We're feeling the effects of living in a post-truth society more and more every day. It's pretty terrifying.

And it's an administration that has a history of trying to rewrite history and deny reality when it conflicts with their goals. And regularly claims fundamental parts of the constitution are "unconstitutional" somehow and are

Agreed, the consequences of a car-dependent society are far reaching, and this is a very insidious one. I'd also add that it may even be illegal in some places to let your kids outside by themselves at all. Even when it's not ille

Is there any data that shows people in the US are switching to WhatsApp? The only people I've ever seen use it are people with family in other countries. The statistics I've seen indicate that iPhone usage amongst American teenage

This is only anecdotal, but probiotic supplements absolutely had a large impact on my social anxiety. I can't remember for the life of me where I heard it, but I specifically looked for ones that with strains were "dirt-based"

This is a late response and I know you don't care about evidence and have an axe to grind, but to anyone who may read this later: disability legal regulations and standards are absolutely a standard. Denying this won't make it any

It is legally a disability, and you can get accommodations in college for it. I'm glad it hasn't negatively affected your life, but that doesn't mean it doesn't affect others. Believing it isn't an issue won't

This is blatant misinformation. There is ample evidence that ADHD exists and is detrimental to all aspects of life. It is not some quirky different way of thinking, it's a disability. My life was made significantly harder without medi

I've seen robot waiters at one restaurant in SF as well, and I wouldn't be surprised if there were more. They'll most likely be here on a large scale faster than we think.

I'm guessing that person signed up with a Google account that was connected to other Google accounts, and when they tried to make a new account it was flagged as "ban evasion".

Just adding to the noise, but the thing that finally got my 15+ year old account banned was reporting some blatantly racist comments. Apparently if a subreddit mod agrees with the reported comment, they can just report you for "abusing

I would go even further and say the world would be a significantly better place without any Meta products (and most other social media). At this point, they are a considerable net negative on society as a whole.
