I agree. I think what we’re seeing is a lot of Americans being failed by society writ large. Corporate America no longer upholds their side of the social contract (working 40hr doesn’t always guarantee enough money for a person to support themselves, let alone retirement or healthcare). They’re dumping all this money into politics to push their own narratives, and it’s blatantly obvious they’re doing it.

Why trust the process when the process is bad? Of course misinformation is everywhere. Misinformation is a symptom of our societal failures here, the internet and 24hr news is just the delivery method.

This happened to me in the USA. I told the doctor I want to be sterilized and neither my husband nor I wanted kids.

He told me it would be unethical. My husband might die and then my new husband would want children. I told him I would not change my mind, and such a man would be incompatible for marriage with me. He told me I’d change my mind. So basically, yes some hypothetical future man would want to use me for a baby factory, that’s why I can’t be sterilized.

I was 30. I’m older now, still don’t want them. I’m too ashamed to ask again for sterilization. My husband has a vasectomy scheduled soon (weird how a doctor had no problem doing that for him. Wonder what the difference is????)

For what it’s worth, I’m entertained by people needing to tell you what they think of your copy paste. It’s fun.

Bring back forum signatures!

This article is written so your grandma reposts it to her Facebook page. It’s all right wing pearl clutching:

“McHugh said these extra security measures to prevent thefts will only result in costs getting passed down to shoppers, which would make groceries even more expensive.”

Grocery prices are up because teenagers made some posters!

I suppose it might be humorous if you expect him to follow some sort of logical consistency with his insults, sure.

Fuck that orange monster.

With that out of the way, are reporters going to start telling us every time he farts in court too?

Old man with no respect for the judicial system falls asleep in court. Tune in at 11pm for more breaking news!

You don’t know what you ask, traveler. My loins are too tender for you. They will surely kill you.

Ever seen this? (2014 protest against net neutrality stuff)

There's nothing wrong with companies informing their customers on how ongoing legislation will affect them.

That being said, I approve of restricting TikTok's power and influence. I don't approve of it happening like this. This is a problem for every social media company, not just TikTok. Americans need full privacy protections and transparency behind algorithms that shape their content.

Forcing the sale of one company doesn't do much but get it out of China's hands (which... okay fine, this is probably good. We wouldn't be in this scenario in the first place if congress could do anything to put more control in consumer's hands in regards to their privacy/content).

Correct, it does not, which is why they need to be deleted individually or overwritten.

This is great advice. Everyone knows that as soon as you vote you can take no other action politically so the best you can do is a kick in the nuts.

All my leftist friends found out I voted and I was immediately kicked out of their clique for being uncool. At least the cops aren’t after me. They totally care about my friend’s shitposting on the internet

The irony of a billion dollar company losing my personal info and helpfully offering me credit monitoring service from the other billion dollar company that lost my info. It’s so good.

Throw into the mix: I had to do business with AT&T because they were the only ISP available to my Appartment complex. I never had the choice to not do business with these companies.

Equifax handles my company’s payroll.

Please, I want to get off Mr bones wild ride.
