  • Keppa is a bit better imo. A lot of price history goes back pre covid (not like it matters I just find it interesting to see), camelcamelcamel doesn't. IIRC had something to do with Amazon making them

    To all american "leftists" who didn't vote for Kamala, FUCK YOU!

  • I do partially agree with your sentiment but the biggest issue is the Democratic party itself.

    In my mind if they hadn't ham fisted Hilary in '16 none of this would have happened in the first place and that's only the tip of the iceberg of that parties failings.

    Can we just move on from the US 2024 election?

  • Attention everyone there was a major US election that took place 2 days ago resulting in Trump winning

    If you get on social media for the next month (probably more) you are going to see politics unless you filter it out or get off social media

  • TIL: Almost all US states could be swing states if non-voters voted

  • I recognize this and my reply in my comment is:

    The sad truth is that no candidate will fix these things.

    It's hard to get people motivated when they recognize that even their top pick will still not resolve any issues. I'm not saying you shouldn't vote because of that, I'm just saying I can empathize with that sentiment.

  • I voted, but devils advocate here.

    These are the big issues in my mind: Health care Housing Cost of living/ worker rights Climate change War in Gaza Infrastructure improvement

    At absolute best maybe infrastructure and cost of living get addressed in a minor way.

    The sad truth is that no candidate will fix these things. Even if they weren't such complex issues, big $$$$ will make sure 2/3s of these things remain the way they are.

    Since I've been alive (born in 90s) I have only seen the decline of every system around me regardless of what polical party is in.

    So yes I voted, yes I hope the people I voted for get in, yes they will reduce how quickly things are going downhill, but I do not expect them to even address most of those topics in a meaningful way.

    It makes it difficult to give enough of a shit to vote in the first place. Even if my candidates win, the issues I care about the most will almost certainly not be fixed.

    I recognize this is a very pessimistic view and I crave to be proven wrong but the last 20+ years I've lived would lead me to believe I will be correct.

  • Living in a red state this is how I thought of it, even if my vote is wasted at least maybe the world can see a majority (even if it's slight) of Americans voted against trump numerically even if he wins.

  • Over 200,000 subscribers flee 'Washington Post' after Bezos blocks Harris endorsement

    Jump

  • Brauchli has publicly encouraged people not to cancel their Post subscriptions in protest.

    “It is a way to send a message to ownership but it shoots you in the foot if you care about the kind of in-depth, quality journalism like the Post produces,”

    The two sentences that made me lol. Of course the consumer is shooting itself in the foot not subscribing to a journal whose integrity is in question after one of the oligarchy decided it needed to suppress an endorsement. If the consumers weren't shooting themselves, who else could it be? Certainly not the great Bezos!

  • Mint's sweet I switched from 10 a few months back. Biggest difference is getting use to the different file system, only 2 games have been unplayable (didn't try to make them work tbh).

  • Eh I'll take it, better than reading about candidates continuing to defend a fake news conspiracy about immigrants eating pets or whatever horrible thing they focus on next

    As sad as it is, it's actually kinda refreshing to see a mundane headline regarding politics

  • Hey that's a really good point lets see what scientific literature says about that:

    4.1. Evidence Considerations-To date, only sixteen studies have looked at actual health-related outcomes in dogs and cats fed vegan diets, as opposed to performing nutrient evaluations of diets. However, the majority of these studies utilized small sample sizes (ranging from 2–34 animals) for the direct investigation of outcomes. Whilst survey studies evaluating guardian-reported outcomes generally encompassed larger numbers of animals, these are subject to inherent biases due to participant selection, as well as the reliability of lay people making judgements around somewhat subjective concepts, such as health and body condition.

    It then goes on to say:

    The risk of bias assessment performed on the experimental trials suggests, at best, an unclear risk of bias across the studies. There were some particular aspects of poor performance (or reporting), especially around randomization and blinding. This has been reported previously in animal studies [42], where researchers have probably not taken on board some of these important facets of experimental design and reporting to the extent that human clinical researchers have [43,44]. This remains a major concern impeding reproducibility, and where internal validity of the study is impacted, also leads to wastage of animal and financial resources [42].

    Seems like the science backs your claim up partially. I would call it bias instead of lying though.
