I think he really just had to get his rhythm going. Biden was never really a terrific public speaker even at the best of times (Or Obama was just like, absolutely world-class). He did get his promises out, though.

At the end of the day, Biden could have just twerked on stage for 100 min, and I still would have voted for him, as long as he has a plan for the next four years. He’s actually gotten a shocking amount of good stuff done for the average american, though some of it, like rebuilt bridges, high tech factories and prescription caps, might be years away before we reap the full benefits.

Yeah, FWIW, Biden actually talked about expanding stuff like drug price caps to save the government shitloads of money while also saving Americans money as well. Stuff like taxing people making over 400k a year only, lead pipe abatement, funding the ACA more, giving Ukraine the aid it needs to slap the dogshit out of russia, etc etc.

If I had no idea about either president, at leask I know what Biden’s future promises are and what he told us he got done in the past four years, even if he did have some sections where he kind of mucked up like this kid did.

Trump, while sounding more coherent vocally, was entirely all over the place with Afghanistan and immigrants bad (no plan?), and somehow he’s going to win the war in Ukraine and bring the WSJ reporter home, for free, before he’s even elected in just under five months. Oh, and apparently, he hopes he won’t die before then, though he didn’t sound so sure about that last night.

If I was an uninformed voter, I’d be like “Damn, biden is old, but at least he has a plan and a good team judging off his pretty amazing track record” capping insulin at $35 a mo instead of $400 is fucking awesome, not to mention the other drugs too. The massive investment in the US economy was also nice. Battery plants in Georgia, chip fabs across the country, fixing infrastructure cia the bipartisan infrastructure plan…all great stuff.

He is then believed to have continued by saying in Italian that there was, in the Church, already too much of an air of frociaggine (fag***, according to Gtranslate)

Goddamn, apparently I’m missing out on the good shit at church, wtf. They better be at pride this year. 🏳️‍🌈

This was in the 70s and 80s, they probably didn’t have the tech. Kinda old news.

The new hotness is vampire facials at unlicensed clinics. They mix up your own blood with someone else’s, or don’t clean the centrifuge, you get infected.

Paywalled, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it was a Trump elected judge.

“The Russians were surprised when, right after the war started, the Europeans took the exact same measures as the United States, freezing all of the reserves that were there, and the Japanese did the same, which is why most of Russia’s reserves today are frozen in Western banks”

Russia on the worldstage, lol: https://youtu.be/FIc_eKkMJVo

We can’t just kill every animal we don’t like. Elephants, wolves, bears, etc. all play an incredibly important role in the health of our ecosystems and help keep plants and animals healthy. Sometimes, they keep nuisances at bay, too, or keep stuff like prion diseases in check.

I get that elephants can eat crops or wolves can eat cattle, but we’ve managed to build space shuttles and end worldwide diseases through amazing vaccine campaigns. I’m sure we can rewild some major areas and build better, non-lethal deterrants in others.

It’s helped restore Yellowstone’s biodiversity and drive incredible amounts of tourism after the wolves were reintroduced.

Six modern ships doesn’t seem like enough to counter an aggressive Russian or Chinese navy. If Ukraine falls, Europe is next. I hope Germany is putting R&D into droneships and anti-ship missiles like Ukraine is doing.

I would not be surprised if Russia and China form an uneasy alliance in a future war to distract from problems at home.

If we are going to go further into space, we are going to need much larger space stations that can store supplies, materials, and much more research equipment and scientists. The ISS is a fucking broom closet, lol. This is charting a path to get us closer to research stations on other planets too, which are also needed for such ventures. Mining will come eventually, after orbital stations and lunar research facilities :)

Technologies like skyhooks could help us cut costs significantly with spacetravel between planets or for shipping materials around.

You gotta get a bit creative when fisting.

In that article, the big ones were both engines failing simultaneously and the landing gear not deploying xD

I’m really glad I’m not on their raggedy planes. Skipping failed safety certs and flying with broken components in the name of an pointless war is going to get passengers killed.

Be careful, this source has a history of low credibility and very limited press freedom.

“Since 2004, in France, religious signs and symbols have been banned in schools, including headscarves, kippas and crosses,”

I agree with it, not in the “hah, we are dunking on minorities” way, but just because I’m personally so sick of religion being a part of every waking moment of life and being used as a cudgel to influence public policy, media, and what choices people can make when it comes to important personal choices, such as healthcare. Of course, this is being viewed through my American lens, but we’ve seen similar erosions in public institutions due to so-called “religious rights” despite being a secular country. While France’s version is fairly blunt, it seeks to normalize and equalize everyone, which I think is a decent goal.

If it wasn’t religion, I’m positive it would be something else. But I think it’s very healthy to maintain separation of religion while at public institutions, particularly in a world where religious extremism is on the rise.
