  • I'm going to take a different approach than most of the other comments here: you can't. Microplastics are in the air and a large chunk of it comes from car tire residue. You're breathing it, likely right now. Research is still in the early phases and we just don't know how bad it is yet, both from the proliferation and the impact side of things.

    Source is Breaking the Plastic Wave and Overview on the occurrence of microplastics in air.

  • They are very upfront about the bot describing bias against the American center and not the global or whatever "objective" standard people try to insert. By that metric, center-left perfectly describes NYT. Their editorial board has posted multiple times describing Trump as an unfit candidate and they have historically endorsed the democratic candidate. They're obviously not even American leftist and they're not center-left on the global scale, but it's all relative.

    I personally like the extra information and those who don't are free to block the bot. I have seen commentor twisting themselves into absolute pretzels to avoid admitting that they can simply block the bot.

  • None of that works when "because I say so" is supported by a majority of the electorate. I'm not sure where the numbers come up exactly on Walters and this specific issue, but the Oklahoma electorate is not gonna be as clean cut against this as you might hope.

  • She's a lot more borderline on the issue than Biden. Her speech in December-ish was fairly critical of Israel's behavior up to that point and she called for a ceasefire pretty early on in comparison to others in the admin. She also normally would have presided over the speech Netanyahu gave this week, but chose not to. Is it enough? No, not really, but she's the VP and effectively a figurehead. I think it bodes well for at least a small shift in stance if she makes it in though. Guess we'll just have to wait and see.

  • Agreed, I would like to have seen some statements on Netanyahu's many falsehoods in the speech. That's not generally going to be done via press release though and I doubt she would overstep the current president on criticizing foreign leaders.

  • They will be lightly affected by her denouncing some of the protestors (which is separate from supporting Israel and its genocide), yes. Remember that the Jewish voting bloc is also primarily democratic. If your concern is politics in this situation, it's a very fine line that Dem politicians have to walk here.

    Edit: I'm just gonna back out of this thread. I'm not supportive of the genocide, but yall also don't want to have an actual conversation.
