Three-quarters of U.S. adults are now overweight or obese
  • I took it to mean that they didn’t go out of their way to walk more, it was simply the better option to get around and so they just did that instead of driving a car. After moving from a car-centric city to one with a metro I totally get it and I do go for walks just for fun.

    It’s not just about whether or not you can do something but about how available that thing is. Going for a walk can suck real bad in North America, surprisingly. Things like shitty food being the cheaper option, in a country racing to get its working class to be as disproportionately impoverished as possible, can make it hard to justify getting better quality stuff, too.

  • Why Are Tesla Cars Involved In More Fatalities Than Any Other Auto Brand?
  • “They are designed with safety in mind” yea! That’s the fuckin’ bar, it’s not special!

    They can get good crash ratings all day but they keep struggling with people getting stuck in the cars, fires were an issue at least for a bit, and their marketting is willfully lying about the vehicles abilities so the average person thinks the car can do shit that it really can’t.

    Surviving the crash is only step one before being able to get out while shit’s on fire or underwater, and step zero is avoiding it which they also can’t manage very well.

  • "I love the poorly educated"
  • That they keep voting for people who “love the working class” and who “have great economic policy” but every classically Republican state is a fucking shithole that constantly needs money from blue states to stay barely afloat.

    It’s yet more evidence that the GOP don’t have any interest and/or ability to properly run a country. All their ideas fucking suck and everything they touch is worse for it, and their base needs to realize this. Also educated or not it’s so insanely obvious these days just how bad shit is and whose at fault but us North Americans(I’m Canadian, same problems here but more boring) can’t stop but chase the right when the center falters. At this point people should be mocked, this shit’s inexcusable in ways it wasn’t as much even only 10-15 years ago.

  • Say it again, Dexter
  • For someone who doesn’t know much about this but has been watching a tonne of Youtube this doesn’t make a lot of sense and I could use some help.

    Like, we’ve found mammals halfway between leggy land-bois and frickin’ whales but this thing that’s largely just a lion cub with mods is somehow special and different? I was expecting some absolutely wild and got a cat.

    I tried reading through some stuff but I don’t have the skill to read through the source efficiently.

  • Trump’s Pick to Lead U.S. Military Has Tattoos Linked to White Supremacists and Nazis
  • I had to check if this was a bad freeze frame or what and nope she fires that hand out straight as a goddamn arrow and leaves it like that. She wasn’t caught mid-wave, just straight up doing the ol’ nazi salute.

    It’s wild that these people are using the same imagery as the nazis. You’d think that they’d have their own brand as most people aren’t knowingly the bad guys and the ones that are are generally smarter than that but they just can’t fuckin’ help larp as the poster children for worst thing the modern world has dealt with(though more recent times are making it look kinda normal).

  • The Homeless Encampment That Could Change Canadian Law
  • Worst part is that technically things are a lot better for everyone when you don’t need to worry about a homeless population. The only people who would lose anything wouldn’t even notice if three quarters of their money disappeared and they can’t handle losing even a handful of dollars to things like the appropriate compensation of their workers or paying their fuckin’ taxes.

  • The US is collapsing
  • One person was arguing that they shouldn’t be able to refuse to do “chores” in prison, but the things they do there are things like making license plates, furniture, and fighting wildfires. A bit far from mopping up and taking out the garbage.

  • Silica Gel
  • Jesus Christ, that’s insane. I mean I would have thought maybe even fast food…at least the dollar store has some cereals and stuff but those aren’t much of a solution.

  • Smile and grin at the change all around...
  • They increase spending on really stupid shit that have no legs but will absolutely gut useful services. People aren’t wrong to be mad when they see their stuff get defunded and that’s the important stuff many are going to focus on. So you’re right but it’s not as simple as that.
