Someone's triggered, X is totally tilted to the right now just look at your daily feed emails, I've gotten a huge influx of random right-wing nut jobs who I don't even follow, view, or care about but for some reason, it's being pushed clear as day.

And tilting to the right is in no way getting us closer to the middle given the current politics, agenda, and direction of the right, I think you should rethink that statement.

My question would be why not hackintosh? easy to build these days, more customizable and able to get even better performance than Apple silicon...

I used to work at Lexis Nexis and I agree since I could see first hand how much personal data and information they have on individuals.

They also used theworknumber funny enough for any "employment verification" etc, pretty sure they have a partnership.

$2 Trillion or so, also we have to admit the failure was the US changing its role there from hunting Bin Laden and the Taliban to "Nation building" with an obviously corrupt Govt that has always been there.

It shouldn't be a surprise since you need a society that wants to actually break from the same continued cycle, unfortunately Afghanistan isn't it due to many reasons.

I think the problem the US did was we announced we were leaving prior to doing any of that necessary work before we even announced or started to leave.

In hindsight I'm not sure why but it felt liked it was indeed a rushed effort, obviously started by the Trump admin and now Biden's admin, either way I think everyone is tired of the situation in general since it's not a society or place anyone will ever change unless we decide to stay there for a few centuries.

Because that wasn't the truth from whoever was pushing, probably to paint a prettier picture than the true reality.

The "US Afghanistan" govt has collapsed and the Taliban are the new chiefs in town.

>Why does the United States allow anyone to vote without identification is a shocking question to be asking in 2021.

I feel this is a huge misconception, everyone has to identify for the most part to get your voter registration card for example, so to claim we are allowing votes without identification is false.

Voter registration usually also includes your signature which is verified on all ballots mailed or otherwise.

For example last year I had to verify that my ballot was actually coming from me since they questioned my signature as it was an old signature I used. I sent in the proper documents to update said signature and prove I am who I said I was and it was done and over with.

I have not personally had any issues with it at all via upgrading, mainly 2 Macbook Pros, 1 2018 ed and 1 2015 ed so not sure if maybe it's has more to do with hardware compatibility issues some are experiencing which doesn't doesn't help your confidence level of Apple and future releases but I'm sure there can be fixes and lessons learned.

Most likely not, we're in the midst of one of the vast insect extinction events in man's history sadly.

Part of thinking for yourself is not to disregard the obvious disinformation campaigns Russia has been a part of, along the same lines of the Republican party as well.

Don't broadly accuse the media of disinformation when there's much more evidence to show certain actors have pushed disinformation/misinformation than to just lump them all into one, if you want to go after any media org how about Fox News aka the Rupert Murdoch scam.

May I ask what you guys are using?

I've seen the freestyle libre but it still seems like a costly option that most probably couldn't afford.

In my opinion the problem has to do really with the validity of the content being pushed around on social media as it's too easy to outright lie or post misinformation, if lies and misinformation go unchecked then how does factually correct information ever get across...

At this point we might as well all quit Facebook if you haven't already especially with them denying to take any responsibility when they've practically created and allowed for the situation we have now.
