This is as reductive as when people say religion is what causes all wars. Humans cause war. Race, religion, nationality, money, power,etc. All of them,and more, have been used as pretexts for war.

The former speaker of the House of Representatives is instead pushing Rep. Gerry Connolly (D-VA) to win the high-ranking role, and is “actively working to tank” AOC’s bid while “making calls” on behalf of Connolly, Punchbowl News reported Thursday.

The report adds that Pelosi’s behind-the-scenes maneuvering displays the sheer “amount of political capital” she’s willing to put into Connolly’s campaign—the verdict of which will be decided next week.

Classes DNC pulling strings to get the results they want.

Remember when Democrats keep repeating the line in how Republicans would just make it worse so remember to vote for them?

More of a regular thing for me than annual. It’s primarily Doctors without Borders and some international charities,mainly for the middle east. A while back my wife and I paid for some wells for some villages in Pakistan.

This seems to he based on a lot of hypothetical and not actual data.

The study examined the carbon footprint associated with each user per minute by incorporating the emissions associated with data centers, which made up about 99% of the footprint, and the emissions associated with charging devices after using the platforms.

TikTok’s emissions are the most opaque of the social media platforms. Tech giants such as Meta and Google release detailed reports to the Carbon Disclosure Project every year, even posting their findings to their respective websites. TikTok has no publicly available emissions data.

It’s just the theoretical output of emissions needed to run a Data Centre based off viewers and average time spent. While these are all rough numbers it could also very well be that the Data Centre’s are powered at least in part by renewables.

So it would make sense that Tiktok would use up a lot of electricity for its platform. We just can’t be sure how much of it actually translates into more emissions.

Rarely. Humans can be very inconsistent due to their inherent biases and emotions. If what you say were true we would have been able to observe it take place by now.

Not many people are pure leftists though. We all have our inherent biases based on things like social class, upbringing, religion, nationality, etc. Just because a consistent framework is there doesn’t mean people just fit so well into it.

Funnily enough my only exposure to D&D was from Baldurs Gate 3. I’ll take it as a compliment though.

Very few people fit neatly into a political label. We tend to be all over the place on political issues.

Fear not—there’s no one-click option, so no one should be in any danger of absent-mindedly buying a brand-new Palisade.

Well that’s reassuring. I was getting worried. I honestly hate when that happens.

They already had the Golan Heights. They just yoinked a buffer zone for their buffer zone.

It’s two separate issues. A single person shouldn’t be able to pour that much money to influence an election. At the same time the justice system should have more teeth against the rich who openly break laws.

I’m misreading lol. Comment deleted so no one else is misled.

Yeah looks like I misread it. I deleted the comment so no one else gets misled by me.

You’re right, I misread it. I’ve deleted the comment to avoid misleading anyone else.

Unfortunately, regulatory gaps still remain, even in this case. The TCPA does not apply to nonprofit organizations, religious institutions, or calls to landlines. Harper said the FCC is transparent about, and pushing to close, such “loopholes.”

That’s a pretty big loophole given how big the alt-right Christian movement is.

A flight from Israel to the US is mainly over the Atlantic. Not sure if diverting it to a nearby country is an option.

If they don’t comply that is going to play into Putin’s hands and piss off Europe.

How so?

I personally doubt Trump will comply either. Israel has deep pockets and Trump loves money. But guessing what Trump would do is a very difficult thing to do to be fair. I could be wrong on this.

Layovers? For the PM of Israel? What is he? Lower-middle class?
