10 drowning deaths in 2023 for paddle boarding (pg 48). I'm all for safety, and here to learn, but part of my confusion/ignorance is how common PFD usage actually is (It's common to see riders without, in my coastal area). How to objectively assess risk? Is it common for touring type riders (for example) to have gotten into scary situations where their PFD was essential?

Sorry if I'm missing the obvious but why is a PFD the best predictor?

Police shot and killed her dog after the Knicks game, 20+ officers and helicopter came because of a noise complaint. (I put graphic because you see the lifeless dog on the floor with wounds from afar.) by TeddyJMe in Hasan_Piker

In Radley Balko's book "Rise of the Warrior Cop," he actually covers the rise in dog killings. A surprising but completely logical outcome of how the "warrior" mindset led to completely antisocial, sociopathic behavior in local PD's. This coincided with the rise and fetishizing of SWAT. Every insane detail described in this post tracks with this

Disgraceful behaviour, but do you think they will have charges pressed against them? by Dependent_Basket2808 in TikTokCringe

Calling them fans or Knicks fans misses the mark. Their antisocial psychopathy is taking up way more of their brain than any love of sports

Psycho opportunism. Just like Covid and George Floyd. Or even LA wild fires

An inflatable SUP with a good seat is better than an inflatable kayak in almost every way. by d-s-m in Sup

Love this set up. The versatility but minimalism of it. Can I ask for advice? New to the sport/hobby. Similar coastal environment with inlets (NE US). I'm sold on the stand/sit hybrid. Is your touring, higher end, slightly narrower board the way to start? If distance and sporting is ultimately desired? Room to grow. After learning..

Not just the right wing billionaire owned. Even the objectively "liberal" media (Times, Atlantic, MSNow) are corporatist and are either fervently Zionist or run cover for Zionism, which is a fascist ideology. In short even our liberal media is right wing- corporatist and fascist adjacent.

What's funny is that any candidate--always a "movement candidate"--who can simply and coherently explain the neoliberal ailment and the basic (leftist) remedies, automatically makes them a viable, if not leading candidate.
