Not necessarily. I would argue that plenty of people bathe and wear clean clothes more for their own comfort rather than that of others. The fact that these things can be interpreted as status signals has nothing to do with the motivation

I honestly have no idea how truthful any of this is. If experience has taught me anything, it's that conspiracy theories like this are largely bullshit. Thank you for at least providing me somewhere to start though.

This would all be so much easier if Twitter and other social media companies were actually transparent and explicit about the specific reasons an account was banned. Instead, you are just generically told that you are in violation of the T

I honestly cannot fathom this opinion. I literally cannot think of a single instance where I've ever seen an ad and thought "Yes, I'm glad that I'm seeing this instead of the content I came here for." If that&#x27

Literally nothing in the quote posted by the OP, or the report in question claims "that COVID-19 is man made". In fact, it's doing the exact opposite. It's saying that it is impossible to know for certain how the initi

That one actually seems straight up manipulated rather than just deceptively presented to me. That guy's entire arm is somehow fitting inside of a machine which could barely fit his finger in actuality!

To add on to what the other commenters have already said - this is especially true for marching bands where you are even further spread out and your distance to various sections changes over the course of the performance. You have to learn

Personally, I tend to just call those "fake" accounts. Fake, in the sense that the person behind that account is someone other than who they are claiming to be - whether that is a specific human being with a name and a picture, o

Only if you live in that alternate reality where somehow conservatives are being singled out and censored purely for being conservative, which has always been an absurd bit of victomhood fanfiction.

I get your point - it was way too loud initially and would quickly get annoying after the second or third time if it was being used as an actual captcha. That said, the music is what really sold it for me. How better to perfectly highlight

Exactly my experience as well. I had occasionally heard the term in passing, but it never was more than a minor blip on my radar until I was having a conversation with my outspoken conservative uncle who asked me if I was "woke".

Nobody cares about your conservative victomhood complex. If your leaders aren't mature enough to do their job without throwing a temper tantrum whenever someone says something mean about them, then sit the fuck down and let the adults

Are you kidding me? Sure you can make it sound trivial if you give the weakest possible examples. Let's talk about the border: Trump literally campaigned on the slogan "I'll build a wall and have Mexico pay for it." An

This is such a lame excuse. In 2016 there were 16 other candidates in the primary, and 4 in 2020. Literally every single one of them would have been a better choice. If all else fails, you don't vote. Don't pretend like there
