Time to set my VPN to California

Why

I don’t have to be related to someone to be able to imagine what life would be like in their shoes, how what I would want to do if in their position might affect others, and ultimately whether or not we should ban something, provide aid for something, or ignore something.

The republican electorate seems largely incapable of doing that, and that’s why republican officials act surprised when people vote for the good of anyone other than themselves.

If reddit hadn’t locked their API behind absurd paywalls, it would have been a cool project to try to make a browser plugin that gives accounts a “credit score” based on the factors you’ve been looking at, in order to let users quickly judge how likely an account is a bot.

It could let people adjust the metrics it uses to calculate that score in the settings, so even if it becomes popular enough for bots to start trying to game the system, people can adapt their scoring metrics themselves and share config profiles that they think are more effective at rating bots.

Might be something cool to see for activitypub/fediverse/lemmy accounts, but with the data available varying by instance it might be a little harder to calibrate a “catch-all” scoring config

Lower inflammation, except for people with pollen allergies for the species of trees around them

But wasn’t he just claiming a few weeks back that Kamala Harris wasnt black enough?

Sure Donny. Their rhetoric is of violence and intolerance for their fellow man. Right.

All violence is political violence.

Hopefully this puts LSD on a path to being easier to research and potentially becoming part of an approved therapy for certain conditions.

I personally agree with you on nearly all points, but it’s not what’s being argued by both major parties so I opted to leave it out of my original comment. I would argue that even if those changes couldn’t be made because politics, that at least documenting everyone who enters would have the effect of more accurate data than census and job reports can provide, because one is a 10-year process and the other is excluding non-working immigrants and those who do work exclusively under the table

Uncontrolled immigration IS a bad thing, because properly documenting the people who enter our country is vital for providing public services in a manner that reflects the population makeup.

Nearly everyone agrees that undocumented border crossings should be reduced, they disagree on how to do this.

That said, a failure to counter incoherent nonsense does not an acceptance make. Strive to post less sensationalist headlines

Not to mention, he tends to spend his money by investing in startups that (as far as I can tell) actually solve a problem. He’s not one to cut corners and inflate values needlessly, and he’s far more concerned with making a business successful than extracting every penny of profit possible.

Do I think it’s bad that one man has as much power has he does? Absolutely. Am I glad that at least one man with as much power as he does uses it to make the world a little better? You bet.

Mark Cuban is not an example of why Billionaires should be allowed to exist, he’s just an example of how being a billionaire doesn’t NECESSARILY mean you’re an evil person.

This is the most incredible article I’ve ever. EVER. Read.

This will change the world, so long as the word gets out and Big Pharma doesn’t somehow force the government to crack down on it and stop people from accessing the materials they need to make their own meds.

Plastics are only plastics when many separate (often gaseous) molecules called monomers form large chains or webs called polymers. If you vaporize a polymer, it gets reverted to being many monomers

While I doubt he’s the spitting image of a healthy body, I’m willing to bet a lot of the chub on him is a bulletproof vest. I don’t believe for a second the man goes anywhere without one these days

If we stopped donating to specific campaigns and started donating to organizations that are lobbying against voter suppression we could all do much more than our single vote allows
