Tesla cars are stupid tech. As the cars that use lidar demonstrated, this is a solved problem. There don’t have to be self driving cars that run over kids. They just refuse to integrate the solution for no discernible reason, which I’m assuming is really just “Elon said so.”

Not sure honestly, it might be most relevant to Canadians? I’m not sure how much overlap the US and the rest of the world has when it comes to the kitchen gadgets, bikes, cars, appliances, etc that they review.

Check your local library, your library card might give you access to Consumer Reports. They don’t have reviews on everything, but I always make a point to check before a significant purchase.

Old puppy dog, judging by the white fur around the eyes and muzzle. I love seeing old dogs.

You know how when most people reply ‘lol’ they didn’t actually laugh out loud? This thread made me lol for real when I’m sick and feeling icky so thanks to everyone for posting 🫶

Check your local library and city/county department of health, they may run free or low cost group therapy sessions.

If thinking I am a human being with full and equal rights to every other human being and that anyone who disagrees can go fuck themselves makes me an extremist then that’s a reflection of the society I live in, not me.

And yeah, the people who ‘don’t agree with me on every point’ are the people trying to criminalize my existence. How many states is it illegal for you to piss in a public restroom? How many states are trying to criminalize your healthcare? Have you had the government confiscate or alter your passport? Did you even know this shit is happening?

He was stretching the truth as much as possible to convince local art dealers to sell his stuff as an investment, got sued for it, and (spoiler if you’re wanting to listen to the episodes) may or may not have intentionally killed himself to avoid going to trial over it.

Thomas Kinkade did this with art prints in the 90s and 00s. Mass print them and then have ‘trained artists’ go in and add a little highlighting, and charge a premium for it.

Behind the Bastards has a good 2 part episode on him.

Yeah, it really fucking sucks she didn’t distance herself more from a government committing literal genocide during the election.

Deaf people already may learn to speak without that through speech therapy, although for most it’s not their preferred method of communication.

I don’t know how it’s changed in the modern day because the people I know who went through it as kids did it like 30 years ago, but it used to be common to hold a balloon against the throat while speaking to feel the different sounds you’re making.

That is WILD, I had no idea birds bruised green!

Have you considered going outside and asking people your questions in order to only get answers from ‘mentally healthy’ people?

anon6789 is a fucking champ. I don’t know how they churn out posts about owls and keep them high quality, but they do.

Honestly I’m thankful when someone puts the red flag above every comment themselves.

Oh, well… at least they haven’t also had historic flooding recently! 😬

Might be? I saw some video not long ago about how those were trending on Japanese social media, but I don’t remember how old the video was.

o7 Fair! I just always try to be very positive about seeking therapy, since anxieties like that kept me from seeking therapy for a long time. If you don’t need to hear it, maybe someone else who does will read it

Freest country on earth, with government mandated positions in academia.
