Household plastic is essentially non-recyclable. No way is plastic waste ever sufficiently sorted by the type of plastic, or cleaned sufficiently from food rests etc. The focus should be on Reduce, Reuse, and properly dispose. That most likely means burning it. Great? No way. Better than in nature? Hell yeah. Better than shipping it to Asia for pretend recycle? Definitely.

Unfortunately Dems can’t keep the Senate if they don’t keep at least keep some rural seats. This time they will certainly lose West Virginia and Montana, and are extremely unlikely to pick up 2 seats somewhere else. Problem is that they are already outperforming in swing states like GA and AZ, so there’s very little upside potential. If by some miracle they win the presidency and both houses of congress, they must prioritise statehood for DC/Puerto Rico if they want any chance in the future.

Call me a conservative, but if you are born with a vagina, and would like to be called a woman, I will use the pronouns she/her. Hope that doesn’t offend progressives like (checking Twitter)… Elon Musk??

This multi-planetary species thing just won’t work. The most likely scenario is that we fail. However, if we succeed the species will split very quickly on account of Mars’ unique evolutionary environment. You would get earth humans and Mars humans, and knowing our nature as a peaceful species, I am pretty sure we’d wipe each other out in no time.

I also struggle to see what she can do. She cannot break with the current administration on foreign policy, given that she is the VP. Simply put, we don’t really know her position, and she can’t reveal it either. Dissatisfying? Sure. Understandable? Definitely.

Again, just not true. From before the pandemic (2019) to now, profits have increased by about 25 percent.

Agreed, but again I would argue that pro interested in policy are likely to vote no matter what.

It’s quite common to test for testosterone. For one because synthetic testosterone is on the doping list. That’s also why the IBA test is so suspicious. If her testosterone was at male levels, that should have been discovered way earlier with a doping test.

There are tons of profits. They are just in the hands of people like Musk/Bezos.

What a ridiculous headline. They asked Trump whether he would ban mifepristone. From Trumps answer it was pretty clear that he has no idea what mifepristone is (which in itself is more damning than the rambling answer he gave).

The annoying thing is that people interested in policy issues have already committed to a party. What’s left are swing voters who (when polled) come up with the most ridiculous reasons for voting for/against a candidate.

Many issues with this headline, but one of them is the word journalist, which implies some form of neutrality. The headline should either be a L out a journalist that writes about antifa, or a pro-facism activist. I suspect from the context (Fox) that it’s the latter.
