I am truly sorry for the situation you find yourself in.

Meta makes far more money from scammers than they will from you so it's in their best interest.

This is the line that is often repeated but it is simply not convincing except to people who are on that side (which is my side too if that matters). To me, it is obvious that a number of opinionated decisions are made in writing a Wikipedia article, and those decisions are consistently biased. In the last 10 years or so it has been REALLY bad and if you consume information from many different news sources, it is easy to spot the bias Wikipedia carries despite it trying to look like a factual and neutral source.

Every assertion I checked from that article is false. So there is no evidence Wikipedia has a bias.

I stopped reading after the umpteenth paragraph not mentioning the book.

Women who are economically well off and can afford necessities, child care, and education for their children are having families.

And no, the answer is not more immigration; we just had an election that overwhelmingly rejected that idea.

I don't think that is the case. According to pre-election polling more than 50% of voters said the economy was their biggest concern and only 25% said immigration. And the Democrats were largely touting the status quo which cleary people do not want.

Why communism?
obpe · a year ago
I think they're referring to the Soviet Union under Stalin, a dictatorship, which was very much opposed to homosexuality.

Are you looking at the fake retail price or the actual price? See https://www.astralcodexten.com/p/the-compounding-loophole

The median american has a >62k disposable income and can easily afford to pay $254/month to a compounding pharmacy (not covered by insurance)

The poorer you are the more likely you are to be obese.

I just don't understand this victim complex these people have. Alex Jones still did his show after he was deplatformed, so what do they really want? This is just a big whiny, "I don't like the consequences to my speech"

The reason it's a problem is the cost. Diet and exercise are free.

"What if we did psychic mediums but on a computer?"

This simply preys upon a lonely and vulnerable population which needs to process their grief not dwell in it.
