US president Joe Biden said that Israel is starting to lose support due to indiscriminate bombing in Gaza amid Hamas war. The comments come after Israel prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu asserted again that US is with Israel as Tel Aviv aims to destroy Hamas and recover hostages held in Gaza....
This is why comments are so useful. I was already on the fence about viewing a site named futurism and your comment made sure I will avoid it moving forward.
I have a former best friend who still somehow finds a way to fanboy over Musk, despite the excessive information about him and actions he's taken. All very public and easy to find information, yet never swayed the guy's opinion and the last time we talked about it he was still fanboying. It really should have been a warning sign of things to come with that friendship. Truly, only mentally and emotionally inept losers are still on Musk's side and the former friend's the only person I know who still has a favorable opinion of Musk.
I hope we sometime soon move beyond discussing Twitter and its saboteur. There's so much more in tech happening than whatever headline he's trying to grab with his newest sabotage.

Overall I think the conversation needs to shift away from "Americans are divided" and instead be shifted towards "The rich are dividing the working class for their personal benefit". They're destroying the planet too. The rich need to be made responsible for what they are doing and suffer the consequences.
Similar situation. If there is something I'm researching I still add "reddit" onto my search criteria since otherwise google queries return nothing but ads and garbage SEO enhanced blogspam sites. I used to look at the dragonball, chainsaw man and one punch man subreddits when new issues were released, but I'm moving over to discord for those now.

I'm tired of hearing about him too but unfortunately Tesla and Twitter are high profile companies. When they are in the news, he is unfortunately associated.
Emperor's New Groove and Lilo & Stitch were also two of the last few times Disney put out something original. The last two decades of Disney releases have mostly been franchises they've bought from others or remakes of older Disney films that weren't even their original stories to begin with, e.g. Star Wars, MCU, 20th Century Fox, Pixar, a majority of Disney classics.
Elon Musk’s move over the weekend to rebrand Twitter and replace its iconic bird logo with an X is just the latest step in his effort to make over the billionaire’s longtime favorite platform in his image.
I'm less concerned about the rebranding and more concerned about people shrugging their shoulders that one man is so rich he was able to buy one of the most influential communication companies of the century and crater it because it hurt his feelings, now allowing hate speech to run rampant on the site, but he still has so much cash to burn.
Do Republicans stand for anything besides rolling back progress? They never present any new legislation other than rolling back protections for non-white, non-rich, non-christian, non-males.
According to the United States Constitution, Article III, Section 3, “Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying war against them, or in adhering to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort. No person shall be convicted of treason unless on the testimony of two witnesses to the same overt act, or on confession in open court.”
Furthermore, 18 U.S.C § 2381, states that a person guilty of treason against the United States “shall suffer death, or shall be imprisoned not less than five years and fined under this title but not less than $10,000; and shall be incapable of holding any office under the United States.”
It's wild to me that according to our laws so many of these "law and order" Republicans should be either executed or behind bars, yet walk free and unscathed.
This seems to be on a much smaller scale than the initial plan, if I'm reading this correctly, and targets folks really in need. Mainly this seems to be targeting people who have decades old debt because they literally can't afford to pay back their loans - which seems totally fair. Many students took out loans with the promise from their peers and guardians that "college will be a worthwhile investment and you'll make your money back". That was obviously a lie for these borrowers as the price of tuition and stagnation of wages has guaranteed that promise is dead. This will ultimately be good for the economy and is an example of government working to help the people - so Republicans will hate it.
Apple doesn't give a shit. Any time a corporation "cares" it's for money-making potential only. Starbucks abandoned Pride as soon as it could have affected their profit margins.
I bring this up because it seems to once again be gaining traction in the zeitgeist: I cannot comprehend why UFO hunters put so much time and effort into trying to force governments to "reveal the truth about extraterrestrial contact", but I also cannot fathom how they think aliens even have a chance of successfully contacting...
One pollster sees “flashing red” signs on youth turnout as Gen Z and millennial voters, who are not satisfied with either party, could again play a decisive role in the next election.
Even after all the bull shit, my parent still refuses to fucking vote. This weekend she tried to start a conversation about how the ice caps are melting. Yeah, no shit! Not like you have done ANYTHING to prevent it either. Mine and my young niece's futures are totally bleak because of the older generation being proudly ignorant and selfish. It's infuriating!
It's really so sad and frustrating for those under the age of 45. Millennials were raised during a time of prosperity and possibilities, only to find out it was all a sham by the selfish, stupid and mostly older generations. Now Millennials, Gen Z and Gen A will reap the outcomes of all that while those who caused it will die off before things get even worse. I harbor no resent towards Gen X, but their refusal to fight the tide certainly didn't help.
Probably not. If the submersible is even still intact, the search area is the size of Connecticut and they will run out of air soon. Even if they wanted to open a hatch and take their chances outside the vessel, they cannot. If the coast guard even finds them, if they are submerged there's not a great way to reach them either.
