Social media sites should have 'reverse' Parental Controls; where adult children can block their boomer/senior parents' accounts from viewing conspiracy and radicalizing content.

  • Fascism is winning because fascists have been given a voice by people refusing to ban them. It's what happened with Hitler, it's what's happening with the AfD in Germany, it's what's happening with the PVV in the Netherlands.

  • You never give in to fascists.

    • Right now I'm working myself up, I'm in the 4-5 range. How many pills do you plan on taking when you're older?

    Jump

  • I'm currently taking 10. Long Covid, esophageal dysmotility, asthma and menopause are a bitch.

    HRT (2 meds), 2 lots of heart meds, statins, omeprazole, blood pressure meds, antihistamines, betablocker, inhaler.

    • Most people in the workforce today have never had to answer the question "Smoking or nonsmoking?"

    Jump

  • Germany still has restaurants with smoking sections. For some weird reason nobody seems to have heard of passive smoking.

    • What is the most unfriendliest country that you’ve visited?

    Jump

  • My parents went there a while ago. They hated it.

  • I see this comment so often and I've never experienced it. People have actually been lovely most of the time. I've been to Paris, Normandy, Brittany, the Auvergne, Corsica, Marseille, Chamonix, etc. No problems.

    In the Auvergne I went to visit a castle with my little boy, and the gates closed just as we got to the front of the line. The guy who was one of their role players (they have a "Medieval" court there in summer) gave us a personal tour.

    • What is the most unfriendliest country that you’ve visited?

    Jump

  • I agree. I've visited so many countries and the US was the worst. It didn't really matter where in the US I was either.

    • What are some countries you’ve visited that shocked you with unexpected friendliness?

    Jump

  • Not a country but a city: Berliners are notorious for being unfriendly but I've yet to meet one I didn't get along with.

    • light pollution

    Jump

  • If you get the chance, go to visit Berlin Charlottenburg ASAP. It's still lit with gas lights. No light pollution.

    • If you could add, remove, or alter one single bodily function, what would it be?

    Jump

  • Does the need for particular hormones count as a single bodily function? Asking for a post menopausal person.

    • With Tim Pool in the White House Press Pool, will we ever find out what's under that beanie?

    Jump

  • Russian matryoshka style. Figures.

    • So this is it, is trump god? Will Republicans sacrifice their own well being to own the libs?

    • How do man-made hiking trails keep the grass from overgrowing the dirt portion of the trail?

    Jump

  • Where I live they're not maintained at all. If nobody uses them for a while they disappear. I have a "path" nearby that's on every single map but you can no longer see it used to be a path.

  • My wife was marked down on her PhD because she "wasn't nice enough" to her supervisor. All the assessors gave her top marks, but her supervisor vetoed them.

    • How Much Have You Lost?

    Jump

  • I'd just invested in Rheinmetall and gained instead of losing.

    • Why hasn't congress passed a law saying that you can only deport people back to their own country?

    Jump

  • Laws don't matter. The government is breaking laws left, right and centre.

    • What purpose do carbohydrates OTHER than sugars serve in the body?

    Jump

  • The brain runs on carbs.

    Which definitely explains some people.
