Border crossings were unusually low under Trump, partly because of Mexico's economy at the time and partly because he succeeded in scaring away a lot of immigrants. And Obama was criticized for "cooking the books" to count people who were turned away at the border www.politico.com/story/2011/1...

POV: you're about to meet your favorite band

I think that it's generally a good idea for both medical doctors and psychologists to avoid diagnosing someone without actually seeing them in person... But anyone can look at a picture of the world's fattest man and reasonably declare him morbidly obese. Trump is the world's most narcissistic man

Context BTW

Avatar: the last Airbender is Asian-coded fantasy, so it's a bit silly when most of the presumably Asian characters aren't Asian. Dragon Ball is Chinese-coded fantasy, so it's silly when most of the characters are white. LotR is Western European-coded fantasy... You can see where I'm going

Actually that's might be more defensible: the SS logo is sometimes used in the US military to mean Scout Sniper. Which isn't great, but I'm pretty sure it's more commonly used in the military than the Totemkamph

This is by Platner First of all, his username is P-hustle. Second, most of the wars he said he wanted to fight in involved horrible massacres or ethnic cleansing. Third, he's clearly a military history buff, which makes it way harder to believe he didn't know he was getting a Totemkamph tattoo

Show me a cool physical game

The tiny blip at the end is how much oil futures have actually increased. Stock market headlines without actually % change numbers are usually misleading

All Of These UBI Studies Look At Individuals In Experiments Where Only A Small Number Of People Are On UBI And Thus You Can't Make Determinations About The Effect On Society Or Economy If Implementation Was Widespread

They blocked me for this, but here's the context

This is supposed to be a defense of him?

Obligatory

There's also this

It's not just any skull and bones, it's a very specific design called the Totenkopf. It's associated with the German military, and today it's almost exclusively associated with the Nazis. It's also a commonly used symbol by Neo-Nazis.

On the one hand a lot of people are insane about the homeless, but on the other hand that's easy to say from the state with the third lowest rates of homelessness (because your cops force them to leave and go to other states)

The poverty has also gone down rapidly, starting with the industrial revolution. It consistently created more jobs than it removed. It was a boon for all of humanity You're just a small c conservative... terrified of any uncertainty, and thus terrified of any change.

The "human cost" was miniscule compared to the extraordinary positive benefits of that technology. The vast majority of people who are currently alive wouldn't be if not for that technological progress.

Putting aside that the water boiling advisory is almost certainly not because of a data center, this is dumb for a few reasons. First, they post on BlueSky and FF14, both of which make heavy use of data centers. Some uses of AI have higher per user footprints, but not all! Some probably use less

Here's individual income among wage earners

Gen Z are on track to outperform previous generations for inflation-adjusted income

You're missing the big picture. That underclass comprised the vast majority of the world population for long before the industrial revolution. What changed is that everyone's quality of life improved dramatically because of technological advancements that the industrial revolution accelerated

This is the only glance you see of his face in the games (which is Halo 4, so after Bungie left the series)
