Elon Musk says it's his turn to have the remote (www.engadget.com)

[Xitter] just announced a smart TV app for streaming video. Or, more accurately, that it claims it’s building one, with absolutely no launch date mentioned. The appropriately-named [Xitter] TV wants to be “your go-to companion for a high-quality, immersive entertainment experience on a larger screen.”

I feel like the article would’ve been more readable with visual depictions of the vote distributions, instead of just describing them.

I’m not going to pretend I know what Germans are thinking but I thought the author made a strong case about why they’d dislike nuclear. Doesn’t matter how great it is when it’s unpopular.

There’s crazy and then there’s “murder dogs” crazy

“I took my dog hunting and it killed a chicken instead of the bird I wanted it to kill, so I shot my dog” is one hell of a take, eh?

Best case scenario, she didn’t train the dog well… that’s not a great reason to murder it

jeffw OP ,
@jeffw@lemmy.world avatar

I respectfully disagree. I think she’s much more “sex in front of children” crazy than “murder puppies” crazy.

jeffw OP ,
@jeffw@lemmy.world avatar

In that she spared it from a life of under an abusive owner? I literally have no idea wtf you’re trying to say and I’m trying to give you the benefit of the doubt

jeffw OP ,
@jeffw@lemmy.world avatar

Just to be clear…. On a bird hunting trip, the dog killed some birds… the wrong birds, but still birds. And that’s a reason to murder it?

Somehow I don’t think reading a Mother Jones article counts as giving her any clicks

I wouldn’t call educating people about how terrible she is “free advertising”. If you ignore this shit, they’ll keep electing her

Clearwater property owners sell $58M real estate portfolio to Church of Scientology parishioner (www.fox13news.com)

They were one of the last major property owners in downtown Clearwater that didn’t have ties to the Church of Scientology, but last month they sold more than $58 million in real estate to a developer with ties to the church....

And here I thought Scientology already owned everything in Clearwater

The top five brands globally were The Coca-Cola Company (11%), PepsiCo (5%), Nestlé (3%), Danone (3%), and Altria (2%), accounting for 24% of the total branded count

I would’ve expected a slightly different order, but those companies also control about 24% of the food we buy, so… not surprising.

jeffw ,
@jeffw@lemmy.world avatar

PepsiCo is bigger than Coke, for one

jeffw ,
@jeffw@lemmy.world avatar

Sure, but some of that food is in plastic containers. Pepsi owns a shit ton of brands. By revenue, they are twice as big as Coke

jeffw ,
@jeffw@lemmy.world avatar

Did you read the article? It’s not about who made the plastic containers at all, it’s about which company made the product that they contain.

I think it’s probably a combination of reasons that vary person to person. I think you captured the big ones, like putting the person on a pedestal and having low self esteem. People are afraid of failure in general, since failing kinda sucks.

Online dating, but we met in 2016 and I heard stuff has gone downhill since.

Just under half of the people I dated seriously (eg: not a hookup) as an adult, I met online.

jeffw ,
@jeffw@lemmy.world avatar

I actually don’t think I ever had a hookup from a website. Seems a little weird to just go and have sex with someone from an online posts.

It wasn’t good enough to get downvoted for posting this on !politics a few days back, it had to be done again!

jeffw ,
@jeffw@lemmy.world avatar

That would be great, then I wouldn’t need to post 10 articles a day here and I wouldn’t have to always sort by new.

jeffw ,
@jeffw@lemmy.world avatar

Just the same as they always have. But they don’t do election polling if that’s what you mean

    It decreases with income, as I said. If we give $2,000 to everyone making under $60k, for example, then decrease it for every few bucks you make. You’d probably have to do something like a 10:1 ratio where is you make $60,010, you’d get $1999 and so on. That would mean people making $80k or more don’t get anything. And they don’t really need it anyway.

    But regardless, UBI, even under Yang, is always an attempt to destroy and replace our current welfare system. Poor people would barely get any more than they currently do under SSI

    jeffw , (edited )
    @jeffw@lemmy.world avatar

    Except that was Yang’s plan. That’s how it works when it’s been attempted at a federal level. Not to mention that’s the only way it would pass. It’s not BS when that’s literally how it’s been proposed in US law. Some proposals even remove SNAP along with SSI.

    There is no assumption being made here.

    Edit: here’s an excellent explanation of why it won’t work: rebelnews.ie/…/universal-basic-income-socialist-c…

    jeffw , (edited )
    @jeffw@lemmy.world avatar

    Ok, the alternative is removing SSI, which is always how it’s been presented in the USA. People always get excited and never read the full language in proposals.

    Here’s a great article on why it won’t work: rebelnews.ie/…/universal-basic-income-socialist-c…

    Yup… I was honestly confused when I first saw the headline

    2 wrongs don’t make a right. Not sure if you’re trying to make Russia look good or something but neither country’s behavior is excusable
