Hum… but your quote indeed uses “treat”, I am no expert, but I feel it might be the verb form of “treatment”…

There should only be class wars, but unfortunately I doubt the Russian invasion is a class war.

In general only click on a link if you trust the domain. A URL usually looks like this: https://first.second.third/… And only the second and the thrid word between dots are important.

For example: https://suspicious.google.com/ is in general fine, since the second and third word is google.com . However, https://lemmy.legit-lemmy.world/ is unsafe, because the second and thrid word are legit-lemmy.world, but not lemmy.world.

There are ways to smuggle unsafe asset under legit URL, usually by uploading them on google drive, github etc. The good rule of thumb is to never run anything on your computer unless you are absolutely sure it comes from trusted source, like from official website.

Official download webpage tends to have very descriptive and short URL, like

• https://zoom.us/download
• https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows11/

If you see long random strings on the download webpage then it is likely unsafe, for example:

• https://drive.google.com/Bt57Fgh90jkU=

My standard for “good” practise is: if everyone adapt said practice, then the world would be better off.

Even though the effort of a single person can be futile; if I cannot chance my behavior for a cause I believe in, how can I expect the rest of the world to do the same?

If he is gonna spend public money to worship himself, I at least expect the statue to be slightly higher quality than this piece of crap.

Took me a several click to get to the source: https://budgetmodel.wharton.upenn.edu/issues/2025/4/3/real-time-federal-budget-tracker It has detailed budget breakdowns so it is decently convenient to explore.

I have done a very brief scrolling, here are some interesting findings. All the following data are year-to-date, comparing 2024 to 2025, adjusted for inflation:

Ups:

• despite mass firing, spending on federal employee salary has slightly gone up (by 4 billion, from 79 to 83 billion), which I assume is either current admin paying themselves, severance, or sign-on bonus to hiring back their fired employee.
• DoD and DVA spending has collectively gone up more than 20 billions.
• Unclassified spending up aroubd 20 billion, from 70 billion to 89 billion, a near 30% incease, curious what those are.
• Federal Highway, Railroad, and Transite are collectively up couple billion.
• DOJ, DOE, DOC has surprisingly gone up in spending. DOJ in particular gone up 1 billion, from 7 billion to 8 billion.

Downs:

• NIH and CDC are either slightly down or remain the same. It is worth noting that NIH and CDC collectively account for around 20 billions total spending, the same amount as the increase in DoD and DVA spending.
• Department of Education down 10 billion from 90 billion to 80 billion.
• USAID gone down 2 billion, even though it only accounted for total of 6 billion of spending in 2024.
• Homeland Security spending, surprisingly, down half a billion from 5.5 to 5.
• USPS down 1 billion, from 14 billion to 13 billion.

The article states: “Republican Representative Harriet Hageman of Wyoming … [states] a consistent rise in fatal truck crashes since its implementation.”

Whereas your statement is “[Requiring truck driver to speak English improves safety] is a fact”.

I am not saying what you said is necessarily wrong or the policy is necessarily harmful; but I feel we probably need more proof than “a republican representative said so”, to assert a certain statement as “a fact”.

BTW, neither you nor the news article provided the relevant data, which IMHO doesn’t really inspire confidence in your argument. Let alone all the potiential confounding variable others have mentioned.

I think it would be great if you can list some credible source before asserting a fact.

Also I have a question, why do truck drivers speaking English makes the road more safe? As long as they understand the required knowledge, I don’t see the language they speak matters in terms of safety, but that could just be my lack of understanding in this area.

My conspricy theory is that early LLMs have a hard time figuring out the logical relation between sentenses, hence do not generate good transitions between sentences.

I think bullet point might be manually tuned up by the developers, but not inheritly present in the model; because we don’t tend to see bullet points that much in normal human communications.
