I worked for the Census both last year and this one. I live in SW Missouri Ozark Mountains and most people here wanted nothing to do with it, and were pissed when I knocked on their doors. My "Supervisors" have had a very hard tim

That's just awful. My profile has be close to 10+ years old I suppose. And I had some ad accounts I used it to manage. Didn't do a lot of advertising though. I was never really very comfortable with giving FB any more info than I

The critic that they don't reduce droplets or the virus in the air is plain old silly since that's not the reason they're used. They are used to deflect and disperse the virus. "Recent CDC research found that desk or tab

I can't say I was "upset". Or that I am now. Honestly I just looked at the ad and thought "I don't want to see that bullshit" and started clicking stuff so I wouldn't have to.

I have never spent any of my time looking at FB terms and conditions. I have spent time setting up Firefox's "Facebook Container" so they can't track every site I visit. I really don't recall if there were any other

I didn't really think at all about the "age" thing. I just didn't want to see the ad again. I've never given FB my age as far as I know. I don't recall them asking for it when I made that account or the one I m

I didn't express any "outrage" at all. In fact, I summed it up with: "I really don't care much that I can't access my old account, but I do think it's pretty ridiculous that I couldn't block a politic

I did something similar back in the late `80s when I decided to leave Los Angeles after living there for about 15 years, but weather was not the only criteria I looked into. I also looked into cost of housing, wages, employment, acres of pu

Glad to see he's doing something that can benefit us all but... "Koch admitted that he regrets stoking partisanship. “Boy, did we screw up. What a mess!”" Yeah, we're all still living with the consequences of that experi

I don't read it much either, but I do see headlines from it and those, to me, do look like they're sounding closer to the chorus being sung by the big left media. On the other hand, it also seems Greenwald has moved towards the ri

This is insightful. Not necessarily surprising, but kinda sad.

They might be right about "makes you smarter". I mean, here you are complaining that SA isn't "peer reviewed", which is pretty stupid because they're publishing the results of studies done by others, not doing

I agree with what you're saying. It's kind of hard to excuse not taking the time to know the risks though. And in this case (covid) I've noticed a very interesting common line of thought. Over and over I've been told on

To fair and accurate I cherry picked TWO studies You didn't cite or include a link to even one. You just tossed a load of bullshit here and hoped it would stick. By the way... one of those cherry picked links goes to Scientific America

Yeah, I've heard people say that all my life. Some folks love to believe that. But there's nothing that really backs that up with solid proof. A lot of them whom I've heard say that were coke users, which to me would indicate

Well I'll agree with the "don't use Twitter" advice, but I think it was pretty clear this guy was being satiric, and not really trolling, but instead being "trolled".

I didn't condone what he did, but I think you missed the points, which are how quickly people are willing to embrace a lie, even when it's clearly either trolling or satirical, and the increasing tendency to threaten violence as a

I submitted this because it offers a glimpse, and possibly insight, into what (I think) is a pretty strange and dangerous societal phenomenon.

I could certainly be accused of haughtiness when someone made a snide remark about me using marijuana. This is because I got fed up with arrogant people shitting on me when they found out I use it. In my experience it is those who love to f

I have some experience with this. My first wife was diagnosed with schizophrenia after birthing a stillborn baby. This was about 14 month after we had our first child. One of her doctors insisted the cause was marijuana, but she really did

I dealt with this when I was younger and built custom cars. Every car builder I learned from has, so I wasn't surprised when the same thing happened after I made my first "app". The most common denominators are they have noth

I've used cannabis for close to 50 years, starting when I was about 12 years old. For me it's been helpful in reducing stress caused by other's bullshit, and I have been subjected to far too much of that most all my life. Ove

I'm curious to know why you asked this? I did shallow search and found this: "No interactions were found between cannabis and Fish Oil. This does not necessarily mean no interactions exist. Always consult your healthcare provider.
