  • Trump vs China

    Jump

  • If it would keep trump out of office for another four years it would make the odds of him ever regaining power vanishingly small; he'd be in his mid eighties in the next election, and all the lawsuits against him wouldn't have been thrown out.

    Say what you will about Biden, but he was pretty effective at pausing the slide into fascism. He strengthened ties with our allies and invested in infrastructure. If Harris had won we could have taken back the Supreme Court and actually started reversing course.

  • We sort of did have a 'stop fascism' button, but it was labelled Kamala Harris and a lot of people just weren't really feeling like voting I guess.

  • Trump, Bukele Condemn Abrego Garcia to Prison On Live TV

    Jump

  • And El Salvador

    Under Bukele’s crackdown, the government has been undercounting homicides by as much as 47 percent. This is no bureaucratic or clerical error. Since taking office, Bukele’s administration has been laser-focused on reducing homicide rates and improving perceptions of security.

  • TIL about 1 million liters of urine is spilled onto the bathroom floor every day in the U.S.

    Jump

  • It's more like 6ml (264172/166100000 gallons), and considering the average man produces between 800 and 2000ml per day, that's like a 0.5% spill rate.

    Also it says nothing about the rate being evenly distributed over the days, it could be that the average guy spills a fraction of a liter in one slip up every couple weeks, not 6ml every single day. Plus the young and elderly likely throw off those averages.

    Lastly, your assumption that most drops go on the pants ignores the whole point of the new design this article is about: the splashback. They claim most of the urine that misses a urinal splashes out in microdroplets.

  • Not having a penis: the perfect counter to the fidgit spinner trap

  • GNU kicking off Bill Gates and Steve Jobs

    Jump

  • This one is particularly hard to look at too. The inconsistent style, the perspective problems, the weird postures, the unnatural motion, Gate's weird three fingered hand.

    You could make a better version of the same thing with Gimp.

  • Mike Johnson says men need to stop ‘playing video games all day’ and get to work: ‘They’re draining resources’

    Jump

  • I doubt you'd be happy with that long term. I had a friend who did that and it burned him out hard, working long hours for a family he hardly had time with. But maybe you're exceptional.

    Regardless, it's not easy to find a job like that in this economy.

  • Nintendo clarifies Zelda: Breath of the Wild's Switch 2 Edition doesn't include its paid DLC

    Jump

  • Yeah, it's the same price. Right now if you want BOTW on the Switch it costs $60 for the game and $20 for the DLC. On the Switch 2 it will be $70 for the game and $20 for the DLC. If you already own the game on the Switch it's $10 to upgrade (or free with NSO). Basically they're just charging an optional $10 for the enhanced graphics. You can still play the original version on the Switch 2 at no extra cost.

  • Tourist helicopter crashes in Hudson River in New York City, all 6 on board killed

    Jump

  • It was a tourist flight to see the city, they cost like $200. This isn't some sort of billionaire with a private helicopter, it was a family on vacation. Are the kids better off dead too? Wtf.

    Jump

  • Siemens also makes high speed electric trains and some of the most reliable car chargers.

    Getting mad at a company that automates away meneal jobs because capitalism forces people to depend on doing shit work for the rich in order to eat is kinda short sighted imo.

    Like yeah, if everything had to be done by hand it would put more money into the hands of the working class, but it would also make it harder for them to afford a decent lifestyle because everything would be more expensive; automation offers the potential for everyone to live better, we're just using it in a system that privatizes the gains into a small pool of wealthy owners.

    What is one moral you have that most people don't agree with?

  • I was going to say "Copyright is theft" but I see that's basically OPs take, so I'll settle for 'same'.

  • Era of close ties with US 'is over': Canada PM Carney

    Jump

  • I guess if you're just looking at one side. To me a close relationship requires mutual commitment, like we used to have with Canada. Our appeasement of Russia isn't closeness, it's obsequiousness.

  • Era of close ties with US 'is over': Canada PM Carney

    Jump

  • Our era of close ties with Russia has been over for a damn hot minute. Trump thinks he's friends with Putin, but Putin just wants to cripple the US.
