flirted with

So is asking ChatGPT to write your application, then open sourcing said application IMO. I see both sides here, but I don't think it's a hill worth dying on. The 'open source' part in this case is just not currently eas

He's not claiming any conspiracy. That would seem to indicate he believes either it didn't happen, or that airports collude to hide something. I think the request that airports have cameras is pretty basic, seeing as that freaki

For anyone unaware, Walter worked for Boeing for years and probably knows more about planes than anyone on the forum. It's likely not a morbid curiosity here, especially since noone died AFAIK, but genuine technical curiosity so he can

I think user moderation is where the opening will be. Reddit as a whole is pretty heavy handed in banning anyone who says anything wrongthink, or worse, actively bans users who participate in subs they don't approve of. You had Voat s

IIRC, Reddit created tons of fake users and posts early on to pretend to have a userbase. Given the rise of competent sounding LLMs since that time, it should be easier than ever to replicate that strategy...

It's funny seeing a Cuban place as #1, because it was the same in my old city. The Cuban places were upscale, fancy, had amazing food and drinks. They became the de facto 'take a visitor out' spot. No qualms there with the r

No agency is going to admit to fraud, which is not totally different than paying employees they didn't need. I'm also not a fan of the fire and rehire method, either. It does feel like more time should have been spent, from an out
