It's also like when you ignore that video game makers research and develop how to make their game as addictive as possible and ignore an entire thread talking about it. Oh wait...

Social contacts or social contracts? Does gambling fall under this? I could see someone arguing that some of these games are essentially gambling.

Seems a bit hyperbolic considering the numbers.

In 2023, the Army and Air Force fell short of their respective goals by around 10,000 recruits, while the Navy was under by 6,000.

Wait, how would they not be removed from office by an election? Are you saying that elections will be ignored as well? That those in office will claim that they won the election and refuse a transfer of power?

So, I've seen this argument before. That humans should never eat meat because we have other options, but it's ok for animals. Given the opportunity, herbivores will eat meat on occasion. In your opinion, does that mean that humans are morally superior to every other thing on the face of the planet?

They have bone conduction ear phones now that can be picked up online

Yo, that's dope. As someone who is partially deaf, but mostly hears fine, I'm curious about this.

How about gaia? No one is on it anymore. That's where I first started to learn HTML.

They also generally call lan lines. Who has a lan line these days?

Some people have been saying that the current resurgence is more of a death throe. I truly hope so, but I'm worried.

In addition to that, most child marriages are young girls married to men twice their age.

Not to mention yuletide cheer comes from Wicca.

So, giving more funding to cops is the exact same thing as the culture war Republicans have drummed up. Huh, interesting take. Also interesting to note that the one person you mentioned who is actually moderate at best is the sole representation of the entire Democrat party. No nuance and no other ideas are allowed. Just Biden's. Got it.

No it's not. One isn't the greatest, sure. But the other actively wants to make the US a Christian theocracy.

Nah, a quarter of us protest for it, a quarter protest against it, and half pretend that both sides do the same thing and bury their heads in the sand.

You're not wrong there, but if you are at the "wrong" protest or the wrong skin color, you can easily find yourself in jail, the hospital, or dead from protesting peacefully.

If that were true, enough people would have to actually all do it at once. That in itself gives people enough fear to keep going to work.

Are you a troll or do you seriously not know what's going on?

You have to win for that to count.

This would be completely ineffectual. Gen z number about the same as boomers. If they showed up in the same percentage, we'd have our change. Not showing up makes it that much harder down the road. Given the plan of 2025, I firmly believe that if we have another Republican president, that even the pretense of a US democracy is over.

It takes someone willfully ignorant to think this is the same shit.
