Love too debate germ theory

Oh is it Abolish The Senate O’Clock already?

Nothing would make me feel better when whipping my dick out than having to do it while standing very close to a robot with arms and a face

Search engines are not a form of generative AI and it’s ok for you to admit you don’t know something about a topic Pete

It bears remembering that Norman Vincent Peale was Donald Trump's childhood pastor and officiated his first wedding. He absolutely believes in new thought and thinks that he can simply manifest his desires into existence.

Reminds me of the “I got so tired of all these doctors and nutritionists telling me that if I ate right, exercised, and got 8 hours of sleep a night I’d feel better and get in shape so I did it for 6 weeks to prove it’s bullshit and I regret to inform you…”

Maybe an option to opt out of the discover feed? Like, is there any reason someone shouldn’t be able to opt out of a feed they’ve been added to?

We legitimately don’t talk enough about how goddamn stupid he is

I’ve had a couple physicals in the last decade and they never had me take a cognitive test, does he think the fact that his doctors keep making him take them is something that happens when they aren’t worried about your cognitive aptitude?

It is *wild* how much better it is living in an urban or suburban area with a lot of mature trees vs very few or none. To add to the quoted list, trees also dampen noise pollution
