Most recent one I got was a phishing scam for Trump accounts for kids (the $1k you can get if your kid was born in a Trump year). This really is a shit timeline.

About 60" for the living room, but I try to prioritize image quality over size since I can adjust the distance. Since I have young kids, I have to keep the screen higher and farther than I like, though.

Otherwise, that's it. I use computer monitors if I'm in any other room, and those are ultrawide 30" I think. (And although it's not the question, ISP panels are my favorite even with OLEDs taking over the world. I just like their color profile.)

And kitchen? C'mon. Get a tablet like a normal digital junky.

DNC did this to MAGA candidates and it backfired dramatically. Happy to see GOP falling for the same faulty logic.

And somehow "Everyone is welcome" is permitted. These types of restrictions suck regardless of political notices but the right makes it so much dumber.

Notable that the highest favorably is where the countries invest in soft power. When DOGE gutted the USAID, many of those developing countries noticed (although some of these countries always hated the US, lol)

Say what you will but Taco Hell sounds way better than Taco Bell. More accurate, too!

Depending on how slow the people in front of me are, I'm also more homicidal! At least Sonic has a lethal spin dash for such occasions.

You go, skeleton courier; shoot your shot!

To clarify for others not sure what the counter argument should be as an atheist, start by understanding that religion is not a requirement for morality and consciousness. You evolved to have empathy and respect for other humans as part of surviving as a social animal; you get along with others or you die. This also applies to animals to varying degrees, although culture tends to dictate which animals deserve respect.

In other words, the "golden rule" applies to other humans and animals within that definition and are granted as the same rights we want for ourselves, sexual autonomy included. That's why most of us wince at the thought of this faulty premise because that's the normal reaction, aside from it also just being gross.

"What about the bad people?" you might wonder, given you probably know a guy who would fuck roadkill. Well, empathy is an evolutionary trait, so just like any trait it'll vary, with some having no empathy at all because being a good liar is also sometimes a solution to society (it's just, less so since if too many select that route, the whole tribe dies).

Aside from that, humans form groups and prefer in -groups over out-groups. Typically this means you are more likely to cooperate and share resources with people similar to you because they're more likely to return the favor due to proximity, but it can also be manipulated by leaders to dehumanize whole groups of people, leading to all sorts of horrific treatment like rape and murder. Empathy doesn't factor in at that point.

Religion, if anything, is just another grouping factor that has been used to create such othering and dehumanizing of people, as history has shown for thousands of years and still happening today in places like Gaza. But back to the roadkill fucking; if religion is the only thing stopping you from fucking a dead deer, then there is clearly something very wrong with you, both from a moral lack of empathy for animals and from a sanitation standpoint.

Correct, and an actual study can isolate variables and when you do that, tech is usually a boon. It's especially easy to do with tech, but long term studies are still difficult because of history effects and imperfect control groups.

I can believe Gen Z is doing worse, but almost every study I've been around in education has found Socioeconomic Status to be the strongest factor (by far) and given Gen Z and Alpha are raised by the first generations to have economic decline, it stands to reason that's probably the main factor here.

School interventions do help to some degree to mitigate SES, it's just hard when it's this bad for this long. We're talking decades of decline.

Yeah but that's most of DC right now. Undead walk the halls of Congress.

The part that annoys me most is not one, but three people I know blame Linux for not supporting the invasive anti-cheat, and not the developers.
