Nonbinary runner Nikki Hiltz makes record time in qualifying for the Paris Olympics
  • Hiltz got the US Olympic trials record, not the American record. No one has run faster in the women's 1500 meter at any US Olympic trials.

    You're right about the rest. A few non Americans have run faster and only one American has run faster, Shelby Houlihan. Houlihan is currently banned from the sport for a steroid she alleged was consumed while eating contaminated burritos. She won't be allowed to compete again until January 2025.

  • "All the evidence is about to come out": Legal experts say SCOTUS ruling could backfire on Trump
  • I'm not gonna disagree, but I will say people have basically judged the court for decades based on their decisions. I've been judging it on their decisions and their dissents. There have been non-unanimous cases for years where there have been bizarre dissents that could have changed the country if any specific president had appointed more judges.

  • The Absurdity of the Dump-Biden Uprising
  • Primaries are also weird because depending on what state you live in the election is often decided before you even get to vote. Imagine living in a state as big as California and having no impact on the primary.

    If the general election can be one day maybe so can the primary.

  • Okay, Biden isn’t popular. But his policies sure are.
  • Hot take: that crime bill attack was always an interesting one to me.

    In Hillary's election she got heavily criticized for supporting it while non-conservatives supported it, Biden wrote it, Bill Clinton signed it, Bernie Sanders voted for it. I was somewhat surprised this election when people actually remembered that Biden wrote it at all. I didn't hear much about it in 2020.

  • Fuck up a book for me please
  • I don't know if it makes you smarter, but I'd gamble you're more knowledgeable.

    None of this matters though because the people who would read a dumbed down version of a book would have probably used a different shortcut if this weren't possible.

  • US Olympic and other teams will bring their own AC units to Paris, undercutting environmental plan
  • US Olympics is probably being overly cautious ever since Taliyah Brooks collapsed from exhaustion when they refused to delay a US Olympic trials a couple years back due to extreme heat.

    Taliyah was on pace to make it to the Olympics until that happened.

  • I am scared to flirt with girls.
  • You meant more. People are reading the words you wrote. In another comment you wrote "it's better to just steer clear."

    That's not helpful for OP at all. That's just the mgtow mantra.

  • Child Advocates Back Surgeon General's Call for Tobacco-Like Warnings on Social Media
  • Warnings probably work better on products you're putting in your body. If you have blackened lungs on the cigarette packaging I can't imagine choosing to smoke.

    On social media, you basically have to destroy my experience for me to stop using it in the same way. All effective options are terrible: ads, microtransactions, auto-playing unexpected sounds, nonresponsive interfaces.
