Sure ok but that’s pretty meaningless at this juncture.

Rigged machines aren’t going to save us

Partly, yes. But also partly because world leaders have realised that if you don’t want the US to fuck you up the ass you need to say nice things to Trump, preferably combined with gifts.

Hol up. Didn’t NATO guy wank all over daddy’s boobs already?

Whether to forgive a cheating partner is a divisive issue. Some people say it’s something they could never move past, others just don’t think it’s a big deal.

I don’t think it’s necessarily men or women - its both. Probably more men commented on your boyfriend’s post because he’s a man.

I can imagine it would be a pretty awful feeling to be in your position - you’ve acknowledged that you messed up, you’ve worked through it with your partner, and now all these people casting judgement on you without understanding the circumstances.

There’s a lot of different aspects to this. The web is full of “drama llamas”. My guilty pleasure is reading /r/aitah posts, even though I know they’re fake it’s still really engaging and reading everyone’s comments is interesting. People say things online that they would just never say to your face. So comments are way more hurtful.

My advice has two parts:

ask your boyfriend to delete the post because the people commenting don’t really know you or the situation and it’s very hurtful

Secondly think through what you would tell a good friend who had been through something like this, it’s probably something like "yeah you did mess up, but everyone does sooner or later, you’ve learned a lot and you’ve worked through it, " et cetera.

Reminds me of this time last year when Trump was on trial for a half dozen things.

Everyone was all like “ooh it would be so undemocratic to try someone while they’re campaigning”.

Meanwhile republicans can just uncitizen anyone they don’t like.

You can’t win if no one is playing by the rules.

That’s a pretty thin connection. If that’s the requirement, more or less everything political.

There is no law banning dog walking, therefore any discussion about dogs is political!

Sure so maybe /c/regulatorybodies then.

What does this have to do with politics?

Musk is a train wreck that was briefly engaged in destroying the public service in the US. That doesn’t mean that everything tangentially associated any company associated with him is politics.

Yeah. There’s a correlation vs causation problem here that I don’t really have the answers to.

In other words I think that’s reductive.

Hillary was Hillary and didn’t take Trump seriously.

Kamala was run without much planning and forethought.

AOC might be a woman, and I take your point that may not be in her favor, but she has many virtues that may outweigh that disadvantage.

I had a feeling this would lead nowhere.

precisely the point I was trying to make.

I think we need to wait and see how things shake out. If she can demonstrate broad based support then why not run her.

If it’s only lefties who love her, then she’s not the right choice.

It’s hyperbolic, as headlines always are.

Trump “completely loses it” all the time because he seems to have complete undying loyalty from everyone around him. There are no negative consequences for these outbursts.

Oh man.

My comment was intended to imply that the term “hacking” defies definition because it has been grossly overused and misconstrued over many decades.

Sure you might be able to convey what it means to you but of course it means different things to everyone else, with each definition being equally appropriate.

Er go, any discussion is one of semantics.

Define hacking.

Generally evidence is needed to arrest someone.

Super frustrating article to read.

A single person being stabbed isn’t a “major incident” if you’re the chief of police or whatever a prefect is.

If only there were some way that the people could kind of ha e their say and direct lawmakers th address some of these problems. The people need to choose some kind of representative that propose and pursue these changes. Imagine if you could just kind of “poll” the will of the people and add up everyone’s choices to choose a representative.

I’m a tax consultant, so I see a lot of people’s side hustles.

As other’s here have said, once you monetise a hobby it’s not a fun hobby anymore… just another responsibility.

Take the beads thing for example. Carving some beads to make some cool jewellery sounds like a great hobby, and you could make some really amazing unique gifts for family. However, if you want to make money from it then you need to compete with other etsy vendors - you’ll very quickly find the pieces that sell and then it becomes a question of how many of those pieces you can turn out per hour or per day.

Economically, making money requires time, or skill, or capital. The most appropriate will be a mix of all three that fits your circumstances. As a “side hustle” you kinda want a little of each rather than a lot of each. Good examples might be:

• window cleaning - for businesses or residences
• gutter cleaning - get one of those telescopic pole thingies with a camera so you don’t actually need to go on anyones roof
• lawn mowing - just a few customers in your street

These things aren’t “hobbies” but they will be a lot more satisfying, enjoyable, and profitable than carving beads.

That’s i good point i guess.

There’s no way to confirm so it’s just a rumour.
