‘We’ll See You at Your House:’ How Fear and Menace Are Transforming Politics ( www.nytimes.com )

There is little research on the political views of those behind the onslaught of abuse. Some surveys show that Republican officeholders are more likely to report being targeted, often from members of their own party. Research does show, however, that recent acts of political violence are more likely to be carried out by...

The bot appears to have failed to parse most of the article.

Almost all of the local press in swing states failed to cover Trump's corrupt offer to oil executives.

The problem isn't "people think something else is important" — it's mostly that nobody hears about the big issue in the first place because the press is covering other issues.

silence7 OP ,

It not one or the other — there's a relationship between the lack of coverage, and people not being concerned.

silence7 OP ,

Tell the world how much of a hack she is, and create an environment where she experiences social pressure.

silence7 OP ,

She's has a much longer life expectancy than Trump. Break what she's doing into the circles she moves in, and that can change

silence7 OP ,

Yes. For context, Texas gladly executed a guy for arson in a situation where scientific developments since his trial made it very clear that the evidence didn't really show that arson had happened in the first place

silence7 OP ,

My gut is the timing doesn't matter much, but I'm not in the jury box.

silence7 OP ,

Yes, you have a reasonably accurate description of the problem. It is possible to buy some years of additional use of some areas (eg: parts of Miami) using pumps to move water back out.

silence7 OP ,

No, there isn't a prominent Democrat named Смирна.

Manchin isn't somebody who had an epimistological epiphany; he's somebody who is bought off by the fossil fuels industry and working in his personal financial interest.

silence7 OP ,

The article is about a small number of congressmembers with speech and hearing disabilities.

silence7 OP ,

Three, on different servers — one for climate, one for a general news reach, and one which is just New York Times gift articles

silence7 OP ,

They're ditching inland areas too, for different climate-related reasons.

silence7 OP ,

This implies an end to mortgages (or sharply higher interest rates) and a huge drop in real estate prices.

It's only a 'quid pro quo' if a Democrat does it. That gets you arrested real quick

That's the big environmental issue with Bitcoin — other major cryptocurrencies have moved to proof-of-stake instead of proof-of-work, so they don't need vast quantities of energy, and when you stop using all that energy, the generators with the highest marginal cost shut down, which generally means coal or gas.

silence7 OP ,

Bitcoin essentially has the same thing though — it's just that the "staked class" is those who have built power-devouring ASIC facilities to compute lots of hashes. Get enough of them together, and you can roll back transactions via a Sybil attack, just as you can with organized action by stakeholders in a proof-of-stake cryptocurrency.

There are two different things:

  • the morning-after pill, which delays ovulation.
  • Medications which induce miscarriage, which are used, to say, treat an ectopic pregnancy or otherwise terminate a pregnancy which has already started.

This is a ban on the latter.

silence7 OP ,

You're confusing two different things. The morning-after pill works the way you describe. The combination of mifepristone and misoprostol does not — it can be used until 70 days after the last period.

silence7 OP ,

They already did.

silence7 OP ,

They're not useless, but they have an error that can be several points larger than the given margin of error. What this is telling is is that it's a close election. And that's a big deal

silence7 OP ,

A lot of polls have been putting RFK Jr at 10+ percent. There are a ton of low-information voters who see the name and not much else

silence7 OP ,

It's really hard to support somebody like Kennedy when you know his actual positions, and that they're driven by the fact that a worm ate part of his brain

silence7 OP ,

I'm listening — and when you talk to people, a lot of them don't know.

silence7 OP ,

He's on the ballot in WI and NV, which is enough that he has the potential to serve as a spoiler

silence7 OP , (edited )

This is a more meaningful critique — the poll is surely real, but that doesn't mean Biden is going to experience some sort of guaranteed loss.
