I do not like how the change was made without any input from anyone. It seems heavy-handed and reminiscent of the days when the original The Donald subreddit got all new mods who brought in a ton of changes no one wanted.
The no talk about DEW seems pretty wild when there are so many videos of how things that were blue survived the attacks and plants were untouched but cars melted and buildings burnt to nothing. It just seems to have come out of nowhere and seems like slippery slope as topics get pushed into the "no no" list more and more. This board was having some very deep and interesting threads about DEW but now we are supposed to just censor ourselves and never mention it again?
A ton of people have been helped with health advice on here with all the talk about ivermectin and other tools. I hope we don't see a similar crackdown on that or this site really will have gone off the deep end. I hope that these rules will be reversed and let people speak about what is on their hearts and minds without fear of mods banning them. I expected that on facebook or the old twitter, surprised it's a thing now on here.
Worth pointing out the colors have been manipulated to look more red than they are. This is fear mongering. See the real source of the image (and real colors) here
I asked chatgpt what the image means and it got the jist of it: This meme is a play on words. The image shows a boat with potatoes, suggesting the phrase "tater ship," which sounds like "dictatorship." The caption, "this is not a democracy it's a," implies that instead of being a democracy, it is a "dictatorship," using the visual pun of a ship full of potatoes to complete the joke.
One theory from an evolutionary perspective I've heard is that while being gay obviously ends the gene line directly, it does create an able bodied member of society that can contribute resources for siblings, cousins, etc. which strengthens the genetic fitness of the family as a whole and reduces competition on resources since the gay member would have no children of their own.
Whether there's any validity to that, that's for you to decide 😂
It's very much the same stuff that Temu is selling for a fraction of the price. I went to buy a nightstand and saw mostly the same products on both pages. Amazon is just the middleman for Chinese junk.
