American prisons are a horror show, I can confidently say I would rather die.

Ah so the workaround is that as long as cruel punishment is normalized, it's always acceptable. You can do something unethical today, and as long as people let you get away with it, it's completely moral.

Thanks America!

This is criminal, but I guess it's okay because the 13th amendment says prisoners are property so they don't have to worry about their health, safety and rights.

It happens yes, but I stopped because I understood that insects / mold / organisms grow on fruit and vegetables, so I think of it as gross now, but it beat a hairbrush handle.

Same

This wasn't satire? I expected Hell in a Cell, but got QAnon levels of paranoia

Well before I got voted down, that was my point. China and Taiwan consider both territories as China. This literally means that Taiwanese see Taiwan as China, and both belief systems are in agreement about there being one China, they just disagree about how that works.

Foreigners don't get that Taiwanese see themselves as Chinese, and it's just infinitely more complex than they are two different countries, mostly because that's not really the case.

I low key love it. It's unconventional, but it's not hard to read

Taiwanese citizens are in fact Chinese citizens because Taiwan is part of China, the political reality is more complex than I think people realize, but China considers Taiwan to be part of China.

How is this 'politics'?

Falling asleep at work is pretty different than 'beating Medicare' or completely losing track of the topic and saying utter nonsense. When Trump does similar things, it still looks different, it's not a double standard so much as he goes off on incoherent narcissistic tirades and Joe just loses all cohesion of thought.

Trump's personality and charisma make it look completely different.

I'm saying it is more likely they knew he had COVID but thought cancelling / delaying would be a bad political move, and now are announcing it because it might achieve the opposite, concern and understanding.

This also might be a prelude to him stepping down in favor of another candidate or Harris.

So I think it's more likely it was known, and this is a calculated release of information.

This explains the debate, it was COVID! That's why his voice was strange, people were saying he seemed like he was sick.

I highly highly doubt Biden has another half decade of useful life left.

It doesn't have an actual cartridge slot, so it's not strictly superior

Exactly why won't take root there

I miss it. I came over right after Digg died, almost half a decade before 2010. Thought it was the ugliest site I had ever seen and found it super confusing.

People did largely speak their minds though, lots of controversial posts and uncensored humor, yeah it was nice, but the change in Reddit really mirrors general cultural changes too, it was more driven by Gen X and older millennials, more tech driven, and more what people would call edgy.

It was the wild west not so much because Reddit specifically was, but because that's what broad tech bro Internet culture was. We also had relatively unmoderated Xbox Live and online gaming and other things that are hard to explain to folks now.

What we would call social media existed, Digg called it Social Bookmarking for a Digg / Reddit / Slashdot model. Myspace was just giving away to Facebook, Twitter was getting off the ground, and chat rooms, like Yahoo chatrooms and Geocities were so unhinged back then.

2005 is around the time that Yahoo started looking major ground to Google when just a few years prior it was the undisputed default search engine.

Neat to think about all this again.

This made me read her name, not as Heather, but like Heather, like more Heath.
