> What a waste of government time and spending

Was the switch to Calibri in 2023 also a waste of time and money, or are font switches only bad when the Trump administration does them?

Aside from arguments about performance and memory safety, I'm generally more likely to try something written in Rust (or Go) because projects in those languages tends to be easy to build or download as a static binary. For Rust projects, `cargo install <name>` generally works. On the other hand, when I see something written in C++ or Python, it's an indicator that there may be significantly more work involved

I live in the US and I see something similar when shopping at Aldi. They charge like 5 or 10 cents per bag, but it's enough that most people will bring their own or not use bags at all. It's a small fee, but it has a significant impact, and it's great that you can still get bags if you need them.

I'd much prefer cities and states impose a small tax like this instead of a ban. It would reduce usage without risking harmful, unintended consequences like we see in California.

It's quite easy to spin a false narrative when you cherry-pick cases, misrepresent facts, and leave out important context.

> a white couple waved guns at the protestors

If this is the case I'm thinking of, the protesters had broken down a gate and were trespassing on their property. What were they supposed to do in that situation? Risk their lives and property by putting themselves at the mercy of the mob?

> Black, can raise voice

That's a hell of a euphemism for "threatening to kill people". Apparently the subway riders felt that he was a real threat, because he was restrained by 3 people, and all of the passengers that have spoken up about it seemed to think it was necessary

I'm sure that had far more to do with the threats he was shouting at the other passengers than his social status

Lowering taxes and allowing people to keep their own money qualifies as "redistribution" now?

And what purpose would that serve? Tesla is not a media company. It doesn't publish news and it doesn't claim to be objective. Nobody is interested in how their sources of funding might bias their coverage of events because that's completely irrelevant to a car company

> But not the BBC, curiously

You should check these things before posting. It says "Government-funded Media" right at the top of the page here: https://twitter.com/BBC

Why weren't eggs ever expensive before the last couple years? Did corporations just suddenly become greedy around that time?

Did you actually read the article? If this was just due to increased diagnosis, one would expect rates of self-harm and suicide to stay the same or fall as kids are able to get better treatment for mental health issues. Instead, we see the opposite happening, self-harm is going up in lockstep with diagnosis, which suggests that the increase in diagnosis corresponds to a real increase in mental health problems among teens.
