All of the 80’s were like that, the cold war

I would guess university agreements with publishers

There aren’t enough “got dangs” in this meme

Why don’t you americans have some younger and more capable people to vote for?

God I’ve said this almost as long as I’ve been able to vote

This was a spectacle precisely because Biden was supposed to come out as a powerful voice

Yeah I believe one of the people on the post debate panel said that the Biden team were the ones who pushed for this debate precisely to show that Biden was up to the task of being president again, which he failed at. Fair warning I could be dead wrong on that though.

Yeah I’m sure articles on Trump lying aren’t generating clicks like they used to, gotta get good clickbate somehow.

Because Trump performed exactly how he has in every previous debate, I’m not saying it was good but it was the same shit level of performance that I expected.

Biden performed horrendously compared to expectations, that’s why he gets the focus. Trump lying his ass off just isn’t news anymore, I’m not justifying it but it would have been stranger if he hadn’t.

I know Trump shouldn’t get a pass but the reason Biden is getting so much focus and Trump isn’t is pretty obvious. Trump did as Trump does and Biden had a horrible performance.

Sincere question did you watch the debate in its entirety?

I don’t know about top 3 popular, in the SE Hillary is probably one of the top 3 most hated politicians and land area wins elections here unfortunately.

Watched the debate, this is a verbatim quote I pulled from the transcript, Biden: “And if I’m elected, I’m going to restore Roe v. Wade.” Why does he have to wait for re-election?

I expect Reps. to strip rights and will always blame them for that. The flip side of that is I expect Dems. to restore them, which isn’t happening and so they should be criticized. It’s just always “we’ll fix it in the future” which is why I put the biden quote in.

I’d rather upgrade a component or two for that price, you know the thing PC gamers spend money on instead of getting a console to play exclusives.

Never really thought about this but reflecting back on it nonsexual intimate conversations with women when I was a teen definitely gave me a lot of insights on a woman’s perspective. Not only with friends but cousins around my age too, that was especially great around middle school because I was pretty nervous around girls then.

That being said I don’t think it will help a ton with getting a girlfriend in the first place necessarily, but it will definitely help once you are in a relationship afterwards and just in any interaction with a woman.

Successfully starting a relationship is hard as fuck. It’s a mixture of confidence, reading cues, timing, perseverance, and a ton more. The only sure way to learn how to do it is to try, take no for an answer, don’t be pushy, accept rejection it will happen a lot, and TAKE BREAKS. It’s pretty soul crushing when it doesn’t work out and it probably isn’t going to a majority of the time for many reasons. After getting consecutively rejected for so long you can start to develop some negative thoughts. When you start to feel like this just stop trying for a few months until you’re mentally right again.

All that said I would 100% advocate for having a personal platonic relationship with a woman, it just may not be too helpful in learning how to get a relationship started.

It is a bit but not terribly so imo, but I do hate Sony so I have a bias. Here is a more neutral article on it:

It’s a lot different in academia vs industry for hard sciences. I currently work in industry, we have no options in the things we research but we are funded to the Moon. There is of course some amount of bowing we have to do in order to keep them quiet but that’s about it.

In academia you have to secure your own funding constantly or your project just ends essentially. Academic institutions also look at metrics like impact factor and papers published/time that also effects the availability of funding. I know that people have had to stop pursuing doctorates due to funding issues. Politics in academia is notoriously horrendous.

Yeah but the original cannabis indica described has none of the physical characteristics of what it does today, there is not a genetic difference between sativa and indica that is sold in the cannabis market today.

Same as every year the country gets shittier, keep trudging along, voting, and hoping things improve. The way things are set up here I can’t feasibly leave, even moving in country would be a beast to save and prep for let alone out of country.

The “Freedom” we have is voting every couple years and that’s it. Even then they have tried everything possible to strip the voice of the majority of Americans. We are pretty fucking powerless for the most part.

Uvalde was a tragedy but this has absolutely no merit

WOTC could offer to come suck me off and still wouldn’t give them a fuckin dime. Fuck you Hasbro, you lazy sacks of shit wanted to have intellectual rights to work you didn’t create just because it’s in a rule system you have some IP in. You forever burned the bridge for me.

This packed in a Lemmy post is great, thank you that post is getting saved!

Thank you, I was looking for a syntax list too!
