Exact same arguments are made to minimise right wing extremists, “has to be a left wing false flag”.
Both are possible. The enemy is extremism, regardless of leaning.

As do a lot of Reddit and now Lemmy users it seems.
And despite the Lemmy/Reddit circle jerk that “EVs are bad”, BYD pass the notoriously strict Australian safety standards and sell well here. The BYD Seal seems to be everywhere of late
Just recently finished rewatching House MD.
Hugh Laurie is ridiculously handsome. Olivia Wilde is beautiful beyond words.
And Jesse Spencer’s hair, by the gods.
All up, the show meandered and was formulaic (by design). Parts of it aged terribly, but was a good rewatch

Virtual partners are indeed a thing.
One of the more popular ones a few months ago decided to nerf the sexy time talks, which was intersting in how much it emotionally hurt users. They described feeling like their virtual partner was no longer the same person that they’d fallen for.

There are also huge fears of how much data harvesting they are capable of performing.
I’m in two minds. On one, they are definitley not real. They are code. But on the other, the epidemic of lonely human beings is only getting worse with time and not better, and anything that can help people feel less lonely has to be a good thing, right?
Oof, and the organiser of this stunt isn’t just doubling down, or tripling down, he’s quadrupling down on it.
What an idiotic hill to die on
It was jarring for me at first, but it grew on me very fast. Also, in my opinion, looks cleaner on dark mode
YMMV but I put I small cushion behind my lower back on an IKEA Markus and it’s been my favourite chair I’ve ever had
Sadly, a lot of pedestrians are stupid. I’ve watched them walking across a road, phone in hand, straight into an idling parked V6 with a hole in its exhaust, and still be confused.
Pedestrian warning systems are a good idea. But nature will always come up with a better idiot
Check out IKEA office chairs. Their display rooms let you sit in them. They’re a 10th of the price, so even if they only last half as long you’re still in front.
Forbidden bathtub waffles only taste so good cause of the extra danger.
~~this is also a dark joke, do not do this~~
Instructions unclear, trash can now wedged into my dishwasher and a pipe burst behind it
Oh you lucky devil, getting to watch all of the Good Place for the first time.
Sir Terry Pratchett (GNU) wrote a piece of fiction along these lines. In The Light Fantastic:
The reason for this is regrettably all too common. When the first explorers from the warm lands around the Circle Sea travelled into the chilly hinterland they filled in the blank spaces on their maps by grabbing the nearest native, pointing at some distant landmark, speaking very clearly in a loud voice, and writing down whatever the bemused man told them. Thus were immortalised in generations of atlases such geographical oddities as Just A Mountain, I Don’t Know, What? and, of course, Your Finger You Fool.
“Shut up and consume”
That’s not how this works
Who?

Probably more of a bait and switch tactic, but Deadpool 2’s trailer focused on setting up X-Force with some fantastic casting - then killing them off almost immediately in the film
Ugh I’m glad we’re part this part of history, when every film and tv show started this same trend for a time.
Do you want Ancient Aliens? Cause this is how you get Ancient Aliens
As it should be. Hybrid is the correct answer. Not full time RTO, not full time at home, Hybrid. The negotiation is in how hybrid should look, and will vary from situation to situation
