Matt Gaetz literally used his public venmo to pay underage prostitutes.
People are fucking stupid.

Is recycling a scam?
It depends on your location and the material, but plastic recycling is kind of a scam. Basically, it requires a lot of labor and energy, the resulting plastic is kind of shit, and as a result plastic is rarely recycled once and basically never recycled twice or more.

Stephen Colbert says the Late Show's series finale will air on May 21, the conclusion of a franchise that launched in 1993 with David Letterman

His last show was the Colbert Report on Comedy Central. He pretended to be an arch-neocon as a bit, which was not only hilarious but also resulted in several high profile right wingers eating the onion.

Hazardous substances found in all headphones tested by ToxFREE project
This seems like a nothing burger. Plenty of things you shouldn't ingest like BPA, plastic, and solder are perfectly benign when used to construct consumer electronics.
I'd be more interested to hear they found something that leeches through the skin being used to create the body of the headphones.

Everclear is excellent for making tinctures and liqueurs. You're not supposed to drink it.

Texas’ Anti-Trans Attorney General Declares Psychologists Must Impose Conversion Therapy on Trans Kids

He has no opposition. The governor and LT governor (texas is weird about governors) are both close allies, and the republican party has had a stranglehold on state level politics for decades at this point.
What he is really doing here is threatening to sue if people don't fall in line. If someone actually fights him in court they might win, but the vast majority of people are not ready and willing to start a legal battle with the state.

Americans: How the hell do you meet new people or get into relationships after college?
Shared hobbies are your best bet. Either find a way to make your existing hobbies social, or get a new hobby you can do with people.
You can also try events at your local bars or meeting people at work, but both of those have serious drawbacks.
And if you are looking for people to date, the vast majority of options you have these days are online. You can try hooking up with strangers at a bar or meeting someone while engaging in a social activity, but statistically a tiny percentage of couple meet that way these days.

Titanic part 2: the sequel

I'm on my phone, but most of that is a shell around the actual pressure vessel for aesthetic reasons.
The pressure vessel where the people sit is inside that and is likely in pretty bad shape.

It's about the *option*

I agree in principle, but I do think people should be shamed for endangering others because they want to feel cool. Large SUVs and trucks are much more dangerous to pedestrians and cyclists and such than normal cars.
Sports cars aren't inherently more dangerous for others unless you fuck with them or drive like a cock.

What are you doing to prepare for re entry after traveling abroad?
If I had the option, I would wipe me device before crossing the border. If not, make sure it is powered off and biometrics are disabled when crossing.
And if they take it from you, throw it in a woodchipper. It is no longer a trustworthy device.

In a normal timeline it would be, but honestly who knows at this point.
Texas and Florida already have similar laws though.

8 in 10 Europeans don’t trust US, Chinese firms with data
Reply in thread
I can't speak for the Chinese, but Americans don't trust American corporations with their data, we just don't really have an alternative.
I think this is an example of "20% of people will say literally anything as long as it goes against the majority."

Yes, but he's also Mike Tyson. He can probably still hit someone hard enough to kill them on the spot.

Don't worry friend, the AI bubble will pop. Unfortunately, it will probably trigger a massive recession when it does, but that won't last forever either.

Do you prefer Ribeye steak or Sirloin steak?
I preferred sirloin before I went vegan. I like my steak rare enough the fat in a ribeye doesn't render properly and that's a little gross.
