Agree. The mask has been awesome for winter times to be honest. Face doesn't freeze off, air doesn't freeze the hairs of your nose, and my lips don't need a ton of moisturizer. The one part that sucks is when you get too mu

Excuse me but "person" contains "son" in it which is indicative of gendered childhood, and heteronormative reproduction. This is highly problematic for children and adults who identify as children who may be struggling w

The Canadians citizenship ceremony to me was fascinating, because it begins with an aboriginal land acknowledgement. The statement is quite literally "the very ground we're standing on doesn't even belong to us, but here we a

Perhaps, but just like Apple they have a refurbished category where you can get very good deals - and that's on top of them having sales regularly. I should add that I called Dyson once for my 7 year old wireless vacuum which was havin

It's literally impossible for it all to be retail money. What I think people are missing is that in about a month we'll find that "Wallstreetbets" and "retail" were also other fund managers like Ackman. This is

Big Tech will continue to tithe and sacrifice enemies of the political class people as long as the political class upholds their implied end of the contract: thou shall not pass any harmful regulation that would hurt Big Tech.

I was expecting the clickbait to have the classic flaws, small sample size, participants knowing it was a limited-time experiment, and other actors in the economy not being on UBI. This study is so comically limited that they didn't ge

And this is the problem with the Google Union. The ideologies already commanding way too much of the discussion are going to be hyper-empowered by the union. By 2025 I imagine that if you Google "conservative" you'll instant

I disagree largely because you're extrapolating the exception to be the rule. There were hundreds of thousands of people there and 99% of them never even entered the Capitol buildings. I think the most telling part of intent is coming

I really find it fascinating how the US media finds the exception and pretends it's the norm. It's something out of psy-ops. ONE demonstrator had zip ties, therefore "they had zip ties". Sure, many were armed and who fi

I would argue that there's a caveat: if the lie is about a person or group that the mainstream media is active hostile against, lying is not just expected, but encouraged and rewarded. Or so, anonymous sources familiar with the matter
