Do you ignore things to make yourself happy? I guess that would explain why you would assume somebody else would. But, sorry to disappoint - I’m not a Republican.

And, no, I don’t ignore even the insane shit out there. What’s the point? Besides, what kind of fucked up system do you use to decide if you’re happy anyway? Ignore shit and it’s still true.

Anyway, I’ve never met a happy Republican. As I said, they’re always afraid and/or angry. So, yeah, not hard to figure out that the study this article is referencing is bullshit. But you do you.

But my claim must be absurd! Cause you know you’re happy! Whatever, dude…

Are you…a nutcase?

This is probably not what you wanna hear, but when the battery gets low, the current gets weaker. If the current gets too weak, the scale becomes more and more inaccurate. Like, wildly so. In other words, the alternative is to lie to you. Badly.

Wow, what bullshit. Cognitive dissonance may give the appearance of happiness, but it is a literal hell on Earth. The psychological damage from pretending so strongly to be happy…? It’s not worth it.

And besides, no one is going to convince me that the people that are always afraid and angry are the happy ones.

Good. That’s exactly the kinda of lowbrow crap that shouldn’t be accepted in public or online. And if you can’t advocate your favorite orange weirdo in a diaper without calls for violence, doxxing folks, etc, then you know what? That’s the kind of worthless shit heel society should not be wasting it’s time on…

Nest Freemark

That’s…not how chemistry works.

I honestly couldn’t care less about middle class. They’re comfortable. I’m not. Therefore, they don’t need help…

I personally would only use the original phrase to imply what you’re saying. This is why context matters so much I think; some people just use it as a thought terminating cliche, I’m afraid.

First one is saying there’s no point fixing anything, just get over it. Second one saying fixing it might suck, let’s fix it anyway.

Very, very different…

So you’re saying the statistically less likely option is the one you think is most likely to have been the case?

Not only is this kind of view dangerous and prejudiced, it is quite simply not supported by the data.

Huh, didn’t realize that. I understand a lot of the physical servers for those kinda companies are in the upper Midwest, but I never thought about where thire HQ is at; you make some excellent points.

There is definitely a fight brewing over who has final say in regards to what happens on the Internet. Gonna be interesting seeing how this plays out.

The difference is, I think, just how much of the content or there is hosted in America. If they succeed in forcing local companies to follow some new draconian measure, it’ll likely have a disproportionately high effect on non-US traffic.

Well, they’re the ones that know which pizza shops have pedophile sex dungeons hidden underneath. So, I guess they’re fighting themselves. (As I typed that out, it occurred to me how true is a statement it was…😝)

Umm…what? Like, seriously - what??

Can I have some of whatever it is you’re smoking???

Your couldn’t throw us a bone by including a link? 😉

That’s okay, I got you covered.

Huh. The idea that a person might look for enlightenment instead of entitlement surprises you?

Oof.

All of that means you cannot simply “send everyone a letter”.

False.

The person casually executing any potential human shield is no less the villain. And funny how every hospital, school, and designated safe zone have enemies hiding there. Heavens sake, if Hamas has those kinda numbers, that would certainly change the terms of the engagement I think.

Politicians in every level of the zionist government have openly said they want to exterminate the Palestinian people. But, oh no, not a genocide! 🤪

Lol. So not a fact.
