Ironically Republican presidents are the worst for the economy, https://www.jec.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/democrats/2024/10/the-u-s-economy-performs-better-under-democratic-presidents

I am surprised conservatives don’t want to add PR as a state, Republicans would definitely get more reps voting along religious lines in congress

I don’t find any issues on .world. Yeah some people say dumb stuff, but that’s just the world isn’t it? I am sure there are others who think the same of me. It’s whatever, some people getting mad at .world are just mad they’re not in an echo chamber.

But other people complaining about trolls are right, there’s just no place for that. Report, block and move on. It’s not your job to educate anyone.

Is this post sane-washing Russia? What’s left about Russia under Putin? Overall funny, though

Dollars to donuts Republicans are smuggling in violent criminals themselves

Miller is not a sharp mind, he couldn’t flexibly come up with a response to a changing situation and resorted to bullying, which didn’t work either

The reporter wasn’t even that sharp or clever either, which again tells you what you need to know about Miller, he would be mid-level manager somewhere if not for his luck

Rich donors who don’t want EU like welfare states in the U.S.

That’s not what it’s saying at all, it’s talking about immobilization as a survival strategy as induced by the body’s neurophysiology, think of it as another option after flight vs fight responses.

Here’s the report mentioned in the article https://explore.bps.org.uk/content/report-guideline/bpsrep.2020.rep133

Edit looking closely, the report itself doesn’t mention anything about the immobilization defense.

Edit2 so on further review, I agree that this article is low quality. Apologies, was just browsing while half asleep and thought it was interesting

Polyvagal theory itself does not seem promising so far. Oh well, editing this post to highlight that…

Interesting, elaborate

“So why are you voting Republican, then?” “My family is Republican; we always do.”

Republican politicians would eat this person and their family if it ever came to it

When you’re the reason error log messages are created…

Their comment is based on this criteria:

Countries are classified as democracies if they meet the following conditions:

Executive: The executive is directly or indirectly elected in popular elections and is responsible either directly to voters or to a legislature.

Legislature: The legislature (or the executive if elected directly) is chosen in free and fair elections.

Voting: A majority of adult men has the right to vote.

For anyone interested: the prehistoric origin of democracy, ie before the Greeks, is also interesting

That’s how they do pull requests there

I think people should get to do them! I don’t enjoy them, but whatever. If we could make louder noises, flashes and colors with environmentally friendly fireworks, that’d be awesome. I think the noise, flash and color of fireworks is what other people enjoy, but we all suffer the poor air quality afterwards. So I just want something that will make other people get what they want out of fireworks while not damaging the air quality

Most scientific findings are based on averages, and so a generalization will not likely apply to all people

I feel like I could learn Dutch, my English is already broken

Do you work in devops?

Got mine along with my first baby. Another example of blaming women for legitimate health issues?

Sorry to know that! I was only talking about hemorrhoids from forcing shitting. Didn’t know they could happen with child birth, but makes sense

I’ll take death thanks 🙏

Hemorrhoids is a preventable condition, you’re not supposed to sit there and push. Just get up and do drink water or eat fiber. Try hot coffee or warm milk or a yogurt drink. No one needs to suffer from hemorrhoids at all, I am surprised there are still people who do. Should be a unit in middle school health classes to not force shitting

Could have made a meme instead of drawing this up, looking forward to seeing the artist mature some more and bring more distinctive style
