TIL conservatives are healthier than liberals because they have a greater sense of personal responsibility
  • The paper doesn't even prove that they are healthier due to a greater sense of personal responsibility. It only theorizes this sense of personal responsibility is a possible cause. As others have pointed out the study results could be explained simply by picking conservatives that are upperclass and have more time/energy/money to spend on being healthy.

  • Spotify removes music by pro-war Russian singers
  • No worries. The music contents were so appalling that I had to remove it to be sure it didn't violate Rule 2 even if the actual video context was a critique.

  • Rate of Young Women Getting Sterilized Doubled After ‘Roe’ Was Overturned
  • Super easy. I had a post-op infection that prescription antibiotics cleared up np.

    Don't consider it easily reversible. The doctors made it clear there's no guarantee

  • Colorado oil and gas wells can’t fund their own cleanup. Taxpayers may foot the bill | A Carbon Tracker report shows the cost to safely shut down low-producing wells is $3bn more than what they earn
  • It's not even that they "can't" fund their own cleanup. The put down a cleaning deposit before operations begin and just walk away when the cleanup costs more than they originally put down.

    I'd say they give the finger while walking but they need their hands to count their profits

  • Ukraine military says Russian troops pushed out of part of key eastern town

    June 27 (Reuters) - Ukraine's military said on Thursday its forces had forced Russian troops out of a district in the town of Chasiv Yar on the war's eastern front seen as Moscow's next target in its slow advance through the area.

    The Peace Corps released this warning for black people volunteering in Ukraine
  • You've already proven my point. No need to keep piling on evidence. You can just stop and reflect now on anything you're unclear about as it's all a simple re-read.

  • Oklahoma public schools leader orders schools to incorporate Bible instruction
  • This is all a blatant attempt to rile up the Right. They know this BS is unconstitutional and start the crap just in time for the inevitable court cases to strike then down around voting time. It's all about getting that outrage boiling

  • The Peace Corps released this warning for black people volunteering in Ukraine
  • Because the issue isn't racist depictions. It's a lack of education and a focus on intolerance instead of actually employing the sympathy you are demanding. Nobody is arguing the word or imagery is fundamentally racist in origin. We're saying they honestly don't know about that so need education. That's the context you are ignoring to go on your black knight crusade.

    You are the exact opposite of what the Peace Corps is asking their members to be. Hear the offensive word and you go on a rage fueled violent rant about how racist they are being instead of taking a deep breathe, looking at the situation and realizing they only use the word because it is the only one they know. Simply taking the time to inform them of how hurtful the word/imagery is without being a salty bitch about it is how fences are mended.

  • The Peace Corps released this warning for black people volunteering in Ukraine
  • Apparently there is because the post clearly states that there is a possibility a volunteer might hear that word but it not be intentionally racist. You're completely ignoring that half the message is 'evaluate and determine if it is ignorance or racism'.

  • An $18 Big Mac meal sparked a revolt against high prices. Companies are finally listening
  • Thank you. This should have been a top comment as it needs more direct attention.

  • Shot in 1.6 seconds: Video raises questions about how trooper avoided charges in Black man's death
  • The problem is escalation. You fire your shots in self defence, they back off an extra 50' and call in a "shots fired, officer needs assistance" call and suddenly 4 APCs, 20 cruisers and 2 helicopters are surrounding you. Cue sounds of 50 cal freedom suppressors being fired. And because you shot at them even though by the time its all over your body looks like a pile of spaghetti the shooting will be justified with barely a hearing involved.

  • Children are dying of starvation in their parents’ arms as famine spreads through Gaza | CNN
  • Because selling a few observation drones during the off years is more than made up for by bombing Iranian terrorist leaders and damage to Shahed production facilities (the far more dangerous 3rd party contribution).

  • Children are dying of starvation in their parents’ arms as famine spreads through Gaza | CNN
  • Really, what does terrorist have to do with indiscriminate murder...? You don't know? Really? REALLY? Israel has been putting up with indiscriminate murder of their innocent women and children for a century now and they've had enough.

    My guess is this whole shitshow will continue until your side finally says 'hey you know what Terrorism is a lose lose proposition and we should probably stop with this fanatical BS before we watch every one of our loved ones perish because Israel has had enough of our shit".

    Surrender, release the hostages, negotiate like civilized people to come to an agreement where both sides acknowledge there is residual pain but are willing to set it aside in the interest of a lasting peace that respects both sides. Or, keep on Jihading until the problem solves itself. Your call.

  • First Batch of Artillery Shells Under Czech Initiative Delivered
