11·2 days agoi think i’ve had at least 10 or 15 external hdds since the early 2000s and have only had one die on me before i retired it to upgrade to a larger capacity
9·3 days agoshe’s just racist
pretty sure that’s a prerequisite for just the privilege of calling yourself republican. yes, black republicans hate black people too
did she have some kind of epiphany? or just getting bullied by her GOP colleagues for being a woman, and now she’s lashing out?
either way, i wouldn’t complain about more of this from more republicans
2·6 days agofor kids i would agree, it makes sense that it’s better to have breakfast than not–their brains and bodies are actively under construction and need all the macros. but for the remaining 60+ years of life, there are studies supporting the notion that breakfast is optional: https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/is-skipping-breakfast-bad#TOC_TITLE_HDR_2 all claims are cited
ultimately everyone should do what they want, but be skeptical of the “you must eat breakfast” claims bombarding everything everywhere, made by industries that have much to gain from everyone eating breakfast, and almost as much to lose from not everyone eating breakfast.
ultimately, every individual is responsible for what they choose to take as truth. this is why there has been such an aggressive assault on critical thinking in favor of “parental authority”-- just believe what you’re told and stop asking questions.
it’s not that hard to separate the plausible from the questionable, from the obvious bullshit.
as an example, dr. fauci is a doctor. he’s been a doctor for decades, has risen to high positions in the field, has been producing research, also for decades, which has been cited by other experts in the field frequently. and, prior to bullshit claims by trump and the entire GOP, was never the subject of any controversy.
so the discerning mind has no trouble concluding that it’s reasonable to assume that fauci, who knows what he’s talking about and has no apparent reason to mislead the entire world, is a credible source of information, while trump, a notorious conman who told 30,000 verifiable lies in his first term alone is absolutely NOT. so the GOP preaches “vaccines are bad,” and the “patriotic” american says “vaccines are bad”
yes it’s fucking mind-bogglingly stupid, but the problem isn’t a lack of availability of information, the problem is information literacy–the skill (yes skill) to separate truth (even if only “likely” truth) from fiction (even if comically obviously fiction). which the GOP is actively, deliberately, visciously undermining, while no one says a thing, because we’re preoccupied by nazi gestapo trump cultists rounding up innocent citizens because they’re brown
“breakfast is the most important meal of the day!”

tl;dr: it’s fucking not.
related: you’re not going to 100% die (or even get sick. yes really) if you skip a meal (or even 2), fatass.
edit: i have to add another thing
diamond engagement rings are absolute 100% bullshit, which, as a genXer, i only learned later in life. i wouldn’t be adding this if there weren’t still way too many people who are completely bamboozled by this fake “tradition” invented solely to make obscenely wealthy people even more obscenely wealthy.
1·8 days agoyou do you. enjoy your convenience. for my part, i will continue to spend $0.00 for the privilege of being the product.
all of these brands can take their smart devices and go fuck themselves with it. “convenient” GTFO
edit: it’s incredible to me, that people put as much trust as they do in the entire world
ok. tell me your account and routing numbers
who could have EVER guessed the fat drunk wifebeater-wearing “der terk er jerrrrrbs” americans wouldn’t sign up to do back breaking manual labor for minimum wage for 12 hours a day?
“ok. tell me your account and routing numbers then”
it doesn’t take much critical thinking to conclude that smart tvs are bullshit, but apparently too much for most people

9·10 days agoyou should also read their other article about forever chemicals https://www.propublica.org/article/3m-forever-chemicals-pfas-pfos-inside-story
outstanding journalism
just in case you needed another reason to hate her, you can thank her father, robert maxwell for the absolute bullshit academic publishing business model
can’t wait for the next young republican chat leak to see how they spin this to be totally aligned with the gop anti-gay mission
