This is as reductive as when people say religion is what causes all wars. Humans cause war. Race, religion, nationality, money, power,etc. All of them,and more, have been used as pretexts for war.

The former speaker of the House of Representatives is instead pushing Rep. Gerry Connolly (D-VA) to win the high-ranking role, and is “actively working to tank” AOC’s bid while “making calls” on behalf of Connolly, Punchbowl News reported Thursday.

The report adds that Pelosi’s behind-the-scenes maneuvering displays the sheer “amount of political capital” she’s willing to put into Connolly’s campaign—the verdict of which will be decided next week.

Classes DNC pulling strings to get the results they want.

Remember when Democrats keep repeating the line in how Republicans would just make it worse so remember to vote for them?

Boy oh boy did they screw up on this topic. I guess the DNC got their cheque and left laughing as the rest of the world continues to get fucked.

Your title made me chuckle.

The only mind control you need with Trump is to dangle some money I’m front of him. He’s like a dog with a bone.

This seems to he based on a lot of hypothetical and not actual data.

The study examined the carbon footprint associated with each user per minute by incorporating the emissions associated with data centers, which made up about 99% of the footprint, and the emissions associated with charging devices after using the platforms.

TikTok’s emissions are the most opaque of the social media platforms. Tech giants such as Meta and Google release detailed reports to the Carbon Disclosure Project every year, even posting their findings to their respective websites. TikTok has no publicly available emissions data.

It’s just the theoretical output of emissions needed to run a Data Centre based off viewers and average time spent. While these are all rough numbers it could also very well be that the Data Centre’s are powered at least in part by renewables.

So it would make sense that Tiktok would use up a lot of electricity for its platform. We just can’t be sure how much of it actually translates into more emissions.

Celebrity appearances.

Not to say the show goes downhill because of it. But I feel as if it’s often used as a crutch to attract more viewers.

Rarely. Humans can be very inconsistent due to their inherent biases and emotions. If what you say were true we would have been able to observe it take place by now.

Not many people are pure leftists though. We all have our inherent biases based on things like social class, upbringing, religion, nationality, etc. Just because a consistent framework is there doesn’t mean people just fit so well into it.

Funnily enough my only exposure to D&D was from Baldurs Gate 3. I’ll take it as a compliment though.

Sanders said it perfectly in his open letter after the election.

While the Democratic leadership defends the status quo, the American people are angry and want change. And they’re right.

Today, while the very rich are doing phenomenally well, 60% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck and we have more income and wealth inequality than ever before. Unbelievably, real, inflation-accounted-for weekly wages for the average American worker are actually lower now than they were 50 years ago.

Democrats just didn’t do enough to make people believe that their lives would change for the better from them. Continuing the status quo is not something they wanted to hear.

Very few people fit neatly into a political label. We tend to be all over the place on political issues.

Fear not—there’s no one-click option, so no one should be in any danger of absent-mindedly buying a brand-new Palisade.

Well that’s reassuring. I was getting worried. I honestly hate when that happens.

Luigi Mangione was taken into custody at a McDonald’s in Pennsylvania. CNN quoted law enforcement sources as saying a document seized off of him reads, “These parasites had it coming.”

Another comment in the document read, “I do apologize for any strife and trauma, but it had to be done.”

Not a lawyer, but isn’t this circumstantial at best? Unless there’s more to the document than this.

A 2% increase of almost nothing is not something to downplay.

They already had the Golan Heights. They just yoinked a buffer zone for their buffer zone.

Holy shit it’s Jason Bourne.

It’s two separate issues. A single person shouldn’t be able to pour that much money to influence an election. At the same time the justice system should have more teeth against the rich who openly break laws.

And where have you been silenced om this topic? Or someone else if that’s the case.
