They also drop a cool shield in Elden Ring.

I still have a sound card, because I have a stupid sound bar that works great except it only takes optical audio input.

“NO NOT LIKE THAT!”

Because unemployment isn’t really that low. When we talk about “people here now who could use those jobs”, we’re usually talking about people in dead end jobs that could use a career job.

So great, pull them into our elder care system, give them a career level up…now their old jobs are still unfilled. And while we’re super shitty as a country towards entry level service workers, we also as a country really want those jobs to be filled. So we’d need to fill that gap in the employment pool somehow.

It’s the “all your eggs in one basket” problem.

Just in case you misread the title (because I did at first), Namibia is explicitly not looking into other people’s pants now.

Why did it take until 2024? Humans being humans, I guess. Gotta go after some “other”.

While I agree with the sentiment here, this is pretty 1-dimensional. For one, US support of Ukraine actually has little to do with democracy and everything to do with national sovereignty. One nation with imperial ambitions invaded another nation without pretense, US provides aid to stave off that invasion.

Hypocritical given US history of imperialism? Sure. But it’s NOT imperialism under the mask of democracy.

Similar arguments apply to various points on this list. Supporting NATO is about maintaining a military alliance against common enemies, not spreading democracy.

They crack nuts with their beaks, we had to invent a tool for that job.

Progressive tax brackets. This hypothetical tax is only on money earned over 10M/1M.

I mean…

Yeah.

Nvidia is the shovel-seller right now. A couple of AI companies will probably get huge, 99% will fail. But Nvidia is getting paid by them all.

I thought it was a photoshop. That shit is actually real, lol.

“I did that” sticker people in shambles

But if you’re talking to an alien that uses base 4, they don’t know what you mean by “base 9+1”. Wtf is a 9?

Get enough of a majority in congress that she can be impeached (and convicted). Not possible with a 51/50 split in the senate. It’d take damn near 67 dem senators. Maaaaaaybe they can get 1 or 2 Rs to flip but it’s a long shot.

Tbf, even the “right” way to balance 7 tubes in 24 slots is a bit cursed of you don’t look at it as a superposition.

But you’ve got 3 tubes in an equilateral triangle and 2 pairs mirrored across the center, so we’re all good here.

I mean, this is a useful law for those concerned with the excessive force against pro-palestine protestors, because the definition it references specifically calls out criticism of Israel as a state not being antisemitism.

If you read the text of the act, it really doesn’t do much of anything. Doesn’t expand the powers of the department of education or any law enforcement agency, just clarifies the definition of antisemitism used in existing laws about discrimination. The exact definition proposed is from the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance:

Antisemitism is a certain perception of Jews, which may be expressed as hatred toward Jews. Rhetorical and physical manifestations of antisemitism are directed toward Jewish or non-Jewish individuals and/or their property, toward Jewish community institutions and religious facilities.

Nothing involving criticism of the government of Israel. That said, they do offer a little bit of clarification on their website:

Manifestations might include the targeting of the state of Israel, conceived as a Jewish collectivity. However, criticism of Israel similar to that leveled against any other country cannot be regarded as antisemitic.

I really don’t see anything worth getting worked up about. This is about as standard, boring government as it gets.
