Women, POC, Queer people, disabled people, poor people, and multiple other types of people will suffer

One major group of people seems to be always left out of these lists as if they're unaffected by everything.

Just want to note here that inflation going down doesn't mean the prices will drop. It only means they stop increasing or the increase slows down. For prices to go down we'd need to be experiencing deflation which is incredibly bad for the economy.

We’re at the point where either they go, or we all do.

I'm sure this argument has been used before as well.

Dehumanizing the other has succesfully been used to to make normal people commit horrible acts in the past as well.

Yay murder

Spaghetti or any other long ones. Annoying to eat.

Okay, well, how is it that Americans aren't ready to hear them not understanding something?

How is you not understanding that the fault of the Americans?

I can tell you 100 stories of telling a man to eat more so that they wouldn't be so skinny.

I don't think it's sexist. It's just rude, no matter who you're asking. I'd equate it to someone asking me to dress differently as if it's my job to please them.

Turns out that he didn't die after all so none.

Standard Notes. It's like Google Keep but without Google.

If I need to remember something I either take a note or add it to my calendar. Otherwise I wont.

Time travel to the future is possible if you travel fast enough. For example, traveling to the nearest galaxy at near-light speed wouldn’t take long for you, though it would take significantly longer for those observing you from Earth.

As for traveling to the past, I imagine it might involve the many-worlds interpretation of quantum physics, where every possible event that can happen does happen in a separate timeline. In this view, you wouldn’t be “changing” the past but rather experiencing an alternate version of it.

I don’t believe in free will, so I’m not concerned about the idea of altering the future by changing the past. If you traveled back in time and killed Hitler, it wouldn’t affect this timeline’s future; instead, you’d simply enter a timeline where that event occurred. The future of your original timeline would remain unchanged.

Spotify is the only streaming service I've ever paid for and few months back I even canceled that.

How do you separate the two? The fact that it persists in nature for hundreds of years is what makes it bad. I don't mind someone throwing banana peels into a forest.

Littering is one of those things I struggle the most to understand.

I can somewhat grasp it in extreme cases, like when you’re dealing with something really dirty and there’s nowhere to put it. But I’m talking about casual littering - things like throwing candy wrappers on the ground when you could just as easily put them in your pocket.

I don’t think anyone sees themselves as a bad person. Even when we engage in bad behavior, we usually have some story we tell ourselves to justify it. But I can’t put myself in the mindset of someone who casually throws trash on the ground for someone else to clean up. It’s kind of like walking around and cussing at random people - it just doesn’t make any sense. You have to know that you're the problem.

Nah, I poop when I wake up, then second time after having my coffee and third time before leaving.

Speak for yourself. I've pooped three times before I'm even out of the house.

It dies down when people stop posting but every post there receives replies.

All it really says is it can’t definitively say either way.

No it doesn't. It clearly says there that the original claim made in the book, which is the same claim you're making here, is false yet you keep spreading it.

Your claim: he shut down Starlink to stop a Ukrainian assault

Truth: the Ukrainians THOUGHT coverage was enabled all the way to Crimea, but it was not

Elon didn't disable anything. It was never enabled in the first place. Your claim is simply just false.
