Biden’s debate performance sets off alarm bells for Democrats
  • He said he would in exactly those words.

    Don't use Jan 6th

    explain why you think he's authoritarian, but don't talk about that time he instigated a failed fascist coup

    I'll admit, if you move the goalposts like that it gets a lot harder to score.

  • Biden’s debate performance sets off alarm bells for Democrats
  • Thankfully, he doesn't actually need to win the majority vote (look up the electoral college if you're curious/horrified), unfortunately that fact mostly benefits Trump.

    It may already be too late to replace him. It would definitely be risky. And it's not gonna happen unless Biden himself says so. If he runs against whoever the DNC were to pick to run against him or would guarantee a Trump win.

  • Oh Joe...
  • The candidates are selected in a primary election, but since Biden is incumbent he got all the support from the Democratic establishment. As a result the only people running against him was a clown car of freaks and weirdos who never had a shot to begin with.

    The opportunity to kick Biden out already passed 4 years ago. Thankfully he can't get a third term, and I expect he'll be something of a pariah if he loses to Trump so we won't see him running again in 4 years one way or another. But that's in 4 years anyway. These next few months are gonna be rocky.

  • which one do you prefer? having kids or no kids? and why??
  • There would have to be some dramatic changes in the world socially and politically before I'll feel even remotely comfortable having kids. Also my finances would need to change.

    And my family also has some genetic issues I'd rather not pass on.

    Adoption is an option, but I'm pretty sure I don't even want one in the first place. When I was younger I thought having kids seemed like a sucker's game. My opinion has softened on that a bit, but it's still difficult to imagine actually wanting children.

  • Why Americans aren’t buying more EVs
  • An enormous percentage, especially in the current housing market, however...

    Many (most?) American cities have wildly inadequate public transit and are prone to sprawl. Many Americans live in apartments, but are a multiple mile walk from their grocery store. If there's any public transit at all it's probably an infrequent and unreliable bus line that may not go anywhere near their home to begin with. They live in apartments, but are not anywhere near 'downtown'.

    These are problems that need to be solved, and quickly, but public transit is best grown with a city, which didn't happen. Inserting a subway after the fact is difficult, expensive, and slow.

    The reality of right-now (which is all a renter is likely to be able to consider financially) is that a reliable car is an essential item in most parts of the country.

  • Cost by Protein Source
  • I assume this chart is intended for people making an effort to eat as much protein as possible for as cheap as possible, I.e. bodybuilders, powerlifters, and the like. In that case you would want to avoid vegetables because of their low protein regardless of how much they actually cost, so the cost per gram of protein is actually more useful.

    In fairness I may be reading too much into it; nothing about the chart actually specifies who it's for.

  • What would happen to your body if you only ate 750g of 2% cottage cheese every day for a month?
  • You'll probably get really sick of cottage cheese, for one. You'll also lose a lot of weight. In fact you'd be malnourished. Its only about 700-800 calories a day, which is far too few for almost anyone. The weight you lose won't just be body fat, you're body will start converting muscle tissue for energy. Thankfully this will be slightly mitigated by you're now quite high protein intake: 102g per day! Too bad you won't have energy to go to the gym on account of starving.

    Also I bet you'll get diarrhea.

    Don't do it, at least not for a full month. If you're gonna try it anyway then take multivitamins and drink a ton of water.

  • Study finds 1/4 of bosses hoped Return to Office would make staff quit
  • They're referring to the other 3/4 of managers & hr who responded that they didn't want employees to leave because of return to office policies.

    They, apparently, genuinely believed that rto would have some tangible benefits, or were just trying to make their employees lives harder for a laugh, and didn't expect it to affect headcount at all.
