It felt like it was uncool to have even a touch of racism when Obama got elected and through his presidency. But since the MAGA movement, I feel like subtle and out-right racism has increased. Like a gateway was opened....
I think you’ve got part of it right from my recollection and experiences, but not quite the full thing. I think Obama’s success actually lead shitty people to lash out more, which brought trump to power, which emboldened those shitty people to stop hiding it and actually be proud and display it. I think the racism and shittiness was always there but people kept more of a lid on it. We just aren’t able to pretend it isn’t who we are more broadly anymore.
Hypothetically speaking if I a 18 year old man paid a 48 year old woman to have sex with me and I wear a condom and we both consented to it is that morally wrong or is it morally okay?...
Everywhere online now, every movie, every home video, has been passed through so many filters that people don’t look human any more.

I mean, you said it yourself and I went and checked. On March 7, there was a us embassy alert to avoid large gatherings over the next 48 hours. Wouldn’t be much to check it out before executing and replan.
You don’t. In their infinite wisdom they deemed it an unnecessary feature that people like you and I are oddballs for using in that way and removed it for our own betterment.
Electric vehicle designed with extra difficult to break windows traps driver when submerged in water. Seems pretty straight forward to me. I get that it’s tempting to think something nefarious and suspicious is happening, but I’ll take poor planning and lack of thought around safety almost every time.
I think they’re upset that they’ll have to compete with ps5 “influencers” for content that was once exclusive to them, or something stupid and modern age like that
Super weird, noticed it today on his right foreleg just above the elbow joint. Feels like there’s something underneath, and had this chunky white protrusion. Can’t find an exact match via Google. Expecting some sort of cyst or maybe a blocked gland?
Looked like either a rupturing cyst or maybe a skin tag. I wouldn’t think it’s anything serious but I will always recommend having a vet check it. Imo it’s likely nothing but I’m also not a trained vet.
Actually could be the breathing asshole of a parasitic fly larvae. Put some petroleum jelly over it in a thick layer and see if whatever it is crawls out.

I feel like this is exactly what the most disruptive members are wanting. Maybe I’m just being cynical and this is way off point, but it feels to me like they want a non-functioning federal government. This entire shit show is the plan. The wrench in the gears.
I personally have zero interest in anything Taylor Swift but why should I care if she’s focused on at all? Let’s say Red zone went full Taylor Swift for the entirety of the show. Ok. I’ll move on to something else. Why waste energy like this?
This is just my opinion, but I don’t think so. I love the thought and wish there was, though. I think no matter what you do, it’s still information about a potential user/customer and still tells someone looking at it about you. “Oh, we have information on about 4% of the population that wants to actively subvert our data analytics.”. Obviously that’s made up, I didn’t bother trying to even guess what a potentially realistic number might be.
Again in my opinion, the only way to provide no value to data analytics is to not be a data point, and good luck with that. Best I’ve been trying to do is disable targeted ads anywhere I can, reset my identifier ids regularly on things like android tv where I can, and try to blast cookies anywhere possible. I don’t know if it even makes a difference or just makes me feel better

Seconded. If it's marked nsfw and blurred, it's my choice to view at that point and I don't give a shit. My bad for playing roulette and losing if I clicked it and regret it.
