For 1980s life expectancy standards, they were old. The average life expectancy worldwide was around 60 years.

I haven’t done one yet. The bot problem here is better than Twitter at least but there’s probably still 10 or so bots following me here, ugh.
isn’t parallel parking EASIER for smaller cars?
republicans were so concerned about biden’s age that they nominated someone a whopping 3 years younger
Probably like 40% of all people have to take drugs (medicine) for the rest of their life. But when the drug is PreP or taking hormones it’s suddenly bad.
Genuinely hate how effective of a wedge issue "trans athletes" is for making people start to unwittingly support/agree with transphobic rhetoric. That talking point is designed to appeal to people's knee-jerk emotions rather than logic and that's why it's so effective.
yeah it does look like the AI mistook a shadow for a bump
There’s def some bad actors out there who use Palestine to mask their shitty views (a la Jackson Hinkle and Jake Shields) but I wouldn’t say those people are on the left. Those are right-wing poseurs looking for an excuse to hate Jews, not genuinely concerned about the issue.
Who even has work-related convos on LinkedIn, everyone on LinkedIn is either trying to use the platform as a resume, or an immature boomer boss using the platform to post “memes”/“inspirational” quotes
oooh that makes sense
no way in hell “climate change denial” wasn’t coined until 2000?
I mean, the World Wide Web was invented in 1989 and wasn’t available to the public until 1993, so it makes sense.
First ever Pepe profile picture I’ve seen that genuinely tries to roleplay as a frog.
Most concerning part in this video is the trapdoor. You could potentially hit your head on the floor if you’re not centered properly when it opens
Just casually running a third of a marathon
“Your honor, I needed to stand my ground against a child who rang my doorbell and then ran away from my house. My life was clearly at risk!” …the 2nd Amendment was a mistake
Probably a strange attempt at self-promotion
making you log in to see comments/other posts that an account made was probably their most devious trick. on some quora type shit
As if the platform allowing Nazis to spread their rhetoric unhindered wasn’t enough reason to leave. I pity anyone who’s still staying there at this point
The only reason we give the label “Democrat” any meaning is because of the views and policies associated with it. If you vote for anyone that calls themselves that regardless of their views or policies, then the label means nothing. Anyone can call themselves that.
There are over 4 billion women on this planet…
“The founding fathers never intended to legalize abortio-“ Yeah they didn’t intend to let women vote either, that’s why we had to change the fucking document
And we decided to make it so difficult to update to the point where most of our rights are held up by common law rather than the Constitution. Gives so much power to originalism.
I guarantee if you educate people on what socialism means, that percentage will decrease a LOT
Tbh both of them have always been pretty hated. It’s just becoming more mainstream.
They did nothing when it was unlawfully occupied for decades, why should we expect them to do anything now
When has the left defeated the right by moving to the right on anything, really.
And trying to block those sites is a wild goose chase, lmao. Every few days or so a new “unblocked games” website sprouts up.
Better yet, does he know how eugenics has been closely tied with fascism
“send all the otters to jail” fits perfectly
What ppl don’t understand is that we should be trying to make the world better than it was before, not just revert back to the pre-2016 status quo, because that status quo of the past was not only not great, but is also what led us to this point.
Uh no, the thread is still up. bsky.app/profile/wing...
Read the entire thread, they did mention it
i’d say taking hormones materially changes your sex, but who am I, a crazy “woke” person or whatever, to say about this issue
possibly a result of voice-to-text
It’s really funny when people hold other animals up to human moral standards, like wtf do you expect us to do about this
we’re sending the sea otters to jail 😤
Especially the people who have access to the entire Internet and still choose to use that crap as their main source of info. Willful ignorance.
Friend of mine and the only reason I even have the half job I do; I would basically be homeless. She's had major, major health issues and it's to the point where she has to ask for help financially. She's great and very kind and generous and I'd like to help her out, can you spare a couple of bucks?
From experience, I can confirm that people that only criticize Trump’s economic policies, but don’t complain much about his other policies, tend to be not so good people.
You can’t “fall from grace” if you had no grace to begin with
“libertarian” in bio
If you’re gonna vote for someone regardless of whether or not they fulfill your demands, then the candidate has no obligation to fulfill any of your demands. This is how we get Democrats moving further and further to the right. Threatening to withhold votes is how you get demands fulfilled.
Yeah I don’t think most voters are so incredibly transphobic that they wouldn’t vote for a candidate that wasn’t hell-bent on hating trans people. This cruelty is not even remotely necessary
The only reason why he stopped being the 4th most blocked is because JD Vance himself joined, not because Mark Cuban is more well-liked now lol
If they keep up the pace for the rest of the year the number will be 1,284 killed.
Over 3 people every day, jesus (it has been 241 days of the year so far)
Absolute cinema
Literally as long as you don’t actively hate trans people, and don’t want to prevent them from transitioning, they will vote for you over Trump. Not completely hating trans people is NOT a high standard. And Newsom cannot fulfill that.
Oh, so gender isn’t a social construct, but metal is? 😭
(as I said earlier, I don’t expect these laws to fully address the problem yet, the fact that they’ve gotten this far already is pretty good)
Definitely better than the US in terms of regulation, I’ll admit. Though it does seem a large amount of it is from earlier 2021 laws on deep synthesis. I don’t think these laws fully address the new risks with these chatbots, especially the possibility of it giving you psychosis, but good effort.
Ok good, I’m glad they at least have established some regulation. Though I’m not sure how well some points like “must be true and accurate” can be enforced for chatbots
Tbh, I’m not sure if there’s much regulation in any country when it comes to AI right now. This sort of situation is very new and I don’t think law has caught up.
(Also, this doesn’t solve the fundamental problem at all. CEOs simply should not be getting paid way more than workers to begin with. It’s like seeing someone criticize wealth inequality and then go “Well why don’t you just become rich”)
You already need quite a bit of money and resources if you want your business to succeed. And that’s assuming major businesses don’t try to crush your ass
it’s fine lol
true, probably should’ve put good in quotes
It is actually 100% true, I interviewed 5 Yalies in my head and they all agreed.
most definitely a joke but it’s still corny
(This is why in the slim off-chance I ever have kids, I wouldn’t be forcing them to go to church or become religious.)
I get it, any attempt at forcing religion on others (including children) should be done away with. That is pretty much the entire purpose of religious schools. And with hospitals, I don’t really see a point in them being religious.
Leftists can do even better. Imagine if people were like “If this candidate doesn’t immediately make the entire world an anarchist utopia the instant they enter office I ain’t voting.”
I don’t think the world is ready for actual leftist purity politics
It’d be different if it was the general and we all had to choose between Gavin and Trump, but it’s not the general or even the primary, and there are plenty of other viable candidates that are not anti-homeless, anti-worker, and transphobic. We don’t have to support him, especially not now
I understand the assignment and it’s not Gavin. The primaries have not even happened yet. I have contempt for people that are already rushing to vote for this diet Republican asshole, just because his staffers make good Twitter posts.
What does this survey define as “political views”. Because I imagine if you asked “Would you think it’s acceptable to cut off a family member for being racist/sexist” instead, there’d be a significantly different response.
Pressure from major corporations also likely had something to do with it. The COVID pandemic was obviously not very profitable
I remember him mostly as a dumbass neoliberal but that tracks as well tbh
Red Scare/anti-communist propaganda has played a large role. Capitalist regimes try their hardest to paint state socialists/communists as uniquely evil and oppressive in a way that capitalism isn’t, and it’s effective to the point that many instantly think “communist” when they hear “authoritarian”
Trump would also 100% use this as an excuse to “intervene” by sending in the National Guard to the state.
Honestly, reading Wikipedia articles for two hours would be better education than whatever the hell this is
damn I didn’t know about any of this
he had a couple of good takes so I decided to follow. has he done anything bad?
As if people wouldn’t still be like “Damn, that’s terrible but we can’t do anything about it, it’s inevitable due to 2A” Gore is good at drawing attention, but not good at convincing people to join your side. Pro-lifers show gory photos of dead fetuses, but that hasn’t convinced many pro-choice ppl
So the news station can get more clicks and views 😒
The restaurant is pretty much exclusive to the U.S. so not surprising
I’m pretty sure the “new logo” was an alternate logo they were already using on some highway signs
The entire paper is available online apparently. I presume this newspaper is meant for younger readers, since most of it is just like “Yay, let’s support Israel in schools because Israel is the Jewish country” instead of appeals to national security. jewishfederationcny.org/wp-content/u...
Suddenly getting angry over news that happened over a year ago is very Trump-esque
“The physicians are real I swear, you just wouldn’t know them because they go a different school.”
You never hear people suggesting to raise the military age even though you are WAY MORE LIKELY TO REGRET GETTING WOUNDED OR TRAUMATIZED DURING COMBAT than any trans surgery
She ended him I’m afraid
Hell this is probably Elon NOW
you are naive if you think a single person or a select few people in control of the entire means of production will distribute it farily
If you are hiring other people to work FOR you, instead of working WITH others, you ain’t an anarchist. Quit this ancap BS.
Most anarchists are communists in the broad sense of the word, in that they want common ownership of means of production, and a classless, stateless, moneyless society. They differ from Marxists in HOW they want to achieve that
Saying “Lava can’t kill me, that would be illegal” as I stand right next to an erupting volcano
No that by itself is not good enough climate policy? You think using electric cars will help the climate crisis more than increasing public transport?
the enemy that pretends to be your friend is more dangerous than the enemy that has obviously been your enemy from the start
What are you talking about, that’s completely real. That’s how I look
his hair can’t decide what color it wants to be
I find that repeating the mantra “Doing this will give me power and money, only my success matters, everyone else doesn’t matter because they’re not me” around 30 times before you sleep really helps. (/j but they probably actually think this)
The only way you could support the current system is if you believe something better isn’t possible
it’s not exactly rocket science to come up with a name for a painting… if you have to use AI for that that’s just embarrassing
Also I don’t think most of the people using Mastodon know that you can click the “favorite” button on a reply of a post
Mastodon feels so dead, like I tried to search there for all the people I liked on Twitter, and none of them had used the website since like 2024. Bluesky made them irrelevant I fear
