That's called theft. Legally a gift is irrevocable once it's given.

We'll see. Gen Z - show us up in our dumb old faces. Are zoomers just the new boomers?

(What other phrases can i use to goad more zoomers into actually going to the voting booth?)

It's not just you, neurotypicals on the receiving end of that hate it too. Everyone gets told that garbage line once in a while. It's always said by someone on a power trip, they're trying to put you down into a place beneath them

Whether or not this poll is real doesn't matter. The reality is that this election is literally a 50-50 coin toss right now, so you have to do everything you can to help Harris win!!! Volunteer to make calls, speak to your friends and family and make sure they have a specific plan to go vote, offer car rides or baby sitting to help people actually get to the voting booth, - whatever you can think of doing!!!

Getting a ticket for driving unsafely around others, while on a public road provided by the government for the people to use to get where they want to go... yes, surely this is authoritarianism /s

Yeah the sticker sentence especially. That's essentially the same as saying that the kid got the shot. HIPAA doesn't say "it's ok to reveal private health information as long as you do it in a wink-wink manner." Revealing personally identifiable health information is forbidden no matter how you do it.

Seriously!! People have to stop thinking this is in the bag, because it very VERY is NOT!

Mastodon isn't a straight replacement for twitter, bluesky is.

Oh, so it really IS intentional fantasy and not something a flat earther came up with

iirc they ran out of money and weren't even able to make it look the way they intended. Like they planned for it to have a 5th face or wanted to do full bodies or something like that but they couldn't get it done

And iirc he died full of regret that he eroded the world's intelligence and culture

Yeah the things that the elders say sound like typical narcissist parent quotes. "[My kids abandoned me because] they said ‘Taking care of him is not our cup of tea.” That's sounds extremely unlikely. I would guess you didn't want to hear the very justified exact reasons why they didn't want you in their life anymore.
