It's not a matter of education.

It requires deprogramming.

First step is listing the contradictions. The internet is full of this.

Second step is all on them, they need to start accepting the contradictions.

No one can force someone to take this step and it's very unlikely a random internet stranger is going to be the one they trust.

Ultimately, the ones any of us have a chance of helping are those we know in our personal lives. Remaining zero contact until they are ready is acceptable to preserve one's sanity and self care.

You openly admit hating Apple so your perception is tainted.

Same. I've had several refunds. No request to return. Just full money back.

I don't think people recognize how often a purchase made to Amazon or some similar seller platform is actually coming straight from China; always with a 2x or more mark up.

I've taken to always searching on ali to see if I can get the same thing for 1/10 the price. They don't try to hide the shipping information like Amazon does. Where as Amazon won't report anything until it's in country and passed customs.

How interesting that god in their infinite wisdom would fail to account for the design flaw. Or maybe they were lazy and just didn't care how these beings would appear to us.

Can an infinite being be lazy or fail to account for a design flaw? Seems less than infinitely wise to me.

And if it's just a test, why is this infinitely wise being running quality assurance on his creation. Shouldn't all that infinite wisdom have precluded the need for testing?

This is correct. It is often referred to as the Medicaid look back period. 60 months in most states where they will scrutinize ever transaction.

Used to be three years but congress, specifically a republican congress and president bush II with raised it to five years.

All senate democrats voted against it as well as a couple of republicans but Dick Cheney broke the tie.

Life is full of surprise. For example, I didn't expect the stupidest thing I'd read all week to be in this post's comments.

You've got a knack for this self righteousness, consistently too.

You can't even ask nicely. Good luck with that.

Am I did you give you my life story? You've asked no questions. Displayed no inquisitive nature from which to build a response.

You are the one throwing insults. I started with mocking tone and everything since has been placing a mirror to your insult attempts.

If you need an insult, I can easily provide one. You are a vapid know nothing.

Your inability to determine how I have reasoned my way into something is about you not me.

Your dismissal of my ability to reason this and claim I didn't reason myself into it, is a contradiction to the first half of your statement.

It would appear you are caught up by your own limitations. Your choice to project these limitations on others indicates you are incapable of recognizing others have not only different perspective but different life experiences.

Marketing doesn't work as well as marketers would like everyone to believe. It works better on people who believe it works.

This, plus giving extraneous information that may lead to incorrect presumptions.

Really just sounds like they are deploying government equipment. There is no report of it being hardware built by spaceX. That is all speculation and clickbait m.

The company makes money by delivering payloads to space. In the end they are a delivery company moving packages from point A to point B.

That the US government would use this service seems obvious. SpaceX is well known for profiting off government funds.

Oh soothsayer what does your wisdom say of those of us who saw them as sellouts? Or those of us that aren't enamored by consumerism? Or both?

It would appear you are the one who has normalized these things in your mind as you have accepted them as inevitables.

It's not rape if you're married.

Gotta stay married if you're pregnant.

Some states have codified: pregnant, bare foot and chained to the stoves

'Merica!

Ok, boomer.

You seriously believe this? This isn't a great documentary, it peddles conspiracies theories without attempting to prove any of its claims.

The channel this is posted on is clearly of one opinion and is pushing an agenda.

They are brought to a detention center, for a week, longer if they are showing signs of cult behavior. The video tries really hard to show this to be horrible and makes zero attempts to balance this in anyway. To me this sounds like a deprogramming center but to a tankie it is primed to accept its sinister and therefore will accept it without thinking.

This video actually proves that not everyone can be deprogrammed. Near the end the one of the North Korean's literally says North Korea is awesome and not a dictatorship because it says so in the constitution. Also, the lack of protesters during the famine are proof that every one believed in the leadership so much that there was no need to protest.

That's cult mentality. There are people who believe everything they hear and lack critical thinking skills. You might be one of them, but I am not.

To a critical observer this only serves to show how subversive propaganda is and how it can permanently break some people's minds.

The fact that that exists, shows we have freedoms. Show me the anti-north Korean propaganda that North Koreans can freely access.

How dare Biden not inform them that he wasn't corrupt!

Every republican is a corrupt piece of shit by default so it's really on Biden for failing to following their norms.

First hit

State of Maine offers free kits to residents

I quick search turned up some accredited labs that will send you an at home collection kit for air sampling.

It doesn't seen particular cheap; $100 per kit, minimum order three kits

I'm not going to link to them since this was a really quick search and do not want to come across as vouching for any particular lab.

If you're concerned, I suggest doing some indecent research on your options. Perhaps your state or locality has programs for testing.

But is it disinformation?

Spreading information is not the same as spreading lies.
