That is not surprising given the number of people that believe in magic

Or religion. Or ghosts. Or Bigfoot. Or demons. Or the supernatural. Or zodiac signs. Or miracle cures. Or chiropractors. Or antivax. Or Qanon. Or sovern citizenship.

It's always disappointing how many people believe in obviously fake bullshit.

This isn't rare or increasing, it's just that one generation is now in the age bracket for it. "Gen alpha is seeing a surge in highschool graduations" would be equally likely in the near future. It's not surprising, it's a long-standing trend associated with age.

Warning: graphic images

My guy a table is not a graphic image

Edit: I didn't realize there were multiple images

Idk, it feels metaphorical from a tangential point of view

With that context, 4 months and $800 doesn't feel like enough

While pregnant, children's television host Sherri Finkbine took thalidomide that her husband had purchased over-the-counter in Europe.[43] When she learned that thalidomide was causing fetal deformities she wanted to abort her pregnancy, but the laws of Arizona allowed abortion only if the mother's life was in danger. Finkbine traveled to Sweden to have the abortion. Thalidomide was found to have deformed the fetus.[41]

Oh how we're going backwards.

The White House said those granted clemency received disproportionately longer sentences than they would have under current laws and policies.

In a statement, Mr. Biden said those receiving clemency have shown “they are deserving of forgiveness and the chance at building a brighter future for themselves beyond prison walls.”

All told, Mr. Biden pardoned 11 individuals and commuted the sentences of five others, saying the move reflects his commitment to “addressing racial disparities and improving public safety.”

Oooh I like this version!

 

I hate this news story. If I wasn't living in this community (Douglas county) I would think it's a good story. However, Douglas county has massive NIMBY policies, including outlawing everything that would allow someone experiencing homelessness anywhere near here. No homeless shelters are legal, no sleeping outside is legal, hell even weed stores are illegal in this massive county, despite it being legal in the majority of the state. Douglas county also created its own health department in protest of mask and vaccine mandates. It's a very affluent deeply conservative pocket in Colorado that makes me sick.

 

Went to Google Play to complain about Hulu. I noticed Google advertising that over 300 reviews had the verbatim quote "watch and movies that you love". It's always confusing that buggy corporate apps have >95% 5 star reviews until you see that the majority are just completely fake, and no one cares or is doing anything about it.

For context I'm in the US. The last time I used YouTube without an ad blocker, there were 2 ads back to back, and way too frequently. I tried watching on my PlayStation tonight, and not only are they more frequent, they've increased in quantity by 150%. It's also very common for the last ad to last 2 minutes to over an hour long. What the actual fuck, why would anyone watch YouTube without an ad blocker at this point? It's literally unwatchable

Edit: the amount of unsolicited advice in the comments is unreal. I don't get ads on my phone or on desktop, I'm very aware of how to block them. I simply won't watch YouTube on my PlayStation anymore. I'm not looking for suggestions, please stop with the recommendations.
