Are you referring to 14A arguments outside of sec. 3? I ask because section 3 has only been applied to one non-confederate

Section 3 has been invoked since the Confederate issue was settled, but just once.

Instead of click Not Interested, I recommend igoring them. It might take a few days or even a week, but I they should start to disappear from your feed

Is that conceptually asinine? Absolutely... But it's your best bet

Personally I don't think we should've been supplying them in the first place for the simple fact that they're more than suitably equipped already

I just think that if the goal is a ceasefire, neither continuing nor halting supplies would really move the needle. Want us to stop supplying them? Fine by me.

Yeah, we could cut off every possible kind of funding to Israel and they'd still have sufficient military resources to level Gaza a hundred times over

They get money based on the resources needed to tackle illegal drug manufacturing/sales/usage

The more widely used an illegal drug is, the more resources they need to fight it

Only engage with things you want to see more of. Downvoting and Not Interested are both forms of engagement.

Engagement metrics allow YouTube to show advertisers that you're actually looking at the page and not just letting it run in the background

It's inherently problematic that the DEA is in charge of scheduling

Rescheduling marijuana would likely lead to a lower budget for the DEA... No way is the DEA going to voluntarily lower the scheduling of such a widely used drug

Oh, absolutely. If you click through to the Quicken press release they have a small section defining their methodology but don't list the specific questions

I wish more people appreciated the lengths that Pew et al. go through to both minimize and recognize sources of bias, confusion, etc

Speaking anecdotally, I've always heard "living paycheck-to-paycheck" to mean having insufficient savings to cover a missed paycheck

I.e. if you don't get an expected paycheck then you cannot pay your monthly debts/utilities/rent and still have enough money to feed.yourself and your dependents

A few additional things to consider:

  • Accrued debt
  • Areas with highest cost of living tend to also be areas with relatively high population density (San Francisco is usually the go-to example for this)
  • Inflexibility of living in austerity
  • Intuit benefits from scaring people in the lower and middle economic classes

Because his legal defense wasn't based on claiming attorney-client; it was based on the idea that he was just asking legal hypotheticals to / legal advice from legal experts

Now two of these lawyers have taken plea deals to (presumably) testify against Trump. Also, by virtue of the guilty plea in this case where Trump is a codefendant, that privilege would likely be voided anyway

That section of the TOS was removed in 2023
