  • What's your favorite recreational drug and why?

    Jump

  • 2C-I is my favorite probably, but I haven't taken it in 15 years and these days it might be too intense for me. I take LSD and MDMA 6-10 times per year though.

  • ‘That doesn’t exist’: DOGE reportedly quietly disbanded ahead of schedule

  • We need a president who runs the country like a business, i.e. creates a front, scams everyone, then shutters the company to avoid accountability.

  • Walgreens cuts pay for hourly store workers after $10 billion buyout

    Jump

  • In my area, there's one independent pharmacy in a metro of 3m+ people. Walgreens bought all of them and closed most of them. Our options are Walgreens and CVS.

  • What We Talk About When We Talk About Sideloading

    Jump

  • I don't know how any of this works. What's stopping Google from doing the same thing to old phones?

  • Is the US currently in a recession or entering one?

    Jump

  • Same. Even adjusting for inflation, if I went back and told myself 10 years ago what I'd be earning in 2025, past me would think it's "buy-whatever-I-want-money." I can buy everything I need, but I never seem to have much left over.

  • OpenAI says over a million people talk to ChatGPT about suicide weekly

    Jump

  • I agree, and to the comment above you, it's not because it's guaranteed to reduce symptoms. There are many ways that talking with another person is good for us.

    What do antidepressants actually do for people who are depressed?

    Jump

  • CBT is one treatment for depression - and you should stick with whatever's helpful for you - but it's not THE treatment. In the last couple decades there's been a trend towards more flexible and integrative models like ACT and IFS. These models suggest that our efforts to avoid "bad" thoughts and feelings actually causes more suffering and keeps us stuck. Integrative models focus on allowing those things to exist, or even welcoming them in.

  • Advocates raise alarm over Pfas pollution from datacenters amid AI boom

    Jump

  • Do you have a source on your claim that data centers recycle water? Because these researchers state that 80% of the water is evaporated, and the other 20% is discharged to municipal wastewater facilities.

    Propaganda on a new level

    Jump

  • I feel like "willful" implies that everyone is equally capable of distinguishing between facts and lies, and that people aren't easily swayed by propaganda. If the latter were true, the advertising industry wouldn't exist. Republicans have been working to dismantle public education for decades. How many people have been psychologically manipulated like this since before they could speak? They might be "old enough to know better" but did they ever have an opportunity to learn critical thinking skills? Look at what they're teaching kids in Oklahoma. What chance do they have?

    Propaganda on a new level

    Jump

  • Thank you for articulating all my thoughts better and faster than I ever could.

  • Mike Johnson Snaps as Shutdown Arguments Repeatedly Crumble on Air - Even Fox News pushed back on the House speaker’s claims.

    Jump

  • Right. They don't say what THEY believe, they say what they want YOU to believe.

  • White House sets hiring, foreign enrolment terms for colleges to get funding advantage, WSJ reports By Reuters

    Jump

  • To be clear, the mandate specifically bans the consideration of race in the admission process.

  • 'Shame on you!' Dems erupt on House floor as Mike Johnson orders recess despite shutdown

    Jump

  • I would argue they also want the government to collect money from taxpayers and distribute it to the rich in the form of subsidies and contracts.

  • What is your internet White-Whale?

    Jump

  • Feds march into downtown Chicago; top border agent says people are arrested based on ‘how they look’

    Jump

  • I've spoken English my whole life, and I've never referred to someone's appearance as "exhibiting a fact." It's not complete word salad, but it's close.

  • 11-year-old delivers premature baby after repeated rape in Bareilly, infant dies minutes later

    Jump

  • There are a few users who post articles like this constantly. I'm on the other side of the world, so I have no idea if it's propaganda, just something I've noticed.

    To clarify my use of the word, I'll quote Adam Johnson: "The atomic unit of propaganda isn't lies - it's emphasis."

  • JD Vance suggests trans people pose a “domestic terrorist threat” & FBI plans to target trans people - LGBTQ Nation

    Jump

  • I would love to know how many people actually refused to vote for Kamala for the reasons you stated. Obviously it's not zero, but I have seen some variation of the "are you happy now?" comment hundreds of times, and I've never spoken to such a protest voter in real life. Or maybe they're everywhere and they're too embarrassed to admit it.

    Instead of pointing to gerrymandering, voter suppression and potential massive election fraud, the mass of comments like yours is starting to feel like straw manning.

  • When rich people can edit their kids DNA won't that just lock everyone else out and create a new class?

    Jump

  • This happens in a smaller way with access to prenatal testing and abortions. Parents with access to those things are at least able to detect and avoid the more debilitating birth defect, while parents without access are more likely to have a child with a severe birth defect. If they're already struggling materially, that can sometimes guarantee that both the parents and child will have no upward mobility.
