  • JD Vance is sick of 67: ‘Ban these numbers forever’

    Jump

  • 100% agreed. This junk does nothing but make us look dumb. It's just bad rage bait.

  • ‘I Shed My Blood for This Country’: U.S. Army Veteran Born In Jamaica, Living In U.S. for 50 Years, Jailed By ICE After Not Using Turn Signal

    Jump

  • Before I say this, ICE is awful and driving without a license shouldn't be a deportable offense. Also, military service should give automatic citizenship.

    I feel like this article is leaving something out. How did ICE get involved in this? I mean, I wouldn't be surprised if they got involved simply because they saw a record of a non-citizen getting arrested but I'm wondering if he didn't renew his green card or something.

    I'm not arguing that this guy deserves to be deported (I think he should be a citizen) but I do wish we got the whole story on things.

  • I'm talking about... Shit... I read two thirds of your comment and my ADHD brain skipped the middle part. THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT!

    Shit... Sorry, without the middle context your comment made it sound like you wanted democrats to cover up inclusion of democrats in the files.

  • Edit: Apparently it helps to read the full comment and not let your ADHD brain skip the middle part thst gives all of the relevant context. Shit...

    How about we throw all of these fucks in prison regardless of political party? Why are you trying to muddy this with politics? I wouldn't care if it was Trump or if it was Bert and Ernie, anyone involved should be prosecuted.

    Oh no! Bill Gates, another asshole billionaire is in the files? Throw him in the same dark hole as the rest of them.

    Bill Clinton? Yeah, throw him in, too.

    Hillary was aware and said nothing? Prison.

    Barack Obama had evidence of ongoing abuse and did nothing? Believe it or not, prison.

    Bernie Sanders was on the island? Yeah, prison for him, too.

    Fuck all of them and fuck politicizing this issue. Anyone involved should be prosecuted.

    So far it does seem to be mostly republicans but I don't expect it will remain that way. If it does, I'll be skeptical that we're getting the whole truth.

    TIL that ultra-processed food make up two-thirds of the calories consumed by American children

    Jump

  • You should read about what ultra-processed means before spreading misinformation. In fact, ZERO of the examples you gave make something fall into the Nova "ultra-processed" classification. Each of those would place them in the category "processed".

    Processed foods are relatively simple food products produced by adding processed culinary ingredients (group 2 substances) such as salt or sugar to unprocessed (group 1) foods.

    Processed foods are made or preserved through baking, boiling, canning, bottling, and non-alcoholic fermentation. They often use additives to enhance shelf life, protect the properties of unprocessed food, prevent the spread of microorganisms, or make them more enjoyable.

    Examples include cheese, canned vegetables, salted nuts, fruits in syrup, and dried or canned fish. Breads, pastries, cakes, biscuits, snacks, and some meat products fall into this group when they are made predominantly from group 1 foods with the addition of group 2 ingredients.

  • Trump admin removes MLK Day, Juneteenth from National Parks fee-free days

    Jump

  • I disagree that this is the way forward. I want to see criminal prosecutions. If that results in violence so be it. I won't support violence, though.

    That said, I'm supremely disappointed in the willingness of democrats to persue impeachments and prosecutions.

    While it's possible that violence is required to solve our current problems, I still hold hope that we can solve things another way.

  • Trump admin removes MLK Day, Juneteenth from National Parks fee-free days

  • I honestly think that if that were to happen we would end up in a much worse situation. He would become a martyr and the republicans who are starting to see the light would go rage blind.

  • Manufacturer issues remote kill command to disable smart vacuum after engineer blocks it from collecting data — user revives it with custom hardware and Python scripts to run offline

    Jump

  • I agree with you. The problem is that lawsuits cost money. Fighting the company on this requires the right plaintiff who is willing to risk money on the problem.

  • Manufacturer issues remote kill command to disable smart vacuum after engineer blocks it from collecting data — user revives it with custom hardware and Python scripts to run offline

    Jump

  • I agree with you that this should be illegal. I expect this was in the terms of service, though. Since we have no laws restricting this kind of bullshit, the company can argue that they're within their rights.

    We need some real legislation around privacy. It's never going to happen, but it needs to. We need a right to anonymity but that is too scary for advertisers and our police state.

  • This is the weirdest way to say this. What a weird bot.

  • Here's the fun part. They'll use the shadow docket and won't give any rationale.

  • Accepting US car standards would risk European lives

    Jump

  • I was going to make a snarky comment about this obviously being true due to different infrastructure priorities in the EU vs the US. The article is right, though, about the deficiencies in US auto standards and their likely impact if applied to Europe.

  • How progressives are taking over swing states – and driving fear into Democratic elites

    Jump

  • I think most democrats have been voting for democrats while wishing they were more left. Voting for democrats hasn't been about liking the candidates. It's been more about disliking the opposing candidates.

  • White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt's relative detained by ICE

    Jump

  • Oh, I have no doubt that the Leavitt's might use ICE as a weapon against someone inconvenient. The article makes nothing clear, though.

  • White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt's relative detained by ICE

    Jump

  • Maybe not even that. Former girlfriend of Leavitt's brother? Former one-night-stand of Leavitt's brother? The article is unclear in a way that is either purposeful or ignorant. I'm not sure which.

  • I guess you need reading skills in addition to social skills. Again, I didn't say that I camp in the middle lane. I get frustrated by those who do. I just gave what I assume to be the logic used by people who do camp in the middle lane.

    Go watch yourself masturbate in a mirror so you can give misery to someone who deserves it.

  • White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt's relative detained by ICE

    Jump

  • The woman is Leavitt's nephew's mother but is estranged from her child. She has no real relationship to Leavitt.

    The real story here is that she was a DACA kid with one arrest for battery, the legal outcome of which is unclear. Obviously "the worst of the worst".

  • I didn't say I do that. I'm the guy getting frustrated behind them. I also don't go around calling strangers cunts you fucking asshole.

    Edit: Oh, I see, from your comment history it seems that you're just a miserable cunt yourself. Maybe go work on your people skills.
