Choosing to believe in one set of imaginary friends over another- or none- is most certainly a hobby by every definition.
It is not essential for life. It is not required by law. People willingly choose and actively continue choosing to engage in the activities in their free time, and report positive feelings from doing so. When doubts arise, other members of the cult try hard to sway them to stay, often using threats. That’s a hobby. And a cult.
Found the cyclist.
Handy information to have for when all the hospitals close in a few years.
Because who wants a back alley surgery performed by people of questionable education using non sterile medication/implements?
Yeah, not a choice any of us who work in tech can make. But the small choices we CAN make do add up significantly.
Exactly, this.
But wait, there’s more…
Enabling a genocide- something all the candidates were going to do anyway- is deeply unpopular.
Supporting Israel at the expense of US citizens isn’t okay under any circumstances or leader. It is time to end this farce; the only folks who don’t listen are the ones being paid not to.
Amazon is already dead to us. Just like Tesla, Target, Starbucks, and Meta.
They will never be purchased from, or supported in any way- ever again.
They aren’t bootlicking, they’re telling you the fucking truth and you are too thick skulled and poorly educated to understand it… proving their point.
US citizens elected Trump. They believed the blatant lies despite being told the truth.
That’s all there is to it.
We are genuinely so fucking stupid as a society that we (not me- citizens in general) voted to give up all our rights and enable a Hitler wanna be.
And we are too stupid to understand that all it would take is a couple hundred thousand of us marching into DC and guillotining every member of government that allowed this, then allowing the military to conduct new elections with stricter rules. This process is literally in our constitution. Second amendment.
Prevent public officials from lying by law, stop lobbying, stop allowing money to matter in politics (no candidate may spend money on advertising of any kind.)
Each candidate gets one hour on free, live television/streaming to present their campaign. If they lie at any point, they are immediately disqualified. Then there is one debate. Lies are immediately disqualifying from public office here, too.
That’s it. Simple as can be.
But US citizens are too stupid.
Proper headline:
“Intelligent People Understand the Limits and Dangers of AI; Unfortunately AI Company Leaders Do Not, and Seek to Silence Opposition”
So they’re copying Dave and Busters by trying to become what they should have stayed to begin with.
Not gonna work. Dave and Busters is terrible.
But get some cool animatronic shows, .25 cent arcade games from the 80s- 90s, maybe even a few amusement center rides like the old Scandia centers had (go karts, suspended rides, bumper boats, mini golf). THAT would be worthwhile.
It is not an either / or question.
Everyone, from the creator to the audience, determines the meaning for themselves.
The subjective nature of art is the only truth about art.
The human tendency to copy others behavior also translates into this; when people lack strong feelings about a piece of art, they are more likely to defer to other’s interpretation. This doesn’t mean they share the interpretation, rather that being agreeable was more important to them in the interaction than sharing an honest opinion.
I heard it is already happening in CA migrant camps. They’re selling the migrant labor and giving them only 1$ a day. It costs $5 to make one phone call.
Proper headline:
“Theater Distractions Begin Anew As Republicans Vote to Kill Millions of Disabled Kids and Seniors”
That’s far too smart a move for the average hospital admin. :)
It doesn’t seem like you understand how to speak properly.
Pseudo intellectualism is when people present false or illogical statements as fact.
And right now, the only person doing that is you.
Sounds like a citizen or fed that is fat on propaganda swallowed whole and without thought is angry that others don’t share his delusions.
Stimulants and steamy baths- but mostly stimulants. Most of them, including ADHD versions, work great for as a bronchodilator but have obvious downsides. A meth addiction is not a suitable substitute for asthma.
There was a time when I was too poor to afford asthma medication- I learned to self-calm and load up on caffeine. This allowed me to breathe enough to sleep without getting the low O2 anxieties but do little else until it passed. It did result in my only adult hospitalization when I got the flu on top of an asthma attack- caffeine couldn’t touch it, then.
I’m old- and had severe childhood asthma that landed me in the hospital in the 70s. We didn’t have inhalers. Not even nebulizers.
Instead I was given what was essentially speed, by mouth and IV. And when my lungs would fill up, my mom would beat on my back to loosen it so I could cough it up.
They did tell me steam baths would help as well.
I didn’t get inhalers until the 80s.
Not enough. Israel needs to be demolished for their war crimes and mass murdering. A sick and cruel people who have disowned their own heritage in exchange for power and evil.
I didn’t make the original statement, which sounds more like hyperbole than specific, legal, actions.
From experience I can tell you that I have personally encountered cyclists disobeying the law and endangering my safety more than any other non-car transport.
See, I was an endurance rider for most of my life. Meaning I spent long hours, 3-4 days a week on trails, on horseback, moving at speed.
On these trails, cyclists are required to stop and move to the side when they hear or see an equestrian.
The number of times they did this, over 20 years as an equestrian? 4.
The number of times they didn’t? Dozens, possibly over a hundred.
The number of times it caused a wreck and people got hurt? 3.
Cyclists whine about horse poop and having to stop, but WE maintained those trails, they did nothing other than whine and cause accidents.
I’m sure there’s some of you that are not complete tools, but there’s a reason you are despised by all other users of trail systems.
