Someone needs to make a browser extension that hides any article with "experts say" in the title

Tbf calling it peasant class is more honest. The new planes economy sections must have been designed by the same people who designed cattle cars.

A dietitian that taught my college health class told us that Americans tend to have too much protein in their daily intake

Americans have too much of a lot of things in their diet but high quality, lean protein is not one of them.

I don't know why anyone is using youtube directly when they can use Newpipe or Freetube. No ads, sponsorblock and even the ability to automatically skip intros, recaps etc On top of that no google account tracking or algorithms.

Edit: Adding "libretube" as well based on some of the replies to this comment.

Anyone using these services in current year is asking for this. If someone is not computer literate and "has" to use these unnecessary services because they can't selfhost or whatever they need to recognize that total exploitation of their data is the cost and it will never, ever change unless you own your data on your own hardware.

I can't reiterate enough how much the government will never ever solve this problem.

Yeah. I'm not a big "celebrity" person but he's had a net positive impact to the world and devoted his life to his cause. I have a signed copy of his hacking book from a seminar in college. I hope he comes out on the other side. I have a lot of respect for him despite his eccentric statements.

Years ago somebody threw a brick off an overpass and shattered my Dad's windshield while he was on the highway. He drives for a living so he was able to maintain control but it could have easily killed him and others.

Puerto Rico should be it's own country.

It provides a false sense of security for the left even though they should still definitely be worried. The past week is reminiscent of 2016 when everyone thought Trump was a joke candidate and Hillary was going to crush him.

Inshallah

They will have to rip Bitwarden (soon Vaultwarden) from my cold dead hands.

For "privacy" yes, almost entirely.

If your VPN isn't routing to your home network so you can safely access selfhosted applications then you're basically just sharing your traffic with a total stranger and trusting them not to run telemetry etc.

The scummy sales person is a stereotype. They exist sure but if you've ever worked with a good one they can really help particularly if you're buying something complex. I used to work for a company that sold complex manufacturing equipment and without a salesperson theres no way most customers would know what they needed to maintain it etc.

Massachusetts is also 4th in the country for states with the most people leaving to live elsewhere.

No doubt due to cost of living because Massachusetts is ridiculously expensive. The friends I have there are either leaving or totally resigned to not owning a house or ever retiring. Comparing a historically important coastal population center to a historically poor and strategically insignificant flyover state doesn't prove much.

The states with highest domestic emigration (e.g. people voting with their feet to leave) are overwhelmingly left leaning. (Except for Louisiana and Ohio)

You go on Joe Rogan for one. Kamala ran the last presidential campaign that will ever rely so heavily on the legacy media apparatus. This whole cycle proved that they are only broadcasting to themselves and real people are elsewhere on podcasts, twitter and YT.

...so it's like it was during the hunter biden laptop story and covid?

Jesus was killed because he angered the Pharisees (specifically the Priests) by defying their authority and teaching the new covenant. The Romans (aka "the state") were only invested insofar as it would prevent a revolt. Pontius Pilate found no fault in Christ and offered Barrabas instead (a convicted murderer) but the Pharisees would not relent and wanted Jesus crucified. Pilate famously washed his hands of the business because even he knew it was an injustice.

Welcome. Lemmy is like Reddit but the lemmings are more dogmatic and sensitive.

The US economy has been running on funny money for decades at this point. It's like a game of musical chairs for who's going to get stuck with the fallout from a debt-laden service economy driven by speculation and increasingly nefarious financial instruments.
