Not relevant. Trump voters don't care about reality, while the rest of us do. If the Democrats want to be the party of sane, responsible voters they'll need to put up a sane, responsible candidate.

Be better than Republicans.

When we say "politicians who don't give a shit about you", does that include 80+ year old men who are willing to throw our democracy away as long as they do their "goodest job"? All because they are addicted to power and can't imagine a world where someone is more electable than they are, despite overwhelming statistical evidence to the contrary?

And when we say "career politicians", does that include people that were elected to the Senate 60 years ago when they were in their 20s?

It's #Joever. Time to accept it and move on. Bending over backwards to defend him doesn't make you a hero, it makes you a useful idiot.

I'm guessing the actual prompt was "Generate an image of raw salmon fillets in a river", and the entire point was to meme the hell out of it. Here's what you actually get if you do the test in good faith. No levitating, no raw fillets, just salmon in a river.

ITT: A bunch of folks who didn't read the article.

The article didn’t say young people were doing worse than before, which it seems like all of you assumed.

The reason the study found for why youth is no longer one of the “happiest times” is because they showed that people only do better and better as they age. So whereas before your youth would be comparatively happier to your 'mid-life crisis', they’re saying that crisis doesn't occur anymore and we just get happier and happier into midlife and old age. So your younger days didn't get worse, they just aren't as great in comparison because the rest of your life gets so much better as time goes on.

Sounds crazy, I know. But that's what the article was actually saying.

Unfortunately, the facts don't agree with your feelings.

Louisiana leads the country for the number and percentage of homes that have had more than three flood claims filed on the same property.

This is good news, right? The only way we can force wealthy, waterfront homeowners to move back from the coasts that are going to be increasingly hit by hurricanes is to stop insuring their idiotic behavior. This is a necessary adaptation to the climate crisis in a place where the reality of the issue seems to have overcome the partisan divide.

Seems like this would be a policy democrats and progressives would be cheering for, no?

Most carjackers don't use guns.

I haven't made any arguments to "bad faith". I just saw OP saying the father should face gun charges, and that's a topic I know a bit about, so I thought I'd chime in with a quick fact check. I never said the father wasn't a piece of shit or that he shouldn't go to jail.

If you’re going to fight a just but losing battle, fight the one that informs all others that won’t get rotten fruit unfairly pelted at you in the public square.

Love this line. I've been eating a lot of fruit here on Lemmy. Going to have to put some thought into this one.

I'm linking to peer-reviewed scientific studies over here. If you want to dispute what I'm saying, avoid the genetic fallacy and engage with the substance.

By "lower-status", I meant lower socioeconomic status. Less education and less income. The two things women primarily judge potential mates on.
