  • Can the public expect to get to see Luigi Mangione's 3 page manifesto in its entirety in a reasonable timeframe?

  • That it could be an incitement to violence is precisely what they will/have argue(d), I would guess.

  • Should Democrats also gerrymander blue states to counterbalance any advantage that republicans have due to the gerrymandering in red states?

  • It's only a non-justicable political question when Republicans do it. That part is written in invisible ink, which is only visible if you sign your entity's legal name diagonally across the written decision with a red pen.

  • Agreed. A more granular map would be interesting to see. I mean, something like 65% of NY state's population live in the NYC metro, which is a tiny part of a deceptively large state.

    Re: Colorado, it's just a relatively healthy state with a general ethos of living well. I think you're seeing some of the urban effect through the Denver, Colorado Springs, etc. and the addition of rural areas of Colorado still having an outdoorsy culture, as well as (often) affluent rather than "rural poor." Colorado has one of the lowest rural poverty rates in the United States.

    And since Colorado would be in the 25-29.9 category now, it's comparable to many states that also have comparable rural poverty rates. The fact that the states with the highest rural poverty also have the highest weights makes me assume obesity rates and poverty rates heavily overlap.

    Edit: to the point, look at the county map for childhood obesity. You can literally point out almost every major city in the United States.

  • Is it possible they're expressing admiration or paying you a compliment and not trying to invoke your smirking condescension?

    Incidentally, according to the most recent CDC numbers, Colorado is no longer "green" on this map, just Hawaii and DC.

    There's only eight states under 30%. West Virgina tops the numbers at 41%.

    ~75% of the United States is classified as overweight or obese, which is staggering. It has to be pretty unevenly distributed even within states, because I live in a college town in a low-middle-weight state, and very few appear obese, and I'm regularly in a nearby major metro, and I don't see a ton of obese people there either. Rural children are 10-15 times more likely to obese, so I'm guessing that is probably a major factor as well.

    25-35% obesity rates covers like 80% of states, so the US is just fat and getting fatter.

  • This person posted this earlier today then deleted it when people started pointing out how gross it is. It's all they've posted about.

    Indulging this person's fetish that they're facilitating by using an LLM isn't a great idea. You're enabling someone who is probably in mental distress, and you're spending way more time on it than they are. He's just throwing responses into an LLM and copying the response over, and he's indulging in the attention. This account is literally only this post and comments.

    It's creepy to think of some low-effort sweat slobbering over the attention from those willing to indulge his AI-constructed fanfic. Gross.

  • Do you think kids should be prohibited from using social media? If yes, how should it be done? If no, why?

  • Yes, parents obviously still pay an important role. But we regulate many things for people under the age of 18 to generally good effect.

    How the Fuck did Trump Actually Win - F.D Singifier

    Jump

  • Trump’s support among women increased in 2024 compared to 2020, despite the common narrative about this. 7% more women voted for him, and this increase wasn’t just among white women. In fact, for the first time since 2016, Trump actually lost support from white women.

    The biggest shifts came from Latinas: 20% more voted for Trump than in 2020, continuing a steady rise in Latina support since 2016. He also gained 5% more support from Asian women. Beyond women, Trump made gains with voters under 30 and most men, but his biggest wins were with Latine voters and the youth vote overall.

    It’s a weird dynamic: an anti-woman political platform seems to increase support from women. Sure, there are probably other big issues at play, but the data suggests targeting women in a platform mainly turns off people with higher education levels—without pushing away women themselves.

  • Would Kamala Harris have won the 2024 election if Latinos didn't shift hard to the right?

    Jump

  • Hmm. An article quoting Pew: "a majority of white women (53 percent) did vote for Trump in the 2024 presidential election, up from 44 percent in 2020 and 39 percent in 2016 per Pew."

    but I think you're right, those numbers sound like all women. I'll edit the post.

  • Latines now make up 20% of the U.S. population, making them the largest minority group. Among the under-18 demographic, that number climbs to nearly 30%. If current population trends hold, Latines are poised to become the largest ethnic group in the country within about 25 years—that’s just three presidential terms away.

    While Latines are a minority ethnicity, they are the largest one and the second-fastest growing, trailing only Asians. Asians, despite having one of the lowest birth rates, experience the highest proportional rate of immigration. Notably, Trump gained 12% of the Asian vote in the most recent election, a trend across these growing demographics that, if sustained, could spell significant gains for Republicans in the future.

    However, let’s not overlook the broader electoral picture. Black, Asian, and Latine men and women combined make up about 29% of the voting public in presidential elections, while white women alone account for a staggering 37-38%. For context, Latino men represent just 5-6% of voters. White women are, by far, the largest voting demographic.

    Interestingly, Trump increased his share of all women by 7% compared to when he ran against Biden and has increased his support from women each time he's ran. The devastating thing, I think, is that Trump won 13% more of the 18-29-year-olds, 5% more of 30-44-year-olds, and continues to capture "Boomer Lite," aka Gen X, a majority of whom he has won each time he's ran, but he increased his share by 9% this time.

    Edit: corrected an earlier data error.

  • The fact that some humans can shove an entire large pizza inside themselves is both amazing and terrifying

    Jump

  • I hear you! Still, I do find focusing on a quality meal over a quantity meal is a good thing, which I think in a different way you were also saying. Different qualities, same idea, generally good result. 😊

    I live in one of those areas where the 40-60 set seems to be healthier and more focused on health than most people around my age, so I don't think it needs to be age thing! You've got this!

  • Makes food seem pretty boring. I eat to enjoy. I'm not worried about "fuel," it seems to work pretty well for that without my having to think about it. I'm pretty active, so it's not much of a concern. But, I understand I'm fortunate that I don't struggle with food/weight.

  • If the democrats executed the same fake electors scheme trump tried to execute, wouldn't Republican opposition be admission of trumps guilt?

  • I've got good and bad news for you: it's an edge-lord adult. I get the feeling people would feel vicarious embarrassment for him if they knew what he looks like, how he acts, and what his life is like irl. Perhaps pitying him and moving on is the best emotional response.

    I've already blocked him, so, as far as I'm concerned, problem solved.

  • I don't gain weight, but I just can't do it. When I was in high school my parents would always order me my own large pizza, and I would eat all of it except one slice, which I would eat cold the following morning.

    Now, I'll still have the appetite sometimes, and I'll order a large. If I'm lucky and very determined, I'll eat half, and then I'm so stuffed I feel sick. I suppose that's a good thing, but there is a certain sense of accomplishment found in dusting a whole pizza yourself.

  • He's just a moron that plays video games all day, so his frame of reference is a fictional world. He seems to think being obtuse online makes him appear strong and therefore smart. He's basically a Trump voter that missed a memo along the way.

  • Sounds like a brilliant plan. "They're being fascist so we have to be fascist!" has worked so well in history.

    You effectively said, "I didn't do anything to change anyone's mind, and neither did the party that I support through the bare minimum of voting once every four years, so since the majority of people in this country don't agree with me, I think I want to play fascism instead of democracy too! Except I'm the good kind of fascist! I just don't think the majority of voters should get their way, that's all."

    Hard eye roll on that one.
