Completely baffling why you're being downvoted. This is a perfect application of chatgpt.

The first time I listened to sour, I pointed at the fence and said it's getting debut album at the Grammys. Such a talent, and such a shame she's been slowed by the absolute shambles of the state of music lawsuits are today.

Homeschoolers: the silent welfare queens

I saw a TikTok the other day of someone explaining that the filament dryers really aren't all that great at getting it dry. Ultimately he explained that food dehydrators are the way to go.

I'm so happy to see actual consequences for these terrorists.

It's $25/mo for family. I hate that I pay for it, but I use music, and I mostly watch YouTube on a streaming device, so I've never been able to use ad blockers. $15 for the fam felt worth it, but $25 has me rethinking. Maybe I can configure YT-DL to get the shows I care about on my Plex

For the layperson, what does arraignment consist of?

If you want to complain about the toxicity of sensational headlines, I don't think many people would disagree. But it's two posts in a row you've claimed untrue things about the article without having clearly read and digested it. Maybe you should consider why you're so quick to assume it's "propaganda" and rush to prove yourself correct.

Read the three lines right above that quote. Those are the experts.

Adrienne McCarthy, a researcher at Kansas State University, told the Guardian why this is particularly troubling.

“It’s propaganda 101,” she said. “Equating people concerned about climate change with Nazis can have long-term impacts on young, impressionable people. The beliefs PragerU are pushing forward overlap with far-right extremist beliefs. The fear is that they will bring this sort of extremist beliefs into mainstream society.”

In a piece for Mother Jones, principal climate scientist at the Union of Concerned Scientists Kristina Dahl annotated the transcript of one of these videos, demonstrating how the visuals and script are trying to convince the viewer to ignore the findings of scientific research.
