Fact: most fictional media takes place on earth. They clearly mean the lore will be shared.

Because Democrats still seem to think that all it'll take to undo the damage is another Biden from the blue team.

The world's not trusting the United States unless there's dramatic change and people see justice, not 4 years of foot dragging and "reaching across the aisle."

I'll acknowledge my comment was rude, you are expressing humility now that wasn't present in your original assertive message. You hopefully have a better understanding now.

This misinformation about national debt that you unintentionally spread is used by conservatives around the world to deny people services

Some people when faced with an overly simple explanation doubt their own understanding and try to see why experts and academics say otherwise.

Others assume they know better than the experts and everyone is an idiot but them.

Maybe you know a lot about a topic, and see others choose one of those paths when questioning your area of expertise.

Which kind of person do you want to be?

Having the military defend the Constitution against tyrants is an idea baked into a lot of cultures, and is true of Turkey. It was a core idea of the Turkish Republic

Democrats and Republicans are aligned on trans erasure now.

Fucking idiot Dems think it'll stop there I guess.

I don't understand why Americans aren't marching to war against this shit, it's taking root.

One thing we overlook in ideological debates is that most forms of socialism and communism would have no use for advertising and marketing. Imagine all this effort going to productive endeavors and having an IRL adblock.

May my last online purchase be a beret.

While this is true, it's not difficult to verify. You can inspect the network traffic through your router from that device and see whether it's communicating more often or with larger data packets while you're talking near but not to it.

That could be obfuscated with a powerful enough device that's able to maintain the user profile locally and by sending the full profile each time, or by trickling the information out bit by bit as part of a regular heartbeat traffic, but that would require more expensive hardware and would eat up a lot more bandwidth.

Not impossible, but not undetectable either. I'm willing to bet that studies have been done.

Skepticism is good but without thinking through it, experimenting, or doing research to back it up it's just paranoia. Conversely you could say my trust that others would have looked into it is naive.

This question and the challenges in answering it just show how interconnected and mutually beneficial (putting aside the capitalist wealth extraction part) our economies were between Canada and the US.

We're struggling with this in our household as we review most of what we buy.
