What frightens me is when you see a vehicle put on their brake lights while they are clearly accelerating. I tend to back way away from that type of driver.

It means they are pushing on both the brake and accelerator at the same time. In essence, they are revving the engine, engaging the power train AND applying brake force to it all at the same time.

Does anyone else feel like she's ramping up her media attention for a 2028 presidential run?

It just seems odd since she went silent after 2016 and now it seems like she's trying to get in the headlines again.

God I hope she doesn't run.

I try to look at it like this: before 2016, I thought this level of hatred, bigotry and cruelty was an outlier in the right. That most of them just wanted tax cuts and weren't hood wearing racists. I've since learned that the "outliers" are the party and the "moderates" are the actual outliers.

"When someone shows you who they are, believe them." Maya Angelou.

Yes. Like many other suburban white folk, I had an all too naive view on racial issues. While I didn't think all racist issues had been solved, I didn't realize how bad things actually were.

This was the catalyst I needed to switch to self hosting rustdesk. It was a bit of a pain setting up, but people comfortable with cli would handle it much better than I did.

My "heritage" involves kicking the shit out of their "heritage." Perhaps I should honor mine?

This is a good move. He's doing what he can to temper Netanyahu's attempts at genocide, while still protecting Israel.

I just hope it's enough to stop the killings. That monster will sacrifice every man, woman and child to stay in power (and out of prison).

It also shows how toothless the extreme MAGA side is. Democrats and moderate Republicans made bipartisan deals to get aid passed and this troglodyte can't abide compromise. She genuinely thinks compromise is evil.

To be fair, he was supposed to put up over $400 million to prevent asset forfeiture with a hard deadline. He ended up posting bond for about a quarter of that, nearly a month after the deadline with no consequences.

A lot of people are rightfully skeptical that he'll never face consequences for his illegal acts.

Keep in mind, under the U.S. House's new bill, criticizing this counts as antisemitism.

meleecrits , 1 month ago

The bill, titled the Antisemitism Awareness Act, would mandate that the Education Department adopt the broad definition of antisemitism used by the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance, an intergovernmental group, to enforce anti-discrimination laws.

Further down:

The letter pointed in part to an example of antisemitism included in the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance's definition, which says antisemitism could include "denying the Jewish people their right to self-determination, e.g., by claiming that the existence of a State of Israel is a racist endeavor."

Former President Donald Trump declared Tuesday that Israel must “finish the problem” in its war against Hamas

Right. This guy that called for a Muslim ban will be so much more sympathetic to the genocide in Gaza...

This is a death sentence for Tesla. I have a Model 3 that I enjoy despite its shortcomings. One of the deciding factors was the supercharger network. It's the easiest system I've used for charging. It makes all other networks infuriating in comparison.

A lot of people get Teslas for the ease of charging alone. If the network starts to falter, people will leave the brand even faster than they already are.

Tesla really needs to vote this idiot out of the CEO position before he kills the company.

Anecdotal, but I've actually been saving for retirement since I was in my twenties (forty now) and I doubt I'll actually be able to retire. Most models say I need to put in more than ten percent of my salary and I can't afford that.

Looks awesome! As a hobbyist wood worker myself, I've come to enjoy the imperfections that come with hand built items. It gives them personality.

Joking aside, when your taste in wives is reprehensible enough to make mid 19th century men uneasy, you're a fucking horrible person.

I had a friend tell me that her husband declined a raise because the boss told him it would put him in the next tax bracket and he would ultimately lose money. He accepted this with no scrutiny. When I told her how progressive tax works, she was livid with the deception.

Propaganda is a hell of a drug.

So what are the odds that these voters will vote out the people that caused this mess in November? This is a rhetorical statement, as this is Alabama. The state that almost voted for a child molester over a Democrat.

someone lost and turning around on the highway.

Tragically, that does happen.. Fortunately, New York has sane laws when it comes to killing people (for now) and he was convicted of murder.

I live in the district below hers. There is no way she's losing her district. New York's North Country is as conservative and poorly educated as many southern states.
