Poor Sotomayor.

She’s the single wise, rational, compassionate justice who not only has to consistently voice and explain the correct rulings that her asshole conservative peers avoid an order to consolidate wealth and power, but she also gets so much collateral shit because she’s lumped in with all those assholes.

Pppffbbbthhh haha thanks.

Guess I’ll just sit in this, I guess.

Update: thank you for pointing out to me which community this was posted on.

I’m going to leave this post up as a cautionary tale for people like me who don’t pay enough attention!

But Linux is cool cuz it’s so fast and it doesn’t break.

Long as I’ve been using it anyway.

So now linux is going to be much slower, going to break and be more susceptible to security breaches?

I’m not a programmer, is the upside supposed to be that with so many more programmers able to work on the kernel, those issues will be able to be fixed by the extra programmers?

It’s not like there’s anything wrong with Linux right now.

I agree.

That’s kind of what I meant, I’m really glad that this administration took the initiative to allow him liberty again since I don’t think he deserved the charges in the first place.

Oh, that’s nice.

Alford plea?

Wow. he shouldn’t have been charged at all, but at least he’s being released finally.

Wow What a hell of a saga for him.

Laptops, cuz I like to travel a lot and…4 years later now, I can still play the new games or go back to the old ones whenever I want to.

It’s very convenient.

If I was in one place, I’d probably get a PC just cuz it’s usually cheaper for the same hardware.

But I love traveling and I don’t love extra possessions! And I love playing games now and then.

Uh, yeah it’s the same president.

It’s only been 8 months.

So you’re like, super uninformed?

Guess your little inaccurate tantrum bears that out.

Just to blast apart your irrelevances there, 1) Biden admitted that he was wrong about the babies as soon as he found out he was wrong about the babies due to faulty intelligence. 2) With complete non-involvement from the US, israel has enough other allies and stockpiled ammunitions to have started and continue this genocide for years(as they have been doing for the last half century); the fact that you don’t know this bears out your ignorance and renders your plaintive cries immaterial.

I know you feel safe on the bandwagon, but you might want to read a little before you start making things up.

Good article, thanks for sharing

I do. They are delivering hundreds of tons of aid, even if netanyahu and the IDF are being real pieces of s*** about letting it get delivered.

It helps biden’s image, but to call it a “public relations distraction at best” is absurdly narrow-minded and dismissive.

This actually happened. Wrong community.

Nope, you were right, it was just from 5 years ago rather than last year or 2 years ago that this increase happened.

I just left another comment explaining that there are high increases grocery recalls specifically because so much more of our food is coming from other countries with substandard manufacturing practices according to the FDA.

So looking through 2024 recalls, 50 of them, little over 30% are due to undeclared allergens, about 35 are due to salmonella or motocytogenes infections.

2022-2023 and 2024 all have 300 or so yearly grocery recalls.

2021 only has 111 listed

2020 only has 61 listed

2019 only has 21 listed

So… You’re right, It’s basically a 3x increase since a few years ago and a 15x increase since 5 years ago.

Okay, so I’ve downloaded data back to 2018, which is what the FDA provides on recalls, sorted by date (which they don’t do, what the heck),

OKAY!

It’s because more food is coming in from other countries, that have substandard regulation compared to the FDA.

It looks like that’s the main reason.

So the same reason as the drugs, foreign factories just aren’t up to the FDA standards.

Almost 150 recalls in grocery items so far in 2024, versus 300 total 2023, so not much more then last year anyway.

That does include the drug recalls I mentioned in the other comment.

A lot of medicines have started to be produced in India in an effort to move pharma manufacturing away from China, resulting in substandard manufacturing practices since the factories never had to conform to those standards before.

I just checked the numbers and there’s only been 21 one recalls of pharmaceuticals, compared to a little over 50 over all of 2023, so since we’re halfway through the year it seems about on par.

“Former President and convicted felon Donald Trump…”

Soothes the soul

I agree with you, we could define your arguments as stupid on their face without much further analysis.

In one sense of the word, anyway.

Don’t think anybody asked you about that word in particular, but at least you’re crawling toward an understanding.

Just for fun, “no” can semantically refer to 1) a discreet or broad lack of; or 2) an imperative command to avoid a particular action, but you probably knew that and were being semantically facetious, otherwise you would look like you done goofed up real hard.

If you don’t understand that one word can have multiple definitions, I’ll agree that your assumptions may be giving you trouble.

I don’t think I ever heard anybody say I wish this was the standard in the US, but whoever said that may be misinformed on the political process in Mexico.

As far as I understand, this lady is cool, does seem like the People’s choice, there are no established connections between her and the cartels or any kind of corruption.

I’m excited to see how she does

There were 50 Mexican political candidates assassinated in 2018, but obviously we’re only halfway through 2024 with more than half that, so…

I travel a lot and met a girl from Mexico who said that I had to visit, and I was like I don’t know man, there is a disproportionate amount of kidnappings and violent crime specifically against tourists in Mexico.

And she was like no. I swear it’s safe. I grew up there my whole life until I moved away at 30, and I never had a problem, and I was around gangsters and people like that all the time because my dad was the police chief.

I was like yeah man, I might have an inkling as to why you didn’t get pushed around as much.
