Republicans have more psychopathic traits than Democrats, according to a psychology survey  
  • Kind of goes with the fact that many republican policies are decidedly psychopathic.
    Like taking away food stamps, being against raising minimum wage, denying pregnant women life saving healthcare. Making it illegal to give water to immigrants and on and on.

    I've been saying America as a nation has a mental health problem for the past decade. And it's been getting worse. This problem is almost exclusively visible on the right.

    Trump is a flaming malignant narcissistic psycho- and sociopath and malignant liar.
    To not be able to see that, you must share some of the same traits. Or to see it, and decide you want to vote for him anyway, also require sharing some of those traits.

  • Should the Harris campaign co-opt this t-shirt?
  • rather than why we shouldn’t elect the other guy.

    There are VERY legitimate reasons to warn against Trump, and Trump then blowhorns the other way, to make it look like both sides are the same.
    Republicans make scandals of EVERYTHING, just to make a scandal, remember Obama wore a tan suit? And had Dijon sennep on a sandwich!!

    Both sides are not equal in this. Republicans were always worse, and Trump has taken it to another level.

  • Should the Harris campaign co-opt this t-shirt?
  • Even though they removed Biden in a coup.

    Biden stepping down is called a coup?! But an actual coup attempt like January 6th, illegally invading congress and killing officers and threatening to kill several politicians is OK???

    What the fuck are those MAGA idiots high on?

  • Kamala Harris closing gap on Trump in tight 2024 race, polls show
  • I figured she was OK because she is obviously better than the Trump MAGA weirdness. And I figured she would have better chance of winning than Biden.
    But honestly she has been quickly gaining a lot beyond that on me, Harris is actually quite good IMO on any political view she has mentioned since Biden withdrew.

    Also some of the old smear against her, has been thoroughly debunked, I really hope she wins.

  • Allegedly Russia can make about 100 tanks per month, only enough to sustain losses of 3-4 per day.
    But they have lost about 8 per day on average, They've already been digging into old storage, that require restoration for a while now. And these reserves are dwindling, It's already obvious that Russia is using fewer tanks than they did last year, and that decline is bound to continue, as they dig into older and more and more useless storage. Russia is already restoring tanks that date back to the early 60's.

    They are estimated to have about 1700 tanks now, and about 4000 in storage that need restoration to be functioning. So considering they've lost about 8000, that's not a lot anymore. Despite huge efforts to build and restore tanks, it's estimated they now only have about half of what they had when they started the war, and the average quality is worse. The Russian war capability is declining.

    https://www.newsweek.com/russia-firepower-war-losses-casualties-ukraine-1880852

    It's interesting IMO that the Russian equipment is declining in capability and quantity despite they've had a war economy for some time now. Compared to WW2, where capability increased dramatically very quickly. Russia has not been able to do the same.

  • Trying to contextualize Kamala Harris's past
  • This is complete garbage, it's an attack piece with absolutely zero content to back it up, repeating old smear rhetoric against Harris, despite it's been thoroughly debunked.
    Shame on you @[email protected] for even posting this.

  • The total combat losses of the enemy from 24.02.22 to 24.07.24
  • How many able bodied men of serving age do you think they’ve got at the moment? Maybe 7 million?

    A very rough calculation: If we say from 18 to 45 year males that aren't seriously unfit, I get 120 million people in Russia, times 37 year age span divided by about 70 year average age, divided by 2 for males, and divided by 2 to sort out the unfit, I get 10 million.
    So if you heard or estimated 7 million that's probably about right. According to Ukraine Russia already lost half a million from the 10 million.

    In Ukraine, that would get them another decade of positional stalemate meat grinder tactics. Then what?

    The problem is that Russia still need everything else to function at home too, and it takes time to train proper soldiers, and they don't have as much capacity for that as they used to. So even if they mobilize 1 million, I seriously doubt Russia will be able to maintain their current positions. Russia simply doesn't have enough equipment to support it, even if they send them all to the front after way to short training.

    I suppose (hope) Russia will lose more territory soon, because their ressources are dropping in both quantity and quality. Remember they already lost Kherson and Kharkiv and a lot of territory they took early in the war.

    It will be difficult for Russia to scale up the war effort from here, or even to maintain it, because their economy is already suffering.

  • The total combat losses of the enemy from 24.02.22 to 24.07.24
  • Russia is not running out of people soon. But a couple of days ago, there was a military expert on Russia state TV, that claimed that to "liberate" Ukraine would require drafting another ½ million to a million. He then questioned whether it was worth the sacrifice of hundreds of thousands lives to "liberate" Ukraine.

    This is a shocking shift in tone, that should land him in prison, yet he was allowed to say that on Russian TV!!

    Russia's Kharkiv offensive – what is the plan?

    >Russia has launched an offensive into the Kharkiv region, and it has created a lot of alarmist news reports. In reality it is difficult to see what Russia's plan is, and it is not self-evident that it is a smart use of resources. In this video I discuss whether we might be seeing a return to the fragmented command structures that Russia had in the beginning of the war.

    4 months durability for an $800 phone!

    My old $200 Motorola G9 Power phone lasted almost 4 years with only very minor scratches. Obviously in that period I have dropped it a few times getting out of the car, where the phone sometimes work itself out of my pant pocket while I drive, and then it slips out when I get out of the car. But no problem on my previous phones, despite the Moto had cheap Panda glass front.

    Then I bought my $800 glass back Xiaomi 13T Pro in January, and I loved the phone for the camera and good specs. But alas after only 4 months, and single drop of just 30 cm while sitting on the porch, the glass back immediately cracked! The back now looks like an ugly mess, and the high water resistance is very likely gone too.

    For sure the last time I buy a phone with a glass back!!!

    I wonder why glass back is so popular, and I curse the media for reviewing the Samsung Galaxy S2 as "feeling a bit cheap", because the back was synthetic, and drop tests showed it was 10 times as durable as the iPhone with its glass back.

    Samsung did it right in the beginning, glass backs are a curse.

    PS: I don't use condoms for my phones, if they need that for daily use, it's an obvious design flaw!!!

    The glass back is supposedly there to give a premium feel to the phone. But because it's fragile, people have to use a cover, but with the cover, the premium feel of a glass back is gone anyways? How is glass back not a design flaw?

    EDIT FOR CLARIFICATION:

    I am not clumsy, that's why I believe the phone should be able to last without cover. This was the first time the phone slid out of my packet, and I've NEVER dropped it out of my hands. One 30 cm slip and it's broken. Where for instance my Moto had maybe 4-6 in all over the years, and remained unscathed, apart from some tiny scratches. The sliding out of pocket does occur maybe a couple of times per year, but it's a low drop, and the phone should absolutely be able to handle that tiny drop, as it's an item for everyday use. I've also never had problems with scratches on my screen on any phone, which is the reason people use screen protectors I guess, which I don't either, because they are ugly, for instance they create a tiny ring around the camera, and they feel awful IMO, my phone came with it, and it took exactly 10 seconds for me to decide to remove it, because I could feel the edge of the screen protector when using the phone. But please stop with the dropping my phone regularly comments! Just because I dropped my Moto a few times (slid out of pocket) over almost 4 years! Always from low height, which it should be able to handle a few times.

    Why do Google searches not give maps links anymore?

    It used to be very convenient that when searching for something that had a geographic location, Google searches used to show a small map which linked to Google maps when pressed. Now all I get i a tiny useless map, that doesn't have any of the feature of Google maps, and often I don't even get that. Anyone know why that is? And if there is a fix? I use Firefox, but I'm guessing it's independent of browser, unless Google is up to their shenanigans again. I've added Google maps as search option, which luckily is dead easy in Firefox to do. At the same time I added Open Street Map, to minimize Google map use to maybe show them they are losing traffic.
