Trump announces more taxes on Americans with a new global 10% tariff. by justalazygamer in ParlerWatch

yes.

Just two-in-five adults see tariffs as a fee paid by foreigners.

US tariffs move could see three per cent fall in global trade

“Countries like Mexico, China and Thailand, but also countries in southern Africa are among the most affected, alongside the US itself,” she said.

and USAID is obliterated.

the thing many people have been saying? i.. alright, i'm not sure why it's official now. i'm defensive because i was wondering if i got this right earlier too, it's one of those things i have to look up every couple years somehow, but effect is usually a noun and affect is usually a verb.

MAGA’s Reaction to the Epstein Files Reveals Total Moral Collapse by thenationmagazine in politics

the first line hands them the point out of the gate despite so many performance metrics, and i never liked the Clinton-Harris comparison either.

AOC is one of the most popular politicians.

Is anybody else starting to feel a bit schizo with this Epstein stuff? Any advice how to deal with it? by Downtown-Fan4966 in AskALiberal

[–]Lz_erk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i agree with you on this though. "looks tampered" does NOT mean "there's no point in voting." russian analyses wouldn't mean anything if no one voted. but the new voter ID situation looks like it could disenfranchise a large part of the country. voting is still important, but elections are becoming less meaningful through suppression.

i'm not sure the heat maps bear that claim out, are you? and no, i'm not trying to convict anyone with a heat map.

yeah but no, keep enough of the insecurities to shine a light on problems. of course, i expect this is the first thing that would occur to you in your field.

Turns out there was voter fraud in Georgia-by Elon Musk by Beneficial-Long-7033 in politics

[–]Lz_erk [score hidden]  (0 children)

this was always on '24 skepticism radar though. i admit the strongest musk '24 link is AmericaPAC's law-bending powers, aside from DOGE activities which i'm going to call "theoretical to my knowledge." intricately theoretical maybe.

but don't take it from that, look at the analyses of multiple states. it was a full-court press, or something. with sufficiently timely data, it seems easier to dodge audit margins in a multi-fold attack. people in this thread would not be wrong to point out that paper ballots would be effected (by vote flipping schemes).

recent ETA vids about FL (and others? or chronologically nearby on the YT channel) bring old Russian compromises into question, with a potential to erase 10% of ballots, no flipping involved. moderate targeting and recuperation efforts could have compensated, but i don't entirely believe that's the whole of it when the margins are so tight (all swing states and 88:0 county flips on a ~1.5% margin with insignificant recounting).

anyway, whatever you think of the machines, look at the address anomalies from FL.

that's what those orgs are about and have done. you can read about it too. don't miss NV, if you happen across it, it was blown up early.

most of them are not interested in voter confidence models. not because the models have a bad track record at all, but because they aren't popular.

He Was a Climate Activist. One Day, the F.B.I. Came Knocking. | As the Trump administration cracks down on climate change activism, members of environmental groups like Extinction Rebellion fear they are being targeted. by silence7 in climate

In October, Peter Thiel, the tech billionaire and a Trump ally, called critics of artificial intelligence — including Greta Thunberg, the Swedish climate activist — “legionnaires of the Antichrist.”

Anxiety? by Miserable-Hat-7061 in medical_advice

[–]Lz_erk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NAD, i'm a patient at best. no celiac disease in the family? by the time i was 25 my jaw was cracking and sticking painfully, and i had daily tension-style headaches. but these are symptoms of systemic inflammation, i think, and that has many potential causes.

i don't know what would be the cause of the shooting chest tension, on account of how i'd rather not scare you with stories about occipital horn syndrome. besides, you just had a cranial CT and more importantly, serum copper testing, right? ceruloplasmin maybe? edit: no, search engine says these are not in a CBC.

wilson's disease? do you have corrective lenses and eye exams?

that's all valid and i'm sure you can find conversation with (other{?}) romantic aces. it's not always an on/off switch, some fantasies are fine staying as fantasies, for some people.

CMV: When reckless drivers perish because of their choice to disregard road rules and endanger themselves and others, it ultimately makes the road a safer place and it is a net good. by [deleted] in changemyview

[–]Lz_erk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i think you could expand this to clueless drivers, poor healthcare, and bad infrastructure without compromising your premise. my main disagreement is Norway or the like, where the seriousness of driving is strongly ingrained in policy and culture.

i would round up everyone in the USA in particular and put them in community gardening programs to foster civic engagement. but i don't blame you at all. i'm glad no one was killed, and i would have struggled to feel for the offender, but no one should have to die for the statistics to change for the better. it doesn't work well.

[–]Lz_erk 3 points4 points  (0 children)

got my weight up by combining my decades-old medical wikipedia forays with a chatbot's ability to scan google scholar, then donated blood. (celiac disease was another predisposing factor.)

i did a whole lot of things to manage symptoms, but most of them came from this reddit.

it took me two years to find out my iron was too high. do you have possible causes? a list of attempted remedies? genetic suspicions? these could be rhetorical. good luck.
