Brings that whole Clint Eastwood “Get off my lawn” vibe to another level.

Measles is an interesting dive. It can have a re-write effect on the immune system such that other established immunities get wiped after a measles infection.

As such, it’s best to avoid.

I came here to say Dungeons & Dragons. People of all ages and walks of life play.

Fight Club said it better.

That’s no longer a universal thing.

This sounds like a Reddit comment.

Trevor Noah interviewed the writer of The Anxious Generation on his podcast recently, if you prefer that to reading.

Either way. The author makes the point that part of the brain rewire of the latest generation is a predilection for authoritarian type people in charge.

This is horrifying. Sadly, it will take this to bring the Tesla self driving fleet down to what eventually happened with the Cyber Truck.

Corporate has already bought up most of your doctor’s clinics. This is why you get 15min, no more, your appointment is gone if you’re 5min late, and may even have a fee charged for missing/not being on time for an appointment. It’s leading to doctor burnout.

Google does similar, stating it’s for safety.

That is the idea behind Theil and company, to render politicians obsolete by fueling influence through social media manipulation.

To further this end via personal data such that they personally tweek you during your screen time.

AI is already influenced to bias answers on various topics per owner preference. That’s currently being mass tested now.

Social science data on retractions of bad or erroneous headlines, going back decades, shows retractions don’t work. The initial information blast holds sway. It sticks, for better or worse. Outliers exist, we’re talking middle of the bell curve.

You may already have an opinion, but many more do not and will thus be swayed.

The Onion is a little too close these days.

I’ll give him a slight amount of credit for saying that part out loud.

Let’s face it, his pushes are likely going to be cost cuts on anything the federal government is involved in, to try to make up on tax cuts and entitlement programs for the top 10%. Which will only, long game, make working class more unhealthy, angry, and desperate.

This is the Peter Thiel world. Trump will die in his sleep of old age and one too many chicken nuggets, and Thiel’s puppet, Vance, will take over.

At which point all privacy will be off the table.

I had to suggest something to people seeing this meme and not knowing where to turn. Otherwise, they may try using Shotcut.

As the squeeze continues, the trash dumps will increase. It costs money to dump trash appropriately. Out of all the utilities, trash pickup will likely be sacrificed first. This isn’t an endorsement.

True. I think even if he gets off, they’ll kill him. Remember all the whistleblower deaths in 2024? Like that.

Most of it was psychological, not unlike lines painted on a road acting like a divider. The only barrier, most places, is a mental one. Even when a road is empty, most people obey out of a sense of safety and respect for 3 ton bullets.

Windows on houses, also a psychological barrier to entry. They’re glass, anyone can break them with little effort. Take away the mental restraint and you have every zombie movie ever made.

Belief in the constitution, the democratic republic of America, and the rule of law does not exist with MAGA. As such, there are no mental guardrails to hold anything dictatorial or destructive back.

It has to be easy, low effort, and something there friends are doing too.
