I was wondering where the US was. Then I scrolled to the right.

A deeper statistical analysis performed by CNN found that Black applicants to Navy Federal were more than twice as likely to be denied as White applicants even when more than a dozen different variables – including income, debt-to-income ratio, property value, downpayment percentage, and neighborhood characteristics – were the same.

This is the important bit, so someone can't argue differences in loan applications.

Go FLAC or go home.

The IRS is actually testing a new system where they just tell you how much you owe/get, and that's it unless there's unreported income and such that needs to be corrected.

It does to the people trying to burn that democracy to the ground.

They probably gave him documents on it, but he's borderline illiterate so he wouldn't have touched them.

On a second thought, let's not go to Reddit, tis a silly place.

The fact that over 74 million people voted for a literal monster in 2020 is what made me doubt it.

Also, the fact that there are women and non-whites who vote republican.

Can't invest in your human resources when you're only looking at maximizing quarterly profits.

If you vote republican, you're not a good person, and never have been since the party flip-flop. They've always been the party trying to suppress the rights of anyone who isn't a rich white male.

And now they're literally traitors trying to overthrow our government.

They actually created a mathematic proof to solve the body switching episode. Iirc they even got it published.

I mean, the argument from idiots will be that they're pleading guilty because the deep state will disappear them or some crazy bullshit.

Trying to use logic to argue with those people is like playing chess against a pidginpigeon. They'll knock over all the pieces, shit on the board, then strut around like they won.

Yeah, most people against illegal immigration have no idea how arduous and expensive the process actually is. It's not as simple as going to the border and saying, "One greencard please."

I'm against illegal immigration, but the solution I'd like to see is a more streamlined process so people wouldn't need to pay coyotes to smuggle them across with no guarantee they'd even survive the trip.

If they want to come be productive members of society, why stop them?

This is why I laughed so hard when DeSantis thought he could stand a chance against Disney in a legal battle.

I was worried for a second that he would be a more competent version of Trump, but boy did he prove me wrong.

It's pretty clear from the comments that people don't really know anything about lithium batteries. OP actually knows what their talking about for the most part.

First, lithium batteries contain little to no elemental lithium. Just because the molecule has lithium in it doesn't mean it'll react violently with water. Think about table salt. Just because elemental sodium reacts violently with water doesn't mean table salt will.

Secondly, it's not an electrical fire. A lithium battery fire is an exothermic, self sustaining chemical reaction.

Thirdly, that chemical reaction is self oxidizing, so you can't just smother the fire to put it out.

The only way to stop a lithium battery fire is to either let it burn itself out (which is bad because the smoke is highly toxic), or cool it down enough so it can't self sustain. Water is very good at this.

But they're people! Well, only in that one instance and not in any others that would allow punishments levied against people to be applied to businesses.

Like, if I sold poison that killed millions of people every year, I'd get the death penalty.

They're not going to promote you specifically because you thought cooking chicken in a coffee maker was a good idea.

Although, I guess you could kinda sorta do sous vide in one of you had the chicken in a sealed bag.

Europe has lead pipes as well, buddy.

They're perfectly safe as long as idiots don't change the water supply to one that's more acidic without buffering the pH.

Hell, England and Wales have nearly 3x more than the entire US.

Because it was used to launder money. And, bankrupting a business is actually a way to avoid taxes, especially when you regularly lie on your tax filings.

That's how it always works. Republicans shit in the bed, but it's only uncovered after a Democrat gets elected. Then they fix everything, only for the next republican to start the process over.
