Just a reminder that Chiropractic treatments are pseudoscience with no scientific evidence to back them up.

People that think they can avoid opiate addiction by seeking holistic medicine should be warned that the quacks in the chiropractor's office have no idea what they are actually doing.

Congratulations to Me, a Kamala Harris Voter, Who Got Exactly What I Voted For ( www.mcsweeneys.net )

I like to think of myself as someone who takes responsibility. I pay my taxes. I walk my dog. Perhaps most importantly, I vote. So, when I look at the state of the country, I don’t point fingers. I look inward, back to the pivotal moment when I was told what would happen if I voted for Kamala Harris, fully aware that I was ...

In addition to what everyone else is saying, I'll say that relying solely on your own perception is a pretty weak scientific measurement. That's like trying to tell me a banana isn't radioactive because it doesn't taste like it. If you use any form of measurement to check the curvature of the earth, then you see that it is round. Using your eyes is the absolute worst way to base fact.

Also, this wasn't targeted at you. I'm not calling you dumb or anything, just making the argument. I know you are presenting the devil's advocate stance in good faith.

Yeah, as soon as I read it, I knew what he was talking about. I grew up with that term, granted I haven't heard it in a decade or more. But yeah, not an actual hunt. Probably still something terrible, given the nature of the bastard, but (hopefully) not killing.

That's because this all stems from the disinformation campaigns that have been going on for decades. It's not only about putting the person they want in power, it's about making sure the opposition is seen as a weaker option even to their own supporters. The vast majority of Democrats don't harbor this self-loathing hate against the democratic party. We see it as something that needs improvement, but we also understand that Harris wouldn't be using ICE as her own gestapo. There is any enemy here, and it's the ones that post "both side" memes like this. It's not edgy. It's not clever. It's shit like this that gets people killed in the streets because it's shit like this that kept people away from the polls last time. So, Doug Holland can go fuck himself.

I'd wager most of them know the first steps of the procedure. It's likely a story that gets passed around a lot, even if it's a rare occurrence. Also, every firefighter I've known is borderline OCD with keeping the station clean. I doubt that baby would be outside for long before they noticed.

In related news, children of smokers more likely to smoke.

chemical_cutthroat ,
@chemical_cutthroat@lemmy.world avatar

The average age of a first time parent in the US is around 27 right now. The iPhone is nearly 19 years old this year, and Facebook opened its gates to anyone over 13 right at 20 years ago. That means these first time parents were below 10 when these came out, and they likely grew up in a world where social media consumption on handheld devices was very common. So, when they are supervising their children, they aren't doing it from the perspective that these things are bad, they are doing as though they are normal, because for them they are. This is what I mean with children of smokers become smokers. If its normalized around the house, it doesn't matter how much policing is done, it's just a part of your life.

Refunds from what? As far as I know, the tariffs haven't generate positive revenue, so any money that gets 'refunded' is literally coming from taxes we paid, which will have to be paid again. I don't see a way to do this that doesn't cost more the less you have.

This is an interesting one. The jury actually only faulted Tesla for 33% of the total blame, but since the driver wasn't a defendant in the suit, he doesn't have to pay the remaining 2/3rds. I really struggled with this one because to me it felt like Tesla was being attacked, but looking at it in the full light of day it ended up being pretty fair. The driver completely ignored the road while looking for their cellphone which had dropped to the floor, and then blamed the Tesla for not alerting him of the intersection. That leans pretty hard on the driver being irresponsible to me, and the jury felt the same way, which is why they said that Tesla was only 33% to blame. So, Tesla trying to overturn this verdict is them trying to absolve themselves of all fault, which I don't agree with, and I think the judge did the right thing. Tesla advertised a feature of a car that failed to work in the way it was described. Should the driver have been more present? Yep. Should Tesla still be partially responsible for the fault in their machinery? Yep, again.

chemical_cutthroat ,
@chemical_cutthroat@lemmy.world avatar

The jury found that the marketing from Tesla didn't line up with the actual abilities. Musk is on record saying that Autopilot drives better than a human. They also stated that it should only be used on highways and access roads, but even with their GPS always active, the car doesn't differentiate between road types, and so will let you use it anywhere you like.

On top of that, Tesla triggered the car to wipe the crash data from the local copy 3 minutes after the accident so that the only copy of the crash data that remained was stored on their servers and could be tampered with.

All of that led the jury to giving 33% fault to Tesla, which, again, I think is fair.

My roommate [content warning]

spoiler

just took his own life a few weeks ago. I had no idea what he was going through because we lived very separate lives. He always seemed like he was doing OK, but in the note he left he spoke of hiding mental health issues from me because he didn't want to stress me out while I was dealing with my own shit. I wish I could go back and tell him to bother me.

This shit is really happening, and it's hitting all age brackets. Even if you think someone is doing OK, it's fine just to check on them. "Hey, how are you?" Be sincere. Don't hit them with the "What's up?" Everyone has a preprogrammed response. But give them eye contact and a genuine tone. It's not something you'll ever regret.

Yeah, we should definitely start buying Chinese...

Edit: Everyone wants to boycott Microsoft, or the entirety of the US because of the reason du jour, but when China comes up, it's all dickriding Emperor Pooh Bear. Do you all have any idea the atrocities that China carries out on a daily basis? I'm not talking about surveillance and sweatshops. I'm talking about genocides. Plural. Ongoing. No one likes to talk about it because we rely on Chinese goods for all our cheap Temu products or what the fuck ever, but every tiktok you scroll is another penny into the death machine. So, yeah, give them another area of commercial dominance. Surely that won't fund the death of another ethnic group.

I honestly don't remember. I don't think it was anything special. My family was never big on birthday parties, and subsequently I haven't been either. More than likely I stayed in, ordered a pizza and watched Princess Bride like I do every year.

Its simple (the art, not the concept). An indie game dev can get a lot of pixel art for the same amount as a single highly detailed and accurately animated protagonist. It's cost efficient, and it looks good most of the time. That's enough for most people.

I always wanted a Saturn, but never got one. When the Dreamcast came out, I was damn near first in line. What a fucking system. Goddamn. I know it got a lot of hate at the time, but it was a behemoth in a field of other behemoths. What a tremendous loss to the culture today.
