What are you even talking about? They’re curating the communities and instances they engage with. That’s literally one of the core functionalities of the fediverse.

“YOU’RE NOT ENGAGING WITH LITERALLY WHATEVER IS PUT IN FRONT OF YOU. MAYBE YOU SHOULD STOP USING THE INTERNET!”

Omg I’m dying lol 🤣

Hey OP, I have a suggestion for someone to block… I’m going to block him as well.

😆

K.

What are you even talking about? The per capita death rates differ from what you’re posting (making up?) here. ​According to data from the World Health Organization (WHO), the death rate from alcohol use disorders in Germany is 9.2 per 100,000 population, whereas in the United States, it is 14.3 per 100,000 population.​​ That’s a substantial difference. Are you a recovering alcoholic or lose someone to alcohol or something? It’s fine that you are against alcohol, but you’re making false comparisons and citing false data to do so.

Your own Wikipedia link puts alcohol dramatically lower than cocaine and heroin in terms of dependence and harm. Were you raised by alcoholics or something? If so, sorry, that sucks.

You’re unironically putting alcohol on par with cocaine and heroin? You really missed your calling as a roller-pin-wielding prohibitionist by 100 years.

My god, it’s incredible you made it out alive.

To make it even more complicated, counties, of which states are composed, can also set the terms of alcohol use in their jurisdiction. There’s “dry” counties all around the US where alcohol cannot be legally purchased.

And then there are counties where public consumption is fine and prostitution is legal. So… idk. It’s a big country. Montana, just one of the states, is larger than Germany, and it’s only the 4th largest state. The largest state is over four times bigger than Montana.

The Mayans and Aztecs were imperialist prior to contact. They regularly practiced oppressive, military expansion and colonialism. True story.

Not particularly, no. Coyote isn’t a mono-divinity like they are being characterized here. It’s ok to simply recognize a lack of knowledge about Indigenous cultures. But the fact that the characterizations that are used here clearly come from a western conceptualization of divinity while posturing like it’s criticism of western divinity is fairly ironic.

No one is going to comment on the name? Lol

We all know you’re just trying to convince yourself to stop looking for her on craigslist, OP. You aren’t fooling anyone. 😁

Wait, the Mars Rover is single? Asking for a friend.

Yes, people are saying this. Search any major social media site. Or Google the phrase for any number of articles about the rise of this and other similar sentiments online and irl.

Tell me you’re a white guy without telling me you’re a white guy.

Your mom is the easiest thot. Sorry, it was right there, I had to take the opportunity.

It’s rarely ever possible to fix something that is fundamentally and compositionally flawed. No one is arguing that it’s easier. They’re arguing that it’s necessary.

Always looking for what’s easy instead of what’s necessary is part of how we got here in the first place.

Social Security has shifted far from its original intent. It was once a system where your taxes were set aside and invested, creating a fund for your own retirement. But over time, the baby boomer generation began drawing heavily from these reserves, turning what was meant to be a self-sustaining system into a pay-as-you-go model. Now, instead of relying on their own invested contributions, Social Security is sustained largely by taxing the younger generations to fund the retirees, shifting the burden and undermining the system’s original promise. This approach leaves younger generations on the hook, fueling concerns about the system’s long-term viability.

He won. Get over it.

Yes, nothing, which means not fixing it. Which means it will be depleted in nine years. I guess it depends on how long his mom plans to stay alive.

Who cares.
