Mildred is iffy but Millie is an adorable name.

The democratic party didn’t even universally support abortion rights not that long ago.

Never has your misinfo warning tag been funnier.

Also steel cans exist as well.

Libertarians of NH are famously stupid and terrible at everything though so I wouldn’t worry too much.

Well I was thinking more about the other ones.

I assume the proportions of people who spoof their OS is slanted towards Linux

Huh, I figured it was to protect the throat since we don’t have fur.

Well, this is the weirdest shit I’ve ever read.

Y’know, some of these are built so the bottom doesn’t rip off at all.

Ah yes, my country also has serious problems and therefore it is not only relevant but equivalent.

Or unless you have a weird roll holder that is super prone to overfeeding.

That site gets used for academic analysis of media bias and has been shown to agree near perfectly with other third party media bias ratings. It would be nice to have a “nationalist” bias ratings as well included but I suspect it would be an unbelievable amount of work and nearly impossible to make balanced beyond their press freedom ranking and overall bias reports. And it’s not agonizingly difficult to read primary news sources and competing perspectives while sticking to sources that have a reputation they care about protecting regarding vetting sources and publishing reasonably accurate news.

You however seem to be suggesting that media honesty is hopeless anyways so you may as well take blatant propaganda “news” sources with poor fact check ratings, from nations with deplorable press freedom as equal to any other. Which is an incredibly dangerous and frankly idiotic perspective to have.

The NYT is obviously biased towards western interests in key ways, the BBC and NPR are even government funded news agencies. They are not in any way equivalent to RT or SCMP let alone the Global Times. There is a level of press freedom, academic freedom, transparency, and freedom to criticize that is completely incomparable.

TLDR: Fuck off tankies, authoritarianism is not welcome in lefty circles as long as I have something to say about it.

If only there were a way to get a sense for sources which maintain a reputation for truth

Uh, the PlayStation 2 would like a word?

This is an article from a CCP operated tabloid… Seriously?

Rather important for rain sensing windshield wipers to not immediately break

I literally use both of those yes

As one party loses power it changes strategy to regain it, as one party gains power it is able to differentiate more amongst different ideologies within the party. If this goes far enough it can cause one party to fade to obscurity and a new party to emerge. There is no perfect candidate who represents everyone perfectly, you pick the candidate that is closer to the place you’d like to be. Also, third party votes work much better bottom-up vs top-down. Statistically no amount of crazy upset will cause a third party to actually win the top position despite no groundwork being done. Support third party candidates in small races where small grassroots efforts not funded by major political action groups are actually likely to make a difference. Then when you get a good candidate, organize and vote to see them advance to higher positions. It is batshit lunacy to expect third party candidate votes to matter in a presidential election when we don’t even have a single third party state governor, zero third party national representatives and only 4 independent senators, none of whom even represent a third party, and none of whom are presidential candidates this election (let alone viable ones). Campaign for and support third party mayors, city councillors, comptrollers, sheriffs, union representatives. You have a very real shot with them and if enough people do that and enough of them move up to higher positions, then that party can start to swing some weight around at a higher and higher level.

Not even close to the most ridiculous things in books Texas had tried to ban.
