Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Had to read the article to find out if the headline was describing a good trend or a bad trend. I'm so old 👴
So good trend or bad trend?
I can't read the article, does anyone have an archive link?
Good trend.
The 17% is worrying, but that 40% is worse.
Agreed
I'm assuming those 40% just want to get laid and that's all they care about. Lol, I'm not young, but I remember being young.
Keep in mind Trumpers hate birth control and that one night stand might turn to an 18 year marathon with a crazy parent.
Do we know how many of the 40% were dudes?
What happens when you attempt to read the article? It's an Axios article. Free with no paywall.
Not OP, but for me a window popped up and asked for my email, without any button or other option to opt out/make it go away. I got around it by using “Reader” Mode.
Hmm. On my phone, the link just opens the article in a browser.
It has an annoying nagwall asking you to sign up with an email, but that doesn't show up if javascript is disabled or if using reader mode on your browser. It's also easy enough to get rid of by using developer tools in your browser if you're a bit tech minded.
Right? How am I supposed to know what "left" implies in some random app's context?
Left and right are a de facto standard in dating apps. It's a terrible UI but they all do it now.
Smartphones didn't even exist last time I was dating.
The thing that trips me up, as a dinosaur, is whether "swipe left" refers to the direction your hand moves or the direction that the viewport is traveling. If I scroll by moving my finger to the left, now I'm looking at stuff that was previously on my right.
In tinder when you swipe, the picture itself moves, not the whole screen.
I have this issue with my stove top, which burner goes to with nob/diagram. Does the picture line flat or flip over. I only every end up using the one with both high and low cause it's easy to tell which it is.
I'm gonna need a drawing or video to describe this in 3d terms because it makes little sense
The burners should be in a representation that when looking at them dead-on you're looking at them as you would the burners top-down
So if you squat down and make the burner icon eye-level to you, then stand up and look down at the burners at a 90 degree angle down, that's how they line up
A | B
C | D
If that's your image then A is the back-left burner on your stovetop, and D would be the one closest to you on the right
I am a weirdo and always get things backwards that the rest of the population has no trouble with.
Righty-tighty, lefty-loosey made no sense when I was a kid because I focused on the bottom of the thing I was spinning instead of the top.
Same with the stove. Wtf is the "front" burner? I mapped the four burners to the four seats of a car in my head, and I thought the front burner would be the ones farther away from me. 🫨
That's absolutely right, but you forgot to account for the fact that the stove doesn't face the same way you do, you're facing it and it is facing you, like a head on car collision
And why are they stealing it? I don't even know where to start planning a caper involving left theft. Guess I could start from the right...
Yeah, I met my (now) wife over 20 years ago. I blissfully missed app dating and I always make sure she wears her seatbelt and what-not so that never changes.
Got a good brand recommendation for what-nots? My wife's been asking for one.
I usually check Etsy, but you can often find good ones thrifting too.
"wears her seatbelt"?
