I mean if it is a bell curve, even an average person is smarter than half the world. There's a selection bias on social media because those heated and ignorant threads get memed and shared either by people who believe the nonsense or by outrage.
It does. Biden is able to get away with being toothless and doing things like continuing to build the border wall. It feels like his only redemption is he's not Trump. I will vote my mind during the primaries but if it's Biden, I'm gonna hate that I have to vote for him simply because the alternative is worse.
The fact that they got the twerk animation to be so realistic gives me confidence that they're raising the bar and putting in the work on this game. Also every rule 34 modder is gonna take full advantage of this
That's the thing. Chiropractic could be considered a manual treatment which is a therapeutic modality. PTs do manual therapies that are less traumatic and are one component of the musculoskeletal issues that contribute to pain that chiro claims to heal.

I mean gamer "boycotts" have had a history of poor staying power (L4D anyone?) I do hope enough people have left to make places like lemmy thrive. Reddit can keep folks like the commenter in the pic
Part of it is the smaller base, but hopefully with more folks coming in, the different instances can help maintain that vibe
Everyone on DIY loves my kind of basic project that I posted. It's a pleasant feeling
For sure, but I am cynical about people's convictions when it comes to their sources of leisure and free time. I see it in all places. Folks are gonna watch the new flash even though doing so will help Miller's career. Activision/Blizzard has proven to be horrendous and for those that don't care about that, they also underdelivered on overwatch 2. Diablo 4, however, is the best selling game in the series. Even back in the day folks had wanted to boycott left 4 dead 2 only for them to end up buying it anyways.
Things like that make me hopeful, but my optimism is tempered.
I'm doing my part. I hope others do an exodus and not a hiatus.
A lot of those confederate statues got built in the 1950s and 1960s during the Civil rights movement.
