Encouraging assassinations of the current elected president and VP should really earn him the chance to see the inside of a jail cell. Even for a few days while they question him. I think that would be good for everyone involved.

Even the most skilled money saver in the world, when their income is barely above their necessary life expenses, will fail to save much. Savings is a luxury only the rich can afford much of.

But you're right, putting money into the hands of people living paycheck to paycheck, or barely able to save is great for the economy as well as those people personally. Even if they save 10% and spend 90%, it's tremendously more beneficial than that money going to a wealthy multimillionaire who won't even notice saving it. For everyone except the multimillionaire, who really isn't negatively impacted.

I don't think it's being used as "lie" here, so much as "and I'm not just saying that, I really mean it". Rhetoric being used like speech in the sense that it's something that can be true or false vs something necessarily false

Imagine the headline of that though: Biden funds militant Republican group in Ireland

Yeah don't listen to Dave Ramsey. I remember hearing him speak on TV as a kid and something just felt off about him, but not quite as bad as Suze Orman.

I don't think he's a scammer, and some of the stuff he says is perfectly sensible and useful, but he (a boomer) also gives advice that isn't how he got rich, to millennials and co, who will never ever get rich following it. Structurally that makes him pretty out of touch, and suggests anyone who listens to him should do so critically.

That's putting aside that he's also kind of just telling people to do capitalism harder, and everything that comes with that.

You think JD Vance is the kind of guy who would do something that brings pleasure to neither him, nor the couch?

The 3% is a reason to be skeptical, but doesn't necessarily refute the 99% claim. A person can be a Native American, part of their community, and have a grandparent who was an immigrant. 2/3 of them at minimum would need to have a similar situation at minimum, but it's less than the percent who live outside reservations (78%) so it doesn't seem totally far-fetched. It seems high though to be sure

Et tu, Pence?

That's true, bigots will always offer a road deeper into their beliefs, and you can't stop them. But I think here the road out is a bit more visible than usual. It feels like a seed of doubt could be planted in some heads, which is something.

All because the school was afraid of some trans girl, who statistically speaking, probably wasn't even one of their best players. The school's transphobia did presumably hurt the trans student they targeted, but I'm guessing they hurt a lot more cis female athletes, on their own team especially. I hope any of those students who may have been transphobic see how it hurt them more than the trans student, and it gets them thinking...

Trump bucks are so 2023, they should start accepting Trump Steaks futures contracts and other derivatives

Dedicated hardware still has benefits, having your phone notifications separate from gaming, if your phone breaks having your console break would suck, and imo a touchscreen will never surpass physical buttons on controllers so you'd still want those.

I personally hope the future looks more like a steam deck than a gaming phone.
