How come people are stupid nowadays? Especially on social media

It's okay to be stupid, at times, on a "I just don't know" level. Nobody knows everything, not even experts.

It's just not okay to pretend that you're smart and know everything while demonstrating just how stupid you are. You're only truly stupid also, when you don't question, don't have a sense of awareness and aren't curious to know more of something.

That's exactly what online engagement has largely degraded into. People who think that because they're louder, that they have more karma points, that they brown-nose to mods/admins make them smart and therefore not stupid. It just turns you into a stupid asshole who has a fragile ego.

What do you think about discord?

Discord Nitro is no where near as valuable as they claim it is. The profile templates are garbage, all they do is obstruct your profiles with choppy animations, I mean who'd want to pay $8 for this shit on top of paying however much Nitro is?

As far as going into other servers, you'll find yourself either in dead servers that only serve for minecraft purposes or just inane boring stuff. Those or you'll find yourself in overcrowded servers with annoying bots wanting verification and overzealous moderation staffs.

When used strictly as a messenger/video call/game/irc-like program, it's okay. I kinda like how there is all of that in one than in past days where you needed like 7 different programs. Although, it wouldn't hurt to have alternatives that also provide the same benefits.

Oh and the Discord staff themselves are shady ass people with questionable morals and judgment.

How much money have you lost while gambling in one day?

DH Texas Hold 'Em Poker.

If you don't know what it is, it's a shitty poker app on the app store. They are very generous with how many chips they give you whether it is for free or paying $1 or $2. We're talking millions of chips, including bonuses like they have a wheel you can spin with tokens and have rewards.

The problem with it, is that it is filled to the brim with scammers. I'm not generalizing here, but a lot of them are foreign scammers, along with bots who join up tables even including upper stakes ones. They usually will go All-In almost all of the time and will somehow beat your hand with a petty two pair. Now the scammers are people who could be at any table and they'll spam messages about trying to reach out to them through WhatsApp or somewhere else. They'll want real money in exchange for giving you trillions of chips, its obvious that it is a scam but it doesn't lessen the nuisance factor on top of the bullshit rigging.

So, this game is very devious to get into and is a clear example of gambling in a nutshell. I forgot how much money I threw down into the game.

New Minnesota law to allow food banks to accept eggs past quality assurance date

Reply in thread

That is true. The thing with eggs is that the worst that can happen, is that the grade of the eggs just slips. Edible still, but you may not get the graded quality of the egg as it was when it was its absolute freshness.

If eggs are kept in the fridge past expiration, you're assuring an extra 3 - 5 weeks. However, there does become a point where the eggs stop being good enough to just simply eat as normal, but they become better for baking purposes.

But once those extra weeks come and go, those eggs will not be good anymore for any purpose.

Was Alex Jones actually right about anything?

No he wasn't. He's a fucking shit-stirring asshole who believed for the longest time until the courts had to twist his arm about it to be convinced, that actual children did not die during a shooting massacre. He deserves to have his platform shut down and given to a satire company, he deserves to be drained of all of his financial resources.

And before anyone says "his voice is being silenced! what about his first amendment rights?!". All that his voice and platform has done, is just damage and warp the minds of anyone who so much gave him honest attention. Just so that they too, could be walking mouthpieces for him. I mean that's partially why we're dealing with this war now over misinformation, it is partly because of this prick.

If there's anyone whose voice I wouldn't cry about being silenced forever, its this clown. If Alex Jones has actually proven anything at all, is to how gullible and devoid of intelligence people are to have faithfully followed everything he's said and done while spinning it all like as if he's satire. Too bad this 'satire' was something people actually believed in and still believe in.

Do you think that Edward Snowden is a hero?

I always thought he was. I always knew too that he's never going to get a fair trial and that he had to do what was necessary to avoid being extradited.

He did a huge favor for the american masses, who were obliviously unaware as to how much of an extent that they were being spied on and how their privacy was exploited. Anybody who still calls him a traitor to this day, besides the government anyways, are those who truly cannot grasp or refuse the reality this man unveiled to them.

I do see people and people like Luigi as true patriots. They have done things, that no American has the guts to pull off. The American populace, just largely takes the constant raping of their rights by their government and fear them. It should be the other way around.
