He's not, but if you're a gallon of gasoline, the remotest spark can seem like a huge threat to your very existence, which is what I took the overreaction to the memo to be. He spoke his mind, with citations, and he was torched for it, and the left wing outlets except for Joe Rogan and Dave Rubin had no interest in letting his real story come out, because the overreaction, the firing and the ongoing assault on his character is shameful if you ask me.

I've heard from (a random Youtube video) that opiates mimic/activate some of the same brain circuits as pleasant socializing.

I've read the "journalists lean left, owners lean right" mantra many, many of times over the last 10 years on various boards, yet the overwhelming majority of network news and shows, cable news and entertainment shows dump on Republicans/Conservatism and fawn over Democrats/Liberalism. IMO, it's a very misleading idea meant to deceive people into thinking their sources of news or entertainment are somehow more honest than they actually are.

Would anyone know why a small purchase from Coinbase would still be pending two full weeks or more after funds had left my checking account? Their support isn't too helpful. I've made other successful buys and sells, but one transaction is just stuck pending it seems and they're not being very helpful.

Turn on virtually any television station, cable channel, read a newspaper, search for political topics on Google and you're going to be absolutely flooded with left-wing messaging to the tune of 10 to 1 vs right-wing.

>An analyst who attended the meeting at the CDC in Atlanta told The Washington Post that instead of “evidence-based” or “science-based,” policy analysts are instructed to use the phrase, “CDC bases its recommendations on science in consideration with community standards and wishes.”

Sounds like a quibble over form, it's not like they're removing the science itself.

Let's please focus on breaking up ISP Monopolies, NN-like effects would be achieved, and much more, by doing so.

I have a linked bank account. Can you elaborate please, how could I have possibly made them "angry" at me for buying Litecoins?

No my account was opened over 3 months ago with a verified phone number.

My account is over 3 months old. They took my money and successfully gave me my tiny bit of ETH and BTC, but for some reason my litecoin transaction is stuck in the ether.

Well now I'm worried. I also bought a tiny amount of ETH and BTC which is still in my account but I'm really worried about getting the funds out, even if it's just a refund of my original USD.

Did you end up getting your coins from Coinbase?

Coinbase should solve it's coinbase trust issue. I bought a small amount of litecoin almost 2 weeks ago, i'm well past my "delivery by" date, my funds left my bank account over 10 days ago, yet I still don't have my coins in my account.

I wish all our energy being spent on NN would go towards breaking ISP monopolies, it would achieve the same goals of NN including better services, cheaper prices.

That's a great question, one that I wish all this energy would go into addressing.
