Hell the link between glyphosate and cancer HAS been extensively researched, and was found to likely not even exist.

I truly do believe that the US govt. and regulating bodies do not prioritize or even consider the health of people with uteruses, and this could be a symptom of that.
But if you're gonna blow the whistle on something like this, make sure it is well researched.

because it is easy to hide behind arguments about securing voter fraud and nobody wants to be pro-voter fraud. You may be arguing in good faith, but these kinds of things are how they get people like you to do their dirty work for them. It's a smokescreen with the same end goal as voter ID. (2/2)

This is HOW they are doing the real thing.
Make the nearest polling location inaccessible to those without vehicles, walking abilities, etc.
Wait for the affected people to use mail-in voting instead.
Bring into question the validity of mail-in ballots.
Step 3 is especially dangerous (1/?)

These systems should be as permissive as they need to be to maximize voter turnout, anything else is a tacit form of voter suppression.

The solution to these problems is not to do away with them, it is to reduce the need for them because they are indicitive of larger problems of voter disenfranchisement.
Don't like provisional ballots? Make it easy to update registration.
Don't like mail-in voting? Ensure access to voting sites.

Or, hear me out, if it was mailed on election day.
Counting and validating over 100 million votes is something that should take multiple days.
I agree that it is bad optics for it to extend for weeks and months on end, but the compromise here isn't to limit mail-in voting.

The solution is to ensure timely delivery of those ballots. Ya know, by not gutting the USPS. Invalidating any ballot based on criteria outside the voters control is ghoulish.

Also "I bought this before elon went crazy" like he hasn't been like this at LEAST since the hyperloop and boring company stuff 12 years ago. These people aren't driving 2010 roadsters.

Absolutely DO NOT do this.
ProPublica knows what they're doing, they know what tools to use to maintain anonymity. You pose a greater risk to those who need security.
To anyone considering sending through a third party: Only do so with someone you trust, and DO NOT SHARE VIA UNSECURED CHANNELS.

Babe i literally have a comic for this

That's the poster's signoff. But also, there exists two distinct legal systems, one for the rich, powerful, and those who serve them, and another, for those that don't, queer people, bipoc, those who dissent.
ICE is an extension of the latter.

FOV slider that goes up to at least 105 horizontal, preferably 120
Resizable window that doesn't break UI elements (letterboxing is fine)
Disable screen-shake, head-bob, motion-blur
Closed Captioning (subtitles + audio description)
Sliders for music/sfx/dialog+combined with 100 ticks

They are well informed. The cruelty is the point.

If you haven't already, try Kicking Horse Coffee Three Sisters. That, pour-over, ~195deg F (91 deg C) water was the first cup of coffee that I actually enjoyed drinking.

And pre-ground coffee oxidizes super quickly which also makes it taste worse.
comment in response to
post
I did the exact same thing and now i love coffee.
How you actually make the coffee is super important!! A lot of drip coffee makers heat the water way too hot and are essentially burning the coffee. I like french press and pour over a lot because I can boil the water then wait a bit to cool.

Maybe I'm way off base. I'm not a literary analyst, and it's certainly not my place to even point out what is and isn't offensive here. I just thought it was odd that i couldn't find anyone talking about the game in anything less than a glowing light, while i was seeing these characterizations.
comment in response to

Like the game is fine, fun even, Im not trying to cancel it or anything, but playing it just leaves a sour taste in my mouth and I dont see anyone else mentioning this.
comment in response to
post
actions and words. Which would be fine, if the game was trying to say anything about that, but so far it seems laser focused on anti-AI as the core theme.
I'm about 5 or so hours in and Mio hasn't interrogated a single thing shes done or said.

Movie**
comment in response to
post
Gone are the days when you had a handful of VHS/DVDs that you'd rewatch and only occasionally watched new movies. No time to think critically about what you've just seen when netflix just auto-plays another moving 30 seconds after the previous one. It's certainly not the only reason, but one of many

I would say it is easier today to become actively media literate than ever before (well maybe before LLMs made search engines unusable). Simultaneously, it's easier to be passively media illiterate. That is to say it is easier to not look at the media you consume critically when there's always more.
comment in response to

And this isn't really the fault of those consuming the media, it's just a side effect of there always being *something new* to watch, play, read, listen to. And it kind of seems unsolvable beyond people taking initiative to break out of the content firehose.
comment in response to
post
Even growing up in the early '00s, with the pre-platform internet, i consumed a lot of 90s and 80s media but, the sheer amount of new media, produced on a much faster timeline, with much more widespread availability has in effect made people take less time analyzing the media they consume.

Israel isnt killing Palestinians because of what Palestinians believe. They are killing Palestinians to maintain control, gain power, and make money.
comment in response to
post
You're correct, I just think it's important to note that believing in a deity isn't the actual root of the evil here. Misguided and stupid sure, but the evil lies in those who use that belief as a tool to control a population, gain power, and profit.

me being personally aware of the scam is besides the point when children are dying.
comment in response to

That isn't incompatible with what I'm saying.
The nuance here is that palestinians and israelis do not share equal fault in the genocide.

Religion is a tool used by the powerful to control the masses. It is the powerful who must be destroyed if anything meaningful is to change.

I know that. I'm transgender, I'd gladly eradicate the concept of religion if given the chance. I just don't think everyone with religious beliefs deserves eradication in stride.
Nuance.
