Anti-feminist propaganda is a real thing. As a guy I like to think I’m fairly progressive but believed a lot of the hate against feminism even as an adult. The women I knew were “the good ones”.

The thing is it was based on caricatures of feminism, outliers and extremists, and the claim that feminism is no longer necessary. I’m sure those extremists exists and we are closer to gender equality than historically but feminism has helped us all and we do need more of it.

We had children before there was any paternity leave in the US. I must have been complaining that I wished I could spend more time with my newborn, but it was the feminist group at work who went to demand there be paternity leave, because equal is equal and paternity leave helps everyone

For anyone else interested, here’s a more complete list

I long for those days, but live in a place where electric prices have been high for a while.

A couple months ago I got a heat pump installed but was unable to get solar before the incentives are gone. The heat pump functions down to any temperature but the cost threshold is like 45°F …… and it’s currently 8°F outside. Unless they let us build a lot more solar and wind we’ll never be able to transition to cleaner appliances

Perhaps they can invest in additional power transmission and clean generation.

Never thought I’d say this but for my area apparently it’s the Jones’s Act. Here in New England as we shut down coal and nuclear we were never able to get natural gas pipelines. Now that there are better options our attempts to build power distribution lines keep getting blocked. Our offshore wind farms keep getting blocked. We’re stuck on natural gas but without a pipeline we’re stuck importing LNG by ship and because of the Jones Act and there being no American built LNG ships, the only choice is importing from other countries

Let us build our wind farms. Help coordinate with other states so we can build long distance power lines to our buddies in Ontario

The datacenter bubble is a Republican chance to platform energy independence, cheap and available energy. Build more businesses, help the economy …. Let’s create solar and wind incentives to speed that up and let’s go gangbusters on power distribution to make America great.

Forget these natural gas turbines on a five year back order. Are they made in American? I didn’t think so. Time to go gangbuster on solar where most of the cost is local labor

Ha, I was also going to write “whinging” but I didn’t want to do any “cultural appropriation “. I never heard that word until I started working with some Brits but it’s an excellent one we should all adopt

Maybe that’s the real reason for the focus on tariffs. People don’t understand it and don’t see it directly: it’s easier to lie about

Of the boomers I know

• one neighbor was a spiteful asshole, the other not
• my ex’s father is a fairly liberal vet
• my exs mother is not just liberal but is still at her age motivated by how much she can help people working at social services
• my mom is the most liberal in our family and frequently argues with my conservative brother

And boomers are NOT all the same

Google search tells me 48% Democrat, 46% Republican and the remaining undecided

That was one of my objections to replacing kitchen appliances for all too long. I’m not even going to consider all the same brand. But they’ve added enough “styling elements” that it’s tougher to fill a kitchen with similar appliances from different manufacturers

The problem is it’s not really people’s choice. Companies have gotten very good at disguising quality tradoffs and marketing has got very good at muddying the waters.

Since this is about tools, I’ll bring up Craftsman as an example. For many years, it was a quality brand accessible to homeowners. But as they changed to be cheaper they still marketed themselves as a quality brand and they seemed like the same price. It was only after the brand value was destroyed, that it became clear how “cheap” the tools had become and people were able to make a legitimate decision to move on

I hope so. It seems like she deserves at least that for the way they acted. If nothing else works to restore law, justice, morality, maybe enough large judgements will hurt their budgets enough to change things

Especially not true if the second strike. It’s such a farce to claim “they’re still trafficking” when it is just a few survivors out in the ocean clinging to the wreckage

If they want people to believe them, they need to share a sanitized version of their intel, and send a cutter over to pull heroin out of the water. Go through the effort of identifying the victims and justify that they were indeed cartel members

I realize all of that can be faked too, and I’m not sure I trust this administration even if they showed ”evidence”, but at least it would be an attempt to justify murder

While I go through logic like this, it all comes down to trust. This administration has not offered any evidence that they are actuating affecting heroin trafficking nor are they allowing due process. It’s straight up murder without due process or evidence. We only have their public claim and their rhetoric has too much history of flat out lying, too much history of complete disregard for human life.

Interesting news but why is this @politics?

Am I the only guy be who thinks this is somewhat wholesome, despite the tragedy? No one is stoking outrage, no one is casting blame, it casts the teachers in a heroic light, and it even looks like they were correctly prepared. They had and used bear spray, they stayed in a group, defended their charges: that seems like about the best you can do and sometimes it’s not enough.

Even just that this is a natural tragedy. Man’s best efforts will never overcome what nature can do: but it’s so nice that it didn’t start “rogue gunman opened fire at a school….”

I’m not trying to make light of the tragedy; they have my sympathy, but it’s “only” the tragedy

Edit: downvoting for the horrible source. I turned off reader mode and there were so many layers of so many ads that I could no longer find the article

6-7 miles walk, that’s a few hours

They have a World Cup coming up and not enough time to switch to a sane country. Fake trophy is a cheap bribe to keep that going

No kidding. All too often even clear looking articles seem to have important details missing

The key words I pick out are “in violation of lawful procedure”. I don’t like this choice either, but it looks like the city took a shortcut

Anyone can file suit. A judge needs to pass judgement. Hopefully the judge based it on something more legitimate than whining.
