I don’t understand the Democrat strategy at all

Someone else summed it up better than I can. The democratic party is doing exactly what it set out to do.

Nitter link.

They have no interest in furthering progressive policies so they don't. That's why the DNC chair is calling Bernie Sander's critique of the party's platform bullshit right now, instead of admitting he's right.

The system is as it does.

Its from a fine that doubles every day. There's no judge literally demanding google pay this amount of money. Makes a good headline, though.

FTA: "The company’s Russian subsidiary declared bankruptcy in 2022". Its just been doubling the whole time.

When the thing you enjoy and rely on is privately owned, the only way you can express your disappointment is to vote with your dollar.

Edit - the Post has always been too neolib for me to read regularly. I am not a subscriber

At least the art got "better".

Actually, it's ugly as sin, isn't it? The artist probably should have spent more time on the characters hands in the last panel instead of giving his face a tilt. Oh well, at least he's trying.

...everyone knows the positives. People who don't eat edibles really should be aware of the negatives, since if you're not expecting it, it could seem like something much worse.

This is honestly a bad situation overall. I live somewhere its legal and I occasionally imbibe,but I wouldn't want the surprise. I work nights, this could get me fired. What if someone's kid ate some, or someone on probation who needs to pass drug tests?

There are no checks whatsoever, no email or phone number required, no verification options—it just hands you an account for a 99-year-old, with full access to all chat features. (It took maybe five clicks from having no account to being able to play Blood & Gore.)

Come on now Kotaku. I was a kid once on the internet. I lied about my age once to sign up for Neopets, which had text forums, private messages and user-created pages. You could even use HTML and hotlink images. It really wasn't a big deal because my parents paid attention to what I did online, and the audience of the website was just children or people who wanted to play a simple game.

My mom ended up playing it, so she must have known I lied about my age to get access. She had hella neopoints.

For content marked 17+, you do need to verify your age with documentation

WHY IS THERE CONTENT FOR 17+ ON ROBLOX? Isn't this the TRUE child safety problem? Why do this at all? Why attract people looking for 17+ content on a platform for children??? I read that Hindenburg report, the entire platform is a mess. This company deserves to fail and those investors deserve to be left holding the bag.

You made this image with a green pepper? That's impressive, great work.

I always enjoy a nice warm cup of candy corn alongside my platter of fried eggs. Doesn't everyone?

Thank you. That answers my question. I figured you wanted to remain anonymous, but I liked your answer and I'll be interested in what you find.

I was trying to word my initial post in a way to prevent you from becoming defensive, perhaps I failed. Though, I do feel quoting yourself is a bit... gauche, no? Especially since you are remaining anonymous.

Are you a single person or a group of people? Do you have any credentials that you'd like to share that might give some context to your research?

Where is the quote in your bio from?
