'There Are No Kings in America': Biden Blasts Supreme Court, Issues Dire Warning After Immunity Ruling
  • Yes, because he actually cares about what the Constitution stands for, not just some adversarial power game. Claim the paradox of tolerance all you want, but fighting fire with fire here is just participating in the same race to the bottom that's destroying our democracy here in the USA.

  • EUROBEE
  • Invasive honey bees are less effective pollinators for most native plants than native bee species. However, they indeed consume a lot of nectar, leaving less for the native bees to survive.

    Admittedly, it's not a simple relationship, but between increased competition and fewer resources due to landscape changes, it's not necessarily a good one.

  • Biden Administration Tightens Mileage Standards to Buoy E.V.s | The new rule requires automakers to achieve an average of 65 miles per gallon across all models by 2031.
  • I'd rather establish licensing/training requirements for light truck operation. Nobody likes it when someone takes away their stuff. But convince them that the only people allowed to operate such heavy machinery are "elite" and they'll gladly take pride.

    Normal passenger car driver's licenses in most of North America have such a comically low bar because people need them for life. You lose your license, you can't live. It's not just harder. You physically cannot get to work, get food, meet friends, etc. It's bonkers. Solving that problem is hard. But making sure that people who really absolutely shouldn't be driving something as dangerous as a truck can't get one "just because it's cool" is a different, much easier solved problem.

  • Disclaimer: I am an EV owner.

    EVs are quite a bit heavier when comparing within size class. From checking just a couple curb weights across similarly-sized vehicles, you can expect between 15% and 30% heavier.

    But, to your point... if you instead compare between vehicles with a similar pricetag, EVs are about 15% lighter. When people go to budget a new vehicle, I expect many people are less willing to do the math to realize that trucks are extremely expensive to fuel and maintain, and so they're lured in by the "utility" they provide, when in reality it's substantially cheaper to rent one for the 10 days a year they need it.

    With that said... you know what's even better for humans than EVs? Trains. Buses. Diverse transit infrastructure!

  • Ukrainian Christian groups face violent crackdown from Russian forces
  • Ugh, don't get me started. By "American Christians" I assume you mean "Christian Nationalists" ... Christian Nationalism is about as Christian as the moon is made of cheese:

    But our citizenship is in heaven, and from it we await a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ...

  • Because only women are worried about becoming step-parents? (This prolly could've been an Ask Lemmy.)
  • If you've been alive for more than 30 seconds, it's not just anecdotal. But to appease the challenge, anyways: https://www.census.gov/content/dam/Census/library/publications/2020/demo/p60-269.pdf There's a massive imbalance between custodial fathers and custodial mothers. Even worse is the imbalance in child support negligence.

    Can we please just admit that there are normal biological/social/economic/perceived/identity differences between men and women? That's not to say all of those differences are good or desirable, or that they are without variation, but can we at least recognize the state of our world without shunning those with different viewpoints?
