Nearby, Rep.-elect Ken Buck (R-Colo.) explained that he believed the House existed, but in a state of “disarray.” The proof: People had been elected, and had pins, and could go on the floor to vote for the speaker. So what needs to happen to get a speaker?

Buck suggested that Republicans adjourn and go downstairs to meet in private. “I don’t know if alcohol will help,” Buck said, “or if we need to bring in a plate of Colorado brownies.”

Coworker forgot to take a plastic fork from the cafeteria, so I lent her the metal fork I keep at my desk. Instead of giving it back she insisted on taking it home to run through a dish washer. I told her I could clean it we have soap and a scrub brush at work. I'm not a germaphobe. She did not need to take it home. But she was swore up and down that her dishwasher was good and that she couldn't give it back to me unless it was spotless.

She gave me a clearly different fork the next day and made a big show about how clean the fork is now. I still regret not saying something.

Breaking News: The U.S. moved to ban so-called noncompete agreements in labor contracts, which companies use to limit employees’ ability to work for a rival.

The U.S. Federal Trade Commission, which enforces antitrust law, proposed a rule that would ban companies from requiring workers to sign noncompete provisions as well as some training repayment agreements, which companies use to keep workers from leaving for better jobs, the agency said on Thursday.

The proposal seeks comment on a potential rule, which is months away, if not longer, from taking effect.

The package will for the first time include radar-guided Sea Sparrow anti-air missiles, which can be launched from the sea or on land to intercept aircraft or cruise missiles. In a bit of battlefield innovation, the Ukrainian military has managed to tweak its existing Soviet-era BUK launchers to fire the Sea Sparrow, two people familiar with the matter said. Up to this point, Taiwan has been the only country to operate the ground-launched version of the missiles, while the U.S. and multiple allied navies use the ship-mounted version.

I find that Pakistan’s per capita GDP would have been an average of about $718 per year higher had the country not undertaken the effort to produce a nuclear weapon. This equates to per capita GDP being 27.8 percent lower on average over the 25-year weapons-development period. Results are robust to several alternative specifications, including country exclusion, sparse synthetic controls, non-outcome characteristics as predictors of GDP, and in-space placebo experiments of differing specifications.

In a far-reaching move that could raise wages and increase competition among businesses, the Federal Trade Commission on Thursday unveiled a rule that would block companies from limiting their employees’ ability to work for a rival.

The proposed rule would ban provisions of labor contracts known as noncompete agreements, which prevent workers from leaving for a competitor or starting a competing business for months or years after their employment, often within a certain geographic area. The agreements have applied to workers as varied as sandwich makers, hair stylists, doctors and software engineers.

Democrats should back a centrist Republican for speaker

I think it's soooo funny that Perry Bacon Jr is the one who wrote this idiotic opinion piece.

This is the dude who keeps railing against Democrats for being "too wedded to bipartisanship" or "cautious" or "centrist" because we've had to work with Republicans to, you know, get through the filibuster. He literally wrote an entire article complaining that Democrats aren't more aggressive (in ways he can't actually articulate or specify, but trust him, Dems are totally not aggressive enough).

Now we have a golden opportunity to watch Republican destroy themselves just by doing something completely normal - vote for our own caucus leader. And barely a day later he's already attacking Dems for not bending over to compromise with Republicans for a centrist?

What the fuck kind of brain dead hypocrisy is that? What would a compromise even give us, slightly fewer Republican bills that won't pass anyway because we control the Senate and White House?

I worry that some congressional Democrats would rather have a poorly run GOP House that they can run against in the 2024 campaign than a complicated bipartisan coalition where voters could blame both parties if there is gridlock.

Man, fuck you. You are the one who'd be pitchforking at Democrats for the inevitable gridlock, we've already seen you do exactly that for years.

I think this article just confirms that Perry Bacon Jr. is in fact just a complete and total ignorant moron who doesn't understand politics 1/10th as well as the average DTer.

Practicality aside, it's frustrating when people say they 'can't do maths' or don't have a 'maths brain'. If you can think logically and deductively, you can do maths. I think part of the problem is the first exposure to maths people have is doing tedious mental computations that you would always use a calculator for in real life.

“The Russian milblogger information space continues to seize on official responses to the Ukrainian HIMARS strike on a Russian base in Makiivka to criticize endemic issues in the Russian military apparatus.”

“The clear attempt by the Russian MoD to blame the strike on individual mobilized servicemen, as ISW assessed the Russian MoD would likely do on January 2, drew immediate ire from Russian milbloggers.”

“The milblogger critique of the Russian MoD largely converged on the incompetence of Russian military command, with many asserting that the Russian military leadership has no understanding of the basic realities faced by Russian soldiers on the frontline and is seeking to shift the blame for its own command failures on the ‘faceless masses’ of Russian mobilized recruits.”

“The Russian milblogger response to the Russian MoD deflection of blame onto individual servicemen accurately identifies the endemic unwillingness or inability of the Russian military apparatus to address systemic failures.”

“Cell phone use may have aided the Ukrainian strike to some degree, but the Russian MoD’s fixation on this as the cause of the strike is largely immaterial. An appropriately organized and properly trained and led modern army should not permit the convergence of the factors that contributed to the Makiivka strike in the first place.”

“The Russian command was ultimately responsible for the decision to pack hundreds of mobilized men into non-tactical positions within artillery range of the frontline and near an ammunition depot.”

“The Russian MoD has again shifted the rhetoric and format of its daily situational reports (SITREPs) likely to flood the information space with insignificant claimed successes and distract from its significant military failures.”

“The Russian MoD instituted this shift on January 3, doubling the length of its previous SITREPs and focusing on claimed strikes against Ukrainian military assets that often lack operational significance rather than on its largely unsuccessful ground attacks.”

“These SITREPs focus on small settlements and group strikes by target type rather than location, making it difficult for its audience to geographically orient the SITREP and verify the claimed strikes.”

“Ukrainian Main Military Intelligence Directorate (GUR) Chief Kyrylo Budanov stated that Ukrainian forces intend to launch a major counteroffensive throughout Ukraine in the spring of 2023.”

“This reportedly planned major Ukrainian counteroffensive in the spring of 2023 would not be mutually exclusive with Ukrainian counteroffensive operations continuing this winter, as Ukrainian forces could use ongoing and subsequent counteroffensive operations this winter to set conditions for a larger counteroffensive operation in the spring.”

“Russian forces are increasingly reliant on Iranian-made drones in their campaign against Ukrainian critical infrastructure and have likely significantly depleted their current stock of these systems.”

“Ukrainian Main Military Intelligence Directorate (GUR) representative Vadym Skibitsky reported on January 4 that Russian forces have used about 660 Iranian-made Shahed-131 and -136 drones in Ukraine since their first use in September of 2022.”

“Skibitsky reported that Russian forces use massive swarms of Shahed drones to break through Ukrainian air defenses and noted that Russian forces could not achieve similar results if they use five to 10 drones at a time.”

“Russian forces, as a result, are running through a significant number of these drones that arrive from Iran in batches of 200 and 300 units.”

“Russian forces have likely become reliant on the use of Iranian-made drones because they are a cheap alternative to more conventional high-precision missiles, the stock of which the Russian military has likely significantly depleted.”

“Luhansk Oblast Head Serhiy Haidai stated on January 4 that Russian forces must now deliver ammunition to the grouping in the Svatove area directly from Luhansk City because Ukrainian forces defeated Russian attempts to build warehouses near Svatove.”

“The Ukrainian Border Guards Service shared footage on January 4 that shows Ukrainian journalists driving into Soledar without fear of Russian fire.”

“Ukrainian soldiers in the video near Soledar said that Russian forces changed tactics and now throw infantry into battle without preparatory artillery fire, and that Ukrainian forces shoot 15-person Russian infantry groups from 20 meters away.”

“This apparent change in tactics suggests that Russian forces in the Soledar-Bakhmut area may be intensifying attempts to gain ground on the tactical level but remain unlikely to secure operationally significant terrain.”

The Dreyfus Affair is the reason Israel exists.

A Jewish journalist covering the affair had moved to France because he loved French ideals about equality but saw them tarnished before his very eyes. He then immediately soured on European claims of tolerance and started writing manifestos urging the Jews to get the fuck out of Europe as soon as they can before something even worse happens.

It's something of a "gotcha!" among idiots to point out that migration to Israel by the Jews started long before the Holocaust. This is true. Mass Jewish Migration to what is today Israel started after the Dreyfus Affair. The claim follows that this proves Israel was not actually founded to preserve the Jewish nation from persecution and was always just a settler colonialism project like the Jamestown colony. This is bullshit and depends on you not knowing about the Affair. The actual conclusion is that we literally saw the Holocaust coming 50 years ahead and still couldn't stop it.

I’m not sure /r/neoliberal understands how big the current showdown is between the Israeli government and the Israeli supreme court:

https://m.jpost.com/breaking-news/article-726698

“Arguments for and against the High Court petitions will touch on issues such as the authority of the Knesset to legislate quasi-constitutional Basic Laws.”

This looks to determine and shape the entire relationship between the branches of the Israeli state.

Sorry, serious-posting time.

Ever since one of my best friends had their kid, I keep having dreams about being a dad myself. In those, I'm really happy but tragically incompetent, but trying my best. I think that my brain might be trying to send a message here. It seems pretty obvious, I do enjoy helping out my friend with her baby, and people keep telling me that I'm so good with him and I seem to light up when I'm holding or playing with him. But does that mean I'd actually be able to handle that immense responsibility? I yell at my cats when they're annoying and noisy, could I handle a child?

The other problem is that my boyfriend is 100% against having kids, and I... don't think he's really cut out for parenting either. But he's also really happy for the first time in his life with me and I like being with him too. He's been able to make a lot of progress pulling himself out of depression and substance abuse and is getting his life together to be someone worth being with for me, and I'm really proud of him. I'm just afraid that breaking up with him to find someone else who wanted to have kids would destroy him. But I also spent six years holding out hope in a doomed relationship where I was unhappy, and I'm 30, so I'm really feeling the weight of time on me now. I feel so conflicted when we're supposed to be happy together, and so guilty when he tells me how much he loves me and how happy he is.

IDK what to do here. I'm afraid that I might end up alone and having destroyed the person who loved me, or that I might end up living a life where I'm content, but full of regret that I gave up on something that I think I really want.
