And our rates of intestinal cancer have been rising steadily to the point where now it's a common killer, so we've become afraid of it in our quest to live long, pain-free lives.

Things change as we learn. Why we don't use lead in our pipes anymore. Safe, biocompatible plastic only.

More than just grift... this is the new militant wing of MAGA. They're a new branch of armed forces that operate entirely on our soil. We've got concentration camps opening, we've got a MASSIVELY funded brown-shirts, and dark tech civilian-profiling AI behind all that... This is pretty much my worst fears from last November coming to life.

I run a social club for gay men, and we've talked about coming up with an app that's run by a non-profit, with social workers on the board, that's designed to actually connect people, not keep them glued to the app. Friendship, dates, activity partners, whatever.

I don't know why no one has come up with the non-profit model here but if I can get enough steam, we're doing it.

There are other causes here.

They've been talking for a while about how the low participation in dating by Gen Z women is because they're tired of being the entire support system for men experiencing a loneliness epidemic.

It's a lot of pressure for the women to be under, and so they're withdrawing.

I'm guessing this is one of the driving forces as well. Lack of real, emotionally intimate human connections around them. Many men are quite fucked in that regard right now.

He was already the favorite, Trump's endorsement here will cinch that up

There are only a few outcomes that would lead down that road, and while I hope for one of them, I am pretty convinced they'll all die happy and rich in their warm beds of old age after getting lots of plastic surgery and riding on lots of jets and jetskis

Actually, the IRS is experimented with a psychological means of making people feel like they’re donating to certain things, Apparently, in focus groups, it makes people suddenly a lot less pissed about paying income tax if they can say “this goes to national defense” or “this goes to education.”

Problem is you can’t actually give people a choice, just the illusion.

I live in Arkansas and got my first lone star tick this year, thankfully I noticed right as it was biting me. 7 ticks in one month, mostly deer. Insane.

Dried or fresh cherries will also produce the effect in sufficient quantity. Which is how I learned not to eat a bag in a sitting.

Lot of poor folks driving around expensive ass Chargers, 300s, Escalades, Mustangs, etc well beyond what they can afford in the South. Then parking them in front of a trailer park or shittiest house you can imagine, with kids playing in the dirt around it.

Bill Clinton stepped in at the last minute to endorse the Dem incumbent, yeah the establishment (which is 95% of the Democratic party) won't be thrilled.

 

I posted a good faith post about the angry posts coming out of WomensStuff, knowing I was breaking the community's rules but it was a meta discussion about that rule itself. I guess I wasn't going to be shocked to be banned there, but again, this was a good faith post that wasn't trolling. Lots of men were chiming in about the subject itself.

I wake up to find I've been banned across multiple communities and servers, because the mods have updated to say, "My blood pressure too high rn."

Is this was Lemmy actually is? Worse than Reddit because the rules are "fuzzy" and every mod can do whatever they want, because they're having a bad day?
