Antibiotics are very cheap, even without insurance. US doctors (unlike what I experienced in Europe) don’t prescribe antibiotics left and right and only when they diagnose bacterial infection.

In Europe many doctors frequently prescribe antibiotics when coming to the doctor with cold symptoms.

This was debate during trump’s first term. While originally I was for preserving Section 230, after thinking about it, I’m starting to have doubts if it serves is well though.

It originally was created when there were forums, Usenet etc run by hobbyists. And it was a non brainier. It was needed, but after 30 years corporations came and basically built their media empires (Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, Instagram, TikTok etc) on a law that removes any accountability from them unlike traditional media. They don’t produce content but they control algorithms that decide content that you see.

The section 230 at this point is obsolete and perhaps needs to go and maybe be replaced with a better law.

Sadly I don’t expect a good alternative coming from the upcoming administration.

Why are we accepting reporting on tweets as a journalism?

Yeah MAGA reacted to the 60 minutes, but so what? One can find similar reactions on any topic, there’s nothing new that we learn by reading this. It just manufacturers outrage on the other side.

They were actually threatening to do it.

Finally some good news.

You hope he is just being clever and indirectly talking about legalizing cannabis, but you know that in reality he is just so incompetent that he has no idea what he is talking about.

Oh we will, question is if they will be more like in Russia.

Aren’t criminals already being deported if they are caught? He was clear that he is after immigrants (in some speeches illegal, but in some even legal)

First, watched? I have several dozen questions…

Saw != Watched, could have been for example seeing them going into a bedroom at a party. You don’t see the act, but you kind of know b what is happening.

Second…you didn’t immediately call the police to report a child was being raped?

She was 17, not 7, if you were in that situation would you call, especially that you don’t know the age?

Also the witnesses is pointing that she saw those two having sex, not that she knew her bio at the time.

Well … whatever you call it, the inflation did slow down to 2.7%

No one before him was able to stop it.

He does look like Frodo on meth, lol, but still props that his economical plan that was perceived by many as crazy seem to be working so far.

Speaking of inefficiency… https://youtube.com/shorts/l5woagC47NM

The problem is that people switched to get their news from social media, and our adversaries are using that towards their advantage.

Assuming it is already a done deal is the worst thing we can do: https://youtu.be/QfQ9dwXFhbM

Seems like you’re arguing for the sake of arguing.

Trump is a pseudopopulists, he fools people into thinking he is fighting for them while fighting for himself.

We need real populists, that go after people’s needs, not pseudopopulists like in GOP.

Yeah, there are games where side quests are just cookie cutter and all look the same and there are ones, where you won’t get full experience of the game unless you also do side quests and they can even affect game ending. Witcher 3 was such experience for me. If I would just storm through main quest, ignoring side quests I don’t think the game would leave as much of a lasting impression as it did.

The far right populism is a pseudo populism. Real populists are (as name suggests) for the people.
