These kind of idiotic, condescending analogies are all that libs have to offer. That's literally why they lose.

Keep upvoting tho. Feel good about yourselves. That's the real win. \s

(edit: Bonus points for this devolving into carnist attacks on veganism.)

It's outperforming "messier" problems with a much lower success rate.

Classic pseudo-science for the modern grifter. Vague definitions, sloppy measurements, extremely biased, wild unsupported predictions, etc.

You're over complicating this shit.

Weight loss is primarily just calories burned minus calories eaten...

(times some factor, plus/minus some constant, ignoring higher order terms, excluding exogenous variables, etc.)

Harris, who is also pretty moderate

Pretty moderate by imperial standards. Absolute fascist by objective measurement.

I doubt that moderate Democrats are especially upset at the moment.

Ofc most dems are not upset. They're completely fine with 99% of Trump's fascism. That's why we're here.

The second problem is that the US electoral system always stabilizes around two big-tent parties.

AKA it's an excellent system for violent control but a terrible joke of a "democracy".

It’s not clear to me that introducing a new party solves problems here.

They're not trying to solve problems that we care about. They're trying to maintain their control. That's the "problem" here.

If it's working, they'll get rid of it sooner or later.

The old school dems will team up with the majority of Rs

Already been happening for a long time.

Already living under increasing fascism.

Yep. There's only one party in USA: the fascist party.

If your grandma can handle torrenting over VPN, then she can probably handle Jellyfin.

So you're saying that capital and the state collaborated in order to get rich off some phony bullshit that's ultimately just another weapon of control?

I'm SHOCKED! \s

You already found it. Welcome to something better.

 

India has more than 300 million unorganised sector workers. Many suffer from withheld wages, endless toil and coercion – telltale signs, according to the ILO, of forced labour.

 

Utah cannot stifle young people’s First Amendment rights to use social media to speak about politics, create art, discuss religion, or to hear from other users discussing those topics, EFF argued in a brief filed this week.

 

YouTube pulled a popular tutorial video from tech creator Jeff Geerling this week, claiming his guide to installing LibreELEC on a Raspberry Pi 5 violated policies against "harmful content." The video, which showed viewers how to set up their own home media servers, had been live for over a year and racked up more than 500,000 views. YouTube's automated systems flagged the content for allegedly teaching people "how to get unauthorized or free access to audio or audiovisual content."

Geerling says his tutorial covered only legal self-hosting of media people already own -- no piracy tools or copyright workarounds. He said he goes out of his way to avoid mentioning popular piracy software in his videos. It's the second time YouTube has pulled a self-hosting content video from Geerling. Last October, YouTube removed his Jellyfin tutorial, though that decision was quickly reversed after appeal. This time, his appeal was denied.

 

Like many American Jews, I was brought up to see Israel as infallible. Living among Palestinians taught me vital truths about the reality of the occupation.

I finished that year [his "year in Israel"] with little understanding of Israel’s occupation. While I noticed more “Arabs” (the word “Palestinians” never crossed our lips) around my settlement than in Israel proper, I remained oblivious to their reality of living under foreign military rule, with no citizenship or voting rights.

In a sweeping escalation of the attack on public education, the Trump administration has embedded a nationwide private school voucher scheme in its new federal budget proposal. If passed, it will establish a universal voucher program for the first time in US history, bankrolled by an unprecedented $5 billion annual tax credit giveaway to wealthy donors.

School vouchers are schemes by which public tax dollars designed for public schools are repackaged into “scholarships” and reallocated to families for private school. They originated in the US in the 1950s as “tuition grants” to circumvent racial integration mandated following the landmark Civil Rights ruling Brown v. Board of Education.

The ramifications of Trump’s measure are no less reactionary. Public resources would be transferred from chronically underfunded schools serving the working class and poor into private, religious-based and elite institutions.

The initiative follows decades of billionaire-funded campaigns to open up the “education market.” Political Action Committees, such as the Koch brothers’ School Freedom Fund and the American Federation for Children, supported by the family of Betsy DeVos, invested hundreds of millions of dollars into backing failed ballot initiatives to enact statewide vouchers or to target the election campaigns of legislators in opposition.

The big lie is that these are grassroots parental campaigns for “choice”; they are not. Polls consistently show that voters reject vouchers when given the chance. In fact, since 1970, voters have never approved a statewide ballot measure to create or expand private school vouchers, according to the National Coalition for Public Education.

 

Over the last several decades, the Food and Drug Administration has allowed pharma companies to sell hundreds of drugs to patients without adequate evidence that they work and, in many cases, with clear signs that they pose a risk of serious harm.

A federal judge ruled today that Florida cannot enforce a law that requires social media platforms to block kids from using their platforms.
