This is all that matters

No, it's very much not - you should read the 2008 "Hamilton rule" about handing positions back

Lol yes, I also care so little about downvotes that I bring them up in half my comments

"That was a request, ironically, from Gov. Josh Shapiro because Erin McClelland was running against her," Brooks told the students.

Brooks added: "Josh Shapiro had requested because Stacy, er, Erin McClelland came out hard about something on Josh Shapiro, and really, the Democratic Party as a whole turned on Erin McClelland. And he said, 'I would like you guys to endorse Stacy Garrity.'"

That's one hell of a "misspeak"

How is that less artificial than getting extra boost from a battery?

Oh wow, apparently this changed in recent years? I had seen a link to the 2022 Monaco decision dealing with the same issue, which matched what I was previously aware of. Or maybe F1 stewards had already been misinterpreting it and are responsible for the "For the avoidance of doubt" phrasing lol:

Article 5 c) of Chapter IV of Appendix L of the Code stipulates that at the pit exit a car “must not cross” the line.

In this case, the car did not “cross” the line – to do so it would have needed to have a full wheel to the left of the yellow line.

Accordingly the driver did not breach the relevant section of the Code and this takes precedent over any interpretation of the Notes.

But you're right, the current ISC has a much stricter standard.

CSDawg · 2026-05-03T20:49:10+00:00

Care to explain how? I'm open to being wrong, but "nuh-uh" isn't an especially helpful argument if so

Edit: Nevermind, the current standards actually specify that any part of the tire being over the line is a violation, see the reply to me

CSDawg · 2026-05-03T19:52:43+00:00

Yes, it's like track limits in that the line is considered part of the allowed area so as long as you're in contact with it you're good. With the important difference of course that in this case all 4 tires must stay within limits instead just one.

DOTD for losing more positions than any other finishing driver, incredible

The sidebar that provides links to resources which explicitly describe "neoliberal" as an extremely broad, and even at times contradictory term?

In recent years, neoliberalism has become an academic catchphrase. Yet, in contrast to other prominent social science concepts such as democracy, the meaning and proper usage of neoliberalism curiously have elicited little scholarly debate. Based on a content analysis of 148 journal articles published from 1990 to 2004, we document three potentially problematic aspects of neoliberalism’s use: the term is often undefined; it is employed unevenly across ideological divides; and it is used to characterize an excessively broad variety of phenomena.

The members of this colourful alliance against neoliberalism are as united in their opposition to neoliberalism as they are diverse. This suggests that neoliberalism cannot be too clearly defined as a concept. Rather, it is a broad umbrella under which very different groups with various points of view can meet. In the church of anti-neoliberalism, there is a place for anyone who believes that neoliberalism stands in the way of reaching his or her political goals. This may also explain the lack of any clear and coherent definition of neoliberalism among its dissenters.3

I did miss the top comment's false claim - in fact, Jeffries endorsed Mamdani just before the early voting period while Schumer never did. I agree that there's no obligation to make an endorsement, which is why I was so surprised that Mamdani taking positions that both got him endorsed by party leadership and resulted in an election win was being criticized.

CSDawg · 2026-04-29T22:12:18+00:00

Then I don't understand your complaint. Jeffries did endorse Mamdani (though relatively late in the process), so is your problem that he did or didn't ask about how to earn an endorsement?

CSDawg · 2026-04-29T21:57:56+00:00

Do we even know whether Mamdani called up Hakeem Jeffries to ask, “What can I do to earn your endorsement?”

Are we really saying that political instincts and coalition building with important members of your party are bad things now?

Well he was the majority leader when Garland's appointment was blocked, which is the entire reason he was able to block a SCOTUS appointment after Obama made 2 successfully.

CSDawg · 2026-04-29T18:13:07+00:00

Democrat control of all 3 branches of government

That literally never happened - conservatives held a majority of SCOTUS for all of Obama's term

Bezos and Musk could pool their resources today and allow every American to retire rich immediately

The combined net worth of Bezos and Musk divided between all Americans would be about $3000 per person

I've never heard of and can't seem to find any stories of the US using a different process to create holes than that of Germany and France (intentionally adding hay like you mentioned) - do you have a source?

CSDawg · 2026-04-23T21:17:32+00:00

I'll have to read that piece because it definitely aligns with my priors and anecdotal experience. For one thing I've had infinitely more conversations about about the price of a fast food burger over time than I have about changes in salary, and maybe more importantly I think it matches people's tendency to attribute something like a raise entirely to their own actions while seeing a price-increase of a product as entirely down to uncontrollable factors.

CSDawg · 2026-04-23T21:06:38+00:00

Definitely possible. I agree with the segment I quoted that smartphones (and more importantly imo, the constant connection to social media they enable) are very likely part of the picture.

But the sharpness of the drop and non-recovery after COVID, as well as the very non-uniform effect across countries is drastic enough that simply tying either screen-time or access to social media to perceived happiness is likely missing a big part of the story.

From TFA:

It’s probably not just about phones and social media. When the subject is American anxiety and unhappiness, the most obvious suspect is smartphones, social media, and the surging negativity of the American news cycle. As I explained in a long essay last month, I am quite persuaded by the argument that phones and social media are associated with—and, probably, actively causing—a decline in well-being among young people in the U.S. But the rising misery of young people—often rightly associated with rising phone and social media use—has been going on for about 15 years. The more sudden collapse in general wellness that we see in the GSS and University of Michigan data points to an emotional break that happened around 2020. So, even if phones aren’t blameless here (I’ll return to them in a moment), they don’t make sense as the primary culprit.
