Going to post this as a main comment but two things are true
Hire clowns, get a circus
Y’all need to actually read the article instead of just using it to prove what you already believe. The world is more complicated than a headline
For clarity, this means the stock is back to the price it was in September. I know car-man-bad but I get tired of these sensationalized articles that are only shared because they confirm that someone we like is bad actually
I think you haven’t read the article
Both women literally already got their cars back
They’re suing because the process was, as another commenter said, a huge pain in the ass
“Culley and Sutton’s argument for a separate preliminary hearing appears in many respects to be a backdoor argument for a more timely hearing so that a property owner with a good defense against forfeiture can recover her property more quickly,” he wrote. “But the court’s precedents already require a timely hearing.”
Alabama has since amended its forfeiture law to allow owners of seized property to request expedited hearings.
“Our decision today does not preclude those legislatively prescribed innovations,” Justice Kavanaugh wrote. “Rather, our decision simply addresses the base-line protection of the due process clause.”
Seems like it’s less about civil forfeiture and more about how quickly can they get their property back when civil forfeiture happens
“The World Happiness Report and the Gallup/Meta social connectedness data show peak loneliness for younger Americans. It’s widely recognized that social support and feelings of loneliness are influential factors in determining overall happiness, and these dynamics differ across various age groups,” she said. “The quality of interpersonal relationships may impact the wellbeing of younger and older individuals in distinct ways.”
Pick any point in the last hundred years and you’ll have the world coming apart because of global conflict, assassinations and bombings, or the threat of nuclear catastrophe, all under a backdrop of environmental destruction and pollution. Despite all this the previous generation is reported to be happier
Everything you listed is legit, but it’s our ability to serve up fresh horrors at all hours of the day that has changed.
What’s worse, is that social media gives us the feeling that we’re well informed when we’re actually not. Think of all the people you know who you think are well informed. Journalists, experts, even some bloggers. They didn’t get that way by scrolling for content on social media all the time.
All that to say that I think anyone who uses social media should consider how their media diet effects them
On a personal level it’s one of the reasons I try to use things like reddit (or Lemmy) less and fill my life with things that are more enriching, like books and music
Lord of the Rings?
That’s not very customer obsessed of them
Tldr: Higher resolutions afford greater screen sizes and closer viewing distances
There’s a treadmill effect when it comes to higher resolutions
You don’t mind the resolution you’re used to. When you upgrade the higher resolution will be nicer but then you’ll get used to it again and it doesn’t really improve the experience
The reason to upgrade to a higher resolution is because you want bigger screens
If you want a TV for a monitor, for instance, you’ll want 4k because you’re close enough that you’ll be and to SEE the pixels otherwise.
There is if you use the Cyrillic alphabet because Yandex is Russian
Op is saying it’s a problem of supply not meeting demand
You’re saying that supply can’t meet demand if the rich have infinite demand
These aren’t exactly incompatible. I haven’t seen good evidence that demand from the wealthy explains the massive increase in housing cost, but you can both build more housing to increase supply and try to limit the wealthy buying too much housing. They’re not incompatible
You can’t opt out because it’s included in prime
You don’t have to use it, though, and you don’t have to pay for the ads
Also, ad blockers seem to work pretty well with prime video
From my understanding the use is totally safe
I’m told you could eat big chunks of the stuff and it would pass right through you.
PFAS is so carcinogenic that if you WERE getting some of it in your body from this kind of exposure then we’d see really high cancer rates, the same way we do in factories near it. At least, that’s my conjecture
Minutes food did a good video on it’s safety if you’re interested
Note that it seems to be pretty safe when it’s applied to something. The danger is mostly when it’s applied/created. The big reason to not buy these products and to look for alternatives is that you’re decreasing demand for the products
