Yea… I’m not so sure that doing the exact opposite of what is causing voters to swing conservative is how you win them over.

Does that not only have 41 sites listed?
Guess “my body, my choice” stops mattering to you once it’s no longer politically useful, huh?
Back in grade 9 I had trouble showing my work in math because I did it all in my head. My teacher, not believing that was possible, challenged me one day after class to do a tough problem in my head, in front of her. Upon writing a number down, before I could double check myself, she started yelling at me for being a cheat and a fraud… because I “forgot the negative sign.” That was the day that I stopped caring entirely whether or not others gave me validation, because it’s really more about whether or not they like you rather than whether or not you’re actually right about anything. It’s a decision that perhaps made my life harder for a while, but has resulted in the development of talents which I am quite grateful for, and eventually a near perfect score when I re-did grade 12 math later on to get into STEM.
Seeking validation from others can just as easily steer you wrong, as they are anything but an impartial indication of whether or not you’re doing things right. If the person doesn’t like you, there’s nothing at all in the world which will be good enough for them, and if they do like you, they’ll gloss over and sugar coat everything to the point you can’t even tell if they’re being honest with you.
Nope, divining the inner workings of the minds of others is beyond me. I can only tell you about the world that I see.
As someone who has never really cared about validation, from being an outcast since I was a child, the way much of social media is designed in an attempt to seek validation drives me nutts. I just want to see interesting things that people want to share, and engage in discussions with types of people that I wouldn’t normally meet in real life.
The Adventures of Brisco County, Jr. is my personal favourite of Bruce Campbell’s work. Starts off as any ordinary western, before getting very, very weird.

Come to think of it, Firefly might count, after watching Serenity at the end of the series.
Come home, chill, chop some trees, level some skills, be a mage and kill some bad guys
Well, that sounds a lot like what I found in Albion Online, though I can’t speak for how it’s changed. From what I understand, it has some extensive guild/clan systems too, where you can work together to build larger projects and wage war with rivals.
Bit of an interesting game, when I tried it a long time ago, but it was too much of a grindfest for me. Then again, I never got into Runescape either for similar reasons.
That’s horrible! I can’t believe how these criminals are wasting the money that should rightfully be getting used for cheese pizza and hot dog parties!
If you think this is a partisan issue you are woefully naive to the nature of those people who seek the sorts of powers that big tech promises.
Thank you kind sir and/or madame for providing a great deal more education on the human skull trade than I had ever intended to pursue!
Anyway… how can you ethically source a skull and then sell it on the open market?
You pay an intern in your marketing department to write “ethically sourced” on all your customer facing surfaces.
I wonder if you can get it to say anything bad about any specific person. Might just be that they nuked the ability entirely to avoid lawsuits.
Join a “fun league” sports team, take a community arts course, go to church, work for a volunteer organization, just to name a few ideas.
Because being an industry leader is more about controlling people rather than whatever it is that your industry produces.
It’s for those backless wheelchairs, so they have someplace to lean against and rest.
This is what you get when you submit to psychopaths.
That awkward moment when you realize you helped it happen because you got a chance to chirp at people you didn’t like.
