Just one more lane bro

I have Boost which tells me when it’s been cross posted. It says 3 times.

Why is it trash? And it hasn’t been posted on this community before

Yes, politicians were afraid to do anything about it for decades. It was a wink wink arrangement. Now it will be more official

Unfortunately we’ve seen over and over again that they are very narrow in what they accept as protected religious belief. Because they don’t really care about freedom or the first amendment, just coercing their particular beliefs on others

It is classic tech company strategy.

We saw it with Amazon offering suspicious deals for years on name brand stuff to kill competitors. Uber offering subsidized rides to kill taxis. Google Photos offering unlimited free storage

If it seems too good to be true, check under your feet and see if there’s a rug there.

🤦‍♂️

It sounds like few expect it to be. It’s just about buying time for other interventions

This is a really astute point and I totally agree. I have seen this in public meetings, where a basically the agenda is set by the people who speak up most. One exception might be social networks with feeds that promote based on engagement. They push things up in the feed when they have replies, whether positive or negative. But this is part of why people are pointing out that such networks are harmful, because it amplifies our worst instincts

A strange character in that he preached some ideas that were correct (excessive meat eating is a major cause of health issues) but also a lot of crazy/harmful stuff. It is a satisfying metaphor that his namesake cracker lives on as a dessert- all it needed to be a classic was a little bit of pleasure thrown in

The photo submitter must have had a moment of doubt: should I really post this? Do I really want to associate this food with…this? And then they just went for it. Gotta respect it lol

I just think they’re neat

Well that was one possible explanation, but your own source points out fuck had a different archaic meaning.

The state of being watched constantly does harm in itself, even if we are doing nothing wrong. Because we are left to constantly look over our shoulders, like prey animals

I’d say there are different classes of MacGuffin. Some are actually more important and notable in themselves, like the Holy Grail. The One Ring is not really a MacGuffin because it has character in itself. Mount Doom in some ways is the actual MacGuffin. In Mission Impossible 3 they are chasing this thing called the Rabbit’s Foot, but the movie never actually explains what it is (it’s classified)! In the newer movies they retcon it to be more important. The Infinity Stones are MacGuffins uniting multiple movies’ storylines together. The MacGuffin moniker can be pejorative, but it’s also part of the reductive aspect of storytelling. We only have so many ways to tell stories.

Valuable plot

He doesn’t think.

Life comes at you fast

I’ve been following the Annenberg Crossing since the earliest days. It’s amazing
