@Catseye3 said in "Shut up, peasant!": @Jolly said in "Shut up, peasant!": Yep. I think he was on it once. Hard to believe since it was his friggin plane. By "his", I'm referring to Epstein. The flight logs are out there. By right, I'm assuming you meant their right.

@Jolly said in Peterson goes full angry grandpa.: @Axtremus said in Peterson goes full angry grandpa.: Will he move to TRUTH Social now? I hope so. He's recently been doing a lot of stuff on Daily Wire Plus.

Might be true. I have a couple clay pots for tea and the taste difference is obvious. More minerality in the brew, too, although I haven't tested mine. (There are some cool studies others have done with the same clay, though.)

@Jolly said in Aqua Goes Camping: If y'all are unfamiliar with Steve, his schtick is stealth camping. Camping overnight in a round-about green area, a deserted convenience store, a neighborhood nature trail, behind a Home Depot, etc. Yep, am familiar and am a fan. Fine line though between stealth camping and just straightup homelessness. 😄

@Doctor-Phibes said in 25% of Americans: Only 25% of Americans have confidence in the Supreme Court 25% of Americans believe there is some truth in the 'theory' that Covid was intentionally planned 20% of Americans believe in QAnon's conspiracy theories 20% of Americans believe that the earth revolves around the sun. I could go on.... I'm also sure this isn't just Americans. Yes, but this is why this is why this is a bit significant...The Revolutionary War was fought with only 25%-33% of the population adamantly wanting to separate from Britain.

Actually yes, though dispensaries not legal until 2023.

With that kind of work ethic and git up and go, he could have been a successful worker in the food service industry. What a waste.

I'd hit eat it.

Old people fall. Hopefully he doesn't have any comorbidities and he'll recover uneventfully.

I would hope not! But selfies can be dangerous!

What are the number of users for each service?

I'm curious, how did you go about that? Overt hostility and intimidation. I think I've explained my attitude toward young male suitors before. It's starts from here - we hate you. Now, you might think you are in the clear because it couldn't get any worse, but you'd be wrong. It can get a whole lot worse. Do not try me. I would love to be the fly on the wall listening to this process. Eff that, I'd put that shit on YouTube and split the royalties with Mik. It would easily pay for Mik's defense attorney for whatever came next.

@Axtremus said in TikTok: @Aqua-Letifer said in TikTok: It's far worse than this, folks. What other “far worse” things about TikTok do you have in mind? TikTok isn't like Facebook or Instagram. When you download TikTok, you don't need to follow anyone to start being fed content—it requires no personal connection at all, ever. Its algorithm starts with feeding you a kind of video best-of in the For You feed, and starts learning real damn fast what you respond to. This is very problematic for three reasons. First, there's no incentive to build any kind of follower base. It's not needed—you can get fed content that'll keep you hooked on the platform, which is how most users interact with the app—without making any personal connections with anyone. It's antisocial media. (Yes, there's a new Friends tab. No, they're not interested in getting more users to check it. It's all about eyeballs on the screen, not cultivating relationships.) Second, these platforms are designed to make you addicted to the dopamine hit from likes and shares. At least with the older platforms, a viral post often leads to more followers, more conversations, etc., which is sort of social. With TikTok, the follower count isn't the goal, it's the likes and shares from friends, randos, who knows, who cares. All of the social media engagement addiction, none of the social. Third, there's a massive disparity between what we respond to, and what's good for us. Building relationships, discussing and sharing things in a considered way, and learning new things are all good for us. Content that invokes immediate reactions also makes us feel depressed, angry, envious, or just empty. But the TikTok algorithm isn't coded to discern between these things. All it cares about is establishing a content hierarchy, tailored to you, to keep your eyeballs on the screen for as long as possible. And what keeps you on the platform—invoking an immediate reaction—is generally quite bad for you. Nevermind the tracking issues, it's highly addictive and generally does a great deal more harm than provide anything worthwhile—especially for kids. It's visual stimulation fentanyl and it's driving people crazy. All social media can lead to this but TikTok is in an entirely different class.

Wonder as of tomorrow, are we in a recession? Yup. One source says since May.

Any orders by governors concerning elections laws? Unconstitutional. Any agreements entered into by secretaries of state? Unconstitutional. So...some of the stuff from 2020 will not fly next time...
