It sounds to me, that the issue is less with people reading, the article mentions that people do read, and more to do with a lack of critical thought about what is being read.

Tbh unless the source is Reuters or APnews, I do tend to look at the comments for a factual summary of the article.

I just want the facts, not some websites shifty analysis interlaced with loaded language.

But what about if Mercury is in retrograde?

It's like the crime version of Buy, Borrow, Die.

Eustice, who served 26 years in the Minnesota National Guard, noted that young adults were the military's prime target for new recruits—currently Generation Z, or those born after 1997—and argued that growing up in the internet age had made them used to "immediate gratification."

Oh look, another out of touch boomer. ItS tHoSe DaMn CeLlPhOnEs! Gen Z grew up watching America get involved in, then stay involved in, a deeply unpopular war. Gen Z grew up in an age where you can fact check someone on the spot and it makes it that much harder for recruiters to lie. They grew up in an age where half of the government is trying to drag the country backwards by any means.

I am in the military. I overheard my leadership talking with a woman who wanted to get out. When they asked her why she said it was because of the Roe V Wade decision. "Why would I fight for a country that won't fight for me?" I don't blame her.

There are no moral absolutes, no foundational beliefs, no core values at the heart of Conservative ideology.

I disagree and you kinda touch on it later in the post:

If you view the world through this lens, any fight, any political topic, whatever it is you want, you are righteous.

That is the core value. It's absolutism. They are good people therefore whatever they do is good. Or at least not bad. Abortions are bad, but if they get one, like you said, it's out of necessity. Not because they wanted to. Not like the degenerate left, who does it for fun on a whim.

That was my favorite part of his presidency.

Guarantee he thinks everyone laughed because he had such a great response to the question it made the prosecution look dumb.

You know what? I was wrong. I mistook "The Inquirer" A Philadelphia based newspaper with "The National Enquirer" a tabloid rag that isn't worth the paper it's printed on. My bad.

I'm sure it's accurate and all, but it will be a cold day in hell when I click on an Inquirer link.

Edit: Nevermind. I mistook The Inquirer for the much less reputable The National Enquirer.

What a wonderful website. All it needs is flames.gif and a link to a page that has little barricades on it that says "Under construction"

I blame my love of high fantasy on the Xanth series. First it was Xanth, then it was Redwall, now it's my preferred form of escapism.

A pass key is the private key in a private/public key pair. The private key is stored in the TPM on your device. The website contains the public key. When you use your "one password" you're in effect giving your device permission to access the key storage in your TPM to fetch the private key to present it to the site.

What this means in practice is that if a website has a data breach they won't have your hashed password, only your public key which... is public. It doesn't and can't do anything on its own. It needs the private key, which again only you have and the website doesn't store, to do anything at all.

If you want to read more about it look into cryptographic key pairs. Pretty neat how they work.

To give you an actual resource: The Baby Decision by Merle Bombardieri. She's a social worker and therapist that specializes in this exact issue.

The book is fantastic. It guides you through thought exercises and different considerations about having kids. I want to stress that she does not try to convince you to have a kid. She just helps you make an informed decision.

Just hazarding a guess as to what it means, I have done no research. The 14th Ammendment disqualifies for insurrection. So there needs to be specific intent for it to be an insurrection and not just a riot. Kinda like without intent first degree murder is only manslaughter

Tankies gonna tank.

It's a yes or no question. Either it is vegan and why or it is not vegan and why. You gave a third answer for a question that wasn't asked.

Relax. It's just a thought experiment.

I liketo think my take on the conflict is pretty nuanced. Generally, I don't like the State of Isreal.

Let me be crystal clear with what I just wrote: I believe the government of Isreal has fostered a culture of dehumanizing Palestinians and is complicit in crimes against humanity. This is apparent with its history of stealing land and extra-judicial killings of Palestinian civilians by the IDF. The people of Israel deserve so much better.

This sentiment also largely applies to Palestine. The Hamas Government triggered this conflict by striking at civilians in Israel. I understand that their primary driving ideology is to kill jews and I think that is fucked up. I also understand that after years of the afore mentioned land grabbing and killings it has led to these extreme attacks by Hamas. It really feels like a chicken and egg situation, which started first. Either way the people of Palestine deserve so much better.

I am more than capable of assigning blame to the appropriate places and lament the affects it has on the victims of violence.

Ohh what a fun argument! Is this comment referring to Palestine or Isreal???
