  • Scientists detect a sharp acceleration in global warming

  • Your first point is so huge IMO. If you can’t enjoy being at your own home then trying to have some kind of fulfilling life is going to be a steeper uphill battle than it already was.

    Been on the dating apps recently. The number of people who present "travel" as their entire personality is unsettling. Every photo somewhere exotic, every prompt answer is about traveling. It makes me wonder what they're all running from. I don't disagree that vacationing can be enjoyable, but there's more to life.

    And don't get me started on the people who try to say that "traveling" is different from "vacationing" and that what they're doing is travelling and not vacationing. Egads.

  • This is the crazy 'Christian' lady, highjacking a plane to do an unsolicited cermon, being kicked off

  • I went to a megachurch as a teenager. The kind with seating for thousands but still had two Sunday morning service times because everybody couldn't fit into one.

    The preacher loved to talk about how Christians are a persecuted minority.

  • Christian on Nextdoor didn't get the answer they wanted

  • Yeah, one of the things that made me doubt my religious upbringing was the preacher repeatedly saying that Christians are a persecuted minority to a Sunday crowd of some 3000 people, in a church people nicknamed "Fort God" for its massive size, in a town where "on every street corner" really isn't much of an exaggeration. In hindsight, it was laughably ridiculous.

    Also, the literal military-worship on Sundays near Memorial Day and Veterans Day was a bit jarring even to the young, good-little-Christian me.

  • DOJ refuses to hand over Epstein files after judge’s order

  • A lot of people I see on here lambasting Americans for not acting really don't seem to grasp how hard it is to think about solving systemic problems when your every waking moment is consumed by worrying whether you'll be able to feed your family today or keep a roof over their head tomorrow. Much of the US lives one or two missed paychecks from destitution. The fact that the standard of living generally is higher than in many countries doesn't mean your kids are eating dinner tonight, and it certainly doesn't mean you have leisure time to think about complex ideas like systems of government or equitable tax policy, let alone educate yourself about them. We have few safety nets, our culture actively maligns those who use them, and those in power are actively trying to eliminate them.

    A revolution under these conditions will only happen when sufficient masses have lost all access to basic needs.

  • Fox News Says Government Advising Good Thermostat Temperatures Is Akin to Communism

  • But haven't you heard? All cities are crime-ridden hellscapes full of immigrants who will steal your job while also being lazy and collecting welfare, and who are brutish rapists/murderers but also sickly plague carriers, and who... don't always speak English. 😱

  • What TV shows are absolutely worth watching?

  • Orphan Black: it's hard to say much without spoiling it, but it's one of the best series I've ever seen, and Tatiana Maslany's acting is incredible. It's

    Battlestar Galactica, which others have mentioned already.

    Stargate SG-1: my favorite show of all time. It's the sort of scifi that makes you hopeful about the future of humanity. You don't absolutely have to watch the movie first (it's not as good as the series IMO, though worth watching) but it lends to more understanding of who some of the characters are.

  • What's one highly extolled piece of media that you absolutely cannot stand in any way shape or form.

  • Dr. Seuss. I really don't know why, but that stuff is creepy and disturbing in a way that almost nothing else is. All of it. The art, the writing, the themes. I literally just can't even.

  • Luigi Mangione's attorneys plan to present 'affirmative psychiatric defense'

  • Depends. Particulars vary by state, but if such a claim was made then the court would likely order a psychological evaluation. In my state, if they determined that because of a mental illness he was not competent to stand trial or lacked capacity to appreciate the (legally) wrongful nature of his (alleged) actions at the time of the alleged crime, then either the charges might be dropped or he might be found Not Guilty by Reason of Insanity. In either case, that often (particularly for violent crimes) results in judicial commitment to a psychiatric hospital. Which can often result in a longer term of confinement than the prison sentence would have been.

  • Senate panel approves Department of War name change

  • How embarrassingly juvenile.

  • ‘You Will Not Speak on Flock Tonight’: County Commissioner Refuses to Let Residents Opposing Flock Speak at Meeting

  • washing yourself down with iso alcohol. Get a good scrub in. Then get that inner cleanse with a stiff shot.

    But maybe grab the ethyl for the inner cleanse.

  • 'Fairly Lazy Explanation’: Rivian's CEO Doesn’t Think Americans Are Anti-EV

  • Wtf does that even mean. Pedal make go, steering wheel turn. What do I need AI for?!

  • How many tests now?

  • I have not paid attention to his hands or any such thing, so I don't know for sure, but it could be nothing more than his daily aspirin leading to easy bruising.

  • Medford, Oregon is ripping out a protected bike lane to make room for 40 parking spaces. Because who cares about the safety of bike riders when the convenience of drivers is at stake?

  • It said a protected bike lane, so relatively safe, and only irritating to people who really love sitting in car traffic. Facilitating alternative modes of transportation makes car life better by reducing traffic. Not to mention all the other benefits.

    Next you'll tell me trains are a bad idea.

  • So, apart from that, how was the play Mrs Lincoln?

  • Ordinary WiFi can now identify people with near perfect accuracy

  • Paul Atreides has entered the chat.

  • Ordinary WiFi can now identify people with near perfect accuracy

  • Walk without rhythm and we won't attract the worm big brother.

  • star wars or star trek?

  • Indeed. 🤨

  • FBI Raids Office of Top Democratic Leader in Redistricting Wars

  • He said they'd be empowered. He never said they would do anything with that power.

  • ICE agents storm Disney cruise docked in California and arrest staff

  • A high profile lawsuit might be seen as something which could also hurt their image. The entire population of The Villages would probably boycot Disney World. Hopefully Disney's execs pay attention to public opinion and not just their golf buddies.
