Honestly that's a bad look on Merkel. It didn't take a single political generation. This has been brewing since the Citizens United decision and the creation of Fox News as a right-wing propaganda arm.

Just as nobody has ever experienced true communism, either.

Paramount is already swimming in debt. The deal may not ever go through if they go under.

I don't believe this any more than I believe *Islamic terror" is a problem for Muslims to stop - a common refrain from the right. We all have a responsibility to fix society's problems.

I'm gonna be honest here, when AMD stock price is $500/share, $15k is basically peanuts. It's 30 shares out of 1.6B in circulation.

That last one is not what I think of when I think of a "black swan event".

Is it not Medialab who is responsible for the terms of service update which banned NSFW images here? This is why the protest.

The Hill employed John Solomon for years and that's all you need to know about their opinion pages.

1.4 solar masses is quite close to the requirement of a black hole. Are magnetars just failed black holes?

It would require discovery on the plaintiff's part to prove otherwise. But we all know it's a SLAPP suit.

This woman was born in the 90s. I knew a girl back in the 80s who was impregnated by a 32-year-old at 15. Her parents had his ass in jail for statutory rape for the first year or so of the child's life.

How much time and effort did he spend perfecting what is basically a life hack only useful in a casino

Climate change is real folks but not every weather event is a sign of it. South Florida is struggling because of a low pressure system sitting and doing nothing in the Atlantic. It's dragging rainfall across the state. May is the start of the rainy season in Florida and yet they hadn't had much rain until this week. If anything, the heavy trains this week is a regression to the mean

I remember when we were welcoming twins into the family and I had to tell my employer that if the insurance they claimed only covered me didn't cover my whole family I'd have to get a new job because I was not going to be able to afford another $5k a year in insurance. They are HQed in another country and mostly had no understanding of American health insurance.

Look at how the world is reacting to Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Most countries don't want to use large scale war to accomplish policy objectives. Wars over accumulation of territory are largely a thing of the past. But what's so screwed about Iraq is these fuckers likely knew it was funded by the Saudis and concocted this bullshit to get at Saddam because they didn't want to ruin their economic position with SA. It was an excuse to get at their oil and we all knew it.

They also voted against capping prescription drug costs and bitched to no end about Medicare negotiating drug prices. Their statement actually reads like a humble brag.

It's level of importance. For users, this is a rare use case. For developers, there aren't enough complaints to make it easier to use.

Don't hurt yourself on that massive conclusion you just jumped at.

If she continues on the path, she will be destroyed anyway. Best you do it now while she still has a chance to live. I failed to convince my own mother because I was not direct enough in my methods. I would steal it, dump it into the sink, or flat out destroy it in front of her. She never got mad at me and it's probably because she knew. But she never did anything about it either, not for years and years anyway. So be direct, be concerned, and be supportive. And tell her you love her.
