  • Colorado River crisis threatens water supply, hydropower for millions

    Jump

  • Sorry, I didn't mean to imply that we continue allowing the states to deliberate. I'm implying that "federal intervention" with the current administration would look something like auctioning off the Colorado River.

  • Republican disenfranchisement bid drives Black voters to polls, study finds

    Jump

  • I'm so tired of this cynical take. Black people have never had a fucking break from being systemically and systematically disenfranchised. Voting is non-negotiable for me, but I can also understand the apathy when there are two candidates and neither of them seem interested in improving your life.

  • federal intervention is expected

    Oh good. That should help things.

  • eBay pays $46M to journalists it targeted in bizarre harassment campaign

    Jump

  • That's the one episode I haven't been able to listen to. The video was so traumatic as a young kid. Haunting.

  • Ooh, Casefile did a great podcast ep on this. Episode 306. (If you're not familiar, Casefile is the gold standard for true crime. It's not exploitative or voyeuristic. Just stories of notable crimes and their investigations, with plenty of awful police work and miscarriages of justice.)

  • ICE killed Lorenzo Salgado Araujo. They want you to be apathetic. Don’t be. / Salgado came from Mexico, built the American Dream, sent his sons to college, and was senselessly killed by ICE.

    Jump

  • All of these things are true:

    1. This murder of Salgado is equally evil, and equally important, as the murders of Good and Pretti. His death deserves the same amount of outrage and community response.
    2. My nervous system still feels fried from being constantly activated for several months at the beginning of the year.
    3. I see the incongruence and it's very disturbing to me.

  • Women, how do you feel when men or women glance at your boobs?

    Jump

  • My wife has big boobs. Sometimes she shows them off on purpose, but even when she doesn't, they're big and round and nice to look at. She says if people are going to look, at least be inconspicuous about it and not stare.

    That said, I know other women who have felt cursed by their big boobs because everywhere they go, they're ogled without their consent. Which is also fair. Just because some women are okay with it, doesn't mean I'm entitled to check everyone out.

  • US Supreme Court just blew up EU-US Data Transfers

    Jump

  • Doug Rushkoff's Survival of the Richest paints a really fascinating picture of the tech billionaire mindset. Rushkoff has been writing about tech for like 50 years so he's able to explain the evolution from creative tech anarchist to fascist sociopath. "They seem to think they can design a car fast enough to outrun its own exhaust."

  • Men in pink collar positions, what's your experience?

    Jump

  • I'm a social worker. I had a tough time in grad school at the peak of the Me Too movement and Trump's first term. My cohort was maybe 5% men. I sometimes felt like the target of the anger and resentment my classmates felt towards men in general. I worked hard to listen and not be defensive, but it was difficult.

    I've experienced a little bit of that since graduating, but it was specific to a toxic workplace. These days I'm just so grateful to be surrounded by brilliant women. I learn so much and I never feel out of place.

  • Release unredacted Epstein files or explain why you can't, judge tells DOJ

    Jump

  • Because they destroyed them?

  • House Passes G.O.P.’s $70 Billion Immigration Bill. The vote was 214 to 212 along party lines.

    Jump

  • I'm with you! I'm self-employed so I'm not paying my quarterly estimated taxes. I'm still saving the money and splitting it between high-yield savings and index funds.

  • Nintendo will pay a $40 million fine for faulty Joy-Cons

    Jump

  • Didn't they already do that like 10 years ago? In the US they didn't do a recall per se but they offered to replace them for free.

  • By 2030, AI's water use will match the needs of 1.3 billion people while its power use triples that of 650 million, UN University investigation warns

  • A majority? Do you have a source?

  • SpaceX has to grow 60x in a decade to justify a $1.75 trillion valuation. It's an impossible bar | Fortune

    Jump

  • Sorry, it's the same as you're describing. The employer doesn't decide which funds are available, the bank does. I'm thinking back to my last job and there were only about 10 funds to choose from, but I couldn't tell you who was responsible for limiting the options. The bank might have offered a "retirement benefits package" to the employer to simplify things. Not sure.

  • Oh god damn it.

  • GOP knows it can’t win a fair election

    Jump

  • I vote in every election and I believe everyone should, but I also understand that millions and millions of people on the left have yet to see a candidate that actually represents them.

    Jump

  • Many employers offer to match the employee's contribution to their retirement fund up to a certain amount, but the employer gets to pick which funds are available. Anyone can open their own IRA (retirement fund) but they won't get that employer match.

    Sunglasses with low clamp force?

  • Are there any good math puzzle sites or apps?

    Jump

  • If you like geometry and trig, the apps Pythagorea and Euclidea are very fun puzzles. They're free and there are hundreds of puzzles. They get very difficult.
