Christ's sake...

This is the fediverse, you can't assume everyone sees the same comments when everyone's on different instances. And that's not even getting into how people block other accounts.

This is like pulling fucking teeth. So speaking of block lists...

There’s plenty of evidence that points to Iran building a nuke.

By all means share it with the class...

Because Israel's government isn't. And neither is any other government.

So I'm sure lots of people would absolutely love to see your proof

Otherwise, it's more likely Israel is lying because they've been saying Iran is a few years away from having nukes for literal decades. It means as much as Elmo saying Tesla will have auto omous driving in a few years

You don't have to trust her.

But if she says the sun will come up tomorrow, it doesn't mean we need to plan to live the rest of our days in fucking darkness man...

Like. You understand that right? Someone can be a habitual liar, but that doesn't mean the opposite of everything they say is true.

And Harvey Weinstein's lawyers say he's totally innocent too...

trumps been using the DOJ as his own lawyers, they're always gonna say he can do whatever he wants. Literally, they said nothing about this can be weighed on by any court:

“Our view is that this statute commits the decision whether to call up the forces to the president’s unreviewable discretion,” Shumate answered. “So no, there’s no role for the court to play in reviewing that decision.”

It two trump judges and one from Biden. And while the trump judges clearly disagree, they're gonna kick it to the SC.

Which is what was always going to happen here. Newsom isn't dumb enough to think a lawsuit would fix anything, he's just grandstanding because he wants to run for president.

He's doing horrible shit...

But he hasn't been actively committing a genocide like Israel has.

If you think trump is doing as bad of shit as Israel. You don't know what the fuck you're talking about.

The alternative is believing Israel's government...

And they're an openly genocidal far right government made up of violent religious extremists...

Like, America is bad right now

But Israel has been on some straight up Nazi shit for a while now, because both Biden and Trump let Israel do whatever

Saying Iran isn't building nukes is the most pushback Israel has gotten since Obama was in office

He's retiring after the end of this term, around the time he announced (I think) is when he kept "freezing" in public...

But he's back out of his shell, and seems to have a reverse Fettermen situation going on...

But McConnell has always been about the long game, he's spent an entire lifetime setting up a conservative coup of the US government...

And then trump showed up out of nowhere and has zero patience or planning and is blowing the whole thing up by acting early.

It's possible McConnell isnt pissed about what's happening, he's just mad they didn't wait another decade or so till the coup would be a sure thing. But out of all the Senate Republicans, he's by far been the most critical of this admin.

Blue states can take care of themselves, and in this political environment they're unlikly to pitch in for red states.

trump is stupid and doing things too fast, the Republican M.O. has always been delaying consequences till a Dem has control

A lot of shit is going to break before midterms, and that's going to depress a lot of votes

And he's not gonna shrink the federal workforce more than Bill did in the 90s...

Well, really Hillary was taking credit for it at the time, but even though they campaigned as a "two for one" people don't want to give Hillary credit for all the damage she did as first lady.

Because they were randomly attacked by a genocidal far right country...

What the fuck did you expect would happen?

And the best search engine was HotBot. Fight me.

Dogpile 4 life...

30 some years ago?

Everything was just more fractured. Instead of a handful of options for social media, there were thousands of forums on their own websites. ICQ handled IMs and away messages was basically twitter. Before YouTube/spotify everyone used Winamp and internet radio streams for music, you didn't have songs on demand, but compared to local "real" radio or MTV it was an overwhelming about of choice.

It's honestly not that much different though.

but could not find a clear reason for this new flip-flop

trump wants 3k deportees a day...

ICE won't go after actual criminals or gang members because they're scared...

They already can't meet the quota, even going after workers allowed to be here. And they're never going after actual criminals because that's dangerous and difficult.

But no matter what they do, they're eventually going to run out of targets who will comply. Either because they deported them all already. Or because they rethought what compliance gets them.

Trolls trying to argue in bad faith.

The brand new accounts that keep asking this same question over and over again?

Yeah. They're absolutely trolling this sub...

But uv blocking sunscreen literally impedes the body's natural synthetization...

And that's not even getting into how OP is explicitly talking about correlation, and people still keep confusing it with causation

What?

Vitamin D is something we don't get much of from a modern diet, and we need a substantial amount to make very important neurotransmitters, the lack of which causes depression and anxiety, or at least symptoms to be worse, meaning complaints are more likely.

Like, that's a real scientific thing we've known for decades.

https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9468237/

A correlation with increase use of sunblock, I'm not really sure of. I'd assume it's more that people spend substantially less time in the sun in general regardless of UV blocking.

It was a meme in the Navy, if anyone looked sad or mentioned depression while out to see, the first fucking thing everyone said was "drink more milk" because they put a shit ton of vitamin D in the milk for that reason.

The second was usually "smoke more cigarettes" tho, because most of the time to smoke you had to go stand on a deck in the sun.

But especially for /shower thoughts, there's not a lot to judge OP on here. It's pretty accurate and something that someone very well could have just realized one day

Yeah, most people are just going to block them and be done with it...

You realize women could hold bank accounts in America for most of the countries existence...

Right?

Then they weren't, and then in the 1970s they were allowed again.

Same goes for owning land.

But if you want someone to explain stuff, you might want to ask nicely, it sounds like you want an argument. I don't have time for that.

It's programmed to maximize engagement at the cost of everything else.

If you get "mad" and accuse it of working with the Easter Bunny to overthrow Narnia, it'll "confess" and talk about why it would do that. And maybe even tell you about how it already took over Imagination Land.

It's not "artificial intelligence" it's "artificial improv", no matter what happens, it's going to "yes, and" anything you type.

Which is what makes it dangerous, but also why no one should take it's word on anything.

Another person, a 42-year-old named Eugene, told the Times that ChatGPT slowly started to pull him from his reality by convincing him that the world he was living in was some sort of Matrix-like simulation and that he was destined to break the world out of it. The chatbot reportedly told Eugene to stop taking his anti-anxiety medication and to start taking ketamine as a “temporary pattern liberator.” It also told him to stop talking to his friends and family. When Eugene asked ChatGPT if he could fly if he jumped off a 19-story building, the chatbot told him that he could if he “truly, wholly believed” it.

So...

I think I might know what happened to Kelon...
