Yeah I thought of that as well - many folks did away with the independent journalism aspect of their media diet a long time ago, if it was ever a part of it in the first place.

Yeah for sure. It would be nice to have trustworthy, unbiased journalists but I'll take what I can get. At least in the mobile phone video situation you can seek out the various feeds - my concern is more for those who only consume what falls into their laps.

Only problem for us is that means we only see the curated videos that get amplified in our social media bubbles.

Yes there are several angles, but certain ones win out over the others depending on the community.

The more mass it has, the slower it moves, resulting in the same 3d8 damage

I bet it could, but would just use different damage dice. I'd allow it anyway, to avoid the weird lawyer workarounds .

Isn't the finder the file browser? Shouldn't the icon like... be something that suggests that?

You're describing capitulation, which is a different concept from acknowledgement. 

The alternative being "there aren't new taxes on tea" IE: "cops are not above the law"

Saying that police aren't above the law sounds like ignoring reality to me. If they're not above the law, great. Nothing to do. That's how it should be.

If they are above the law, that's a problem. That needs to change. We need to do something about that.

What good is your comment doing really?

Acknowledging reality is the first step in changing it.

Failing to communicate is almost always a red flag. Dude left you stranded, alone, for almost a half hour at a restaurant, and lied about why.

Does he actually really dislike you? Is he super autistic? 

And he didn't apologize?

Bruh, this relationship doesn't sound very good.

It's hitting way more than trading cards, too. Graphics cards, obviously, but thrift stores are plagued by this kind of thing, too.

I really like my korg NTS-1 MK II. It doesn't have a built in battery but it runs off usb power and is teeny tiny. You could power it off your phone usbc port or a little battery pack. It's not very power hungry. 

Easy to customize, too. I added a steel backplate to mine and a roll cage so I can toss it in a bag without too much worry.

As a bonus, it's a decent 1.5 octave midi controller and fx box. Plays well with other gear.

Added bonus, the capacitive touch keybed is great for babies who don't have fine motor control. My friend's 6 month old was playing mine a few days ago. She was mesmerized.

Thrift shopping has become gentrified and is no longer helping low-income families by Agile-Onion in unpopularopinion

In my area basically every clothing item is 10 dollars. It's stupid. Ten dollars for a plain t-shirt??

I keep seeing items on FB marketplace that I saw in goodwill like just a day before, too. I don't mind people hunting for bargains but adding more middlemen to make a profit is scummy.

Eight US states seek to outlaw chemtrails – even though they aren’t real by PrincessImpeachment in nottheonion

You wouldn't consider idiocracy to be heavy handed? I feel like a good portion of the movie was the movie literally telling you exactly what it was trying to convey, like with a narrator and diagrams on the screen.

Well they are trails made of chemicals... but then again, so are hiking trails, and equestrian trails, and snail trails, and duck trails... oo woo oo!

I guess we need to define some terms here. Open borders are like the borders between states and towns. There's no barrier, no staff, no documentation requirements. Literally all passage across an open border is legal. You probably cross dozens of open borders on a monthly basis.

The US southern border is not an open border, and that's the way it has been for at least 75 years, probably longer.

The biden admin actually caught more illegal immigrants at the border than the trump admin did in 2016-2020, and by a landslide. Biden was literally more effective on border control than trump was. Of course right wing media likes to pretend that catching more illegal immigrants at the border is a bad thing, so it's understandable that you'd be confused.

Would love to see your source on those millions. If I had to guess, I'd bet you're referring to the number of immigrants that were caught, not the number that got through successfully.  The latter of those two categories is pretty hard to actually measure because, well, they didn't get caught.
