This plus all the targeted right-wing algorithm rabbit holes that every social media site pushes its young users towards now.
Shai went 4-13 and his team still won by 50, not my mvp it is what it is
I’ve never understood the Boston Pizza brand. There are multiple US cities with unique or famous Pizza styles (NY, St. Louis, Chicago…), and Boston is definitely not one of them.
Even without the current geopolitical climate, I think they’d be better off with a new name.

Yep, if you open any subreddit (not including the reddit.com front page), it sprinkles days old posts in with the default “Best” filter. It’s a mystifyingly annoying change because from a user perspective you have to re-read the same post multiple times each week, and there’s no point further commenting on those threads because no one else is still engaging with them.
It’s like the worst of all worlds combination of old forums and old Reddit, because old threads keep getting necro-ed, but users have no control over which ones are coming back or when they do.
I like that on Lemmy you can comment on a 20+ hour old thread from the “front page” and still have a good chance at responses or interaction from other users.
Any subreddit that regularly hits the front page of Reddit requires that users comment in the first hour or two of the post being made, or latch onto some chain from the top existing comments, or else your comment is basically just thrown into the void. It’s even worse now that Reddit has started showing day or week old posts on the front page, like why bother commenting on those posts when absolutely no one will see it…
The most expensive iPhone retails for $1200, with a manufacturing price of ~$500 and net profit of ~$700.
So if an iPhone costs $3500 to make domestically, then Apple would need to sell it for $4200 to make the same profit. But even if Trump levies his 100% tariff on China, it would still be significantly cheaper for Apple to make iPhones in China and pay 2x the manufacturing costs ($1000), add the same $700 profit, and just charge $1700 for the same model.
So in the end no new domestic manufacturing jobs are made, Apple, an American company, loses business because less people would buy at a higher price, and American consumers get shafted.
Look up China’s final warning. Ironically it’s Trump whose the one issuing the “warning” with these tariffs that he is never actually going to follow through with (see: him caving today).
Chess is thousands of years old, but many popular variants like Fischer random or blitz are recent developments. Even auto chess is technically inspired by chess and now has millions of active players.
Despite borrowing principles from the original chess (which itself has changed quite a bit since inception) each of these games is substantially different from one another. You can call them recycled ideas, but I would just call it innovation.
People have said the same thing about music forever. Chess, which is just 16 pieces on an 8x8 board, famously has more possible game sequences than their are atoms in the universe. And modern video games have infinitely more variables than just 16 pieces constrained to 64 tiles.
It’s just a joke reference to some people who hold onto a domain specifically for their pet project that they aren’t actively pursuing. I’m sure it doesn’t apply to everyone
Minneapolis except the airport is a legit hub (thanks Northwest), and instead of mayor it’s the DA.
I live in Canada, you’re preaching to the choir
Also economically it’s beneficial for Alaska to be a unique US state in terms of tourism and resource offerings. If Canada joined the US, Alaska loses a big aspect of their unique identity to BC/Yukon/NT.
Actually checking the name and address against the voting registration record, without an additional ID check, really is enough to validate someone in like 99.999999% of cases. In order for someone to impersonate someone else while voting, they would need to:
-Know their name
-Know their address
-Know their designated polling place and physically visit it to cast a ballot
-And most importantly, they would need to know that the person they’re impersonating is not going to vote in that election. Because otherwise as soon as they do, it’s going to flag a voter fraud alert when one voter appears to be voting twice. Which is a federal crime that is taken very seriously and easy to track down, because it occurs so infrequently and there’s surveillance at every polling location
So an imposter would be risking federal prison time in order to swing an election by one vote. It’s something that happens like a single digit number of times per election.
Compare that to the hundreds or even thousands of times that people work 8+ hour days (since elections in the US are never on holidays), get to their polling place that closes as early as 6pm, and then find that they’ve forgot to bring or lost their ID, and then won’t or can’t vote in the election. The current system works fine, ID laws are 100% just a voter suppression tactic.
I think that’s a local state or city requirement, I’m not sure I’ve ever had to sign for a ballot.
