I'm skeptical about accusations of gerrymandering in congressional districts.

Sure, it's obvious when you have a district that is shaped really oddly, but at the same time what do you even do about this? If I took a state that has, say, seven districts, and I knew nothing about this state's demographics voting habits or whatever, and I drew a random grid on the map that gave seven roughly evenly shaped districts, the democrats would probably accuse me of gerrymandering since that map would most likely favor republicans in most states.

The fact that you guys live in cities packed like sardines makes it really had to make fair districts that don't obviously favor one side or the other.

This is apocalyptic when you consider that it's the highest IQ countries that this is the most true for.

Oi you got a loicense to be makin fun of ah Bri'ish accent?

Someone should make a new version of Frogger that instead of frogs crossing a road it's Indians crossing train tracks

HORRIFIC: A 20-year-old North Carolina woman is fighting for her life after she was SET ON FIRE while walking to the store, cops say they have no leads in the case

I can't tell you who did this but I can probably tell you what color he was

Elon Musk banned DRG account because of this comment. It's a common experience we have all had.
@AmericanGreyson

Elon, we WOULD be the winning team if tech companies would stop discriminating against us with DEI policies, stop off shoring out jobs, and actually train us in the relevant skills. This is how it was up until like 6-7 years ago and we were the winning team

So I guess the solution is to just import millions of Indians, huh

Fuck this guy and fuck Musk, the bait and switch is clear as day now. These two clowns are determined to drag America kicking and screaming down the same trajectory as Canada.

The H1B visa program should be shut down entirely, and any company that tries to offshore an American stem job should be hit with tariffs so high in response that it's not worth it

Since today is the start of Kwanzaa, we should honor the increased representation of African Americans in recent years on the FBI crime statistics

NYC is losing population and housing costs are still going up there.

Alright, at this point it's either greed or mismanagement or both, it's not even supply and demand anymore that can be blamed for this.

The type of "free market capitalism" that libertarian and ancap types see as ideal is a hypothetical that will never exist in the real world, so there's no point in discussing it

People who have spoken out too eloquently against Elon's migration plans have lost their verification badges and subnoscriptions on X.

What a petty little tyrant.

A sign of things to come.

At least he revealed his true colors a while before the second Trump term begins, not after.

❗️ Israeli soldiers in Yaroun executed the 75 y/o lady Najwa Ghasham inside her house in Yaroun.

Her body was found with bullet holes. She was alive when the ceasefire took into effect and the town has been under Israeli control ever since then.

There is now an Israeli soldier somewhere, that decided to kill this lady, 1.5 years after she stayed at her home in Yaroun despite the war.

@LebUpdate

Israel is a terrorist state

If you live in one of these expensive coastal regions, your options for achieving the American dream are

-go into massive amounts of debt
-get lucky
-inherit a boatload of assets
-somehow cheat your way to the top
-just leave entirely and go somewhere cheaper

Imo with the excessively high cost of living here combined with the social depravity that's so rampant here, just leaving entirely is probably the best option. These places are clearly in a state of decline, but they have a long way to go. Why watch helplessly as this place goes down its terminal death spiral when I can instead go somewhere cheaper and better culturally, and be an active part of that place's upwards trajectory?

I hate these new fangled sleek laptops that don't have much for ports and are super fragile. I miss the days of like 10-15 years go when laptops were these big bulky things that had plenty of ports, never had overheating problems, and if you dropped it on the floor you were more worried about the floor than the laptop.

Ah well, they don't make em like they used to, as with everything else
