Talked to a mason once who informed me that one of the first rules they have is to never watch TV or listen to the radio.

Take that as you will.

tech-laden “AI doctor’s office,”

For those wondering what they did,

Opponents of this are being accused of „western decadence“

Those damned hedonists indulging in the luxury of… checks notes… keeping their dicks out of kids.

So basically after the destabilization liberation of Iraq politics are dominated by the same people that run Iran.

I mean, they were destabilized liberated by the same people…

More or less disastrous than locking everyone in their homes for two years, stunting an entire generation’s early childhood development, and decimating the credibility of the medical industry. Which came, of course, after getting an entire other generation hooked on opioids.

Usually. But if the premise is particularly stupid I might choose to prompt the speaker to actually think about what they’ve said for a moment.

Or you could just read any of the numerous other comments here which offer other explanations.

Do you seriously need someone to explain to you why there are multiple words with similar meanings in the world?

It shouldn’t take a PhD to understand that openly hating a huge portion of the working class isn’t going to make you popular with them.

Hear me out:

Anyways, lets share tips on getting rid of our families!

Not at all. I just stuck to much simpler, and less enjoyable/healthy, meals most of the time.

During the lockdowns I learned to cook for myself, and now I eat better, cheaper.

Have you not been paying attention to practically every progressive issue in the last decade? Pretty sure the people actually making decisions about what gets promoted on social media aren’t your friends.

Saw a great idea recently:

Write down all your fears for what will happen over the next four years. Then, re-read your list every few months and check off everything which has actually happened.
