Doing nothing is worse than taking rights.

No, the latter is absolutely still worse.

Dementia doesn’t follow a linear decline. He could have good days and worse days

I’m in some circles that would never support her because she sat down with Hasan Piker. I would absolutely support her, but she’s pretty polarizing. Same was said of Bernie despite him having one of the most successful grassroots attempts in history. Blows my mind that because they’re populists they’re immediately discounted by some, even though the positions they support are the ones we desperately need.

Forgive my rant, but just because Trump is a populist with us vs them rhetoric does not make them equal by any fucking stretch of the imagination, and it drives me insane that the friends I’m thinking of are so blinded by the label.

Gonna disagree with the anarchist viewpoint because physical damage to inanimate objects can still cause PTSD, battered spouse syndrome with enough incidents over time, etc. It’s the threat of danger that matters.

Just because it doesn’t fit your ideological view doesn’t mean people are lying by looking at it differently

Keeping in mind it’s a majority of the voting population. Millions sat out that didn’t in 2020. Millions more don’t show up consistently because they’ve been systematically conditioned into apathy or forced to jump through hoops they can’t prepare for like voter id laws or polling stations being shut down. Same issue - they lack the media literacy or just reading comprehension in general at times.

Hamas reneged and is claiming it is a crisis that Israel isn’t releasing convicted murderers. I have zero fucking evidence for this but it absolutely wreaks of Russia aiding Iran et al into keeping this going until Trump is in office and can claim it as a win.

Wait what the bloody fuck? I haven’t heard anything about this. Sounds right up their alley, but what evidence is it based on?

I suddenly feel a sense of oneness with the universe

It’s actually added to table salt iirc, but I don’t remember the exact function it serves. I did have a boss once tell me she was getting depressed and thought she was dying… Went to her doctor and found out her substituting sea salt (which doesn’t usually have iodine) was causing a lot of issues with her mental health. I can’t recall the physical issues she had developed, if any at that point. I think she’d only made the substitution a few months or so prior to getting it figured out

What do you call a doctor that graduated last in their class? Doctor

Check out restorative justice models. One in Colorado has boasted 95% victim satisfaction and recidivism crashed from 50 down to like 10%. We can use this data to demonstrate what justice models are better, regardless of a definitive definition.

I’ve slept since I watched and am not great with tech, but iirc the link with the affiliate code when clicked takes you to the site. Then honey has a pop up that, when clicked, replaces the link with their own, swiping the commission. Hope that makes sense - most people likely would not catch it. The Linus tech tips was used as an example of even a tech channel with lots of employees taking quite a while to notice themselves, and even when they did, it wasn’t quite conclusive for some reason?

Another thing the video touched on is that honey would claim to search for coupons but often opt to show what the partnered companies want. So, could be there’s a coupon for 50% but they only show 10%.

I’ll add that two people can experience the same trauma but only one develop PTSD. I started a lecture series on trauma a while back that started off explaining that if you find yourself starting to have symptoms, try to catch yourself and remind yourself that you’re in a learning environment. That’s just one method, and it can be difficult to maintain without further education and training

Do you have research that demonstrates this conclusively? I’ve taken courses in psychology of aging, lifespan development, brain & behavior, etc. None of them discussed such a claim for everyone, but it’s possible I didn’t pay well enough attention.

I asked ChatGPT as well, and it’s disagreeing with you, for the record. There are changes and differences, but the brain is a muscle like any other that requires training. Learning new skills, solving puzzles, etc. is correlated to the maintenance and/or improvement of the organ over the lifespan.

Cognitive decline is not inherent to old age. It is something to look out for.

Just because it’s what you want doesn’t mean you speak for everyone. That’s the point of democracy.

Age isn’t inherently a bad thing in politics. We’re a representative democracy, and older adults deserve representation reflected as equally as any other eligible voter demographic imo (which could include felons and other disenfranchised populations where possible, but that’s a whole other convo).

It’s disproportionately skewed due to lack of term limits, it’s often safer for parties to run an incumbent, and there’s benefits to having someone with the experience stay in, so idk. I don’t have a ton of solutions by any means, just want to push back on the ageism and add some nuance here. Bernie’s still out there doing a his job representing the demographic well

Yep. We approved it because it’s that or continue with a total ban with no exceptions for rape or incest, to be clear. We had some of the strictest laws in the country on abortion, juxtaposed by some of the most lax on gun control.

Oh and we also just banned ranked choice voting, so. This state is weird.

The fact that you’re registered is wild to me. One of the few things my state has right is having open primaries imo
