Oh, I forgot that this week is when we get an influx of "If you start X at Y time, Z will happen at midnight" posts.

It's more so that the uploader gets the most watch time and engagement and therefore the biggest paycheck per video.

BTW, down voting is seen as engagement and prioritized just the same as up voting. Doesn't matter which button you're pushing as long as it's on the platform.

Was going to post this if it wasn't already linked. I watched this when it came out and was highly skeptical right up until the demonstration. It did exactly what she wanted and now I want one too.

Enby here - the only one making me feel like I'm treated like a joke is you. Your "problems" are just victim-blaming Drag for the hate the trans community gets as a whole. Drag isn't responsible for that, and the person repeating transphobic talking points right now is YOU.

Right now, you're not being an ally. Either educate yourself, or stop speaking for us.

Yep. It also leads to corruption if you're not making a living wage. You'll need to supplement your income somewhere, so why not do it while on the job and kill two birds with one stone?

"With Democrats like these, who needs Republicans"

It did what it needed to.

Now that the damage is done, they can pretend to have integrity again to convince people to believe them when they publish the next "miracle study".

Do you know what happened to the gun afterwards?

That's obviously a credible threat, considering how many girls he has chained up.

Oh it's copypasta! Lol - So cute.

Lol. Cute bait.

Someone accused of war crimes, so about as far from a civilian as you can get, too

This analogy is garbage. The "nicotine vape for kids" isn't Balatro, it's loot boxes. Balatro would be like candy cigarettes.

They could also provide the cheaper alternative, generating revenue for the government, providing goods at a discount and forcing corporations to match prices.

Like that'll happen, though.

We were so rough with them as kids. If I didn't have a blister on my palm after playing Mario Party 2, something went wrong.

Ends in XcQ - link stays blue.

On a road trip, got food poisoning so bad that I couldn't eat for 5 days, barely kept fluids down and was so weak that walking into an appointment, the doctor told me to go to urgent care.

They gave me an IV, did an ultrasound, and gave me some anti-nausea and anti-diarrhea meds, which barely helped. It still took 3 or 4 days before I started feeling better.

Insurance comes back with a 5K bill. They claimed that even though I had my regular prescriptions go through both before and after the trip, the trip claim itself was denied because it was "during a time when I did not have coverage".

Took several months and phone calls of pointing out the before/after is approved without questions so there's no way to claim I wasn't covered during this one week. Every human I spoke to agreed with me, but it still took months.

Already emailed my rep. Absolutely disgusting.

"Guys, the iceberg wasn't even that big. I'm as skeptical of the Titanic's engineers as the next guy, but right now, my side of the ship is farther out of the water than it's ever been. Wake me up when the ship ACTUALLY starts sinking."

I've always understood it as "This is apparent to people who are familiar with the issue, but since I am not, I have to take their word for it. If I looked into the issue, I'm reasonably certain I would come to the same conclusion."

Apparently that's not how other people parse it, though.
