Biden’s dealing with the ramifications of his hubris. He thought he would win another term, then thought Harris would win, and could continue softballing this war and now that he knows he’s out of time. If he doesn’t do absolutely everything he can to open up resources for Ukraine now then Putin wins. Putin will most likely win anyway now but this at least will be something.

They actively donate to anti lgbtq causes. They are explicitly the one I avoid because of this.

In Ohio you have to vote early at the county election board and last I checked it was only open regular business hours. For me that means 30 minute drive in, pay for parking, 30 minute drive home. Waiting until election day I can walk to my piling place in 10 minutes, wait in line for 30-45,then walk home in 10 minutes. For a lot of places it’s not as easy as voting on election day.

My idea to address unfit elderly drivers is once you start claiming SS you have to take the physical driving test every 2 years then every year once you turn 80. 69 might not be old for some people but could be debilitating for others.

Make the mandatory minimum fine 105% of the estimated revenue.

I loved my LG v10 and galaxy s5. Those phones just worked and worked great for a long time.

I don’t want a dumb phone. I want a circa 2014 smart phone that is not expected to replace my laptop and serve as a constant data stream for corporations. I want to be able to visit a website on my phone and not have it try to get me to download an app, be ads on 70% of the screen, or just be unreadable formatting. Let me call, text, do a basic online search, play a stupid flash game, and take my money. Stop being greedy and trying to make everything I do monetizable

Short answer is yes. Long answer is yes because of cash bail and how expensive it is to mount a defense

I can’t believe it’s only 5k.I’m in that much medical debt just from having kids.

Dude a news article from over 4 months ago without noting the time period is bad form.

The love language test in part because it was a great way to start a conversation about our romantic needs with my spouse.

The state needs to ask for federal involvement in these situations. And I’m not just saying that it’s on Ohio to ask, legally how the system is set up is the state needs to ask in order for any release of aid. DeWine ® did not ask. The white house and federal agencies did everything they legally could to assist and be ready for the ask, DeWine just didn’t.

To be fair that is probably on a coffee mug

Can someone explain to me why we cannot wrap these deep fakes into existing identity theft law? Or at least impersonating a public official /government employee when it comes to politicians.

Ok then what is your point?i don’t mean to be facetious but is that’s not your point, it’s heavily implied in your second&third paragraphs, then it seems your point is that the people who criticize her haven’t read her work. That’s not really a stance worth arguing as there’s not a lot of evidence or rhetoric that can be brought to support it.

Objectivism is a self centered and unsustainable philosophy. Rand founded and describes it as “the concept of man as a heroic being, with his own happiness as the moral purpose of his life, with productive achievement as his noblest activity, and reason as his only absolute”. A society where every person strives only for their on happiness and as the main character in the world is arguably one of the least viable social systems. That is pretty much the set up of an oligarchy.

Also your argument that she lives through something terrible so she can’t be wrong because that’s her experience doesn’t support her philosophy. She can still be a hypocrite and patently wrong without discounting her early life.

The number of countries that pegged their currency to the USD is staggering. If the US defaults for any reason the global economy ceases to exist. Crashed by Adam Tooze is a great deep dive into the 2008 financial crises and goes in depth on how interconnected all the major economies are.

It’s not it’s just a little effort in remembering the couple major details of people you see frequently instead of feeling exhausted from the anxiety of being stuck in a conversation.

Answer their question with questions. If they ask about your weekend all about their’s then followup on a detail. They will talk for a couple minutes then end with some version of “hey great chat but I need to get a couple things done”. If you want to remain approachable you need to give people the chance to talk but also don’t really need to share much of yourself. Keep tabs on the easy things(kids, spouse, etc) and you have a lot of variations of very basic questions for a short conversation. How’s kid liking school? Did you and spouse have a nice weekend? Then one or two follow up questions to them and you can end the conversation without the other person feeling like you blew them off.

They don’t prepare them to take care of women and monorities either.
