Didn't that belong to HR Giger?

Voting for government is not "who do you think should be in charge" it's "these are your options now". Your time to change those options is way way before the election.

Not voting is voting "ehh, just whoever everyone else thinks."

Abstaining isn't the big brain move you think it is.

"A million dollars is not unreasonable. And a billion is just one more than a million. And a trillion is just one more than that. So, like, being a trillionaire is only 3 times more than being a millionaire, so what's the big deal?"

Whoa whoa, the government is NOT anti-mask.

Take ICE for example...

A handy guide to America:

Wearing a mask to prevent the spread of infection during a global pandemic? It's an excuse to hide your face, you literally cannot breate through it, and it's a symbol of leftist fascism.

Wearing a mask literally to hide your identity so you can physically accost and abduct anyone under the pretense of 'immigration authority' with zero need for due process so there are no repercussions when you are wrong? That's protecting your country.

Yeah, but then you have packaging costs, and distribution costs, and marketing costs, and shareholder dividends, and CEO bonuses, and AI integration, and lobbying costs....

So really, we're practically losing money at a $450/month subscription.

Who? Who thought this was even a remote possibility from Republicans?

Uh, apartments are small and house parents with their children... aka a nuclear family. So, checkmate, library.

/s (jesus christ it's depressing that's necessary)

If it's anything like last time, it'll be about 6 years.

At this rate it looks like we should count the first 4 years, so help should begin around September 2027.

"What's happening in California would never happen in Arkansas because we value order over ~~chaos~~ justice."

That's quite literally admitting to being fascists.

I think it could be dangerous given the limited scientific literacy of the general public.

I can imagine a slew of issues where people treat it like fat/calories and assume lower is "better", or where other people think it's like a vitamin and high is "better".

I think 95% of people wouldn't look, but that last 5% would be a mix of people that use it to their benefit as you suggest and people that misuse it as I cynically assume.
