Having people of color, which automatically qualified it as “ghetto”. We were under-resourced, and it seemed a lot of the talented kids moved to attend a rival school instead. We routinely got our asses kicked in academics and sports.

I don’t know of such a community, but I’ll point you in the direction of conditional probability.

Six Sigma “graduates”

Lol fair description

I’m a dude, he’s a dude, she’s a dude, we’re all dudes, hey

Sad / trans girl / looking for laugh-out-louds

Anonymous polling would be nice

Kinda hope people find out after fucking around so much

I guess I’ll keep trying to get out of the house, despite my anxiety about that now. That way, the folks in my community will be able to say they personally know (of) at least one trans person, which will hopefully inspire them to oppose any anti-trans policies that come up.

I also want to be a role model for all the eggs out there who might otherwise be too scared to come out.

A random idiot posts random bullshit on social media – but we gotta take it seriously because they might end up being attorney fucking general. Welcome back to the Trump era.

I don’t think so.

But if it’s like any other norm-breaking violation we’ve seen him make, he will do it anyway, there will be legal challenges, they will ultimately be fruitless, he will suffer no consequences, and everyone will go along with it.

Savor these headlines now. We probably won’t see any more like them for a long time.

Dizziness
Increased blood pressure
Increased heart rate
Nausea
Vomiting

Shit I might die

Anxiety
Panic attacks
Paranoia
Hallucinations
Short term memory impacts

Damn I might think I’m dying (and maybe not even remember)

Time distortion
Sleepiness

I mean… what would you trade for a superpower and a good night’s sleep?

Some of the companies involved that are mentioned in the article:

• Service providers (Comcast, Charter, Cox)
• Entertainment (Disney, AMC, Paramount, Warner Bros. Discovery
• Those connected to advertising (Google, Netflix, Amazon, Meta, Vizio, the NFL)
• Home security (ADT)

As another comment said, I also dropped everything and read the article. So yeah I guess that’d mean Streisand effect is coming into play.

Regarding the topic at hand: I don’t care what these companies say at this point. The fact is that in the past, I have used their services, clicked the “free” button, did some things, and then ended up having to pay them money.

Until the day comes that I get a letter in the mail from the government saying, “Here’s how much you paid in taxes, if you’re cool with that then please disregard”, I will not be satisfied.

Klan.

I don’t care the intent or the season or the laws or the lulz. You wear a white fucking sheet to a polling place in a southern state, it looks like the fucking Klan. Fuck them.

Sphygmomanometer

I’m just guessing here, but I imagine it’s for “marketing purposes”. People sometimes (perhaps often) move around without changing their phone number, so area code alone wouldn’t be enough to pinpoint where you live.

Knowing where you live probably helps with micro-targeting ads.

The warriors of the resistance to the AI-pocalypse will wear red sneakers and wisecrack like it’s 1994.

FEMA has a webpage for catalogging and responding to rumors about the hurricane response, though I don’t see any as extreme as the ones mentioned in this thread: https://www.fema.gov/disaster/recover/rumor/hurricane-rumor-response

I’m skeptical of how much this will help after seeing how misinformation spread during COVID, but at least they’re trying.

Red Bull commercials confused me so much in my younger years. Obviously it can’t make you fly, so what does it do?

Even into my adult years, I’ve found myself avoiding energy drinks, not just because they usually taste awful, but also because they trigger this subconscious feeling that they’re trying to scam me.

Ah yes, that thing that sites mention on those annoying popups before making us sign away our privacy anyway.

Just logged in, just found it, just opted out. Thanks for the heads-up OP.

But fucking fuck. Can we put a stop to this? Legally? We could call it sometime like… The National Opt-out Policy Elimination (NOPE) Act or something.
