I'm 38 and 10x more productive than when I was 22. You'll be fine.

Do the hard work and seek headaches. Don't quit learning and practicing until the headache resolves. That builds your value.

The latter, the school boys, are nearly to a one on some kind of psychiatric drug.

Can you please explain your source for this work of fiction?

Regardless, the 2nd Amendment will not be repealed in our lifetimes and that's a fact.

School shootings in the USA have not been normalized at all. Our institutions and social degradation have caused these mass violence events. We've had an armed populace with very powerful guns for a long, long time. The elevated violence is not date coincident with more guns. Psychotropic drugs are though.

Sorry this really is a weak argument. First of all, "free speech" is not and shouldn't be considered absolute. Freedom to express your ideas, yes. Freedom to be obscene? No.

We are not granted rights by the Government. We have natural rights and they are not to be infringed by the Government. That's how our Constitution is supposed to work and that's why we left England in the first place.

100% agree. Right now, when something "happens" I leave it alone for a couple days until the real information comes out. Remember the "terrorist attack" at the Rainbow Bridge on the Canadian border a couple days ago?

Speaking as an American, I can tell you that pictures of dead kids is not going to do anything to further the gun control agenda. Nobody but a madman supports murdering children. In fact, murder is illegal in this country, as is assault and brandishing firearms. These laws don't stop insane people from using weapons to murder people. Just like strict knife laws don't stop stabbing. The problem is society is degrading to a point where people are willing to take lives.

The more I see dead kids from a school shooting, the more I will advocate for armed guards at schools to help dissuade would-be shooters from attempting anything. I would also advocate for the abolition of "Gun-Free Zones" as they only advertise to criminals that nobody is likely to be armed in these areas.

Unfortunately history has shown us time and time again that oppressive leaders disarm their populations before subjecting them to horrific abuses of their power. We aren't falling for it again.

Anything these papers publish has an associated agenda. Big Journalism is not simply funded, it's purchased as an investment product.

Junk food manufacturers depend on the addictive nature of the sugar and fat they cram into their products. I don't see how this is any different than cigarette warning labels.

You got it exactly right. Simply stating a fact is not an attack on anyone. In any scientific inquiry one needs to consider all the similarities and differences in the data. Most notably, if HIV is spread through sexual contact, why was it most prevalent in gay men of a particular lifestyle in a particular place? If it were straight white Amish people that it was attacking, I would say the same thing.

Not that it matters, but my sister is gay and I am going to be in her wedding this October. I have a much more nuanced understanding of homosexuality as my twin falls into this category.

Marginalized people? What are you talking about? The first cases of AIDS was identified in homosexuals. That's a fact.

My position is not that there have been no breakthroughs in the treatment of HIV at all. My argument is that HIV does not cause AIDS.

When you don't have empirical evidence to support your fake claim that HIV causes aids then yeah, you need to go authoritarian. Hence endless government and para-government agencies dictating truth through biased and hopelessly flawed studies.

When your argument is built on BS you need to argue at the upper levels and never look at the foundation.

Yes the FDA is immune from all the harm id does the the population.

Worldcoin puts off extremely bad vibes. I'm glad Africa is ejecting this mess.

Taxes aren't an indicator of economic strength. If they pay more taxes they'll charge more in the bottom line which ends up being paid by the consumer anyway.

The headline suggests Musk is spiteful. This is disingenuous. If you read the actual letter it alleges Meta is illegally obtaining trade secrets and confidential documents retained by those employees to build the competing Twitter clone.

many books are given innocent sounding titles while pushing revisionist historical information or outright racist views. A book about Rosa Parks seems on its face to be a good thing. But if you inspect the contents you may find objectionable and false information, not conducive to the development of children.

What if there were 10 Rosa Parks books reviewed and were deemed fine, and that one was filled with false ideological nonsense?

I find this article disingenuous.
