To be fair, 54% of adults in the US have a literacy level below a 6th grade level. 21% are illiterate. So that leaves 25% of the population to be highly literate and actually read and understand this shit.
By sheer majority of numbers, our nation is fucking stupid. Just look at our president…
For reference, because I had to check, the drop that lead to the great depression was a 13% loss on Black Monday. Black Tuesday saw a 12% loss. This continued until it lost 89% of it’s total value. Today’s loss was 5.5%. Certainly a warning sign when you consider that the loss trend lasted from October 28th 1929 to the summer of 1932…
That is until you consider the total lost since inauguration day, which is one third to half the US GDP…
“I’m so glad things are going back to the way they should be!” -my hyper-republican boomer coworker, this afternoon
Repeat article and post title doesn’t match.
“Musk claimed knowledge of a suspect accused of stealing 400,000 social security numbers…”

What a disgrace.
Just FYI, there are a number of controllers out there for people who only have the use of one hand that are relatively cheap. I don’t always have the use of both hands, and I can definitely say that it’s possible to learn to use regular controllers effectively one handed as well. Both the Logitech F710 and the 8Bitdo Pro 2 work really well in my opinion. People have laughed at me, but the 8bitdo Zero 2 surprisingly works really well too, but is much more limited for inputs and thus, more suited to retro games.
If this isn’t already illegal, it should be…
What pisses me off is that search algorithms are so broken now that if I do a search on the legality of petition bribery, all I get is more news articles about Musk bribing people! Which, I guess, is pretty telling in and of itself…
There’s “Tip of my joystick” on .ml, but it’s not very active. However, you’re already here, may as well ask.
Anticipating the unveiling of the new American flag any moment now…
Actually seems very plausible… Wish I was even joking when I say that.
The members of the American nazi movement didn’t just stop being nazis because the group disbanded during the war. No, they just went on with their lives, had kids, raised them on Nazi beliefs… And now… here we are…
And I know just who they’re gonna get to take it back!
Heavy metal exposure
Sugar
The proliferation of food additives being used that are known to dramatically lower IQ
The gelding of our education system by morons who favor religious dogma over scientific fact
Criminally underfunded schools thanks to political leaders who see investing in future generations as budget waste
Failure to teach children critical thinking skills before exposing them to technology that makes it simpler for them
Being constantly bombarded and overstimulated every waking moment by media
Being chronically overworked and underrested
Climate change
Take your pick. The answer is “probably, yes.”
The stupid part is the biggest factor, the rest just wears you down until you’re like “Okay… Just do whatever so I can get out of this.”
Hope you get better soon!
What better way to control the masses than have them all fat, exhausted, stupid, and sick?
Yeah… You totally can’t trust a vaccine with 97% efficacy and a negligible mortality rate that’s existed for over 80 years versus an extremely infectious virus with a 40% mortality rate and no effective treatment or cure… If only there were extensive scientific studies on these things that were easily and freely accessible to the public! Why do we have to live in such a dark and uninformed time!?
The stock market is crashing. The price of food is skyrocketing. I just paid about 40¢ more for gas than what it was pre-inauguration. When I go shopping for work Sunday, it’s going to cost over $400-500 to supply the house when just a couple years ago, it’s was about $250.
This guy thinks we “might” be in a recession? I’m pretty sure that’s rich people speak for “Oh no! This is starting to affect us! That wasn’t part of the deal!”
