I can't imagine something more awkward than having to explicitly deny someone based on looks after having a good conversation.

As his trans daughter struggles, a father pushes past his prejudice. ‘It was like a wake-up.’
This is why Harvey Milk made everyone come out to their parents. It's unfortunate, but the only way some people are able to experience empathy is through directly knowing someone. Being out and proud is activism ... of course that doesn't come without risk.

Yeah, there's an interest in Y2K era tech amongst some gen-Z people. I think it's cool, idk why you're hating.

College administrators are falling into a tried and true trap laid by the right
What do they mean "trap laid by the right". These college administrators are conservatives.

Wisconsin voters are deciding whether to ban private money support for elections
To me, this headline was misleading. I assumed it was about funding campaigns, but this is for the actual process of voting itself.
The money was spent in a wide variety of ways — protective gear for poll workers, public education campaigns promoting new methods to vote during the pandemic, and new trucks to haul voting equipment.
The Republicans keep using the same strategy, restrict voting as much as possible. They won't adequately fund elections, and they are making it illegal for private funders to do so.

I can't think of a single thing AI does that is worth the amount of energy consumption.

I this a firm and polite way to tell an opinionated coworker to stop pushing his agenda I don't care about?
Your ideas are overly aggressive, even just leaving. Just change the topic or say "I'd rather not discuss this at work."

Does it seem odd to track my lifespan?
It's objectively weird in the sense that most people don't do that.

Why AI is going to be a shitshow.
You'd rather ask AI for information on racism than listen to black people ...

Anyone else feel like their ADHD was always there but got progressively worse as an adult?

Adderall isn't an approved medication outside of the United States though, and it's the only drug that works for me. Plus... I'm already having a hard enough time. You need tens of thousands saved up to even afford a move, and then go through the immigration process? All that paperwork? Obviously there are better safety nets outside of the United States but most people privileged enough to afford to leave would also be in less need of a safety net.
Basically, this is terrible advice lmao

The soft life: why millennials are quitting the rat race

Oh my friends were talking about this the other day. You can go in on a loan for a pretty big apartment complex together, and it can actually be more affordable than just buying a single family house. You can incorporate too.
Co-op housing has a rich history!!
Are you gonna shut the fuck up now :D

TikTok's CEO is feeling the pressure and users are freaking out
Reply in thread
My tiktok feed was filled with videos from the protests, and has been filled w info on Palestine for the past half a year. I don't think this ban is a coincidence. Tiktok always has the fastest transmission of information from people on the scenes, kinda like Twitter back in the day.

1 in 5 Americans think violence may solve U.S. divisions, poll finds
Reply in thread
To be fair, the question was "do you think violence is necessary for the US to get back on track"
Make America Great Again is the Republican line, so of course the poll is going to lean this way.

How rich is too rich?

Okay but if the rich person misses their Porsche payments, they can buy a Honda Civic.
I don't know why you are even saying this. What is the point? "If a person spends lots of money on luxury items, they will have less disposable income." Okay? What does that contribute to the question of how our government policies regulate wealth?

AP Explains: 4/20 grew from humble roots to marijuana's high holiday
Reply in thread
Kind of a shit take (like all of your takes are). People are allowed to have fun and be activists. Celebration is activism. Think about gay pride. Having a 4/20 party further normalizes cannabis in our culture.
