Don't count on turning off the device. Cell phones can still monitor you when powered off. They go into a sort of sleep mode even when instructed to shut down. I wouldn't be surprised if laptops do this too. No surprise that more and more devices don't let you remove the battery.

Of course. They're either weak men who couldn't take a stand, hysterical women, or brainwashed sheep. I wouldn't trust any if the three.

Try working on something meaningful. Building your own house or working your own land. It's hard work but you will get so much satisfaction from it that it's incomparable to today's jobs. People were meant to work hard for themselves, their family, and possibly God (I am ambivalent about religion), but not for other men who rule over them.

Something doesn't have to be genetic for it to be innate. A lot can go wrong in the interim which leads to all sorts of differences in people from poor vision (ever worn glasses?) to possibly even homosexuality. Maybe the parasite thing holds up but I'll need to see some evidence.

This one really got to me. What a cute little guy, his life taken away and his smug mom acting like nothing traumatic has just happened.

I'm cool with the dregs getting a lighter (but still substantial) sentence to incentivize squealing. Otherwise they'd have no reason to talk. As it is, they are incentivized NOT to talk due to the risk of "suicide."

Seasoned web developer here. Let me know how I can help!

It was. Op is a liar.

Not cool take his gun. I don't care who he is, he has a right to bear arms.

Hot take, but advise her to simply, but firmly, say "No, and don't ask me again."

A lot of people here like to pat themselves on the backs for being "critical thinkers," but they just post clickbait or upvote threads without first understanding them or even reading past the title.

I want to go back to 1995. The internet was cool, but people still connected in person or you know, actually called each other. Cell phones were pretty much non-existent. That might be the last good year. I know some of you older pedes will say it was much better before then, but that's my frame of reference as a 10-year-old in the 90s. It was still a hell of a lot better today, and that's not just rose-colored lenses.

Maybe the masks helped them improve their facial recognition algorithms enough that they can still tell who you are, mask or no mask.

Maybe he's not afraid.

What is the third company?

It says Sept 14 [-18].

Minus 18? As in 18 days left of the 21 days everyone keeps talking about? Won't September 14th be exactly 3 days after the start of the 21 days of prayer that Trump just mentioned? Therefore 18 days left.

Looks like even the sons of evil billionaires don’t iron their shirts,

It's working for me. I wonder why others are having issues

Has anyone taking Ivermectin noticed they don't much care for their cats anymore? I'm asking out of curiosity since I've heard of a parasite that brings mice into close proximity with cats so that the mouse will be eaten, thus transferring the parasite to its final host, the cat.

A few articles have suggested that it has a similar effect on humans, driving them to want to be around cats. Curious if anyone has noticed anything.

There is a bok about this called the Contagion Myth. I highly recommend it

It's just one plausible theory. I keep it on the backburner but I don't want to become blind and rely on someone else cleaning up this mess alone. It's up to all of us.

Ah yes, wait until you losE everything and finally die. Only then should you act. After all, Jan 6 was really scary.

This place has become a cult. Too many religious nuts who need something to believe in and can't see how they're contributing to the problem. All the thought-provoking posts are buried under reddit-style trash and pay-to-win hopium.

It could be panic. But it could also be contempt. Maybe they're in so much control that they don't even need to pretend anymore. I mean look at the election. Didn't even try to hide it.

Under twelve? Why not under 18? Why do you draw the line at 12? The vax is more harmful than molestation, and we draw the line at 16-18 for sexual consent.
