Regarding tired driving chat: I do not drive. I have narcolepsy. My not driving is from before the narcolepsy diagnosis, but now that I have it, it pretty much stopped all of the little "maybe I should get a licence and cheap car anyhow" thoughts I used to have entirely. It's simply not safe. I will say that my sister mentioned to a neurologist once that she had a brother with narcolepsy who didn't drive, and he said "that makes sense. Other vehicles have a tendency to seemingly just appear for them, which can be scary." And that IS at least part of what always stopped me. The ability to track information and react to it is dramatically different when tired, which I can be, at any time, for no loving reason. But people will regularly and deliberately put themselves into a similar state, and it's fine. Hell, it's treated as virtuous to power through. Nose to the grindstone and all that. Working yourself to exhaustion and then endangering yourself and others for the privilege to continue working yourself to exhaustion is not a virtue. What is actually insane is that vehicular operation is both one of the most common job fields in the country and also one almost synonymous with long hours and poor rest.

But what am I going to do in upstate NY when I know I have a steady paycheck, can keep my kid isolated from the meth addicted wasteland of my hometown, and make sure my wife's million dollar healthcare needs are met? I'm going to drive 2.5 hours a day, balls tired. If I had a choice, I wouldn't. Just like any sane person if they had the option.

The FCC is finally, finally, preparing to restore net neutrality, by voting to do so on April 25. The policy was enacted by the Obama FCC, repealed by the Trump FCC, and its return was extensively delayed by Biden's travails while attempting to fill the vacant commission seats.quote:FCC Chair Jessica Rosenworcel confirmed the planned commission vote in an interview with Reuters. Net neutrality is the principle that all internet traffic should be handled equally, and not interfered with or given preferential treatment based on its origin or content. In practice a lack of net neutrality leads to things like Netflix getting better performance over cellular networks than competing video streamers, or Comcast not counting Peacock usage against your bandwidth cap.

The FCC has taken several steps against spam calls but since spammers are generally scumbags they're probably not going to be able to get it down to zero while it's still possible to receive calls from previously uncontacted numbers at all

I had one at 7:30 am local time the other day. Most of my spam calls are from dirtbag real estate people trying to low-ball me for property I don't even own. The disadvantage to having a real old number I guess is that once your number is out there, nothing's going to stop anyone from calling you.

https://www.politico.com/news/2024/04/03/biden-israel-strike-aid-workers-gaza-00150356 It's amazing how much Biden is willing to throw America under the bus to prop up Israel. He's real mad though! (in private): quote:President Joe Biden was privately enraged by the deadly strike and in a public statement upbraided Israel for it, calling for “accountability” to those responsible and demanding more humanitarian assistance be allowed into Gaza. But two senior administration officials said that is as far as he and the White House will go for now.

The very progressive candidate won my district for county board but there were some real fuckin' freaks that won in other places so I have mixed feelings. There was one candidate that looks like The Smiler from Transmetropolitan that got bodied so I feel good about that too at least.

RealityWarCriminal posted:Apologies if this is off topic but are you working for the Biden campaign this year? never did paid work for em in the last general, which would make it much easier to free up time I don't expect to have a whole lot of volunteer hours free for politics this time around but I'll probably do a few hours text banking here and there after the nomination. Our Senate challenger in Texas has worse opinions than Biden and doesn't feel especially more exciting, so upticket it is unless I'm missing someone cool for a state office or House Rep. Which is possible. If Gutierrez had gotten the senate nomination I'd be enthusiastically volunteering for him. Alas. I feel like I did have some success swaying our delegates to the state convention toward good opinions. We'll see how that goes though.

https://x.com/albamonica/status/1775608885207818519?s=46quote:Ahmad, the doctor who left the meeting, said he plans to go back to Gaza soon and is “legitimately concerned that I may be killed in the process.” That’s pretty harrowing. There’s something so heartless about seeing pictures of malnourished kids and women and saying that you’ve seen them before even though they’re new pictures taken by that doctor themselves. And even with seeing all of that and hearing their concerns, Biden still won’t support a permanent ceasefire

Netanyahu more or less openly supported Trump during the 2020 election. I wonder if that will hold in 2024, given Biden's near-total support for Israel's genocide campaign.

I don't know who is currently advising Biden on I/P policy, but I find it completely insane that he is essentially hurting his own re-election and supporting this very right wing Israeli government full-stop, no matter what they do regarding Gaza. He was smart enough to realize that Afghanistan was a disaster and that we needed to get out, but constant headlines of children starving to death in Gaza because of US policy/support is apparently OK.

He's a bloodthirsty Zionist. He knows he's old as gently caress with one foot in the grave, so why not use his remaining time to help Israel eradicate Palestine as he's always dreamed of? His legacy will be as the war criminal Genocide Joe, and he's glad of it. He clearly doesn't give a single gently caress about America or the rest of the world either if he's willing to let Trump get reelected and watch it all burn.

A good and useful question (well, I disagree with some of your implied premises herel but can we please put a hold on this topic - the israeli invasion, including electoral implications - until Koos gets back to it? It's clearly absorbing 90% of the thread's attention, again, and not improving posting quality, again. I gave him a jingle. To be the change I want to see, this looks like kinda a big deal that slid under the radar because it's federal rulemaking: https://www.post-gazette.com/news/t...es/202404020056 significant alterations to train staffing and labor requirements related to both that one big derail and the general state of the industry. See also the union negotiations a bit ago. quote:OGINREGISTER

I'm confused, didn't Koos already say that the Israel discussion in this thread (ie: how it relates to Biden and the US) was fine despite the current situation with the I/P thread?

They are flying to Israel to meet with Mr. Netanyahu, planning to invite him to address Congress and generally urging Israel to do whatever it takes, for as long as it takes, to annihilate Hamas.

FlamingLiberal posted:There may be Israeli elections again in September because the people there are pissed at Bibi for many reasons. Things are about to escalate between the the US and Israel. Sooooo normally when PREPOs or other military supply / logistics vessels get deployed they turn off the AIS. If one searches for them one gets no information or a false destination (NUNYA) and no track. That is not currently the case for the vessels announced to be getting ready to deploy JLOTS. They are letting everyone watch. The first army vessel is currently enroute and off the coast of North Africa.  The two navy PREPOs vessels are the real meat and potatoes of the thing in my opinion. Currently the Lopez is enroute having departed Blount Island. Hey there is a NUNYA, but they didn’t turn off the track.  The Bobo is the other one and it’s currently loading at Blount Island.  I don’t think the World Central Kitchen thing was an accident. I think it’s an explicit threat. Within the next month that temporary pier is going to be up and running. Whatever is going to happen is going to happen in the next 30 days (and to me they’re keeping up with the 60 day goal announced March 1). They’re either going to be feeding everyone in Gaza or Israel is going to do something unprecedented. The news at the end of the month is going to be wild. This is all public right now fwiw y’all can watch on whatever public AIS service you prefer.

This is already in not loving around extremely serious land. If they’re going to shrug they wouldn’t send these vessels. Unless you see those ships turn around they’re going to force the issue.
