I have one. Voters make decisions based on the ideas in their heads and their beliefs about the world, and those ideas and beliefs are heavily shaped by their social interactions, especially media consumption, and in the last 20 years most media consumption is from social media's sea of lies.
I don't think center left or left or center pundits have put forward a single coherent explanation of the 2016 election following the 2024 election as literally all of their theories of the 2016 election were disproven by the Biden term.
... and designed it so badly that the guy who eventually won it did so by basically being invisible until the very end, when he was able to more or less flip a coin and it came up heads for him
Friend of mine lost a boyfriend of many years (and about to become fiancé) after he tumbled down a conspiracy rabbit hole, concluded that their "races were incompatible," and moved to Texas to "find a proper Christian wife"
First time I met this guy, in 2019, he was complaining about Centrist Dems
Last night I heard of another friend of a friend who has been lost to a rabbit hole of online propaganda. We need to start treating this as a serious public health concern.
On the upside, as Charlie Chaplin, of all people, reminds us, "The hate of men will pass, and dictators die, and the power they took from the people will return to the people. And so long as men die, liberty will never perish."
So just for comparison purposes, I decided to put the same question to Claude.. initially I got the safety flag you see, which I had never received before
But when I switched to the other model it gave me the answer without issue
Curious as to what's distinct between our model experiences
Also, Potholders are pointless... Cumbersome, bulky, and useless for any other role in the kitchen. Get a bag of 20 bar towels for like $25, and use them for everything. They're the dish towel, they're for drying, AND...they're the potholder! And they're cheap! Gets dirty, swap it out! Don't worry!
Find a spatula that costs $2.69 and get five of them. You don't want to have to be messing around cleaning one in the middle of a task if you need it for a different thing. Just toss it in the sink and grab a second one. Get multiple cutting boards, extra mixing spoons...and you'll still spend less!
Honestly, get multiples of cheap things and workflow will improve more easily than it ever could with one expensive thing. Get multiples of ever main knife, a dozen cheap steel mixing bowls, simple aluminum fry pans. Quantity of equipment is more of a constraint than quality for most any home cook!
I don't know about "Cheugy," but I will never stop reminding people that they are almost certainly overpaying for most of their kitchen equipment. Go to a restaurant supply store and get some cheap workhorse stuff. It will be durable, it will be good, it will be cheap! You can buy multiples!
This video is everywhere because it's a hilarious visual refutation of Portland being on fire. You can't get a mass movement going without convincing the masses
This brilliant guy -- Judge Holden, they call him -- he says, have you heard this? War is god. War is god. Isn't that something? Tremendous judge, by the way, and some say our finest. Maybe -- who knows? -- maybe one day he'll be on the Supreme Court. But war is god. Anyway, we're looking into it.
many ppl are saying - have you heard this yet? it’s true - many people are saying that life is solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short. it’s true. you’re hearing it more and more.
This is a land of wolves now? Wow. I didn’t know that. You’re just now telling me for the first time. The rule of law lived an amazing life. What can you even say?
Might feel like an inversion of the Civil War, but less than you might think. The federal government was thoroughly in the hands of the Slave Power in the 1850s. States resisted the Fugitive Slave Act; Dred Scott was SCOTUS. Secession happened b/c they wouldn't accept losing that control in 1860.
