I’ll even go further and say that people who can afford it but wouldn’t otherwise bother might order them if they are free, which is a win for public health if even a few people ends up testing and preventing spread even a little

“Vance mocked for [insert here]” being a common headline is a media trend I find funny. So shines a chuckle in a weary world

At least it’s a step in the right direction. Especially since they’ve been extremely evil when it comes to teens. Tho I’m sure they’ll figure out how to continue to be evil with these restrictions/guidelines in place.

They hide behind “its only racism when im actively in the process of saying the n word out loud” but now i guess even that get’s an asterisk

I see it more of a way to alert the user that devices might not work as expected if there is red. From the manufacturer perspective, they want to minimize the number of phonecalls that a webcam/mic isn’t working and red will more likely get user attention before someone calls

I know the rest of the comments here are all really negative but I want to bring some positivity.

I’m so happy for him that he’s lost all that weight. That’s an incredible achievement.

Also, it’s one of the craziest swerves of all time on YouTube. Dude was one of the biggest lolcows on the internet. I’m sure several drama YouTubers had to trash videos. Like, even just a week ago he released a video where everyone was like, “he’s gonna die any day”. And he was just losing weight this whole time and he had that much of a backlog of videos. That’s unhinged but in the best possible way. I’m just happy and impressed for him.

Is there anyone using a crypto ATM for legitimate purposes? Probably should have to show an ID to use one but make it be that you have to be at least 21 years younger than the average life expectancy to use it

Life is more horrific than fiction. What a complete nightmare. It’s hard to even try to beleive it’s real. So utterly devistating for her. This amount of trauama is so ghastly because it also destroys her understanding of reality.

I really don’t know how a human could recover from this. I really hope she finds a way to keep going on. This is going to stick with me. Cause like, yo, wtf. So heartbreaking.

Glad a bunch of people are going down for this. The breadth of perpetrators is wild.

If photon hitting a surface can impart momentum, does generating photons also impart momentum? Like, if you put a solar powered laser pointer in space, would it move?

My teen bought a kit off Amazon. Luckily found it before they used it but Def gonna also show them this article

bait and switch

Aka fraud

Do you see UBI being so bad that it would prevent you supporting abortion rights?

This could be about politics or DougDoug’s twitch chat

It could also be chargeworthy. I’d say there’s at least a notable chance someone conffeses to something when you two corrupt criminal egomaniacs with invincibility complexes together live

Doesn’t he get a secret service detail since he’s VP candidate? I image some pretty easy, but unusual, phone calls were made

I assume these companies being sued follow standard procedure, which is that everything freezes the moment a lawsuit starts. It’s pretty much a guarantee that these companies halt spending, let alone even communicate, with X

Ngl, that last line does cause me to involuntarily feel a warm flutter in my heart but then I remember that she says “god” would still love them instead of “I’d”

My immediate gut reaction to this is pretty viscerally against it. I guess as a foster parent, I’m used to society being up my ass about my parenting decisions and I’m fine with that.

I get it that it can be painful when you are told you are doing something wrong with raining a kid you love, but also, that’s the whole point of a society. I think this policy would point society in the direction of making parenting become even more individualized than it already is in the US. “It takes a village” has lost all meaning in this country and we need to work towards making society feel invested in everyone’s children

I don’t know what policies could lead to people without kids feeling more of a stake in how children are raised. Can’t think of anything realistic. It’s going to have to be a societal shift back. People don’t want to be around other people’s kids when they aren’t allowed to have any say in how those kids are parented.

People talk about other countries where it’s not impossible for someone in the town to discipline someone else’s kid. It’s inconveniencable in the US because we treat parents as an unquestionable authority and kids are treated like property. Whatever we do, we need to figure out how to move away from hyperindividualism, greed, and selfishness being rewarded/encouraged.

People being property and thus giving their owners an extra vote is a very republican policy now that I think about it…

Im Def racking up interest but I’m lowkey banking on student loans being forgiven before the extra interest becomes a problem. Like, I’m gonna assume that at worst I’m adding an extra year of payments, but that’s going to be future me’s problem in like 15 years.

I definitely don’t qualify for finacial hardship in any sense of the term. I’m in the high end of middle class income. I’ve been participating in the not paying as a form of protest for student loan reform/forgiveness. I’ll be relatively fine when payments of $500 a month start back up. It’ll suck but not gonna put me into hardship.

It’s really about solidarity at this point cause I’ll be in student debt for an insane amount of time. Then again, even tho I’m okay, I don’t have much of a runway if I were to get an unexpected layoff
