Are you? Don't ask me what I want it for

In her case it was like her boyfriend was beating other people, and she just shrugged it off and kept dating him until he did it to someone she liked.

Where did you get a surveillance dog robot?

“RFK is a eugenicist who believes that people with chronic health conditions deserve to die preventable deaths” is a plain fact that the news media cannot or will not tell the public.

It's easy to live with yourself when you externalize all impetus. God killed grandma, Jesus did my sins, it's how they cope.

Wait til you see the whole hand tree

Man everyone's on their phone all the time these days, nobody can just live in the moment

They are the lowest common denominator for a reason, let them whine

I had a sinking feeling in my stomach when he announced it was open that he was just declaring it so. He's so predictably stupid.

Oh my god I've been using rice entirely wrong!

That's another reason people will keep falling for scams, tech giants like Amazon have a direct incentive to keep scams alive. I don't know how much revenue they make off it but they sure don't seem concerned about how many people are being fleeced through their services.

I do think that's a big contributor to our social ills, not just that they're strangers but that everyone is insulated from repercussions for antisocial behavior. Then algorithms started rewarding antisocial behavior because it drives engagement. The internet sucks so much these days lol

I don't think they were being aggro, it's just a different communication style. If it has value to you then use it, we're all just sharing our experience of what makes phones less of a bugbear in our lives.

I think a lot of that is the proliferation of the internet. We've gone from 50% of adults using the internet in 2000 to over 95% today. Every one of those new users needs to learn the same lesson and we don't have any kind of standard education or introduction to the dangers of the internet.

What makes the most sense is humans are incredibly complicated and the influences that shape us are very subtle.

If someone's trying to pin it down to one thing it's like they're trying to decide which tree makes it a forest.

Those are the notifications I'm talking about. It's not just social media, turn off everything that's optional for you to turn off. You should be the one deciding when you look at your phone, not your phone telling you to look at it.

Right, which is why the bullet hit someone else while the fragment hit Trump's ear.

I always thought the lore was the ball was like a genie lamp, they have plenty of room in there because they've shrunk down and it's sort of like a different dimension rather than just a tiny ball.

One from each state sounds as fair as you can get. To expand as and if new states join the Union.

The thing is, I thought everyone knew that! I thought that was like part of the cultural fabric of America, we got this weird rich dude from New York who makes a fool of himself all the time and talks about being rapey with women. Somehow the Apprentice washed it all away.

Patel was out of his depth from the beginning, it was only Trump's coattails that protected him. Now that Trump's power is waning Patel is going to have a big target on his back from a lot of pissed of people in the intelligence community.

The FBI did an investigation, the conclusion was a fragment from the bullet casing is what hit his ear, which to me is consistent with the damage and blood we saw. Casings do fragment pieces when fired, I've seen that proven. It is the FBI though, corruption in law enforcement is the norm.

Oh turn off all your notifications immediately, don't let them play with your brain like that. They design the apps to get you addicted through your own neurological processes, and the notification function is a huge part of that. Only notifications I get are text messages directly, no DMs no apps.

I'm so tired of the infinite belligerence of the internet, it's the impression I got from what he's been saying but if he's saying I'm mischaracterizing it you can't just refute a statement of intent. I'd like him to clarify, but I don't really care it's such a silly thing to argue about anyway.

Usually kids in that situation are in that situation because they don't have parents that care about them like that. The internet is an important tool for connection even among the youth, limiting their exposure to its harmful elements can't come at the cost of their access entirely.

As far as I know OpenSecrets is the gold standard but in today's world who even knows www.opensecrets.org/industries/s...

They've been shown to classify the donations from the same sources differently for different candidates, they intentionally conflate AIPAC and JStreet, and their whole website design is a 101 class in visual propaganda. It's not a reliable source.

Not trying to antagonize, isn't that essentially what you were saying? That despite all the complaining since the data shows wages increasing along with COL the problem is not real it's just a social confirmation bias phenomenon?

Worth noting that the "Track AIPAC" website is not honest when representing data or in how they approve or disapprove of candidates. In this case they're right, obviously this guy is only voting on behalf of Israel, just saying don't take these images at their word.

What "research" can you possibly be doing with a severed raccoon penis?
