This is why comments are so useful. I was already on the fence about viewing a site named futurism and your comment made sure I will avoid it moving forward.

It's really so sad and frustrating for those under the age of 45. Millennials were raised during a time of prosperity and possibilities, only to find out it was all a sham by the selfish, stupid and mostly older generations. Now Millennials, Gen Z and Gen A will reap the outcomes of all that while those who caused it will die off before things get even worse. I harbor no resent towards Gen X, but their refusal to fight the tide certainly didn't help.

Overall I think the conversation needs to shift away from "Americans are divided" and instead be shifted towards "The rich are dividing the working class for their personal benefit". They're destroying the planet too. The rich need to be made responsible for what they are doing and suffer the consequences.

Do Republicans stand for anything besides rolling back progress? They never present any new legislation other than rolling back protections for non-white, non-rich, non-christian, non-males.

Everyone went to Threads to take a look at the brand new thing, but now everyone has seen the new thing they're gone.

And they can't delete their account without deleting their Instagram while also sending their phone's data, including health data, to Meta.

Dems have their problems but jfc. What planet do you "bOtH sIdEs" truthers live on?

This seems to be on a much smaller scale than the initial plan, if I'm reading this correctly, and targets folks really in need. Mainly this seems to be targeting people who have decades old debt because they literally can't afford to pay back their loans - which seems totally fair. Many students took out loans with the promise from their peers and guardians that "college will be a worthwhile investment and you'll make your money back". That was obviously a lie for these borrowers as the price of tuition and stagnation of wages has guaranteed that promise is dead. This will ultimately be good for the economy and is an example of government working to help the people - so Republicans will hate it.

I have a former best friend who still somehow finds a way to fanboy over Musk, despite the excessive information about him and actions he's taken. All very public and easy to find information, yet never swayed the guy's opinion and the last time we talked about it he was still fanboying. It really should have been a warning sign of things to come with that friendship. Truly, only mentally and emotionally inept losers are still on Musk's side and the former friend's the only person I know who still has a favorable opinion of Musk.

Ah yes, it's a Wednesday and rightwingers have checks notes found something else that threatens their fragile egos.

unless you put in the ultimate cheat code of having R as your party initial.

Sucks that Republicans are so hellbent on forming a christo-fascist authoritarian regime with the only goal being to pump money into corporations and the wealthy.

Similar situation. If there is something I'm researching I still add "reddit" onto my search criteria since otherwise google queries return nothing but ads and garbage SEO enhanced blogspam sites. I used to look at the dragonball, chainsaw man and one punch man subreddits when new issues were released, but I'm moving over to discord for those now.

I hope we sometime soon move beyond discussing Twitter and its saboteur. There's so much more in tech happening than whatever headline he's trying to grab with his newest sabotage.

I'm tired of hearing about him too but unfortunately Tesla and Twitter are high profile companies. When they are in the news, he is unfortunately associated.

Probably not. If the submersible is even still intact, the search area is the size of Connecticut and they will run out of air soon. Even if they wanted to open a hatch and take their chances outside the vessel, they cannot. If the coast guard even finds them, if they are submerged there's not a great way to reach them either.

Modern republicans would shoot Jesus dead if given the opportunity.

lol Didn't some of the released hostages say Israel killed some of them due to their indiscriminate bombing of civilians?

The sheer audacity and stupidity of the hypocrisy is staggering and enraging.

I have my opinions on DeSantis but can we not with the circlejerk images with no sources?

Also fuck DeSantis. Def a fascist.

I'm less concerned about the rebranding and more concerned about people shrugging their shoulders that one man is so rich he was able to buy one of the most influential communication companies of the century and crater it because it hurt his feelings, now allowing hate speech to run rampant on the site, but he still has so much cash to burn.

According to the United States Constitution, Article III, Section 3, “Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying war against them, or in adhering to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort. No person shall be convicted of treason unless on the testimony of two witnesses to the same overt act, or on confession in open court.”

Furthermore, 18 U.S.C § 2381, states that a person guilty of treason against the United States “shall suffer death, or shall be imprisoned not less than five years and fined under this title but not less than $10,000; and shall be incapable of holding any office under the United States.”

It's wild to me that according to our laws so many of these "law and order" Republicans should be either executed or behind bars, yet walk free and unscathed.
