Trump's all about using strong emotional language without actually saying anything. Using vague language so that you can interpret it however you want is kind of his trademark.

Rush Limbaugh was also a master of it, and conservatives have convinced themselves he was a great man too.

Between this match, the Wolves bottle job yesterday, and Maidstone's deep run this cup has been amazing.

Pulling for Coventry to keep the dream alive.

I think the issue is that there is sexual imagery of the person being created and shared without that persons consent.

It's akin to taking nude photos of someone without their consent, or sharing nude photos with someone other than their intended audience.

Even if there were no stigma attached to nudes, that doesn't mean someone would their nudes to exist or be shared.

One person doing something bad? You clearly didn't read the article.

And to suggest that our scientific research institutions shouldn't be scrutinized or there isn't room to improve the process is a little naive.

I generally have a pretty high trust in science, but my faith is shaken when I come across shit like this

That's "doing what you can and not taking responsibility for things that aren't your fault"

I think it's a combination of learned helplessness and an unrealistic expectation of your ability to affect change.

As of July 1st, 2023, there are 334,914,895 million people participating in the US political system, I think it would be a little ridiculous if every one of them could influence our government. Not all the people can vote, but they're still participating in the political system whether they know it or not.

Each of these people have their own ideas, hopes, dreams, ideologies. It takes a long time to sway that much public opinion, even when you aren't fighting disinformation campaigns from powerful corporations and state actors. Keep at it and have realistic expectations about the impact you'll have and how quickly things will change.

Do what you can, live the best life you can, and don't take responsibility for things that aren't your fault.

Edit: corrected the population of the United States because people oddly focused on that part of my comment.

My masters degree in statistics has been instrumental in my job, both in getting the job and using the skills I learned on a daily basis.

My degree 100% improved my life and opened doors for me that I wouldn't even have known about without it.

I typically only go when she’s working because she and I get along well

I think this was the part where things might have gotten creepy

I've had my eye on the Framework 16 and it has an option for an AMD processor and dedicated graphics card.
