Americans have been voting for significant change since Obama ran on "Hope and Change" and delivered neither. Harris promised Even More Of The Same and people said 'No, but For Real this time.'

People. Do. Not. Want. All. This. And they voted for someone, again, who said they'd change things. Let's go.

Obviously the specifics will be private to you but can you elaborate a bit? This idea resonates with me.

Not all of us are in favor of trillion dollar deficits but we have almost no political power. :(

The people being voted out are afraid because they know the power they have been wielding against their opponents and now it's being turned on them.

>we’re already trying to climb out of a hole of historically serving affluent/whiter audiences

Imagine saying this in the US about any other race. They write this stuff and then blame us for not wanting to read their other output.

I'm glad that you're admitting this is happening.

There's really no limit to the public's willingness to vote for politicians who overspend (at least in the USA) so we'll find out soon enough how high our debt can go. :(

The good news is that it's ALL misinformation so nothing has been lost or gained.

They didn't write that it was likely, just that NPR willingly participated in the Establishment campaign to suppress and distort the lab leak hypothesis.

Painting those of us concerned with privacy as "people prone to wild conspiracy theories" is a very bad faith take.

Please do not give the government any more power over me than they already have, thanks.

Call me when it's more than wishful thinking and promises

You know why

Those 'boner pills' you are so dismissive of allowed me to find a relationship, get married, and start a family.

Impotence is a real issue that many men suffer from, not just directly but also from being that butt of constant mockery.

It is a gigantic quality-of-life issue and we can all benefit by stopping laughing at Men's issues.

That's great but irrelevant to the topic.

That price was paid for by an American consumer or taxpayers.

People in the top 25% are not wasting their time posting comments to Reddit et al.

People who _think_ they are in the top 25%, sure.

If single-payer healthcare means that I have to now monitor my - city - county - state - federal entities to see if they will be levying individual food taxes... I don't know - I don't want to have to do that. That is just making life even more exhausting than it already is.

It's not "sharing" if it's forced.

Drive a semi over those cobblestones daily for a year and we'll see how they are doing.

The hypothetical housing is doing great!

Classic literature, poetry, a bank check and more.

Welcome to our most expensive sales of January, February and March 2024.

We kick off the year with early American artifacts, poetry from the Victorian era, an occult handbook and first editions of all kinds: a 16th century map still found in modern-day classrooms, Sylvia Plath’s life-imitating-art as well as the Hemingway work that would help put his name down in history.

Modernity has poisoned our waters, created and unleashed novel sicknesses upon the world, harnessed the atom in order to destroy life, and hides behind medicine as if that excuses all of it.

> Anyone have any good ideas for how we're going to do politics now?

If a business is showing a demo of this you can be assured that the Government already has this tech and has for a period of time.

> How will we vote for national candidates if nobody knows what they think or say?

You don't know what they think or say now - hopefully this disabuses people of this notion.

UK: Coins the term 'thoughtcrime'.

Also UK: Criminalizes 'thoughtcrime'.

> If you’ve seen a lot or you know evil, you don’t need a public life where you may attract it. When you know what you have and value it, a quiet life is the best way to protect it. People value privacy when they have something to lose.

That's a wonderful way of framing it. No one is intent on violating my privacy to give me anything, only to take.

Fourth order effect: hiring more FBI agents to monitor the Third Orders. Fifth order effect: hiring more FBI agents to monitor the Fourth Orders. Sixth order effect: Eventually unemployment will be solved!

NPR running sympathetic stories for Big Brother, including the last paragraph framing opposition as supporters of Emmanuel Goldstein. He does not like MiniLove - you would be agreeing with him if you also did not like it just fyi.

NPR could have talked about the current size of the FBI budget, the costs associated with this request, the size of the current deficit - nope, straight to Goldstein.

> "Why are MY tax dollars paying for someone else's knee surgery? They should have planned properly!"

This is a very bad faith take on what groups opposed are saying and I don't even agree with them. You don't need to do this to effectively argue against this stance.

Having had two bikes and a moped stolen, I can offer that your suggestion just modifies the vehicles taken by theives.

One of the grand secrets of various flavors of esotericism is that 'not everyone has a soul'.

Don't be so quick to apply the quack and nut case label, please.

I hear you my man. American men show very worrying numbers and trends wrt sexual health, fitness, et al. It's quite terrible to see first hand - I don't have any answers but my experience is often that the parents themselves have been damaged in many cases.

I don't know what can be done. There's many healthy ones among the groups but I dunno, I despair at times.

Hang in there. Focus inwardly and be sure to maintain your overall health.
