if you (not you specifically but anyone reading) find this happens often enough to be debilitating you may benefit from seeing a psychiatrist for anxiety/depression medication. My wife was like that and it made an immediate difference for her.

sounds about right.

this could be very sensationalist because as far as I know, we have no idea what the absolute numbers are, the trend is measured in percentages:

Numbers represent search interest relative to the highest point on the chart for the given region and time. A value of 100 is the peak popularity for the term. A value of 50 means that the term is half as popular. A score of 0 means there was not enough data for this term.

So it's true that the peak is today, but that could be only a few people. Considering most of October the daily number was "0" (not enough data), I'm guessing the absolute numbers are fairly low. Anyone know how many datapoints google needs to publish data on trends?

They could at least try to end corporate personhood… make it so that corporations are not protected by the 1st amendment and don’t get free speech…

You'd need a supermajority to amend the constitution, and that is completely unrealistic.

Practically speaking, what is supposed to be done about it? It's all protected by the first amendment. Even if they were to somehow pass a new kind of "fairness" legislation in a future blue wave, the stacked SCOTUS will strike it down.

All that sounds like your subjective view not based on data. Not saying the DNC is perfect by any means, but it's clear the economy was by far the #1 issue in this election. I mentioned exit polls earlier, and also Trump was way up compared to 2020 even in extremely rural counties. Israel, Cheney, Stein, etc have nothing to do with that.

exactly. I think whoever ended up as the D candidate was going to take the blame for the massive pandemic inflation. They were destined for failure from the beginning.

Looking at exit polls, people were far more concerned with the economy than anything else. I don't think Israel mattered much to average people. Biden/Harris got fucked with pandemic inflation and people are too dumb to realize it had nothing to do with them. And that will be further reinforced because inflation is under control now so Trump will look great having done nothing whatsoever.

the fact that it's even close is still disturbing.

hoping it's roe v wade related.

I blame Fox News the most for decades of right wing propaganda.

The movie company partnered with Joya Studio to bring multi-sensory screenings exclusively to Alamo Drafthouse theaters nationwide. The immersive moviegoing experience will take place at advance screenings on Oct. 30, ahead of the film’s Nov. 8 release date in the U.S.

...

The aroma will be activated at Alamo theaters via Joya Studio’s atomization technology, which employs cold-air diffusion to disperse scented molecules as fine, dry air without the use of heat, water or alcohol.

The U.S., France and other allies jointly called Wednesday for an “immediate” 21-day cease-fire to allow for negotiations in the escalating conflict between Israel and Hezbollah that has killed more than 600 people in Lebanon in recent days.

The joint statement, negotiated on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly in New York, says the recent fighting is “intolerable and presents an unacceptable risk of a broader regional escalation.”

“We call for an immediate 21-day cease-fire across the Lebanon-Israel border to provide space for diplomacy,” the statement said. “We call on all parties, including the governments of Israel and Lebanon, to endorse the temporary cease-fire immediately.”

Maybe the mod(s) got banned by admins? Doesn't seem to be too active thankfully, but it's probably only a matter of time before moderation will be needed there.

ICE is dead, and none of the developments make it to road cars anyway. Meanwhile, battery/EV tech needs all the development it can get and F1's have been frozen for years.

Make F1 road relevant again, not just aerospace on bubble gum tires. Let teams compete on the tech that actually matters to the motoring world.

CFI calls on our supporters to help defeat a pro-homeopathy amendment being proposed for the federal appropriations bill H.R. 4368. The homeopathy lobby is pushing hard for this amendment, and we need CFI supporters to voice their opposition to their members of Congress.

Homeopathy groups such as Americans For Homeopathy Choice (AFHC) are lobbying strenuously for Appropriations Amendment #4. This amendment would bar FDA enforcement of the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act against new homeopathic drug products as long as a product complies with “standards for strength, quality, and purity set forth in the Homeopathic Pharmacopoeia of the United States.” In other words, it would replace much-needed federal regulation with the industry’s own standards.

CFI has consistently pointed out that homeopathy is bunk science that does not work beyond the placebo effect. Homeopathic products are typically diluted to the point that no active ingredients remain. It is quack medicine and consumer fraud.

The Homeopathic Pharmacopoeia’s standards of quality are not medically valid. Yet the amendment would exempt homeopathic products from FDA regulation and oversight if they comport with those standards. This amounts to an argument of “No need for federal regulation, we can regulate ourselves with our own standards even if they constitute medical fraud” – or, more succinctly, “Let the fox guard the henhouse, please.” (Indeed, CFI has tussled with the Homeopathic Pharmacopoeia before.)

At the moment, AFHC and the homeopathy lobby are seeking additional co-sponsors in the House of Representatives for their amendment. This is where CFI’s supporters come in.

We need our supporters to mobilize and contact their members in the House of Representatives immediately. Please let them know, in no uncertain terms, that homeopathy cannot and must not escape federal regulation. It is crucial to keep Appropriations Amendment #4 out of the federal appropriations bill.
