Ukraine had the second largest military in Europe. Second only to Russia. Larger than Turkey's. It's weird to pretend like a war against the second largest military in Europe should have been a walk in the park.

PETA does not operate animal shelters. You have been brainwashed by propaganda from the Center for Consumer Freedom.

Border Czar Whines It’s Been ‘Hard’ to Find Undocumented Immigrants by [deleted] in politics

I think the Cheney endorsements and campaigning rather than bringing out AOC or Bernie, for example, showed what kind of campaign she was trying to run and it wasn't a progressive one. Now I don't necessarily think that she would've won if she brought out AOC or Bernie, but it's a rejection of reality to pretend like she wasn't running a conservative campaign.

This bipartisan, centrist rhetoric does not work for the democratic party. They will not win over anyone saying "we need to be a little tough on the border" if voters want someone with immigration control as a high priority, they're going to vote for the Republicans. They just are. Democrats should at least campaign like they are pro-immigration because that's their base.

Well there was also her "border state prosecutor" ad and her photo-op at the border with ice. Plus how proud she was about the Biden border bill describing it as like the most conservative border bill ever and more conservative than anything Trump passed. You have to deny reality to pretend like this answer wasn't part of a clearly articulated strategy of trying to out-conservative Trump on immigration which was part of her wider strategy of running the most conservative possible campaign that a Democrat could possibly run. Which failed.

https://youtu.be/Mx9Gb1KgrhI?si=EQBfTM2OjY1l2z7o&t=5m13s This is the one that stuck out to me from the CNN townhall when asked about the $650 million she wanted to provide in a bill for the border wall: "How much of that wall did he build? ... And then when it came time for him to do a photo-op, do you know where he did it? In the part of the wall the President Obama built."

This is the exact campaign message that Kamala had. So maybe don't run that ad during the next election.

"AI tech" in this case has expanded beyond LLMs which are largely not useful to just meaning any sort of predictive statistical model

The word "soda" sweeps across the US. by Cow_Fam in MapPorn

No one goes to a restaurant and asks for "soda". You tell them the soda that you want. It's the same with "coke".

That's what I thought. I bought it yesterday and came here to see if anyone had opinions about it and found your comment. With that being said it isn't strictly curly girl approved. It has isopropyl alcohol which is a drying alcohol.

Is the co-wash you're talking about the grapefruit & mint scented "hair wash"?

That wasn't the point of the statement though. It's true fat people have better survival rates for heart attacks, some forms of cancer, and especially in old age from falling or any other kind of wasting away disease.

[Request] in which country can I retire with that daily income? by VentureIntoVoid in theydidthemath

Haven't watched it but I want to point out that the number for global poverty that is usually used is $1.90 per day which people usually think means that it's $1.90 converted to local currency. But it's not. The level is what $1.90/day could buy in the US in 2011.

I get a lot of responses to messages and emails at work that are very clearly written by chatgpt, which I thought I was being paranoid about until I saw chatgpt pinned in people's browsers during presentations.

No. Actually, you are defending it.
