I agree with you 100%, just wanted to say that you probably mean tortuous… though torturous is definitely metaphorically possible 😂

Yes, because people don’t want to do that unless there’s a corrupt reason for it, like with Taft and Jackson. It would be way too much to ask of a non corrupt person.
…but you think Andrew Jackson and Taft were doing what was best for the country?
My point is that it’s too much to ask of her to be president for eight years and then continue nobly serving her country.
The people who still want to be in politics after that aren’t doing it for good reasons.
Did you read anything past that? I agree that it’s bullshit to say that the poverty levels are basically the same and I don’t know why on earth they’re using statistics that don’t reflect the vast difference in average wealth between the 70s and now.
They don’t consider that a reason to feel better about though, rather something to be ashamed about. They go on to talk about how the root of the problem is our economic system, compounded by our awful policy choices.
I don’t know about Quincy adams, but the other two do not represent what I want more of in American politics
I think the overturning of chevron deference actually might make it so that politicians are just as qualified to make medical decisions for their constituents as doctors. It’s not a good era for the Supreme Court
They began testing a vaccine for smoking based cancer a few months ago. Emphysema and COPD are still things to worry about, but cancer might not be for long.
It’s surprising that you intended to agree with the original commenter whom you replied to, but sometimes it do be like that.
Innocent and guilty have formal legal definitions and informal, everyday ones. OJ Simpson was found innocent of murder, but I think it’s probably pretty likely that he did it with intent. Those can both be true.
I’m infinitely disappointed that the response was not: only if you’re going to lie during the interview
I don’t know anything about tech, so please bear with your mom’s work friend (me) being ignorant about technology for a second.
I thought the whole issue with generative ai as it stands was that it’s equally confident in truth and nonsense, with no way to distinguish the two. Is there actually a way to get it to “remember” true things and not just make up things that seem like they could be true?
In their comment history, I see discussing exercise, talking about their (positive) social interaction with their community, and arguing (politely) about niche leftist issues. You may not like it, but this is the ideal lemmy lifestyle. Yours is a bunch of catty speculation at other people needing help because they disagree with you.
Libel, like library
You hear that, campaigns for abused children?
The majority of porn with trans women is aggressively fetishized and dog-whistley to blatantly transphobic. I’m honestly not surprised that someone who consumes it is a transphobe.
I could see children deciding that this is how they get gun control laws.
It’s generally legal in the US, with some exceptions (judges holding court, maybe ship captains?), and as an American, it’s a little hard to wrap my head around the laws in Germany. I live here, so I just don’t say rude things to strangers, but what is an insult?
Some people are ugly or fat or bald or stupid, all of which I would consider insults. Can the truth be an insult? What if I did fuck that dude’s mom last night, would it be an insult to tell him? I’ve seen dutzen (use of the informal “you”) be considered an insult, and I just don’t understand how. I understand how it can offend someone, but the word I use for the people I love best in the world is objectively not an insult.
If insulting is subjective, can lizzo (or an equally body positive person) get away with calling someone fat?
Above all, how is saying “it is my sincere opinion that” before the insult a real defense?
Oh my god. I thought George Lucas had lost a lot of weight and it was a shitpost
