I saw a YT vid where they mentioned that you hear things differently at a 45 degrees angle because of the different heights of your ears. So it makes sense as a behavior associated with trying to better understand and observe something.

That and the crisis of masculinity in a machismo culture which is being actively used against them by idiots everywhere.

Simple TL;DR by me:

Dicamba has been known to cause drift and damage many other plants and has been rejected by the courts at least twice in the past. This is all after a corrupt lobbyist that has a track record of being pro-harmful pesticides like glyphosate has been appointed to part of the EPA and flys in the face of promises of RFKj's MAHA.

EPA has had seven long years of massive drift damage to learn that dicamba cannot be used safely with GE dicamba-resistant crops," said Bill Freese, science director at the Center for Food Safety, in a statement.

"If we allow these proposed decisions to go through, farmers and residents throughout rural America will again see their crops, trees, and home gardens decimated by dicamba drift, and natural areas like wildlife refuges will also suffer," he warned. "EPA must reverse course and withdraw its plans to reapprove this hazardous herbicide."

"This is what happens when pesticide oversight is controlled by industry lobbyists," he charged. "Corporate fat cats get their payday and everyone else suffers the consequences."

The Post asked the EPA whether Kunkler's recent appointment influenced the dicamba decision. In response, Vaseliou said that the "EPA follows the federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act when registering pesticides" and any insinuation otherwise was "further 'journalism' malpractice by The Washington Post."

After Kunkler's new job was made public last month, the Environmental Working Group (EWG) also flagged his "years of advocating against restrictions on farm chemicals such as glyphosate and atrazine," and stressed that "these are the very pesticides singled out in Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s 'Make America Healthy Again' report for their potential links to chronic illness in children."

"The appointment of Kyle Kunkler sends a loud, clear message: Industry influence is back in charge at the EPA," said EWG president Ken Cook at the time. "It's a stunning reversal of the campaign promises Trump and RFK Jr. made to their MAHA followers—that they'd stand up to chemical giants and protect children from dangerous pesticides."

Not to be a doomer, but it feels like the skill floor to protecting my privacy is unbearably high and getting higher. Does anyone have a good resource about it?

I mean, her campaign was pretty awful in a lot of ways. It started out strong but since the DNC it was misstep after misstep. I dunno about you, but I love hearing the president say they'll only be different than Biden, because they'll have more Republicans in their cabinet. I love hearing they're going to build the wall. I love hearing them talk all the time about the fact that Cheney endorsed them. I love hearing how profracking they are. And I love their silence on the genocide in Gaza. Certainly, sexism and racism plays a role, but let's not kid ourselves here.

Mushrooms are actually incredibly good for you. They are one of the cleanest sources of protein you can get and actually have many incredible health effects. Also, they are fucking delicious. Here's a good link to learn more. 🍄 https://youtu.be/KEa8W0OneH4

I'm a big hugger. I wish that there was more affection between men, I often worry I'm making other men uncomfortable and then in turn I get uncomfortable about it. The whole thing makes me far more stressed than I wish it did honestly.

This is a classic conservative line of thinking. It's not true. It's simplistic. It makes people who believe it feel like they are smart and hard-core. And the rich want them to believe it, so they pay people to say it loudly and often.

People are not all good or all bad. They have some good views and some bad views, and they can change. They are regularly swayed by the constant stream of propaganda being pumped out. Even so, most everyone wants the world to be a better place, and they are mad it's not.

Thoughts like this are what push people further right. "People are bad. Therefore, if the world is to be better, we should punish those people." Convservatives basically become masochistic and sadistic through these lines of thinking. Punish me, father, I'm a sinner. It's a very effective mechanism for control.

The reason that the left thinks reactionaries would agree with them is because in many instances they already do. Reactionaries are just reacting to the constant stream if propaganda being pushed their way. But often, in spite of that, many of them do agree with what the left stands for they just don't know the left stands for it. Most of the policies the left pushes have broad public support. People just don't know the left is the side fighting for things they agree with. Or they're convinced that the left is fighting for it in a way that is incorrect. They are too "extreme."

These all have broad public support

  • Universal Health Care

  • Higher taxes on the rich

  • Expanding social security

  • Investing in public infrastructure

  • Faster and cheaper internet for all

  • Legalizing weed

  • Paid family and sick leave

  • Cheaper college and student loan relief

  • Worker's rights and union support

  • Criminal justice reform

  • Universal background checks

  • Reproductive rights

  • Lgbtq rights

  • Environmental protections

  • Climate change action

  • Green energy investment

These are the things the left is fighting for.

The comments on this article are really interesting

They are filled with people saying that this is a very poorly written article about an interesting topic.

From what I can glean with my limited knowledge. This insanely high "temperature" of 30-50k, is actually how the author is trying to represent the speed of particles. However, the insanely small amount of particles means the "temperature" is almost imperceptible. I think? This is why Voyager was able to cross this barrier with no issues. As one commenter put it, an astronaut in a space suit would not be able to notice the difference.

Also, the article talks about why this phenomenon occurs, it's the sun's magnetic field. And inside the field, it's like an atmosphere that is different than outside. And the winds outside move a lot faster. Even though the particles are few and far between. As the sun moves throughout space it's magnetic field creates an effect similar to that of a ship moving through water. Also, the magnetic field itself fluctuates with the sun so it's shape and size changes. I thought that was pretty interesting.

Also, someone commented something questioning how the Voyager, a half-a-century-old device, could accomplish this and still communicate with us. And another commenter responded that it's actually pretty amazing. Because we are only able to communicate with it still because we have upgraded our sensors on earth and because the Voyager itself is still pointed towards earth.

Horay! Plus a little war profiteering; supporting a bit of genocide never hurt right? Not like his is the first administration to do it.

I don't really understand why people get so aggro like this and start fat shaming. Like, do you react this way whenever someone smokes cigarettes or drinks alcohol? It's other people's bodies. I have honestly never heard anyone say these excuses. I normally see fat people shaming and beating up on themselves. This kind of shit makes them feel like it's not even okay to be seen because of this shit. Shame is not the answer.
