Libraries offer far more than just books. They often double as community centers and offer lots of free services that could really help lower income demographics. They actually also offer audiobooks a lot of the time.

Besides all that, of all government services that are available, they’re cheap as fuck to operate comparatively speaking. The only reason to target libraries is because it gets the mouth breathers thumping. Nobody burning books (metaphorically and literally) has ever been on the right side of history.

Are you new here?

Regardless of intention, the US government put its stamp of approval on a lot of misinformation during the pandemic. Whether that was an attempt to deceive or just incompetence, it doesn’t inspire trust at all.

This is just blatant dog-whistling. What misinformation, bruh. Share your crazy conspiracy theories so I can dismiss them out of hand.

OP is an anti-vaxxer and COVID denier so, adjust your bullshit meter accordingly.

It absolutely does. If you’re rejecting basic, verifiable scientific facts based on your politics or religion, you’re fucking stupid.

The “people in power” didn’t suggest that moving is an insane idea, you did.

So moving is an insane idea, but transferring huge portions of land between states is totally rational and reasonable?

Christ, this comment section is a dumpster fire.

I really struggle to empathize with the mindset required to come into a post (both the original bear post and this one) about women being sexually assaulted and going “BuT wHaT aBoUt MeN’s FeELiNgS!?!?111!!???”

You people need to crawl out of your own assholes.

Same. This was very common mom attire when I was growing up.

None of those services offer the same kind of content though. Tiktok offers 30s - a couple of minutes videos (vines, essentially), streams are hours long and are fundamentally different because they’re interactive with chat. YouTube offers the 5min - 30min edited content, with exceptions here and there (1hr+ content).

Your 11 year old nephew doesn’t watch YouTube because he’s 11 and has the attention span of a squirrel. He’s not watching a 30 minute video about the Canadian housing crisis.

I’m technically an immigrant from europe (came over at 1 year old) and even to me given I grew up here it feels weird and fake to keep a flag from there.

Source: see abortion bans. Women with unviable pregnancies that will kill them can’t get abortions. Control is the entire point.

I just laugh now when people say “there will be reasonable exceptions”. We already went on this rodeo with abortion. There will be no exceptions. Reality is slapping voters in the face and they just don’t care.

Women. When Conservatives are screaming that they hate you, believe them.

Well your original statement indicated that you were most concerned with the randomness of the meat. You even specified freshness was not a criterion. Would you like me to select a piece for you, would that assuage your reservations?

As opposed to a random piece of beef, pork, or poultry?

sourdough bread is pretty swell.

His death, under suspicious circumstances, objectively benefits Boeing in an ongoing criminal investigation.

That seems like sufficient justification to conduct an investigation.

Well there is the issue that to become a billionaire one must exploit and abuse tens, hundreds, thousands of people? Not to mention second order effects from their actions like bankrolling politicians that strip workers rights or safety standards for example, which impacts millions of people. Some people want to see some justice I suppose.
