“Truthout” is just rage bait, even more so than more mainstream news media. They have no access to get interviews or direct reporting on the ground. Every article is just an opinion piece, whether they label it or not, because their goal is to enrage left wing readers.
Just genderswap the characters and nouns and see if it feels different to you as a result.
This is literally the best way to detect sexism. Like, would you say the same thing to someone of a different sex? Same thing with people who call assertive women “bitchy”. They would call a similar man “determined”.
Of course this comic is just rage bait for men and women…
This is also fake. Those are all incorrect.
Except… it looks like people did start posting. So the users were crowded out by bots before and they’re posting now. That just shows that Reddit isn’t dead, but it does have too many bots.
I mean, I’m sure many people here wish there was more non-bot content. It’s annoying to see something on Reddit and come back here and see the same thing.
True. One of the biggest parts of modern-day American exceptionalism is thinking that only America has these problems. People who claim to dislike America unknowingly put it on a pedestal as “the worst thing ever”, without acknowledging the very similar problems in their own backyard.
The main point of American exceptionalism is that “America is different from other countries”, to an advanced degree. Some people mean “good” when they say “different”, but it’s not necessary.
American exceptionalism is the belief that the United States is either distinctive, unique, or exemplary compared to other nations.
I mean, I would assume that someone who doesn’t get a new enough car doesn’t have enough money to pay for commercial insurance. Also offering people rides on the street is a bad idea (because you can get robbed) and possibly illegal. This is just running an unlicensed taxi service. Gypsy cabs have been around for hundreds of years. It’s not a good idea.
That’s a terrible idea. His insurance won’t cover him in an accident. If a passenger is injured he may be on the hook for the medical care.
Wikipedia is one click away:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aral_Sea
Formerly the third-largest lake in the world with an area of 68,000 km2 (26,300 sq mi), the Aral Sea began shrinking in the 1960s after the rivers that fed it were diverted by Soviet irrigation projects. By 2007, it had declined to 10% of its original size
former United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-moon called the shrinking of the Aral Sea “one of the planet’s worst environmental disasters”.
The Aral Sea region is heavily polluted, with consequent serious public health problems. UNESCO has added historical documents concerning the Aral Sea to its Memory of the World Register as a resource to study the environmental tragedy.
The more expensive eggs taste better and only cost a quarter more. Would you pay 50¢ to make your breakfast taste better? You should.
Reminder to anyone still working retail: if your job description isn’t “janitor”, you don’t need to clean that up. It’s a biohazard and they can pay more expensive people with better equipment to do it.
Also, the Democratic election team didn’t even dignify it with a response:
Newsweek has contacted the Harris campaign for comment via email.
These women have only a tenuous connection to VP Harris. This is just Democracy Now trying to highlight these women because they like activists. Harris is definitely not an activist; she’s a lawyer and a politician. Yes there are good ones out there.
Better examples are:
This is a child’s thinking. A child wants the bully to get punched in the nose. An adult knows that this comes from insecurity. Bullies do not fear violence, they fear ridicule.
You know Costco isn’t squeezing the olives themselves? There’s a lot of fake olive oil out there. They just blend in some vegetable oil or something.
The funny thing is, if such a thing happened Kroger would definitely be upset. I say, if they want to haggle with you about every orange and apple, they can hire people to do it. If they use “AI”, then they have to accept that people will easily game the system.
Um, 2 gallons for $16? That was probably fake or blended olive oil. That’s $2 a quart. No one is selling you the good stuff for that price.
Lol. Pickleball stuff is getting more expensive than tennis equipment. It’s actually a good time to get into a real sport.
You can buy new tennis balls for like $1 each, while pickleballs are more. Think about that: tennis balls are rubber and fuzz, hard to make. Pickleballs are just plastic. Same with the racquets. Pickleball stuff is just plastic and maybe a rubber grip. Tennis racquets can be all kinds of expensive carbon fiber.
JFK is not considered one of the best. He didn’t even have a full term, so there’s no way to know. People liked him because he was young and handsome and died that way.
He started the Vietnam War. His only real test was the Cuban Missile Crisis. He did adopt Keynesianism economic policies (over more classical policies) and proposed the bill that became the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Those are all important, but he honestly wasn’t in office long enough to do much.
And besides, like you said he was 43, not 35. AOC would not be able to do anything because she doesn’t have the relationships yet. Good presidents don’t come from the House of Representatives. They come from the Senate (JFK, Obama), Governors (FDR), or Vice Presidents (Harris).
Easy solution: don’t cancel debt for people who live in those states. Say the Republicans blocked it. Move forward with everyone else.
