Still have them all over the place in the US 🫠

Mythbusters did a segment that showed the air dryers are more likely to spread germs. So it’s just awful all around

I’m talking about reporting on tips for events that might happen, not those that have happened. I laid out the reasons in a different comment, but the important distinction is not reporting on tips for possible future events

It is absolutely a weird argument

Journalists report on what has happened and what is currently happening. They don’t know if their info on what is going to happen is accurate. If they report the information and nothing happens, they lose credibility. If they report the information and people die as a result (or at least more than would have died without reporting), they would be charged with leaking Intel and likely held responsible, at least partially, for those deaths.

It is a no-win scenario to report on things like this before it happens. And that’s really uncomfortable - real human lives could be saved, and there is a mechanism for disseminating information to get the word out and make a difference. But it’s also impossible to know the accuracy of the information, it’s impossible to know if it’s deliberately misleading, it’s impossible to know the true goals of releasing such information to a news organization before the events unfold - for all we know, this was a test by the administration, and if they failed the entire company could be shuttered.

It’s easy to get frustrated with news outlets based on what they do and don’t report, but there is usually logic behind their reasoning.

News outlets and journalists also have a duty to not endanger people. By releasing details of capturing Maduro before the operation, it could have put US service members in danger. Not only that, but it’s possible they didn’t trust the source.

It’s exactly the same reasoning the original signal chat leak wasn’t reported until after the strikes discussed in the chat had happened.

There is some crazy stat around people who are in jail for years with the only charge being resisting arrest. It’s disgusting

I don’t want to be 😔

Suing doesn’t mean you get money, it means you open a complaint and request judgement. Sometimes the judgement results in someone getting money, but not always. If you read the article, you’d see they are suing in order to compel the administration to comply with 11 FOIA requests.

The DNC said the court must now enforce FOIA requirements “to ensure that the American people obtain timely knowledge of potential threats to free and fair elections and to enable the DNC to take appropriate action to ensure voting rights are protected.”

I miss this show

In New Jersey, it’s called the FUCK ICE bill 🤗

Why not volunteer for Habitat for Humanity? Teach an ESL class? Host a block party? Spend time with senior citizens at the local nursing home? Read books to kids at the library? Help out at an animal shelter? Clean up litter from the streets?

The possibilities are endless

I’m not sure if it was touched on in this article, but the scammers convinced the guy (over a few hours on the phone) the driver was there to hurt him if he didn’t hand over the money.

I certainly don’t agree with his actions, but reducing the entire thing to racist violence is misguided and ignores everything that happened leading up to her death.

Rep. Greg Steube, R-Fla., one of two Republicans who voted against the legislation, vented his frustrations with the process that led to the provision being included, and the fact that House Republicans were being asked to vote for the bill regardless.

“That does nothing to change the fact that certain senators will get paid an additional $500k of taxpayer money. The Senate will never take up your ‘standalone’ bill,” he wrote on X in response to Johnson. “This is precisely why you shouldn’t let the Senate jam the House.”

Ugh

I think a browser extension would only route through the VPN for traffic within that browser.

It’s easy to test - with the extension running, check your IP in two browsers (or, better yet, from the terminal)

Then trumps famine will begin

He’s petty and doesn’t remember who was president when the events took place. I imagine he’ll argue immunity is retroactive

It was the right thing to do even though it’s a decision that will weigh on him the rest of his life. This is integrity in action.

Honestly I just browse all and comment here and there, nothing too specific

That’s surprising to me. I’ve had the opposite experience, only encountering one butthead (who had plenty of downvotes).

I hope your experience improves, I rather like it here
