80k and some departments are still understaffed. Yes, sometimes it really does take that many people to operate a giant multinational corporation whose products are used by billions of people daily and tightly regulated in some markets.
The very same!
This one made me want to kms. These absolute shit-for-brains losers think they are Renaissance men for listening to other shit-brained losers talk about stuff that none of them understand for 4 straight hours.
At this point we have to assume they’re all cool with it.
They are torturing and killing people in our concentration camps, and I wish more people were actively bothered by that
This is definitionally terrorism.
My only qualm is that those children should be provided for through a robust social benefits system and supporting them shouldn’t be individualized punishment because supporting children should never be punishment. But we don’t exist in that world yet, so this seems fine.
The single most important skill in the very unlikely event of a societal collapse is being able to build community. Practice empathy, be a good neighbor, and maintain friendships and alliances.

My pet theory, for which there is no real evidence and I know is silly, is that it would explain an awful lot if a long-term symptom of COVID infection is increased paranoia
Combine it with a platform of “it’s bad that everything is a scam”
Somewhere along the way “unique identifier” became conflated with “identity verification” and now we’re all fucked
I simply would not want my child’s or my own education to be guided by someone who doesn’t understand the value of learning.
The spacing between the edge and “new” is different than the spacing between the edge and “chapter.” Who did this?!
His argument would be like me murdering someone and then saying we should go back to the way my freedom and autonomy was handled pre-murder. Like maybe there are things that changed with Watergate because of what Watergate was, Prof. Yoo!
Why would anyone believe this wouldn’t be immediately used to block other outputs and use-cases also?
I really don't understand how bipartisanship is ever going to work when one of the parties is insane. Imagine trying to negotiate an agreement on dinner plans with your date, and you suggest Italian and she states her preference would be a meal of tire rims and anthrax. If you can figure out a way to split the difference there and find a meal you will both enjoy, you can probably figure out how bipartisanship is going to work the next few years. — From digby’s blog in 2009
From digby’s blog back in 2009. I can’t believe we still have to tell people this.
Oh I don’t think it’s a *secret*
I keep a bag of self-adhesive googly eyes in my purse. In case I see something that needs to become a silly face while I’m out and about. Highly recommend.
Systematically using Reddit to measure how much the drug-using community is talking about specific things affecting the drug-using community is a legitimate research methodology. It’s not like they googled “drug overdose decline why Reddit” and read a few linked posts.
The absolute hubris these people all have to be so confident they’d be in the ruling or protected classes in the alternative timelines they dream of.
Most work wasn’t stopped though. Jobs that could be done remotely continued pretty much normally, and in the US most services continued to be open and functioning. “Entertainment” (restaurants, bars, concert venues) was hit hard, but those add extraordinary value to society.
All this speculation about the potential horrid things the airspace closure around El Paso could signifiy, and all I can think of is the logistics managers having the *worst* day and week of their lives.
If any of these people truly believe AI is sentient and/or has human intelligence, then they are supporting slavery.
This is not how the left has ever viewed firearms. It’s not a recent turn for the left to be pro-2A. Liberals, sure. But not “the left.”
The Way We Never Were (Stephanie Coontz) is a great book on this, in case people want to know more.
…does she actually think people choose abortion because “my male partner didn’t get pregnant therefore I shouldn’t be pregnant either?” or does she just think her audience is stupid? Because that’s extraordinarily stupid.
A coffee shop in Portland was vandalized a few years ago *allegedly* because they were hosting coffee with a cop. ✨praxis✨
Woman takes picture of random passenger walking scarfishly. “Oh heavens! This flight attendant is threatening me!”
People who may want to have children in the future should bear this in mind: tear gas can have serious consequences for female reproductive health. The data on this isn't great but I would at least recommend ensuring you have a quality respirator or mask on at all times.
