Harris Taunts Trump After He Backs Out of Debates
  • He's going for the Parker Brothers defense, if you can't win the debate become a petulant child and flip the board over.

  • the prosecutor vs the slumlord
  • Apparently they finished not impeaching Biden too and switched to not impeaching Harris

  • I swear I check them often enough!
  • Once you hit 99+ in Firefox on mobile it changes to ∞

  • Young voters are moving toward Harris and feeling less ‘meh’ about voting
  • I wonder if I can find the same kind of article about younger voters and conservative politicians on Twitter or Facebook

  • Kids? A Growing Number of Americans Say, ‘No, Thanks.’
  • But there's no problem with the economy*

    *According to metrics that ignore working class savings, inflation, and prices for basic goods and services like groceries and housing increasing faster than inflation.

  • Kids? A Growing Number of Americans Say, ‘No, Thanks.’
  • Unbounded growth isn't progress, it's a disease.

  • “City Experiments with Reusable Cups at Starbucks, Taco Bell and 30 Other Restaurants–with Return Bins all over town”
  • Some places near me did this but stopped during COVID and never brought it back

  • What's a good chill album or tune to listen to while drinking coffee or tea?

  • Folk metal like Finntroll and Wintersun

  • Leaked UN report: Israeli war has killed 366 UN staff and family members as Netanyahu prepares to address Congress
  • Won't be seeing pictures or video evidence of any of that on corporate news, censorship does people a disservice

  • Bacon tho
  • Maybe I'm off on this but suffering/misery would include pain + the emotional state of unhappiness or we would just use pain for both? Avoiding painful stimuli doesn't tell me about their emotional state or cognitive awareness of the pain, just an awareness of the stimuli.

  • Bacon tho
  • How do you measure how much misery a cod feels?

    Edit: sorry that was a bit snarky. I don't think you're completely off the mark but I would think an animal needs at least a nervous system to experience pain, so there are categories to consider and it may be morally virtuous to abstain from eating some animals but not necessarily immoral, and we should be careful to anthropomorphize other animal emotional states.

  • Animals are not gifts.
  • Can you regift a giraffe?

  • What is something people you encounter at your job say that makes you want to scream? (Job, person & quote)
  • IT PR good managers do to sell the team and keep them off the block when layoffs happen because of say poor investment decisions like commercial real estate as that market plummets

  • Far-right trolls have launched a racist crusade against Kamala Harris
  • Vaguely reference rhetoric and past without any specific objections then write her off?

    Reasonable people not wanting to go to a political rally in person in 2024? I have better ways to get information and support candidates than standing around like an idiot all day.

    It is stupid, really.

  • Just a personal story of a boomer being a fool.
  • Sounds like she would have trouble spelling reciprocity

  • Crazy boomer who sends crazy texts to her kids surprised nobody wants anything to do with them
  • Comedian/actor who peaked in the 90's that mostly just 'old person yells at clouds and sometimes says racist things' now

  • Unlike JD Vance whose platform is mountain dew and wokeness
  • Single payer Medicare for all I think has been an idea considered to get us incrementally closer to a publicly funded option for all like federal employees like senators and reps currently have. If it's good enough for those citizens it should be good enough for all citizens, but getting there has been awful because oligarchs won't fund a campaign based on real public healthcare reform and political parties dump candidates who don't get money.

  • It's too late suckers, we've already moved his nervous system into a 30 foot tall rainbow colored tax payer funded robot who is coming to corrupt your jobs and emigrant your children.

    Tips for living an advertising free/minimal life?

    Just trying to live with as little advertising as possible and curious what tips or tricks the community has aside from moving out to a cabin in the woods.

    I can't really get away from road side advertising for now. Public sporting events are completely infected, and for the ads I am forced to see I try to make a conscious effort not to buy their goods or services. I won't subscribe to a streaming service if they have a sub+ad tier, if they're separate free with ads or sub no ads I'll support it.

    Not really for any moral stance, but ad blockers are good at avoiding malware and some services are basically broken if you have to wait for an ad network, and I just feel mentally healthier in general without the extra propaganda.
