Drugs. All of them.

Whatever you do, never take a pill. Especially vitamin C. Or Zyrtec.

To piggyback on this, left-leaning echo chambers tend to underestimate the impact of turning on Israel amongst older voters, who tend to be more religious.

Please stop posting reliable sources that have a left-leaning bias!

I bet we can fundraise to get you there so you can just poop on the floor in the middle of the hearing. You can be the hero

Anti-trans laws have only increased in recent years. Having a Republican president won’t impact state legislatures and their momentum on this

4% of reported crimes. That’s even worse

I hope you aren’t from Ohio

You might be confusing gold standard with gold reserve. Fort Knox is definitely a thing. We have a gold reserve.

I love when people reply to data with anecdotes

Are you implying that kids today are more likely to lie on anonymous surveys than past generations? That is a mind-boggling assertion. What makes you think that?

Considering the article specifies that drugs, alcohol, and tobacco are “social” activities, I think this makes sense. It’s not good that kids are shifting to solitary activities

“Drug use, particularly among adolescents, is typically a social event,” said Miech. “The social distancing policies during the pandemic were designed so that all teenagers and adolescents hardly interacted with anybody except their own immediate family.”

So… they don’t have friends? Very uplifting

Bob Saget? More of a Ron Howard line

“My decision was guided by the fact that we had just published a column on the same topic as the cartoon and had already scheduled another column – this one a satire – for publication.”

It’s hard to make an argument that they are protecting Bezos if they already had 2 other articles criticizing him. But then why not just delay the cartoon?

Toxic gender norms hurt everyone.

I think this is exacerbated by certain people online who want to capitalize on the issue and scapegoat others (see the manosphere and how they talk about feminism) instead of actually addressing the problem

There’s only so many ER docs working in any area at one time. The bad truth is that you can’t save everyone in the situations because you only have so many skilled people available

Cuphead? Idk if it’s quite “cutesy” but with all the old-timey graphics it doesn’t strike me as something that should’ve been so tough

The FBI is investigating the NO attack as an act of terrorism. This is how misinformation spreads.

lol if you think Republicans want to protect government workers

Sorry, I think you might be confused or perhaps replying to the wrong person. I have consistently stated that there was no increase in SEVERE CASES.

From my original:

The issue is that it’s less severe, partially because people have immunity and partially because the virus is weaker (this happens with new illnesses - they get less fatal and spread more).
