Until he does something, I don't see why there's any reason to do anything more than feel bad that his parents are terrible people. Donny Jr., Eric, Ivanka, and their spouses are all more than terrible enough people in their own right if you feel the need to yell at non-DJT Trumps.

Leon Trotsky 2012 posted:He is a possibly autistic teen boy who isn't involved in his dad's business or politics. Unless he starts giving interviews or becomes CEO of his dad's company, then it is probably fine to leave him alone. He's acting as a delegate to nominate his father at a political convention. He's 18 and he graduated from a prestigious boarding school. I don't care if he's autistic, he's now an official member of the Trump crime family. Diagnosing people as autistic because of hearsay and pictures is moronic.

Becoming a Republican delegate is "doing something" and he's officially getting into the family's political business.

In shocking and unexpected news, the Neuralink project that killed dozens of monkeys has experienced a problem in the first human test subject serious enough that they considered surgery to remove the device. The company says there is no direct danger to the patient right now, but parts of the device have detached from his brain and several of the extremely tiny neural link fibers have become loose in his skull cavity. CNBC has the understatement of the year as the final (bolded) sentence in the story. quote:

He said the main way that the woman he was paying for sex reminded him of his daughter was that they are both "smart and underestimated." Trump's love of porn stars and his daughter isn't just skin deep.

Civilized Fishbot posted:I am pretty sure they're directly describing the poll results I shared. Thanks, but as you originally pointed out the Pew survey said: quote:This issue is challenging for many people – both emotionally and in terms of understanding the specifics of the war. Many Americans are also disengaged: Relatively few (22%) say they are closely following news about the war, and half can correctly report that more Palestinians than Israelis have died since the war’s start. And that differs from Leon's claim, which was: quote:A majority of Americans say they have paid no attention to the war at all and can't even tell you which side has had more casualties - despite the war and casualty numbers being blared on the news non-stop for 6 months. Looking at the original survey:  I would add that this survey was taken 2.5 months ago, from Feb. 13-25, and that sentiment about Israel's action has been quite fluid since Oct. 7, which is particularly why I asked for a recent survey.

When it comes to paying attention to the war, the same survey found:quote:Most people are not paying close attention to the Israel-Hamas war. The survey finds that 22% of U.S. adults say they have been following news about the war extremely or very closely, while 35% say they are following it somewhat closely, and 43% are following not too or not at all closely.

Willa Rogers posted:When it comes to paying attention to the war, the same survey found: I think if a pollster asks "how much you been paying attention to this war" it's like when your dentist asks how often you floss - people give what could charitably called highly exaggerated answers because they want to look like responsible people. Pw was really smart to ask questions about the war. Anyone who'd been following the war to any significant degree would immediately be able to tell you that far, far more Palestinians had died than Israelis. The fact that 48% of people couldn't answer that question correctly means that at least 48% weren't following the war at any meaningful level, at least at the time of polling. Hopefully the protests are moving that, but I worry that media focuses exclusively on the protests themselves and not the horror the protests are pointing at. I think ideally the poll would include less questions about how much people care/have been following, and more of these "quiz" questions. Maybe increasing in difficulty/obscurity, so if you get the relative-casualties question correct, they then ask if you know whether Palestinian casualties are mostly military or mostly civilian, if you know whether Palestinians have the option to leave Gaza, if you know where the IDF next intends to strike... But in a world where poll responsiveness is already low, I think it would exacerbate the problem because people prefer to be asked their opinions over being quizzed.

https://twitter.com/piper4missouri/status/1788608552195539180 Has anyone ever done a full accounting of the number of Republican elected officials and party operatives that have been convicted of sex crimes against minors? Maybe it's just whatever bias, but I can't recall a single non-conservative politician who's been arrested for child molestation or CSAM.

To give the recalcitrant Missouri Republicans the tiniest possible amount of credit, the current state of child marriage in Missouri is "16 and 17 year olds can marry someone 16-20 with parental consent". It's only a little pedophilic.

IIRC something like 40+ states allow child marriage although the number is going down every year nowadays. I remember when I used to live in NJ and that disgusting gently caress Christie vetoed it. Was wild to see him as a regular on ABC afterwards as if he was a normal dude.

Morrow posted:She stopped by a gravel pit in a construction site on the way home, clearly intending to just dispose of the dog and leave the workers to clean it up after her. She then came back with a goat intending to do the same thing, failed to cleanly kill the goat, and ultimately got chased off by the construction workers. For me the weirdest part of the story that is largely ignored is definitely the part where she’s like “hmm… what else have I been meaning to kill?” like someone running down a list of chores.

Both of them have easy-to-exploit hardware vulnerabilities and instructions for stealing them are circulating on Tiktok. Basically, if you rip out certain externally accessible parts you can get access to their CAN bus, which is just a simple computer network. You can then hack the computers on that network, such as the ones responsible for unlocking the doors and starting the engine

The University of California reached an agreement with the pro-Palestinian protestors to dismantle the encampment on campus in exchange for a list of demands. I'm wondering if the protestors originally started as a sympathy protest without any demands because the list they agreed to seems very strange. The concessions they agreed to are: - All info on the deal will be posted publicly on the school website. - Create a task force to study if the university endowment is invested in any arms companies and present it to the board by December 2025. - Commit to bimonthly meetings with a student group to discuss removing Sabra hummus from the cafeteria. - The business school will discontinue study abroad programs in England, Cuba, Vietnam, Brazil, China, Egypt, Jordan, and Israel. - The school will review their anti-discrimination policy for study abroad trips. https://insideucr.ucr.edu/announcements/2024/05/03/agreement-peacefully-end-encampment-campus

The university FAQ had a vague description about the discussions revealing that a bunch of study abroad violated some university guidelines. Probably some combo of the activists pushing for Israel study abroad to be banned under a university rule that had been ignored for a bunch of places for a while and/or the university taking the time to audit a bunch of study abroad when someone made them look at it and realizing there was some sort of wide-spread issue.

Leon Trotsky 2012 posted:The University of California reached an agreement with the pro-Palestinian protestors to dismantle the encampment on campus in exchange for a list of demands. What's strange about it? Sabra is owned by an Israeli company. And while it's not immediately obvious what the study abroad stuff is about, the fact that "ending these study abroad programs" is immediately followed by "making sure future study abroad programs comply with anti-discrimination rules" tells enough of a story that it's possible to guess at the rest. It's likely some local campus issue that's never made national news. One correction here, though. This agreement is not with University of California. It's with University of California Riverside, just one of the University of California's ten campuses. The rest of the University of California schools aren't involved.

Main Paineframe posted:What's strange about it? Sabra is owned by an Israeli company. The study abroad choices seem random, Sabra is owned by Frito-Lay (which is a subsidiary of PepsiCo) and produced in Virginia, their campus doesn't control the university endowment and can't actually make changes to it, and the commitment to bimonthly meetings to talk about Sabra until it is resolved is strange. How much are they expecting to talk about hummus that they need commitments for bimonthly meetings? And why is Sabra the only company cited instead of any that actually make things in Israel or are owned 100% by an Israeli company?

According to the Washington Post, Trump allegedly called in all the CEOs of big oil companies and offered them "a deal" to give him $1 billion dollars in exchange for reversing all of the Biden administration's new regulations on oil production, dramatically reducing taxes on oil companies, and end the ban on drilling in the gulf of Mexico and natural gas exports on "the first day" of his presidency. They said they had spent $400 million lobbying the Biden administration, but were getting minimal results. Trump said to stop spending the money on lobbying and to directly fund a Super PAC for him instead as an investment that they would more than make their money back from. https://twitter.com/byHeatherLong/status/1788582607086579771 quote:What Trump promised oil CEOs as he asked them to steer $1 billion to his campaign Leon Trotsky 2012 fucked around with this message at 01:12 on May 10, 2024 |
