Ditto for church attendance leading to longevity, but only because unhealthy people can’t make it in.
That said, I think the research on leading e a life with purpose and social connections as having better outcomes is fairly robust. Plenty of seniors kill themselves within a few years of retirement.
No, I get it, the problem the way we’ve chosen to build society, but now that it is the way it is, judges and juries are reluctant to ban someone from working and buying groceries for anything less than a prison sentence…
Like it’s pretty crazy to me that the State (USA) can seize you car if you transport drugs with it, but not if yoU literally run over a human being. People with multiple violations and triple-suspended licenses still get to keep their cars.
What’s worse is that WAY too many people have no option BUT to drive
That’s exactly why it’s treated as a right. Can’t drive?Can’t live.
Most people only know about Puerto Rican day from the episode of Seinfeld that aired exactly once before being pulled for desecrating the island’s flag.
I’m a simple man. If I see a custom ROM, I flash.

I think y’all are underestimating Pedro Pascal’s woman fanbase.
Yeah, the story of an attractive, emotionally sensitive guy raising a child alone in a harsh world is like marketing poison to women. /s
How does this cycle end? No idea really […]
October 24th, 1929 sound familiar?
The article text doesn’t mention Israel as an actor at all–only a victim.
Are we having a miscommunication of some kind? Are we reading the same article? Are you AI? Disregard this comment.
I’m honestly not sure what you’re saying. The article is doing exactly what you say it isn’t doing–given the state-based definition of “terrorist,” and I’m not assuming the reader personally knows anything.
I also don’t see that you are defending the omission of Israel’s invasion.
Beware of choosing arbitrary distinctions that support what you already believe. Here, I see people who support Israel make a distinction between state and non-state actors because it cloaks state violence and decontextualizes (and implicitly condemns as unjustified) non-state violence, while at the same time giving the reader LESS information and a skewed view–the opposite of the goal of true journalism.
For instance, I saw a great video on music theory and how some white supremacists in the West decided that contrapuntal harmony (or some shit) was the PINNACLE of intelligence. Why? Is it just a coincidence that Western Classical music does very well relative to other music in the world? Rhythmically, Indian music mops the floor with Bach. Obviously, a chauvinist Indian would pick whatever Indian music does uniquely well as the pinnacle of musical evolution.
Missing my point entirely. Good day.
I´m talking about the difference between journalism and propaganda; you don´t think it’s a little weird to come away from an article like this knowing Hezabollah is a terrorist organization according to Germany, the US, and several Sunni Arab states, but not that their country is currently being invaded with tanks?
It is kind of amusing how, “You guys are knee jerking your reactions instead of looking at the issue carefully” gets the knee jerk upvotes here.
If your goal is informing your readers, the fact that Israel is invading Lebannon is easily as important as a comically detailed explanation of how terroristy Hezbollah is.
If your goal is sanctioning violence done by state actors–a common feature of corporate media–you´d do what they did here.
The footage was published about a week ago by Hezbollah, a Lebanon-based pro-Iranian militia, which Germany, the US and several Sunni Arab states have classified as a terrorist organization.
And where’s the parenthetical comma for Israel?
Israel, the arpartheid Jewish ethnostate, has been globally condemned for its violation of human rights and massive bombings with civilian casualties, is currently invading Lebannon in an effort to expand its territory.
Voyager doesn’t let me select text 😭Back to the browser.
thanks. just tried Cross posting on that community via voyager. though now if this post gets deleted here, that’ll be a dead link? hm.
I remember all the conversations I’ve had that started with the other person saying, “Can you believe so-and-so gets paid $x million dollars for playing [sport]?!?” and ended quickly with me asking, “Can you believe the owner makes $X million dollars for doing NOTHING”?
