I hope that the blatant push from the media will backfire and get the average right winger to abandon their favorite news sources.

What a surprise, Elon is wrong about yet another thing.

Damn. I didn’t realize. I have had it recommended by a doctor for mild sinus infections along with an anti inflammatory and it seemed to help, but I must admit I didn’t check any studies. I will say that the few I did find were about coughs, which could be different

What they said plus Mucinex (or the generic) makes the goo more fluid so it can drain out faster/better. Irrigation with a neti pot or sinus rinse bottle can be a huge help too. Use 2 packets of the salt that comes with the bottle; the extra salt helps draw water out of the tissue to reduce swelling. Try to snarf the water down the back of your nose and spit it out of your mouth.

Good luck. PND is annoying AF

The average person likes stuff and wants their stuff now. The average person will buy shit on a credit card even though saving up to pay cash would make the cost much cheaper. Particularly disciplined people may put off purchases for a few months if they think the price will drop (maybe a few years for something really big like a house) but those folks are the exception rather than the rule. Are there real world examples of times when deflation triggered a mass consumer cash hoarding? Or is this something that only exists in economics books?

If you’re talking about investing and the behavior of companies, then maybe you’re right. Although I suspect it would also depend on interest rates and stock market performance.

You’re right but I am sincerely surprised that they are backing away from these candidates instead of doubling down. I was certain that GOP Congress would let Trump get his way.

Everyone should have left a long time ago. Musk allowed racist, transphobic and misogynist content to grow since he took over Twitter. Actually, “allowed” is the wrong word. He actively encouraged, posted and amplified it. But better late than never.

Musk is a pathetic dumpster fire of a human being and a perfect counterpoint to any argument that we live in a meritocracy.

This needs a NSFL tag.

And RIP to the camera person’s eyes. Surely they were blinded by the glare.

I thought for sure this was from The Onion. What a clusterfuck.

Yes! Louder 👏🏾 for 👏🏾 the 👏🏾 people 👏🏾 in 👏🏾 the 👏🏾 back 👏🏾

They were too quick to try and fundraise off of the loss but they’re too busy to take action? Fuck these clowns.

Even carpenters and masons need geometry

Women is probably fine to use when the ages can be gleaned from context. You can also make the noun non gendered and use female as a adjective like “female students” or “female patients”

My understanding is that Trump did not outperform his 2020 returns and Harris did not outperform Biden’s 2020 returns. We didn’t get more Trump voters than pat elections, we just got fewer Democratic voters. Why was Democratic turnout so bad? Was it really because Harris was too liberal? I haven’t seen any evidence of that. I suspect that it’s because Harris isn’t very charismatic (compared to candidates like Obama or Bill Clinton). I also suspect that turnout was low because Harris was talking more about maintaining the status quo instead of talking about change. If she was more liberal then maybe more of the base would be motivated to turn out? IDK but I’m sure there will be a million think pieces on the topic 😔

With 1st past the post and all of the power wielded by the 2 major parties, it is basically two options, which sucks. But we have had this system for a really long time and the major parties know it and support it, so they ought to be able to navigate it (it they and sincere and competent).

So even though I absolutely disagree with leftists who vote for anyone other than the Democratic candidate in the general election, I share their frustration with the DNC who waste resources trying to flip moderate Republicans instead of energizing the base and courting the left. Hillary Clinton was actually rude and dismissive of the left. And the party stance seems to be “bend over backwards for moderate Republicans but harangue and hector leftists for not being enthused and for not turning out to accept whatever corporate scraps they’re given”.

I, like most Democratic voters are well to the left of the candidates and the party. I suspect that they keep moving to the right to keep the donors happy. I guess they’re trying to thread the needle between donors and the base, but they are not winning enough so whatever they’re doing is shit. I’d say that they’re over indexing on donors but part of why Clinton took over in 2016 is because the DNC was broke and needed someone to come in with big donors and make them solvent.

Lemme finish this sloppy rant by saying that I’m also super frustrated with anyone who isn’t voting - especially young people and people on the left. We can say that we’ll vote if they give us something to vote for, but there isn’t much evidence to support that assertion.

Around half of us are just as (or more) upset about it as you. Our cold civil war has been getting warmer and life will get much worse for many of us. Just wanted to drop that reminder since some of us may end up as refugees trying to escape to saner countries.

During the Trump administration, every morning I’d wake up with vague existential dread, picking up my phone thinking “what now?” And every morning there would be some new shameful low. It was awful.

OMG. This kid is looking right at her.

SHS smiles like an alien who doesn’t understand human emotions.
