I’m curious as to why you’re using a straw at all.

is it that because you’re at a restaurant?

You should know that by giving most restaurants your patronage, you are contributing to a lifestyle that we all cannot participate in.

You can also use programs like Nicotine+ to download music for free.

Stupid people.

FIFA and its followers are a plague on humanity.

The solution to putting ads in bathrooms is that they can be easily defaced.

Unless China is crazy enough to record their people in the bathroom, which I wouldn’t put past them.

Warms me heart to see people in this thread thinking for themselves and not doing something just because other people are.

That means they should keep it.

Let me show you.

You can read books for free on just about any general purpose computer.

Why are people doing X stupid thing that makes rich people richer at their own expense?

It’s the herding and conditioning. The sheeple have not woken up.

So many things make so much more sense when we realize this.

I love Amazon.

Their website makes it so easy to look up books for Anna’s Archive.

Most of them react like you when faced with their incompetence.

Sorry bud. Everyone doesn’t get a gold star this time.

We should still get our facts straight and not rely on hyperbole, which just opens us up to being corrected and looking like idiots who don’t bother to verify what they spout.

If it really is as bad as you say, then we shouldn’t need to embellish it. Stick to the facts and let people form their own opinions.

Thanks for this sanity check.

I looked at the source and noticed, well, it wasn’t anything reputable that I recognized like AP. That usually means they have very little journalistic integrity and have no problem sensationalizing headlines to get clicks.

Yes it does. He mentioned he “should not have to choose fascist asshole or shifty semi fascist,” and I responded with how people are already trying to make us fall in line and accept the semi-fascist.

You should brush up on your reading comprehension!

You can probably get accepted into a remedial English course at your local community college.

The only person I know who says skibidi is 30.

The problem is twitch and influencer-culture, not necessarily young users.

I’d wager a benefit of having young people on the internet is that they at least have the potential to provide value because their brain hasn’t been rotted to the core like most adults.

It’s shocking how quickly the free world is backsliding into fascism.

I genuinely think this has to do with the next generation of idiots taking their place. My generation has been conditioned to roll over like punk-bitches in the face of conflict so they’re easier to exploit.

It’s literally seen as embarrassing to stand up for yourself.

A rating system like the ESRB would actually be a really good idea for helping parents control what their kids get to see.

It shouldn’t result in any sort of ban or restriction beyond what the parents are able to enforce. The big-name services will have a rating, and it’s up to parents whether or not they’ll let their kids use unrated services.
