This is just a reincarnation of the brainwashing scare during the Korean war. There's no evidence that kind of granular manipulation is even possible

A full time McDonald's employee makes $40.5k a year and starting teacher salary is $44k. They're wages have decreased by 5% over the last ten years. You have no idea what you're talking about.

Oh yeah I've seen that video of the tumbleweed fire tornado from Colorado before, absolutely terrifying

Realistically you'd have to use explosives to get it done fast enough and I have a feeling people would dislike that

I think one of the best examples you can show people to make them understand what's going on is this Australian bush fire. The winds here were maybe 80kmh and you can see how the heat just ignites things meters away without touching them

I literally explained it to my girlfriend that way last night. "He's a wrestling heel, like, he literally played a wrestling heel for the WWE at one point"

I believe this is literally how you can drive without car insurance in New Hampshire, by showing you have $100,000 in liquid assets for liability

Buddy, don't make me defend insurance companies

IMO a lot of these people have very little identity of their own so they see someone else 'usurping' it and freak out. Kinda like how Gamergate weirdos freaked out about girls playing video games because it was the only identity they had.

lmao I just had a microcosmic version of this hearing you on Better Offline.

Scoop: Heritage Foundation plans to ‘identify and target’ Wikipedia editors The conservative think tank told prospective donors that the project was part of its work to combat antisemitism.

Scoop: I obtained a confidential presentation outlining how a major conservative think tanks plans to go after volunteer editors on Wikipedia who it says are "abusing their position" and promoting antisemitism

tired af - never had to live this long before

Whoa, what is going on in the center one? It's incredible

(experiencing misery caused by socioeconomic injustice) This is terrible! I must work hard so that someday perhaps I can be on the causing side

His name may be Mister, but he's actually a king

Maybe Germans were the real Americans all along

I really need the context for this

The theobromine in chocolate negates the blood pressure increase from the caffeine as well, meaning it's much easier to fall asleep than with caffeine alone.

Yeah like 100g of super dark chocolate is about as much caffeine as a cup of tea, frankly I'd be more concerned about a parent letting their kids eat more than a half pound of chocolate in one sitting than a cup of coffee.

The upside of all that is that they're almost certainly giving themselves kidney damage

Food banks go back to the late 60's and exploded in the early 80's when Reagan killed Welfare.

Honestly, we don't deserve space anyway

To be fair, the study I was looking at was British so it's 2–3000 out of 69,000,000, which, while it's a disaster, is still a lot of avoidable deaths. My point was more that people's perceptions of what medications are dangerous can be pretty skewed.

My experience with smaller models was pretty lackluster but I haven't experimented with them in a long time.

At around 6%, probably not, but it could get to a point where it would strain the system in a drought if it continues to increase. I think it's mostly a lot of wear on the municipal water treatment facilities at that level. That's just Iowa though, Arizona or California is a lot worse.
