Basically it means that you can return whatever verdict you want as long as you don’t say something stupid like “I don’t actually believe this by the way.”

You know, I’ve heard that the barter system, as a foundation of economics, is essentially made up. Like, obviously people barter, but the idea that it was a universal precursor to money was essentially invented by capitalists in the industrial era, who never could have dreamed of the myriad interesting ways thar people distributed wealth!

Apparently one of the more common ones was a sort of “gifting” system, where people just gave each other what they needed. 🤷 But of course this wasn’t universal either.

The truth is always important.

Bruh… It’s like 630 in the morning where I’m at. Take your non constructive bullshit somewhere else.

That’s what the call is for- you ask the local office if they can confirm that that officer is actually on patrol, exists, etc. Idk how that would work for ICE though; I don’t think you can just call up the federal ICE headquarters.

Crown Royal is Canadian. 🤷 Not sure if it’s available where you are though.

They’re labeled by type; one of those types happens to just be called “yellow.” It’s smooth and vinegary. Good on hot dogs and burgers.

But those other studies didn’t make the news though, did they? The thing about scientists is that they aren’t just scientists, and the impact of their work goes beyond the papers that they publish. If doing something ‘unethical’ is what it takes to get people to wake up, then maybe the publication status is a lesser concern.

Nobleknight Adventures (I believe this is the entire short, but there are others on the channel.)

Yea, so Hasbro owns Wizards of the Coast, which owns Magic The Gathering. One day, a guy that opens packs on camera got accidentally sent a pack from a set that hadn’t been released yet.

I forget the exact details, but WotC ended up sending some thugs to this guys house to retrieve the merchandise via intimidation, and the company those thugs worked for was related to the Pinkertons from your high school civics textbook. (Like, they had acquired them in a merger or something.)

😮‍💨 Great… I guess autism will be at the center of the mext big culture war. Yippee…

Worth noting by the way that instagram is owned by Meta - the very company the post is calling out.

I’m sure you’re joking, but actually I’m reading a very interesting book about this topic called “The Dawn of Everything: A New History of Humanity.”

It’s really concerned with freedom, and disputes the idea that the lack thereof is inherently tied to agriculture.

I used to have pretty serious lower back pain. Two things helped me out quite a lot, and you don’t need a doctor for either.

1: Exercise the lower back. Pain in the lower back is caused by muscle weakness.

2: Getting a different job. Yea it turns out that sitting at a desk for 12 hours causes hecka bad back pain. Although I’ve heard that sitting in a backless chair or yoga ball can help, since leaning against the back of your chair is what causes the miscle weakness.

Edit: Obviously this is just what worked for me; it might not be effective for people that have unusual causes like injury and stuff.

It should work fine in OP’s sentence, but sadly the word’s been ruined… A while back I heard someone over 40 use it as a noun in real life. 🫤

It might be a reference to the Ferengi, from Star Trek. They say “human” in a weird way to demonstrate their mild contempt.

I think there are much more substantial reasons at play here than just “not liking it,” and I think you knew that before you posted. :P

Social media is a double edged sword. It connects but also isolates… informs but also decieves. Entertains, but also cripples.

It’s crazy to think that things were so different even just 15 years ago. Maybe one day we can once again have a wholly positive relationship with this technology. But first, I think, we have to break the addiction.

In other words, I think this is a good start.

Eight years?! EIGHT?? I’m all about compassionate treatment alof criminals… but I feel like this is a quintessential example of a crime that deserves an indefinite sentence.
