Oregon lifts ban on self-serve gas, leaving N.J. as the only state prohibiting it
  • Self serve drives up gas prices due to insurance. Insurance goes up due to a couple of people smoking while filling gas and gas station without anyone being the favorite place for looters. The self serve campaigns advertise how gas will come down due to it, but it actually goes up. So question is who you want to pay - insurance companies or min wage employees...

  • Sorry but I gave you my best effort with the ingredients I had
  • The designed part is probably not even edible - probably glued and held by wires.

  • Reddit mods fear spam overload as BotDefense leaves “antagonistic” Reddit
  • Reddit drama has been like when city sanitation worker strike. For 2-4 weeks, no one cares. Then everything start to smell like shit...

  • Twitter threatens to sue Meta over the new Threads app
  • If our media was free, they would be ridiculing this action, and calling for more rights of employees.

    If courts made sense, they would throw this case before hearing it to not waste time.

    If unions were functional, they would have …

    Unfortunately, none of that is true and here we are.

  • Meta will kill small instances! Please read.
  • People forget. They go for convenience. That is how we ended up in our present state. Facebook led efforts against net neutrality too in some countries. But how many know/remember that? Amongst all other things they did.

  • I read the research paper and went through the questions.

    More republicans correctly labelled 4/10 false headlines. More Democrats in 6/10 headlines.
    More republicans correctly labelled 2/10 true headlines. More democrats in 8/10 headlines.

    Young people in general labelled true headlines as false showing larger mistrust of media.

    Most people who say they use the AP as a news source (55%) land in the highest-scoring category.

    People who get their news from National Public Radio, Axios, HuffPost, and PBS are more likely than consumers of most other outlets to be in the highest-scoring group. Consumers of MSNBC, The Hill, Reuters, Politico, and the Washington Post also do comparatively well on the test.
    worst performers generally are social media platforms. That includes Snapchat (53% of people who get news from it land in the lowest-scoring category), Truth Social (45%), WhatsApp (44%), TikTok (41%), and Instagram (38%).

    The BI headline is clickbait which is to be expected from a 'news source' where company partners collaborate with journalists for 'leak' in order to undermine other partners for promotion.

  • US Supreme Court blocks student loan forgiveness plan
  • Lets be honest - the plan was an overreach. This had to pass through congress. So SC is not wrong.

    But it couldn't pass through congress because of lobbying. Which was bribery made legal by SC. Which was a very controversial decision. But if Roe could be overturned, we should focus on getting Citizen United overturned. And America will be great again.

    But for that US should be united. And that will not happen because all the oligarchs domestic and abroad make sure of that and they lobby secretly and hard. You have Saudis, Chinese buying corporations influencing US decision making. You have Russian interference. European banks also service these oligarchs, so its in their interest too. Now other countries with oligarchs are jumping in too. And they put smokes and mirrors in front of you to keep you off from the real goal - creating issues where there should be none. To keep America divided.

    So its a long attrition based slug war which can only be fought when we love our fellow Americans and stop listening to hate everywhere around us. And realize that all politicians are evil, so you have to keep them pressed. They will not share power, we the people have to be strong and take the power from them.

    No one can destroy US. Only US can destroy US.
