Why look something up when you already know the answer? So long as you make the average person confident enough in their own ability to discern the truth - which isn't hard, given most people's desire to feel smart - you can get them to accept an enormous amount of misinformation at face value.

Well, there's your problem - you forgot the sugar, so all you've made is lemon juice.

Yeah, I went looking for any source of information outlining Arnaldo Cavallari's political views, and couldn't find anything at all. The closest I got were a couple sources saying he invented ciabatta specifically because he hated the French, but the only reasoning they gave for that assumption was that he said he disliked the rising popularity of baguettes. Hardly seems like enough information to nonchalantly call him a fascist. We've got enough extremists running around - we don't need to be vilifying regular people when major world leaders are displaying fascistic tendencies right now.

While I agree, it's still important to vote Democrat just to keep things from getting worse even faster while we drum up support for a better solution.

Most republican voters I know, boomer or otherwise, simply view voting differently than most their lefter-leaning constituents. I often hear them say that the point of voting is to simply choose what benefits you the most, and that if everyone simply chooses things that specifically align with their own wants and needs, that the biggest, most important groups will get what is needed. It's not even that they understand that they're being selfish by only voting in their own best interests, they just honestly believe that considering the needs of others when voting undermines its effectiveness.

Now, it's obvious that they're wrong - smaller groups deserve just as much of a say as their larger counterparts, and the country benefits when they do - but they don't think about it that way. I believe it's also why republicans are so concerned about becoming a minority - they honestly believe that voting should specifically only benefit the largest group, and are desperately trying to maintain "their people" as the largest group.

Ultimately, it should be a law. Companies will always want to exploit their workers whenever possible, and the entire point of a government is to enforce the will of the people against things like corporations that are too big for any single person to fight. It's basically the concept of "If you're not doing anything wrong, you have nothing to fear," but applying it to companies instead of people, because the people should be free, not the corporations.

If it comes down to it, I'll split the cost with you. If we can't get socialized medicine the way it's meant to be, we'll make it ourselves!

It should be pointed out that Israel is clearly NOT doing this in response to Oct 7th. Hamas was clearly responsible for Oct 7th, and Israel is clearly not attempting to retaliate against Hamas; bombing a building on the off chance that your enemy is within it isn't a counterattack, it's just terrorism, and repeating that action on the scale that Israel is repeating it is not a war, it's genocide.

Unless you live in North Dakota, where the Rhombus Guys pizza chain is located. Pretty good pizza, though overpriced.

This is bad news all around. Self-pollination pretty much eliminates genetic variation from one generation to the next. Any species where organisms reproduce with themselves is at a significantly higher risk to succumb to a disease or parasite that is able to infect and wipe out the entire species.

It's pretty dope, especially when you get to work from home. I'm usually in my pajamas snuggled under a blanket. Much comfier than dress pants in a cubicle.

Bud, that link specifically lists nuclear energy as being sustainable and green. Did you not understand that, or were you just hoping nobody would actually click on the link?
