Food is more abundant, less expensive and a lower portion of most people's consumption baskets than it used to.

It was one of those cases where I messaged and she never replied but i remembered her name since she noted she was an elected official in her profile had total whiplash when I saw her running for Congress.

fun fact i matched with this girl on a Muslim dating app once

Better yet just do a VAT.

Even Shapiro is anti Bibi lol

electorate is fully calcified

It was already going to be likely when Khamenei passed, he was the single biggest ideologically force against it, but they’re definitely going to accelerate now

Absolutely this. My brother is a surgeon; he's used Claude to write an app for his patients. It's not a masterpiece and it won't change the economy, but it is easier for them than trying to fill in timesheets of how much exercise they are able to take. Sensible scepticism has to recognise reality.

I went on here for the first time in a while and the first thing I saw was him being called a Nazi collaborator. Logged out immediately

The Jamelle Bouie pile on is truly embarrassing stuff and why no one wants to be on here.

That's fair, guess it depends on how much you expect the front office to navigate those waters. Atlanta was kind of in that gray area last year and chose not to extend, we'll see if the Wizards have the same kind of foresight.

Considering they're not talking extension and "being cautious" with his injury, they're still getting their pick and there's a clean break if things don't work out. I don't really see the downside here.

it is extremely funny that xenophobia targeting Americans in particular makes these sweaty, desperate attempts to present itself as a type of cosmopolitanism

I think a key problem is that to most critics, it must be everything. It has to destroy the environment, eliminate every job, enable a fascist takeover, melt our brains, all while being a uninspired, unremarkable piece of boring technology that also doesn't work.

Basically every ai-liker on this website has very nuanced views and hates the standard tech bro. To critics, we are indistinguishable.

I bet a poll of the top ai defenders on this website would show overwhelming support for video generation being banned.

It's probably going to be my next car after my 2012 Accord bites the dust

Mazda being number 3 is a game changer...it's sells really cheap used for some reason

Him resigning in disgrace doesn't mean anything to me, Trump was impeached twice, left office in disgrace and performed better than 2016. Multiple disgraced people are in positions of power. People have never had shorter memories.

Nah I'd argue the opposite, Cuomo's strength as a candidate is being distorted by Mamdani beating him. I don't think it projects nationally but Cuomo is historically an electoral juggernaut and was lapping the field when Zohran had no name ID. He's not what he was but not below replacement level IMO

The AMI for a family of 4 in Fairfax County is 161k. Somehow raising your income by 14% takes you from poverty to being the median family in one of the wealthiest counties in the United States

Trump being a disgraced former President didn't seem to dissuade people for voting for him because they thought the economy was good under him! The Cuomo stuff was just as long ago. Insane to think that his name just doesn't matter in this, he was dominating polls all cycle in the primary.

The post does address this but does so in a handwavy way and the author just assumes that because Cuomo is a disgraced former governor that his previous name ID doesn't factor in. Insane levels of motivated reasoning.

this is kind of hilarious lmao

Last night was mostly a win for the moderate Dem crowd, but it's worth noting that Jack Ciattarelli tacked hard to the center in a state Trump was within 6 points and it still didn't matter one bit. National environment dictates all.

It's worth noting Spanberger is on pace to outrun Ghazala Hashimi by 3-4 points. To the extent she is overperforming due to her specific ability to grab swing voters, that is probably closer to the margin than how she's performing compared to Harris.

Does Nate Silver of all people really not understand one of the fundamental laws of OLS? You can't regress a modeled estimate on something correlated with the things used to calculate that estimate. It's one of the cardinal sins of statistics.

Me too although I'm saying this purely on vibes and my opinion of how American voters see Muslim politicians

I've had an HSA for 3 years now and this is going to be the first year I end up using some of it instead of hoarding for retirement. Physical therapy is not cheap! Although, it will probably help in retirement not to have a fucked up back.

It's entirely obvious that he is working backwards from his theories on American politics

His response to people telling him about it is that they moderated but didn't try as hard as they could. Not joking.
