Hurricane Helene could bring "catastrophic and deadly storm surge" to parts of Florida Gulf Coast
  • Why do they say "could" at this point? The operative word here is "will". Using "could" downplay the severity of this and, even if only slightly, lowers the likelihood that people who are in danger will evacuate. Using "could" is irresponsible at this point.

  • The United States Should Steer Toward Better Automotive Data Privacy.
  • How about we steer toward better data privacy in general? Cars are collecting way too much data about us? So is everything else! We need sweeping legislation to claw back our privacy. We need a constitutional amendment guaranteeing a right to privacy.

  • Appalachian-approved
  • I could easily imagine her as either conservative or liberal or somewhere in between or somewhere outside of that whole spectrum. I can't imagine that she is a Trumper.

    I expect that her reason for not sharing her political beliefs is at least somewhat selfish. She has fans across the political spectrum, different segments of whom would certainly be upset by any political position she espoused. It could even be that she's concerned about fans being angry and violent depending on what her views actually are.

    Regardless, the fact that she doesn't use her popularity to influence politics makes me respect her all the more. I my opinion, it's both a smart decision for her, personally, and shows moral character.

  • The winner of every difficulty comparison
  • I need to find an emulated version of this. Mine was faulty and always glitches as soon as you finished this stage so I never got to see neyond it for more than a few seconds. I've always wondered what was there!

  • Fast Food Companies are Using Slave Labor
  • For profit prisons need to be made unconstitutional. If someone is dangerous enough to be in prison, that cost should be borne by the state/federal government. This would reduce the incentive to keep people in prison and would likely lead to some justice system reform.

    The fact that prisons literally profit off of the work of their inmates means the prisons have every incentive to tarnish their I mate's records to keep them in prison as long as possible. This system is also as ripe as can be for corruption.

  • look upon my works ye mighty and despair
  • They still exist, but the Pizza Hut chain and it's remain restaraunts are shadows of what they used to be. Pizza Hut was awesome in the 80's. Now the old one near my house is a church.

  • More Republicans Endorsing Kamala Harris Is Great And All, But It Doesn't Erase Past GOP Harms
  • Are you a troll or dumb? They're not endorsing her because they like her policies. They are endorsing her because she isn't actively trying to subvert our entire government. Yes, even a monster like Dick Cheny endorsed her but he stated that he doesn't like her, he just hates her less than he hates Trump.

  • Protesters outside New York Times demand newspaper 'stop normalizing Trump'
  • How about you go organize a protest in front of another news room? They're doing something. They can't exactly go protest a bunch or organizations at the same time without a ton more people.

    Why are you letting the perfect E the enemy of the good?

  • What would you have done? White guy observing anti-black racism.

    I'm a white guy from a fairly non-diverse city. I was at a grocery store today where a cashier opened up their line to serve me and, I thought, the person behind me. As they were serving me, though, they put up their lane closed sign right in front of the black man behind me. The buy was just trying to purchase some tuna, bread, and peanut butter.

    The cashier basically decided to serve me, a middle class white man, but refused to serve the black man behind me. I was so shocked that I didn't say anything. It is possible that I misunderstood the situation but it seemed so blatant.

    What should I have done in this situation? Should I have spoken up? Would that have just been more embarrassing for the man who was being discriminated against?

    Honestly, I'm still just in shock to see someone treated so poorly when they were simply trying to buy food for themselves. I recognize that means that I'm sheltered but I also feel like I should be able to use my unearned privilege to help others who are being discriminated against.

    [Feature Request] Make it more obvious which user you are currently

    I keep running into issues where I'm unsure of which account I'm currently using. It would be nice if it were more obvious at all times. Two things that would help me are:

    • always display the current user somewhere, regardless of what content is being viewed.
    • allow setting different color themes for different users.

    Some better shots of American White Pelicans from the nearby lake (June 2023, Colorado)

    They decided to give a show today. Six of them were hanging out on the dock, but when I stopped to take pictures, they all decided to take off and do circles over the lake.

    Barn Swallow (Colorado, June 2023)

    I got lucky and this guy posed for me for about five minutes. I tried to get some in flight, but they're simply too fast for me!
