I really don’t think Gaza will be a defining issue in the 2024 election. It’s already fallen out of the news cycle and Gaza city will be under full occupation by next Nov.

Trump, however, will be in the middle of taking a huge beating by all his court cases. There’s zero chance he ever gets more support than what he had last election. The best thing we can hope for is that the GOP puts him up for another election.

Both parties have the same issue right now. Both candidates don’t have great appeal. But there aren’t any Democrats that have an issue voting for Biden. He’s been fine as president. We don’t have to worry about him going off half cocked all the time. The party will fall behind him. The same can’t be said for Trump.

It’s because Edge is built on Chromium now.

I really like when they actually share “insider” details with us like this. It’s much better than just having bad performance and not knowing why.

Graph is great in a lot of ways. I just hope they chose the right version

The main problem with the Pro is that it completely fails at the thing it was primarily marketed for: AR passthrough.

The cameras are so bad that when you use video passthrough, everything is blurry. It’s completely unusable. No one will ever use it for productivity tasks in its current form. Meta should have just focused on making a high end gaming version because they failed at making it usable for anything business related.

Someone who’s innocent generally wouldn’t be dropped by their manager either. They know something we don’t and are jumping ship real quick.

Yeah, I was gunna say: this impeachment attempt is obvious political theater, but I’m not about to listen to anything CNN has to say about it.

They’re a major part of why politics are all a complete joke now.

Sugar is only part of it. Corn and wheat based products are just as bad.

The truth has to do with food availability as well, not just what it’s made of.

Food availability has increased in the US over the past 50+ years, to where we have over 4000 calories per person a day now. Easy access to unhealthy food is a major contributor to our obesity. People don’t even understand what a healthy diet looks like and have a very poor grasp on how much to eat. We just eat until we’re stuffed and then wonder why we’re fat.

It’s especially tough as people age. I’ve been tracking my diet for 180+ days, eating under 1800 calories a day, and I still struggle with losing weight. Without a lot of effort towards eating the right amount and the right foods, people get fat.

Besides, less fast food restaurants would be a good thing anyway.

It’s more complex than that.

The way the US is spread out makes public transit prohibitively expensive and difficult to achieve proper coverage. To make it effective, you would have to shift the entire way we live. Our entire society is built off the concept that everyone has a car.

Add to the fact that building transit is extra expensive in the US and you arrive at the reality that we will NEVER have a working transit system. That’s why the shift to small cars is needed. We don’t have any more room for roads, so we need more cars to fit in the roads we have

I really hoped that the mask stigma would change, but it’s sad to see it go this way. I might just start wearing a mask again to do my part to normalize it.

If people are sick, they should feel like it’s the right thing to do to wear a mask. It needs to be a normal thing and people that make fun of it are pieces of shit .

Other studies show that in health-care workers, n95 vs medical masks made almost no statistical difference.

However, the use of masks in the public is not necessarily to protect yourself. It’s to keep you from spreading germs in a wide range if you cough. It’s the same concept as herd immunity with vaccinations. We all help protect each other.

So with that in mind: wear a washable cloth mask.

Not sure what he expected. I commend all the protesting, but we all saw how reddit responded. They didn’t give two shits. Yet people stick around in a toxic relationship with the site until they get removed. It’s weird. Why not just make the move to Lemmy before they take everything from you?

There isn’t an easy statement that explains why things are getting worse.

The housing market, for instance, was being affected by low interest rates. Low rates make being a slum lord more profitable than other forms of investment. This caused a massive amount of investment in the housing market by rich people and corporations, and normal people were priced out.

The banks that failed did so because they either invested in dumb things (crypto) or in long-term bonds. Those bonds lose value as interest rates rise, and SVB invested far too much into them.

There’s all kinds of reasons

This does sound like planned obsolescence to me…

Oop CPU sales are down! Leak one of our critical flaws to force people to upgrade!

Passing aggressively on a 2 lane road: ok, yes I agree

Driving slow on a 4 lane highway: real dangerous

If someone isn’t going to go at least the speed limit on a highway, they should use back roads instead.

Unfortunately, a majority of the population like the ad based free service model, so here we are.

True. The only personalized ads I ever receive are for products I literally just purchased.

I don’t know how there’s so much money in the ad space. It just seems like a huge waste.

The worst part is that renewables and EVs are generally just better in every way.

Just because they don’t go vroom vroom, a majority of the population don’t like them.

Yes! It’s the same developer as Divinity.

The games don’t play exactly the same, but they are the same style.
