Yeah, it’s just always set off my Spidey tingles.

Even if well intentioned, it’s shitty journalism

Parts of the ocean are colder and several species are having issues locating new spawning grounds.

I remember hearing of a corodile species or something that recovered due to a new power plant discharging warm water.

Overall ocean temps rising is a problem, but the real problem is becoming more uniform temps.

Cold spots are getting warmer. But warm spots are getting colder too. And especially for fish and reptiles. They need warm spots to spawn.

Ecologically speaking this is likely to be a good thing and within a couple years this could be a very important habitat that people are talking about and acting shocked about.

Even tho logically it’s obvious

That website is always big on emotions with little to no information. I don’t know why people post it so often.

It’s exploiting basic human psychology.

We’re not built to care about millions of people, even caring about a thousand is an abstract concept, which is difficult. We can handle 100-200 individuals, that’s the group size we evolved to interact with.

That’s why rural folk care about their town/county and the next one over stays rivals despite being the closest to their situation.

To get people to understand large populations, they need taught a bunch of stuff that America stopped teaching 30 years ago under GW Bush. Even before that, the groundwork to replace civic pride with obedience to authority was laid generations earlier, back during the Cold war and McCarthyism.

A large part of that was conditioning Americans to be loyal to the government instead of their fellow citizens.

It works best in rural areas because they don’t have as much day to day interactions. Someone in NYC has more than 200 people just on their block or maybe even in their building. They’re constantly interacting with strangers they don’t know, and subconsciously stop recognizing strangers as immediate threats.

If you only see the same 200 people, a stranger is something our monkey brains demand attention. You’re always worried about strangers and what they’re doing. That’s why kids going to college tend to be one more leftwing, it’s just being socialized with a wider range of people, it has nothing to do with actual learning subject matter.

Just being around enough “strangers” that your monkey brain accepts that people you don’t know aren’t default threat.

It’s why “the right” pushes so hard against inclusive children’s media, studies have shown repeatedly that even seeing different groups interacting on TV is enough to calm the monkey brain about people who look/talk/act differently.

For decades they haven’t wanted to do any of that stuff tho…

Neoliberals were just Republicans who realized they can make a shit ton of money by running as Dems but still doing anything wealthy donors want.

Don’t forget Bill and Hillary hung out with trump and even went to one of his weddings. They hated him, but he gave them money so they kept him happy. The guy who never pays anyone, was a reliable Dem donor for decades.

trump wasn’t the only shit ag making sure both options were shit, and the reason their freaking out now is neoliberals no longer control the DNC, for the first time in ~30 years the wealthy have a chance to lose an election in a few years.

If that happens, that hypothetical progressive government would put guns on a back burning.

The biggest reason for American gun violence, is Americans (especially young ones) feel like they don’t have anything to lose

Fix those other problems, and people have something to lose, and they won’t keep doing what Americans been doing.

What maintenance?

If the server is in the same room with you, you don’t need to over build. If it’s at the bottom of the ocean, you build it not just with redundant internals, you package reduncancies in full moduales.

If module 1 has a problem, switch to back up, and swap module 1 for a new full module.

They’re not opening shit up and exposing it to sea water, everything will be in water proof containers, and you just hook up a couple connectors.

The only “maintenance” underwater will be unplugging something to raise it and connecting the replacement you sank.

As far as heat exchange, it happens all around it. Not just natural circulation, hot water rises and cold water sinks.

Even in a lake with no currents, if it’s deep enough that produces flow on its own.

Those are symptoms not the problem.

The problem is we’re densely packed and scarce on resources. Humans adapted for that, because we populate insanely fast and would constantly hit the limit that land could support.

The downside is that adaptation was us killing each other in the absence of natural predators.

It’s all wired up inside of us, like the same neurochemical that causes group/family bonding making people (especially men) have very strong negative feelings about anyone they weren’t exposed to when young, because those groups didn’t make the cut for “in-group”.

None of this is new and it shouldn’t be shocking.

The oligarchs have been exploiting it for centuries. Everytime there’s one dude with everyone else’s money, he’s always pointing to an out-group member and blaming them.

We don’t have time to treat symptoms anymore, we need to fix the actual problem: oligarchs.

We really really need to address the critical thinking skills in this country…

providing $4 billion from the state to help close the city’s budget gap, the media was quick to frame it as if Mamdani and the city were spending irresponsibly. “Hochul forks over another $4B to bail out Mamdani’s NYC budget woes,” the New York Post complained. The right-wing Center Square agreed, also calling it a “bailout,” a word that also seems to have become a talking point of Hochul’s Republican opponent, the far-right Bruce Blakeman of Long Island.

Lol…

It’s hard to make it thru a Jacobin article these days, but I don’t know why they didn’t just point this out:

New York City contributed 54.5%, or $68.8 billion, of state revenues whereas the rest of the state contributed 45%, or $57.5 billion. When place of residence is used, New York City contributed 46.7% of total revenue

And:

New York City received 40.5%, or $47.6 billion, of State Operating Expenditures, whereas the rest of the state received $69.7 billion, or 59.5%

https://islg.cuny.edu/blog/fiscal-flow-nyc-albany-press-release

NYC paid 21.2 billion into state coffers than it got out…

A 4 billion “bailout” doesn’t even cancel it out for the current year.

That’s all that needs to be said when people claim this is a “bailout”. It’s NYCs fucking money, cities all over subsidize rural areas, which would be fine if people understood what was happening and were grateful, but every rural area wants to kill the cities keeping them alive, because cities vote D.

He won’t get elected, it’s a moot point.

A republican with a D by their name will never beat a Republican with an R by their name.

He’s running in the dem primary because a progressive with a D by their name could beat a Republican in the general. Not saying they will, just that they’d have a chance.

And this asshole would rather have a foaming at the mouth maga win then a progressive. So he’s running in the d primary to stop progress.

It’s textbook neoliberalism. He’s not trying to win the general, he’s trying to break the only other option for it.

Buddy…

What the actual fuck do you think happens if Republicans just run under (both of) the only two parties?

And why are you acting like the primary is over and we have to accept this bullshit?

The primary is in June, if we can’t talk about primary candidates before a primary…

Just…

Do you know anything about this at all?

It feels like you have no idea what’s happening here, just kneejerk defending actual Republicans openly attempting to inflitrate the only other option because he said “trump bad” which, fucking newsflash buddy, everyone else running in Dem primaries agree with.

That’s not the only bar for being a Dem, and the last decade should show you it’s not enough to win a general.

Right…

And if OP had linked that, it would have made sense.

Instead they linked a pay walled summary of something that people could actually read. Which was pointless.

Edit:

Likely due to OP “headline shopping”…

The one people can actual read would have had to be titled:

Systematic partisan content skews in TikTok during the 2024 US elections

OP wanted something that looked like an academic study but had a editorialized headline…

And if you want that, you can’t link real studies, the best you can do is summaries, which are published like a study but isn’t abstudy

Why would you post a pay walled study?

It doesn’t even show the abstract, this post is pointless except to people who only read headlines and never understand anything…

For fucks sake…

When Republicans get “too extreme” the moderate ones need to stay over there and drag them back to the left some.

If they “become Dems” by slapping a D at the end of their name, they drag the Dem to the right.

Fuck this piece of shit and every other coward that’s doing this.

All it does is move the Overton window right, we don’t need another round of neoliberalism

Luckily the DNC knows that a shite platform and won’t try to force it on a larger stage.

Dem voters need to vote for something. Republicans want something to vote against.

Conway is a Republican, and with that comes with shit empathy and the inability to understand people think differently.

That’s why even tho he has a D by his name, he’s running this kind of campaign. And if elected he won’t do anything to help his voters, he’ll copy MTG and just want to yell and get headlines.

Fuck this guy, Dem voters deserve better.

Yeah, it’s not even a “stethoscope”…

The device, manufactured by California company Eko Health, is about the size of a playing card. It is placed on a patient’s chest to take an ECG recording of the electrical signals from their heart, while its microphone records the sound of blood flowing through the heart.

The people selling it know hospitals want “ai” so they don’t have to pay doctors.

So slap “ai” on it, pretend it’s a new version of old tech, and then journalists write shit headlines and people post it when they’d never talk about a legit medical breakthrough.

This is boring, but actually pretty useful. That’s just not how you sell products in a capitalist dystopia…

So we kind of come full circle. Hell, just the fact that we have to advertise medical advancements is pretty cyberpunk if you think about it. We’re just used to it, which is why our dystopia is boring

If you want to waste time having a discussion about this monkey go right ahead

Even this…

Valid point that this is a waste of time, but if you hadn’t typed that it would already be over.

They’re definitely using it like “bullying”.

As in it’s upfront and in people’s faces?

I’ve never heard it used that way but in context it makes sense. I just immediately pictured the Workaholics episode where they had “Christian Strongmen”.

Muscular Christian nationalism

Somebody’s gonna rip a phone book in half…

But even with the power of God Almighty, no Christian warrior can rip the Epstein Files in half.

It’s not that what you’re saying is false, it’s that there’s no logical connection to the discussion…

Like you’re just saying random things about the subjects of discussion, with no regard to topic

Like, if I said Starlink was causing satellite pollution, and you replied “Elon got his dick mangled trying to make it bigger”…

Even if true, it’s just derailing any attempt at conversation, and who really knows if it’s true?
