Being angry at normal people because the rich have the ability to buy elections is not productive.

After decades of gerrymandering, voter suppression, disinfo, foreign interference, dark money and legalized bribery, US elections just do not reflect the will of our population. A famous princeton study showed that no major policy initiative has reflected public opinion since the civil rights era. It's conclusion was that functionally we are an oligarchy and not a democracy.

The rich who run the show deserve the scorn and blaming anyone but them helps them.

Single gene can directly cause mental illness

🙄 Sure, i believe you clickbait headline.

Children with null variants were 87 times more likely to develop a psychotic disorder and six times more likely to have an anxiety disorder by age 12, and around 12 times more likely to develop a mood disorder by age 11.

😮 Oh... well... fuck. Okay, that's a lot.

Multiple genres of games are about doing mass killings for fun.

You know that bit when you get bored playing some open world game, go around killing everyone, then reload? Postal is That: The Game. Just without the reloading.

Or that was how i thought about postal 1&2.

And fully co-operating with ice means breaking countless laws.

So, logically, all NOPD are criminals!

North and south are fundementally different, climate and biosphere -wise, so i don't think it would ever make sense to people to modify the same word to describe two very different things. East and west maybe less so, but dawn and dusk are pretty important differences.

Some polynesian cultures use two main direction words, which usually translate as something like mountain-ward and beach-ward.

You gotta say "nor-nor-east" instead, that's a blast.

given the fossil and archeological evidence for the spread of H. sapiens into the Levant and Arabia during [the era 130,000 to 80,000 years ago] and absence of Homo neanderthalensis from the Levant at that time, we argue that H. sapiens was responsible for the tracks at Alathar.

Scientists: Since we already know H. Sapiens was here then, we think they did it.

Headline: Human footprints shouldn't be here then!

Chiropracty is 100% grifting, so a natural fit for our current regime of thieves and liars.

If a field of medicine was first pioneered by a ghost, it's not a field of medicine.

Ah, dang. Thank you!

Those articles contradict your claims, because you're wrong.

They very clearly state that men report intimate partner violence at lower rates than women do, which explains why M/M IPV numbers are low and F/F higher.

Thank you for proving youself wrong! I trust you'll update your opinions and beliefs accordingly.

I just started playing Death Stranding, the game this is from. It took me a bit to get into it but it's a strong recommend.

The setting is a lot - evocative, tense and intense like a feverdream. Then the gameplay mostly revolves around carrying heavy loads and planning how to avoid or overcome rough terrain.

It's an odd combo but it definitely works.
