How do "concerned Karens" not know they are more likely to cause harm than good nowadays?

I really, really hoped I'd never hear her name again... But how would she ever have standing to challenge the court decision? She's not county clerk anymore.

In 2024, Loomer criticized Graham for having “never been loyal to President Trump” and followed up with, “When is Lindsey coming out of the closet? We all know you’re gay, Lindsey… and that’s ok.”

I sense there is a tinge of the "treacherous homosexual" trope coming up here, from the early 20th Century. Gay people can't be trusted because .

While trans people are the focus of the administration's undoing of civil rights right now, my sixth sense tells me they are coming after all of the LGBTQ+ once they are done "fixing" immigration and lives don't actually improve as promised.

I honestly can't help but thinking that the different media diet nowadays is also a driver of reduced alcohol consumption. If you watch traditional TV and movies, alcohol and drinking are absolutely everywhere and invariably normalized as part of everyday life. Kid has problem in school? Mom drinks a glass of wine. Getting promoted at work, everyone a round of scotch. Vacation doesn't count if there are no umbrella drinks.

You barely see any alcohol at all on TikTok, and I assume it's either forbidden or demonetized on all major platforms. Out of sight, I guess, out of mind.

I fully agree with you: a lot of people shouldn't be on the roads. I am not blaming the need for speed, though. Even in places like Burlingame, with a decent public transportation system, people that shouldn't be on the road and even people that don't want to be on the road are forced to be there because it's near impossible to get from A to B without a car.

That 100% absolutely needs to change.

That's the thing. Imagine you are someone that pisses away 150 million dollars to shoot yourself and your brother-in-law into space, and you can do that every day for the rest of your life and it doesn't even make a dent in your fortune - what on earth (or just outside) do you need it for?

I watched his commencement speech, and he certainly has better ideals than the other Ruin The Planet For A Buck billionaires.

But a billion is a billion. Tax it away, there are far too many people that need that money, desperately, for one to hoard it with no plans to do anything with it.

We will all die in a fireball at the ice cream parlor in the summer!

It would be such a dumb move to reverse a ruling this close to its decision and with such messy consequences for thousands of couples and families, of course they are going to do it.

It's even worse than that! The calories burned show up in the atmosphere as additional CO2! We need to urgently strap everybody to a chair or bed so they stop burning all those calories!!! /s

I think translated from CEO-speak, that means, "Chinese EV manufacturers are currently eating our lunch and dinner with their superior hardware and software and bundling and pricing and we need more than 10 years to get our act together."

This has nothing to do with "Europe's car market." It's all about the market share of European manufacturers. I love them to be strong and healthy, but not at the expense of the planet. Get your act together, you've wasted enough time already.

Man, AOL is so anachronistic, I thought for sure they had just misspelled AOC and was wondering why she had offered dial-up internet service in the first place.
