which specific things
these specific things would stop receiving these funds
so there is this massive amount of money that currently is being spent in "specific things" that wouldn't make any difference if the money were to be reallocated to something else
let CA go for it then, so long as that fed spending is not on fed-run stuff within the state
you'd need to address what specific things are these and if CA should really be able to do away with them
that's a States rights issue
I generally agree
several states want to remove all restrictions on gun acquisition
let them
16 year olds from CA should be able to drive to AZ and buy a bazooka in Walmart no questions asked
that's for CA to police the entire border
they'll regain an appreciation for borders
you'll find that your wishes need to be enforced to be workable
it's bankrupt though
big pop, big GDP, huge debt
lol so appealing that people net flee
that's a good one
actually US internal immigration to TX is redder than TX, immigration has been blue from Mexico
but not this election
net emigration is terrible news to CA as it's people not on welfare mainly who are leaving
blue states most grossly unequal states in the US
yep but Hispanics not 1st generation have been turning Rep, which is a development that may solidify TX for republicans if it persists
it will be interesting to watch whatever happens
yep deluge of info and disinfo is an inescapable problem these days
"fact checkers" only make it worse
IMO bad take and won't happen
Rob is being pretty spot on regarding bias, although there are several recurring arguments he makes that I strongly disagree with
his own bias I think it's fine, he's open about his preferences but he doesn't sugarcoat the arguments for or against
if he tried to push a performance act that he conceals his preference, that would be deceitful. It's more the philosophy of the other side to do that and justify it as form/canon
yep it is, I'm in the UK and it will start by midnight
@ImNotGas there's a big difference though, these right-wing echo chambers are emergent as a product of the crowding out in big tech, whereas big tech engineered an extremely narrow outlook by top-down moderation and censorship
if you build a platform now and you allow for a wide range of views, it will be dominated by the right
you accept them but you cannot force them to come
you can hardly blame the platforms that are tolerant - you can and should blame the intolerant approach for causing the rift in the first place
well it is, but not "just as"
you can seek in Parler some extreme left views
they are there, they are a minority
in both Twitter and Parler your timeline is shaped mainly by your own choices
it's true that you cannot find as many high-profile individuals in Parler, and barely any from the left. But you don't have to limit yourself to celebs.
having said that I don't like Twitter or Parler, personally - the only reason for me to use them is that a lot of people only announce stuff there, as a notification system. But I'm not a fan at all, whereas one of my brothers is positively addicted
or the UK
sucks here
I've always had plans to run some social media stuff, but I don't see any viable funding mechanism in the current environment
if the corporations attacked the left, they would fight them like there's no tomorrow
yea but I don't think he's unique in a meaningful way if he does get to be POTUS
any Dem POTUS nowadays will be a mere spokesperson of the DNC, and at that Obama was very good
Biden would be terrible but wouldn't make any difference in terms of policy
if he thought that he was wrong
Biden was never so consequential
that's funny that Bin Laden was so clueless about US politics
that's unrelated @TaLoN132
leaving aside possible causal links
the only POTUS that has been executive since Reagan was Trump, the others were spokesmen
whether it worked better one way or the other is a separate topic
that they took the decisions themselves and delegated only aid to those decisions
Obama did not move policy one cm from what DNC policy was all along
despite his prior promises
was talked out of every single thing he promised, including say gitmo, foreign policy, border policy, drug war, etc etc
she seems nice
agreed with Robert that the Venezuelan link alone would NOT make a case
lol snopes
worst government we've had in the UK since Blair, possibly even worse than Blair's
up there with Chamberlain's possibly
no knock warrants have proliferated across Europe without war on drugs too
anti-terror acts do all that and more
since the late 90s they've been gaining momentum
recently the thought crime aspect is getting very pervasive
in Scotland if your kid tells a teacher that daddy things negatively of multiculturalism or is against BLM, etc
that's grounds for arrest
also children can start trans drugs at school without parental consent or even knowledge
that's UK-wide this year, has been the case in Scotland for a few years
they are truly picking up pace
unthinkable stuff is the new normal in a couple of years
my sleep pattern is all over the place with the lockdown and the short winter days
we have like 6 hours of dim light a day in late November and need excuses to get out
can only go out for food nearby since I can work from home
it's no wonder people are very depressed
by 5PM it's dark
I don't really know but it's pretty quiet in Canary Wharf and it used to be extremely busy
pubs closed, shops closed, just some restaurants and coffee shops do take away
apparently, I haven't seen a kid around in quite a while come to think of it
today I saw a couple and they were continentals
here it's the usual 0-10C every day, will be a bit colder next month
that's around 30 to 50F which is standard here
London is relatively warm for the UK
very stable too, many days we stay within a couple degrees all day
and wet
we haven't had indoor dining or pubs since early November
no, not at all
well it's a threat to our economy
because of the panic
and people are getting really depressed by being locked down as days get shorter
London's latitude is above Calgary just to give a North American perspective
and most of the UK is higher up
I think people usually disregard how important daylight is
I think I got it around December last year, but wasn't tested
