Article didn’t list the bill, and couldn’t find it on the congress.gov website either: https://www.congress.gov/quick-search/legislation?wordsPhrases=&wordVariants=on&congressGroups[0]=0&congresses[0]=119&legislationNumbers=&legislativeAction=108&sponsor=on&representative=&senator=

I won’t believe this happened until I see a reference to the bill.

I didn’t know how I got back to ml lol I’m out

Not the other commenter but the meme infers USSR was better, and infers people knew what was to happen afterwards. Russia was making progress a little bit before Putin. I constantly think about what if I wasn’t adopted. I’ll probably be dead, forced to fight on the wrong side of war in Ukrainian. Then again idk what the USSR would be if it never fallen, completely blocking foreigners from adopting their orphans.

I don’t want to dox anyone or myself. Is this a google issue or did I link it wrong?

Assuming only red states have low population and grows faster is weird, but might be plausible. I could look into historical birth rates of each state, or population changes, comparing them to each other to see if the trends make sense. I assumed (or didn’t think of) there wouldn’t be bias growth rates based on state affiliation (red or blue). My first thought was gerrymandering and could it cause this bias. Either way, I didn’t think about population growth having an inherent bias in this.

I was referencing that website, it kinda lines up around the time the parties switched. The party switch could be another result or part of the cause of that inflection point. I realized there could be connection when I was trying to figure out when the parties switched, but I don’t know enough about that history.

I forgot to add: In determining if the state was red or blue at a change point, I looked at the 4 prior election results, and 2 aft election results, 6 total to determine how red, blue, or tied purple it was for that time. It’s the only fudge factor that could be modified because it’s just a guess, but I think the trend will remain even if you modify this (Ex: 3 prior, 1 aft, 2 prior, 1 Aft, etc.)

Withings is a company that makes some health related tech products, like a watch. I bought a scale from them 5 or so years ago.

Well said, can’t upvote this enough.

I’m so ready for something like this. I’ve cleaned up my bookmarks and been waiting for alternatives to search engines.

Stinky tofu. Smelled like literal shit, tasted like literal shit.

3, then 4, then 5… Just like putin.

I don’t mind looking through several pages of results, but the problem is that many results are the same web domains, which causes glazed-over eyes seeing the same results. So, I think it’s the search engine’s fault for this behavior, at least for me.

Hollywood money is highly regulated, and secret service is very strict about it. Adam Savage recently made a YouTube vid about movie money, which has stories about the secret service at the beginning of the video: https://youtube.com/watch?v=drLzVcgnBfI

I stopped using Hulu when it introduced ads over a decade ago and never looked back. The stock of that company did really well despite the cable-like inconveniences.

Paid version of Boost. I could mute things without having an account, because I couldn’t decide on which instance to select. Filters didn’t reset either when I finally got an account. Non-account browsing was limited to lemmy.word pov though. I’ll still shop around if an app catches my eye.

All bugs. I hate them so much, I don’t care if their eradication means the collapse of biological ecosystems. It’s probably an undiagnosed phobia.

I hope there won’t be a series of unfortunate accidents…

I don’t avoid it, but also don’t comment my thoughts and opinions on everything because of narrative rules. I don’t want to be harassed for a difference of opinion.

Also, I used to filter out trump, but stopped because of the upcoming presidential election. I’ll probably filter him out again after the election. I also filter out elon musk.

Recently came across project 2025, which is a plan to upend the government for trump to run it like a dictatorship. It’s actually frightening to even entertain the possibility. And I’m guessing it’s derived from how putin got to his dictatorship position, because trump really likes putin and met with him too often.
