…or they’re friends with child rapists, or owe favors to child rapists. Those three are the only answers that make sense.

That’s not the question.

Be a part of something major. This doesn’t have to involve something with legal repercussions.

If legal repercussions aren’t off the table, though, get arrested for something cool, like protesting ICE. Bonus points: try to get somebody to take at least one reasonably clear photo of you for the Wikipedia page.

Seoul is so close to the border, it’s within artillery range of NK. Kim can cause all kinds of havoc without resorting to nukes. If provoked enough, he could put one (or more) craters in South Korea’s largest city, without even playing his scariest card.

Then there’s the possibility of a military response from China. Nobody wants to be on the receiving end of that.

Lastly, NK has been under all kinds of sanctions for years. It might not be the “anything” you have in mind, but many nations seem to be doing about as much as they can without risking all-out war.

If I was a Tesla owner, the only thing I’d want to know is if I could turn Grok off.

“Now you can make every car ride awkward with our Virtual Racist Uncle Mimic! Tesla - the cars with VRUM!”

I would imagine that they’d forget most of what they learned the second they realized they were drowning. Panic would shut their brain down.

Maybe, if they recover somewhat and manage to doggie-paddle or something, they’ll remember a useful sentence or two.

lol no. I’m laughing at the way you recommend chatgpt like it’s new or something. You’re basically saying “Google it.”

Idk the name but maybe chatgpt knows

I’ve read (and written) a fair amount of garbage, but I’m pretty sure this is the most hilariously useless response I’ve ever seen. Congrats!

I imagine that being a content creator as a full-time job is much more difficult than most people realize. Also, the modern work environment is a hellscape, and I can’t blame people who want to avoid it. Still, it’s risky as hell - if the platform you rely on changes its compensation policies, you are screwed, and have even less legal protection/recourse than a McDonalds employee.

I wouldn’t expect a responsible person to take on that level of risk without a safety net. If you’re young and childless, then taking that risk is your call, and it’s unfair for me to judge you. If you’re relying on social media to pay the mortgage for your child’s home, though, you’d better have a backup plan and keep it ready.

After all this time, I still hadn’t noticed that. Thanks for pointing it out.

In my lifetime, I’ve met ONE very religious Christian who wasn’t a hypocrite. ONE. He was a very nice guy, though, and I hope he and his family are doing well.

The remaining 99.9% of the time, I’m absolutely with you.

I don’t blame them for being skeptical. Anything that corporations/rich people are enthusiastic about usually ends up screwing them.

This is the best and simplest answer.

You know what will make you feel better? Learn about early American history, specifically the Revolutionary War and the period shortly before it. Ordinary citizens conquered one of the most powerful militaries in the world. Ordinary citizens. People like you and me. There was no “perfect savior” to lead them, either - George Washington was in over his head at first, but was smart enough to learn from his mistakes.

What’s going on now is nothing to celebrate, but the ani-establishment heroes of the past certainly are.

That’s great, but when you have a majority of Supreme Court justices who routinely ignore the Constitution, “safeguards” won’t matter for shit. Laws don’t matter much when corrupt people have the final say.

It’s an old Simpsons quote, from Dr. Nick, a great side character.

“‘Inflammable’ means ‘flammable’? What a country!”

or something likened to a show

lol whoever wrote this definition must have seen some absolute garbage

Cheating is a highly emotional issue, possibly even to the point where people who aren’t empathetic will put themselves in the place of your boyfriend. Or maybe they just want to trash talk women under a seemingly legitimate cover.

Whatever their reason, to hell with ’em. I have a lot of respect for people who are willing to put in the hard work and overcome addiction. I wish you the best with your mental health, as well. All that really matters is what you and your boyfriend think. If the two of you are happy, then great!
