My favorite game is running down the list of Republican "pillars" through the years: - Big Tent Party, everyone is welcome - Party of Limited Government - The Moral Majority - The Party of Personal Responsibility - The Law & Order Party

Cause and effect don't exist in your world, I'd say that's toddler-like but even they understand that so it's more infantile. I assume you believe Neville Chamberlain was a better prime minister than Winston Churchill.

"The Trump policy is clear: Israel will face no pressure from America to moderate its aggressive response.

His ambassador to Israel, David Friedman, is a hard-right pro-Israel advocate who once wrote that the two-state solution is “a suicidal ‘peace’"

You know Trump cares because he took money away from the Palestinians, the best way to ensure peace is to back people into a corner and make sure they aren't prosperous

Trump, agent of peace, rolling back State Department policies from 19 fucking 78. 🤣

"Mike Pompeo said on Monday his country will no longer abide by a 1978 State Department legal opinion that the settlements were “inconsistent with international law”."

Hahahaha yeah Trump had nothing to do with causing the issue in Palestine, when he emboldened the Israel government by formally moving the embassy to Jerusalem he was TOTALLY HELPING THE PEACE PROCESS.

Whatever quantity you want to place on Biden pales in comparison to Trump or any Republican.

on the very day the Supreme Court's conservatives said 'we know best' and put themselves in charge of complicated agency decisions one of the geniuses confused nitrous oxide and nitrogen oxide. So they had to have a do over. Not exactly an auspicious start.

I don't want some egghead bureaucrat telling me whether there's poison in the water I drink. Ideally I'd want that decided by a 29yo judge who went to a "biblical law school" and does not believe dinosaurs existed, and then to have that decision reaffirmed six years later by the Supreme Court.

The quote is coming from the co-founder of a research company (PerryUndem, they're quoting Tresa Undem), so I'm willing to take them at their word that the question was worded as quoted with those results. You'd need a margin of error of 20% to have those results not be concerning.

"in a poll in August 2020 whether it was true that “most women get their period on the first of the month,” 75 percent got the right answer — false — but a notable 21 percent said they were “not sure.”" It's definitely not 22% being pedantic.

If you define bullshit as "characterized not by an intent to deceive but instead by a reckless disregard for the truth" it becomes clear that LLMs are bullshit machines.

A reckless disregard for the truth is not a useful way to practice law.

These processes and connections aren't necessarily going to get you the job by itself (you still need to be qualified) but it'll get you further along in the interview process so that you get your chance to shine in person, instead of being eliminated early.

My current job I had so many people who were connected to the hiring manager in one way or another (6-8 total) that when he called me he said it was because he'd had so many people tell him he'd be crazy not to reach out.

The other advice I have is for people to not underestimate the power of their network or even a cold call to put in a good word. My first job, the head of my program asked if he called and put in a good word. When I got the job, they said it impressed them that he stuck his neck out for me.

It's like when you look up a recipe online and you have to scroll through a story, click on a button and close out an ad in order to get to the actual thing you want... and then do that for hours. After 4 hours you're begging for people to give you a quick reason to put them into the next stage.

As someone who has had to hire candidates from start to finish in the past, it's exhausting to go through hundreds of resumes and try to hunt for if they're qualified. It's human nature to just start skimming for the important bits - teach your kids to put that all up front.

Resumes should always be optimized to make it as easy for the person evaluating it as possible to move it on to the next step. Mine is: - 1-2 summary sentence - list of relevant skills for the job - list of my accomplishments that are transferrable to the job Then job history and education

I used to have to string a wire from from the family computer over a ceiling fan to the phone port across the room, so nobody tripped over it and disconnected me 😂 Trade Wars was great as was (had to look it up) Operation Overkill.

Did grand jury duty for a year and one of the crazier revelations was the tax fraud cases where people would just submit tax returns with made up numbers under other names, calculated to give a return of like $10-$100k. They were easily caught because it was linked to their bank account 🤦

Pollsters just have to get more clever in how they phrase things - basically need to trick people into answering truthfully instead of leading them with stuff they know will make it onto the news. Republicans and their financial situation have been getting better since mid 2022.

It's more about the people taking it than the methodology. Yougov is online and look at how Republicans feel about the economy. A Democrat is President they feel they have to claim things are terrible and as soon as a Republican is President everything is amazing.

The Dems haven't had control of Congress + the Presidency since 2008, which they used to pass the ACA, which made things better than it was before. Republicans spent the next 8 years talking about how bad it was, but when they tried to overturn it, it was so popular they failed.

You're making his point - the original Constitution didn't see racism as a problem so how would a court of 1896 be able to address something that isn't a problem?

I like how he claims use of judicial power is at odds with tradition and history, as evidenced by the fact that he said that before (so it must be true). Basically it's Clarence Thomases all the way down.

Seems lame - I would hope citations would point to scholarly work or precedence by *other* people and not just be used as a fancy way of saying "as I've said before".

Trump moved the embassy to Jerusalem and recognized it as the capital of Israel, which hindered the peace process (since East Jerusalem was often under consideration as part of a two state solution), effectively backing Palestinians into a corner and emboldening Netanyahu.

Well yeah you aren't participating if you don't vote for one of the two options for President. It's dumb you think that's not true. It's extra dumb to encourage others to not vote. If you want actual change spend your time petitioning your congressperson instead of complaining on social media.

The before screenshot is 34,735 total killed and the after is 34,844 total killed. I get the proportion of women and children is different and that not all of these people can be named, but it's still a lot of people killed. Even if the numbers are off by 10k.

You're very unserious, it's your responsibility to vote and take responsibility for who you vote for. Not dick around and encourage people not to vote. I respect people who vote for Trump more than you.

And frankly you should be goddamn embarrassed to admit you don't vote and that you encourage others to do likewise. It takes such little effort on your part while having an actual effect on the world.

If Trump wins you absolutely voted for him by not voting because you did nothing to stop it. We've seen this shit play out in 2000 and 2016. And as a result we got stuck with 20 years of wars and a conservative Supreme Court that will absolutely strike any law they don't like.
