Blue light being bad is a conspiracy theory by big eyewear to sell more glasses (I’m being tongue in cheek but I think its kinda true). I don’t have the link but I read some paper about how its more likely that the reduced blinking rate while watching screens is the real culprit

…“before allowing him to enter the U.S. in 2021.”…“Lakanwal applied for asylum in December 2024 and was approved on April 23 of this year, three months after Trump took office.” WHICH IS IT? EDIT: oh okay i get it now. He came to the US in 2021, applied for asylum in 2024. its actually very clear and I just need more coffee.

Article reads like a NY Times hit piece aimed at dividing leftists and DSA members. DSA members held a meeting, discussed endorsements of candidates for upcoming political races, and now will vote on whether to endorse. Now, if they vote to endorse Osse and then Mamdani declines to get on board with that, then there would be a story. This is just some NYTs bullshit which is what it does best.

When you say ‘Taiwan is the original government’, what year are we talking here? [I am actually interested in a history discussion, I’m not trying to just be contentious] My understanding is that the current gov is only ~70 yrs old and is the remnants of the RoC. The RoC fled the mainland after losing the civil war to the commies, and then they took over the island and instituted martial law for like decades and tried to erase the indigenous peoples culture. Before that it was ruled by Japan at one point, mainland China at one point, and the Dutch at another point, i think Portugeuse were there for awhile. I dont think there was ever a united, one island government formed by the indigenous peoples. I’m not saying that Taiwan should welcome China with open arms - not at all- I’m questioning the support of their current government. As i finish writing this paragraph, I’m thinking I need to do some reading on the socioeconomics of modern Taiwan…

I agree with you. Like I told a family member who made all the same arguments the people in these comments are making: "I am not trying to tell you what you can and cannot say. I’m telling you that if I hear you use language like that, I will respect you less and I will talk to you less or not at all. " We don’t talk much anymore, and thats fine.
