Nikki Haley: America Is Committing “Suicide” by Voting for Trump
  • Lol the trump x Haley comparison is irrelevant

    First because she never really had a chance to win the primaries against the maga cult

    And second because even if she did, being part of the republican party these days is more than enough reason to assume she's a fascist asshole. Does it matter if she's a slightly less bad fascist asshole? (And if you wanna reduce it to "everyone I don't like is all the same" that's fine with me)

  • Nikki Haley: America Is Committing “Suicide” by Voting for Trump
  • Pointing out that the Democrats are bad is not the same as saying 'both sides are the same'. Sure, Biden is infinitely better than the alternative, but it would be really nice to have some actually good options instead of just lesser evil

  • Leak of Russian ‘Threat’ Part of a Bid to Kill US Surveillance Reform, Sources Say
  • TLDR: privacy law won't pass because it would limit the government's right to buy "commercially available data" on anyone without a warrant

    This includes location data collected from cell phones that are capable in many cases of tracking people’s physical whereabouts almost constantly. The data is purportedly gathered for advertising purposes...

    A government that actually cares about privacy wouldn't be debating 'should we be able to buy that data', it would be asking the real question 'why the fuck is it legal to collect and sell that data?'

    Even if we pretend that data will only ever be used for ads, it's still not fucking OK for advertisers to stalk everyone everywhere 24/7 (and every use other than ad stuff is probably worse)

  • Nuclear fusion reaction releases almost twice the energy put in
  • The announcement that ICF had reached the break-even point in 2022 provided hope that fusion power was drawing closer, and this will be bolstered by news that further progress has been made. But there are caveats. Firstly, the energy output falls far short of what would be needed for a commercial reactor, barely creating enough to heat a bath. Worse than that, the ratio is calculated using the lasers’ output, but to create that 2.1 megajoules of energy, the lasers draw 500 trillion watts, which is more power than the output of the entire US national grid. So these experiments break even in a very narrow sense of the term.

  • Rising Conservative Star Just Guy Wearing Nazi Armband And Crying
  • Remember a few years ago when a teenager took an interstate trip to play cop and threaten black people with a gun?

    And then he ended up killing some people and cried a lot in the trial ("I'm the victim" tears, not "I regret murdering those guys" tears)

    And he became a conservative star.

    Satire doesn't stand a chance against reality

  • oh snap.
  • The movies did a great job at presenting thanos as an extremist that sincerely wants the greater good by questionable means, but it falls apart because his grand plan is just so stupid. The only way to reconcile the sympathetic character with the dumb plan is to point out he's "THANOS THE MAD TITAN", not "THANOS THE TITAN THAT FULLY CONSIDERS THE CONSEQUENCES OF HIS ACTIONS"

    Would have been much better if they just kept his original motivation from the comics: Death is a hot lady and horny thanos does the snap as a gift to her

  • Are transporters the fountain of youth?
  • I assume there's some in universe reason why they can't / don't keep copies of the teleportation data, otherwise everyone would be effectively indestructible

    "Oh no the captain got eaten by a space tiger"

    "No problem, I'll teleport a backup from an hour ago, he'll be there in 5 minutes"

  • See? You still have a chance!
  • That's assuming you'll meet literally every person on earth

    Let's say you will have a meaningful interaction with 1000 people ever, 1% of that leaves you with 10

    If you're not bi make it 5 before you even start considering wether you also find those people attractive back, if they're single and in the right age range

    So get that confidence back down. Statistics are a bitch

  • BIG GEOLOGY
  • Every experiment so far has shown that when you toss COVID patients into active volcanoes instead of using the standard treatment there's a 99% reduction in deaths by COVID, but big pharma doesn't want you to know that

  • Lauren Boebert rages over USA Boxing’s trans policy even though she clearly doesn’t understand it
  • Our planet is on fire. The Nazis are back. Most of us are wage slaves. Women are going to prison over their physiology. Multiple nations are currently at risk of being wiped off the map...

    Conservatives care about all of those actually relevant things, but they're trying to make them even worse.

    Of course that wouldn't be very popular, so instead they just scream about what's in people's pants and their voters eat it up
