Hey man the French revolution involved actual beheadings and it brought much of the prosperity you have today. It's not this scum ruining your life. It's untouchable billionaires far away from consequences.

It happens in every worthwhile protest. If you see it more it's partly because the media wants you to, partly because things are so bad your country has been letting more people feel this is okay.
Also, everyone thinks the French revolution was so cool, but beheadings weren't normal back then either, it probably wasn't the most well-spoken of the protestors doing that violence either.

The Grind
The pyramids were not built by slaves. They were built by farmers during downtime, they were treated well. Pharaohs were living gods, so building for them and getting paid for it mustn't have been that different from building a cathedral.

the real purpose of the ban is to curb the growing political awareness of young people
Hot take. Maybe people shouldn't be getting their political awareness from algorithmic sites. For every teen who learns Gaza etc there's 10 that learn about the Manosphere and how bad vaccines are.

No evidence ADHD is being over-diagnosed, say experts
Reply in thread
10% of women have endometriosis. Would you take away their pain meds? You can make their work life easier (more sick leave) but then it still affects their personal life.
ADHD is so much more than "can't pay attention in class". It affects your personal life too. Usually that's a deciding factor for getting meds.
