Completely agree. He also just seems like a better candidate vibe wise so far, he's funny and endearing in a way Kamala is not. Although I do vibe with Kamala's dorky/weird moments that so many seem to criticize.
My point is that society perceives her as a black women. Saying shit like "there are no black people" is moronic in a society that values and scrutinizes race as much as ours does.
I'd argue Walz bucks this trend, at least to a certain degree. His progressive policy and seemingly unwavering integrity seems to be a huge reason he was picked. They've leaned into his achievements and republicans are desperately grasping at straws trying to criticize him.
Missing the forest for the trees or whatever. It's not about skin colour but how society perceives and treats you. If Kamala isn't black then why is she being called a DEI hire when Hilary Clinton never was?
I have to cycle on the roads with cars every day. My favourite bar's patio is literally in the parking lane of a busy 4 lane thoroughfare. I will take cigarette smokers any day over the fumes and noise I have to deal with from cars.
We only deal with it because it's normalized and most people can't imagine a convenient alternative.
Some view him as an neoliberal and not in favour of progressive policy. He worked as an analyst for a company while they were contracted by a Canadian grocery store that was fixing bread prices. Who knows what his involvement was but it's certainly a bad look.
I'm not informed enough to have a valid opinion but he does come off as someone who is very calculating and not sincere.
No shade but I could not take the premise of that book seriously. The idea that any complex system could be mapped thousands of years into the future is so incredibly unrealistic to me that I was unable to suspend my disbelief.
I'm a massive Dune fan though so I have no leg to stand on. Hold on a second while I re-calibrate my metabolism and use my genetic heritage to recall events that happened 30000 years ago.
It's not that surprising to me. Chaos theory is not well known/understood and we are accustomed to seeing weather reports from childhood, it's not odd to expect them to be accurate.
People associate scooters and mopeds with being on the road with cars. By calling it an ebike they are making it clear what use case they intend for the bike. Hence why the promo video shows it being used in bike lanes and a couple having fun near a waterfront, that's the type of stuff you do on a bike not a moped.
Depends on local laws I would assume. Where I live e-bikes are limited to 30km/h and must have pedals (although throttles are still allowed). Functionally yes you aren't pedaling but in terms of speed and weight it is closer to a bicycle than a motorcycle. If I ride an e-bike but only use the throttle does it cease to be an ebike?
Honestly as much as I hate dudes on fat bikes ripping past me in the bike lane I can't think of any good reasons not to encourage all forms of micromobility. The more people who use and rely on cycling infrastructure the better. If that means I have to share my bike lane with douchebags on fat bikes so be it.
Just to be clear, I have no issue with fat bikes themselves. But we all know the type of person I'm talking about.
Hockey players are another breed. Not agreeing with his decision but also not that surprised.
Also, "sets exactly a good precedent"? I don't see why this man should be expected to make personal/medical decisions based on "setting a good precedent".
Fox news anchors are genuinely fucking insane, the clips I've seen in the past week are enough evidence of that.
But this man almost certainly said college not coloured. There is clearly no D sound at the end of the word. The lemmy users in this thread saying he 100% said coloured are out to fucking lunch and are adding to my recent desire to leave this website.
Can we have leftist debate without turning into rabid reactionaries please? jfc
