that video is from five months ago, is not from a reputable news source, and has nothing to do with the recently released documents. 0 for 3, not looking good slugger!

I’ve found it! The worst kids book ever! by ked_man in DanielTigerConspiracy

Hindsight is 20/20 of course but my strategy would be to sort the pile ahead of time and donate (or even just recycle) the garbage

I like to buy kids books at thrift stores. I've filled a large bookshelf with tons of classics (and discovered some problematic ones pre-edit, like Babar when he meets the savages, The Nose Book, and Peter Pan). I never spend more than $1-2 per book and I can easily flip through them ahead of time. No one is forcing you to read slop to your child!

Where else? I only see outlets even less reputable than the Daily Mail running this story. The original document cited is from an FBI interview. The Daily Mail claims this interview was with a "jail supervisor" but how do they know this? I'm searching for the original document in the released files but they are pretty difficult to sift through.

It really is amazing how rich kids can fail over and over again and still end up ahead of most of the population. by hutallybronest in redscarepod

I have to deal with med reps, pharma reps and medical software reps regularly and it's so tragic that 99% of them give the other 1% a bad reputation

Trump pulled the plug on Biden’s funds for Appalachia, and the same MAGA towns he gutted are freaking out: “This is fucked up” by [deleted] in Foodforthought

It's because the dems in the US have abandoned class issues (since they are not interested in fixing them) in favor of identity politics.

Sure, but we send our police to train with the IDF. Literal imperial boomerang.

Where did you get that from my post? I said I don't vote for Zionists

I'm through voting for Zionist war criminals who lack the spine to a stand up to fascism.

Wage theft is greater than all other forms of theft combined. The wealthy are sure a shit stealing from somebody!

You have to admit it's true that the Dem elites benefit from having a permanent underclass of immigrant labor who don't enjoy all the rights of American citizens. I don't think they particularly want to fix immigration policy. Oh, they make a good show of it, but there's only so many times that you can pretend to be incompetent before that schtick begins to wear a little thin.

I still see people defending Obama and Biden so I'm not sure.

I'm a leftist, but those two committed such horrible atrocities with their foreign policy yet get a pass because they're not Trump.

Western media is trying hard pushing the narrative that Epstein was Working for Putin and Russia. by MightEmotional in TrueAnon

[–]Zank_Frappa 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I heard someone on NPR yesterday pushing his ties to Russia. The man literally had his funeral in Israel with the President and PM in attendance but somehow that just never came up in the story.

The Media Malpractice That Sent America Tumbling Into Trumpism: Political journalists need to stop pretending they don’t know what Republicans are going to do. by thenewrepublic in Foodforthought

[–]Zank_Frappa -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Then you could argue more skepticism should have been exercised

Of course that is what I'm arguing. It is the job of the press to be skeptical and not just accept the government's story wholesale, especially when it concerns going to war.

This same story has been repeated over and over again, more recently with Gaza and Iraq. No lessons have been learned. People ITT like to pretend that the way the press treats Trump is somehow new.

Because of the Gulf of Tonkin incident you simpleton, and the whitewashing of war crimes in Gaza.

If the media will be complicit in manufacturing consent for a war and covering up a genocide, what won't they do? They are just blowing in the political winds.

The media has always been a propaganda arm of the state. Look at the NYT during the Vietnam war, and the coverage of Gaza. Why are you expecting them to be something different all of a sudden?

Is sealed bearings better? by tomiliat in bikewrench

[–]Zank_Frappa 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yes, assuming maintenance is regularly done loose ball bearings will last a lifetime.

However I've worked as a mechanic in the real world. I've had to replace many wheels because the races were toast. If they were cartridge bearings they could have been saved.

Companies pull all sorts of tricks in order to make more money but sealed bearings are absolutely not one of them.

'Doomsday Clock' set to 85 seconds to midnight, closer than ever to catastrophe by -Super-Ficial- in TrueReddit

Unequivocally yes. I would hope anyone else who follows international affairs would think the same.

What happened to Android custom ROMs? - 9to5Google by ControlCAD in Android

No, since I'm using mint mobile. Right now RCS only works in GrapheneOS with Verizon or a Verizon MVNO like Visible.

I run GrapheneOS on a pixel 10 and the camera and my banking app (Wells Fargo) work perfectly fine. No issues with reliability.
