  • I think people are taking issue with calling this act of normal voting "a TikTok trend" as if TikTok deserves the credit for inspiring the youngsters. It would be better if the news media used platform-agnostic terms with social media to avoid promoting their brands. "Young Americans use social media to organize voters" etc

  • Wow I'm really glad I had heard stories about that stuff in the past. I had to see specialists for back problems and they offered that drug, and I said no thanks, and physical therapy did the trick for me also. I feel like I end up turning down half the drugs the doctors offer me in recent years.

  • Recent polls are showing a different side of it apparently

    "Just more than 60 percent of surveyed voters, including a majority of independents and 41 percent of Republicans, said it is “sad and shameful” for GOP candidates to make anti-LGBTQ rhetoric a part of their campaigns, according to the poll, which was released Thursday. "

  • You have a really optimistic view of how the police would respond there. I'd wager that they would be more likely to be mad at you for bothering them with that complaint than actually do anything about it. In my experience, helpful cops are rare.

  • So many movies show people getting into gun battles indoors, and they will jump behind a couch or flip over a coffee table and take shelter from a hail of bullets, like that thin furniture is going to stop anything.

  • That would be no problem, unless your electricity is unreliable and you don't have a UPS. I rarely use the power button on any of my PCs or Macs, except the one old PC that can't do S3 sleep anymore (crashes on wake).

    Are y'all not using sleep mode? Also the Apple M-cpus are extremely power efficient so leaving it on without sleep mode is a perfectly fine option too.

  • Wow that's horrible, and has to be terrible for kids' mental health and general perspective on the world. Kids should know what freedom feels like and expect it as the default, and this kind of repression is liable to result in more outbursts of any kind.

  • Right, the name Marathon should not have been put on a PvP online only game. The real Marathon game series was a major pioneer in the single player FPS genre and this new PvP shit is highly unlikely to be anything like it.

    Bungie took a bad wrong turn when they went all-in on online-only games. I bought Destiny 2 before it went F2P and never finished much of it just because it was just too much bullshit to keep up with for me to enjoy the game. I don't have time to organize raid parties and shit, I just want to hop into the game and have fun.
