That IS shit that matters. If that’s how someone talks about women in private, I don’t want to be in the same room as him, let alone give him more power over women. Along with his “locker room talk” defense, that was a perfect representation of the misogyny that we’re fighting against. It wasn’t that he used a dirty word, it’s that he thinks half the population are objects to be grabbed.
I agree it needs to happen, but how do we prevent them from parking all their money in offshore accounts?
Unfortunately I paid a stupid amount on Etsy for like a dozen stickers.
Same. I save them for when I’m out in the suburbs, or ideally for rural areas when I’m on a road trip.
Exactly. The article doesn’t explicitly make that point, but it’s like… Lots of people are willing to pay higher rent for an apartment complex with a pool, even if their neighbors also get to enjoy the pool.
This seems like a good thing.
I’m imagining the scene in Succession where Kendall’s on the phone, trying to play hardball with an investor like his dad did. Turned out he wasn’t good at it, and the investor never appreciated being hardballed in the first place.
“We have concepts of a plan”
If public transport is important, CityMapper can’t be beat IMO.
I agree that’s the ethically correct way to do things. To your first point, in the US we’ve found a workaround where we pay poverty wages and tie health insurance to your employment, so when you get sick, you’ll return to work out of necessity so you don’t lose your job.
Jesus christ dude. A few years ago we were marching hopelessly towards extinction, and then a handful of psychopaths decided we should be sprinting. One day a more intelligent lifeform will read our story as a classic tragedy.
You’re getting downvoted and I’m soon to follow, but everything you said is reasonable and it’s almost never wrong to ask for evidence. I continue to be surprised at how tightly this community clings to the narrative that non-voters alone decided the election.
They didn’t say it was caused by the newly elected Democrats, they said Democrats aren’t paying attention to the way people voted last week. AI data centers were one of the biggest issues in the midterms, and probably the reason so many rural red districts flipped blue. For such a pro-AI bill to get this much Dem support is incredibly stupid. If I was a voter who flipped, thinking the Dems would protect my town from data centers, this could send a message that “both parties are the same after all.” Our elected officials are supposed to represent us every day of the year - election season or not.
