Biden didn't just not go left, he tried to outflank the republicans from the right by facilitating genocide, ending covid protections, and passing the most draconian border bill since like the 40s.
This is one of the worst examples of confirmation bias I have ever seen. The Biden Administration's entire record is out there for you to peruse, and you pick 3 things out of hundreds, possibly thousands, that you think justify your comparison.
It's pretty wonky, but HWRF is a great resource too, but not updated quite as often as some others.
There's also the reality that the Egyptian pyramids on the left were all built over 2000 years before all the Mayan pyramids on the right
"60% growth" seems large, but there are almost 85,000,000 people in Germany, so we're talking about growing from ~0.03% to ~0.05% of the population here.

Lemmy is your job, apparently
The Supreme Court had consistently been moving many issues to the left over many decades until very recently, so I don't know what you're talking about here at all. This is the direct result of the Republican Party, from Mitch McConnell refusing to even entertain the possibility of Obama filling Scalia's seat to Trump appointing 3 justices. There's a dose of Ginsburg's narcissism in there too, she should have retired.
Chickens and many other birds appear to bob their heads because their eyes are fixed in their sockets, so they can't fix their eyes on a point while moving, but instead have to keep their head still. What looks like bobbing is the bird pushing its head forward and keeping it completely still for a moment while its body catches up. Without keeping its head still, it wouldn't be able to see much of anything very effectively, prey or predator.
T rex might have been able to move its eyes, in which case it probably wouldn't have bobbed its head.
DBT 4 lyfe. I'm a strong believer that literally everyone would benefit from learning DBT skills. Interpersonal communication, distress tolerance, emotional regulation, and mindfulness are all skills people can practice and develop
Buttigieg should be front and center a lot. He's whip smart, a great speaker, and really relatable
From years of experience working in mental health, people pretty much have an "average" mood set (mostly) independently from their life situation. There are lots of people who are really ok when bad things happen in their lives, and lots of people who are dour or sad about things even when they're fine. Ultimately, lots of people don't need any "sips of reality to be miserable," they've just decided to be miserable regardless. Obviously all of this is serious generalization and is not universally applicable.
I'm blown away by how many people use apps when they don't have to. There's a reason companies are always trying to get you to download their app, and it's so they can put their software on your phone and harvest more of your data.
You might've insulated your garage door, but did you weatherize it? You can get decent weather stripping to go along all 4 edges of the door to block off the cracks. As far as insulating your garage ceiling, it's something I've considered too, but one thing I don't have an answer too is how that would affect the airflow or code compliance for my gas furnace and gas water heater, which are both in the garage.
Also, when we did an exterior remodel, we discovered there was no insulation in the exterior garage wall, only in the walls shared with the interior of the house, so you may be contending with that. We had that wall insulated when we did the renovation, and it made a noticeable difference. I've also planted trees to shade that garage wall, otherwise it gets blasted with afternoon sun.
If I had the energy and time, I would put batt insulation above the garage ceiling and also replace my attic stairs, which are old and poorly sealed. A mini split AC would also be pretty sweet.
You might be interested in watching videos by Matt Risinger on YouTube, he does a ton on insulation projects in 70s-80s builds in Texas
I think that of incels with 4 day old accounts because their last account got banned to hell
The Wolf Amendment was enacted in 2011 and prevents direct U.S.-Chinese bilateral cooperation except in cases where the FBI can certify that there is no national security risk to sharing information with the Chinese side in the course of work.

Not with that attitude you won't. Try fixing your personality
In 2010, Nasa researchers found graphite – a mineral made up of stacked layers of graphene – in lunar samples collected nearly 40 years earlier by the Apollo 17 mission. After ruling out the effects of solar winds, they attributed the finding to the impact of meteor strikes on the moon.
The Chinese scientists acknowledged that the impact of meteorites could also lead to the formation of graphitic carbon, as proposed by the Nasa researchers.
This seems to contradict the headline
>The man said while waiting for his rideshare to arrive, he was flagged down by the suspect. Mistakenly thinking it was his rideshare, he got into the front seat without verifying the vehicle or driver information.
>According to the affidavit, the suspect offered the man a drink from an open container, which he accepted. The man said shortly after taking a drink, he blacked out and had no memory of what occurred for several hours.
Yeah please don't do this
The new spot will have a full-service kitchen, a large patio with views of the Greenbelt, and the same jolly service and eclectic atmosphere as the original location, representatives said.
Stoked for this
Morning y'all, anyone able to identify this "weed?" It grows very low to the ground and has tiny blue flowers. Seems to be one of the first bloomers of the year
These were sold to me as Senegalia roemeriana, but really don't look like any pictures I'm seeing. Any ideas?

The Hole In The Wall music venue has secured a 20-year lease and will remain open to celebrate its 50th anniversary next summer, thanks largely to $1.6 million in assistance from the city’s Iconic Venue Fund.
Will Tanner, who purchased the club located on the stretch of Guadalupe Street known as The Drag in 2008, signed the new lease agreement – an initial 10-year lease with two five-year extensions – with The Weitzman Group realty firm on Monday. The signing followed 10 months of negotiation and work with staff from the city and the Austin Economic Development Corporation to become the first recipient of city funds allocated to preserve culturally significant music venues.
Austin is currently experiencing the longest stretch of triple-digit heat in recorded history.
[T]emperatures have reached the century mark for 27 days in a row. With records dating back to the 1890s, that ties with 2011 as the longest stretch of triple-digit temperatures ever recorded in Austin.
The KXAN First Warning Weather team is currently forecasting at least seven more days at or above 100°, which would extend the streak past 30 days.
The funding could help close the growing gap between unsheltered Austinites and available shelter beds.
Positive news from the state on this issue, and kudos to Kirk Watson for knowing how to build relationships and get things done with the state
Spirit Halloween will open for the Halloween season the first week of August at 2110 W. Slaughter Lane, Austin.
The goats will stay at the trail day and night for the next three to four weeks, taking breaks to chew their cud and sleeping in their on-site trailers.
