It's crazy that Trump is being used as the harbinger of Christian nationlism. It's ironically because he has no morals and will say/do anything to get himself elected.

In my experience Adderall also gave me depression++ when I would come down at night.

We're literally the family with the drunk uncle who's really fun at parties but now the alcoholism has caught up and he just gets sad and angry when he gets drunk.

For higher level maths you can easily make a final where googling the solution if you don't know it will just slow you down.

Because the rules are in place and curated by professionals. What I don't want is every semi-educated group of extremists to have the ability to whine enough that they get important books banned.

This is called a motte-and-bailey. We were discussing a group trying to ban books about the Holocaust, and the larger concept about groups of parents being able to ban anything by whining about it enough. You put forward a different argument you think is bullet proof about banning sexual content with the implication that this argument defends the much weaker argument about banning Holocaust books or whatever books the mob may choose.

Just pointing that out. It's a common fallacy and one that feels right, it isn't necessarily done intentionally.

The freakout about sexual content is fabricated and designed to play to emotions. School libraries already ban sexual content. There's no smut or erotica at them. The small handful of books that people wanted to ban were either educational or were similar to many books that were not targeted by those parent groups and the sexual situations were not the focus of the book. The main similarity was that they were about LGBT sexualities.

I'm wondering if it's why I don't get so much as a rejection email for many of the jobs I've applied for. It always feels like submitting an application is just tossing it into the void but this study seems to corroborate that.

No, the drug Olympics gives them downers too.

I will be returning mine (the steering wheel desk)

Lol

They don't make you smart or cure dementia, but used sparingly and at the right moment they can make you act at your best for a few hours.

Cancer says maybe

Cucumber is the best for thirst, yellow is the best for hangovers, orange is good sports drink. Dark blue can suck a dick and the rest are fine.

Counterpoint: it's free and easy to use.

I mean, looking at trends of any company and the fact that Reddit is about to IPO it's only a matter of time before they ban the ability for community members to mod subreddits.

I hate that the government is full of deteriorated octogenarians. BUT Bernie Sanders is the last one that should leave.

When you see ai-related stories just remember: we're currently living through what, in another 10 or 20 years, will be remembered as the takeoff of AI. Wherever it goes, either heavily regulated or widespread, AI is only going to get exponentially better and it won't just be artists crowing about losing their jobs to it.

Tbf Funky Kong looks pretty divorced.

Monkey pays to live. He pays in the form of the daily labor of foraging, avoiding predators and finding shelter. It's just not converted to the generalized form of money and then back to the basic needs of the monkey like we do it.

Labor is the basic unit of wealth. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

Shout out to all the tiny islands who apparently do nothing but send their own flag to each other all day. We see you lite buddies.

It's not entirely clear what you're saying, but the sooner we acknowledge that children are inevitably formed by their environment and there's no "natural" way to let them somehow form themselves the sooner we can start discussing what is good to teach them and the correct way to do it.

A nice charm of Lemmy is that people will post this every couple of months until the site dies.

No shade to OP, it's a nice little consistent thing we'll have.

OwO what's this? I say, just before drilling a small hole in the fuel tank of the plane moments before takeoff.

Op is the doppelganger Karen of Lemmy. Complaining to everyone but the administration about something they are clearly wrong about.

Yeah, game publishers are in their "cash out" phase after realizing there's no competing against steam.

For anyone curious (1000000/50)/12 is 1666.66 which is how many years you would have to live to make a million dollars.

Fortunately, that was always the point. The hypothetical is stupid and makes no sense. But it really trips men up and exposes them as they rush to say "not all men" in a different way.

Ill never understand people like this. Sure, very spicy food is tasty but at some point you have to acknowledge that the actual flavor of pure capsaicin is not very good, you're just destroying the flavor profile of the dish.

I thought about that but I don't think that would take up data, it would take up power.

I'm glad you came up with a hypothesis, fortunately scientists have already tested your hypothesis (or something very analogous) and failed to prove it, in fact they have indicated the opposite effect.

I hope that in the name of scientific knowledge and progress you take this research into account and change your view based on the available information.

He got sucked into Right-wing extremism. Posting racist, sexist, homophobic and transphobic things on Twitter. Also got into Qanon I think.

It's a riff on a popular study that showed adding more lanes to reduce highway congestion can paradoxically increase congestion on those highways.

They said approximately.

Just for anyone who has this thought: your stool can have blood in it occasionally for trivial reasons, when you should be concerned is when your stool is pitch black, that means youre bleeding somewhere farther up your digestive tract and that is when it's a problem.

I read somewhere that it is a symptom of a certain type of artificial muscle-building drug that goes overboard on the chest muscles but that was a reddit comment from a while ago so its probably bullshit.

Idk. If we called a certain cancer "the Hitler disease" that would probably get across how dangerous it is.
