Good thing the system already selects for people that can pass polygraphs without much issue.
It is also junk technology.

Today, the Mexican Government introduced its new chocolate bar, priced at less than $1USD. Made of 50% cocoa, powdered milk, vanilla. No refined sugar, no artificial flavourings. in c/[email protected]

Not objecting, but what is the motivation of the Mexican government to do this? Have they done similar things before?

One way money transfers, controlling people's time and career aspirations, dividing families, rape, and murder.

Not all "Influencers", but some notable cases.

Los Angeles paid $400M+ in 4 years to people hurt/killed on the streets. LA spends more money paying off people injured or killed by its street designs than it spends making streets safer. in c/[email protected]

Interestingly, not a video about police brutality, but about known unsafe roads.

Regressives do be link that.

‘An uphill battle’: why are midlife men struggling to make – and keep – friends? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

To counterbalance the "woe is me" (which is a perfectly valid life experience, and I do not mean to diminish it). I am posting so that people with no life experience do not think the "woe is me" is the only experience.

Decent adult straight men exist. We are just busy with family, careers and volunteering. One will not meet us in a bar as we, collectively, don't have time for that. Volunteer for a cause one supports, and one will meet people one likes more.

As an aside, do men have the same issues as women in meeting "good" men? And is our collective taste in men rubbish? Is it something "we" are all watching on TV?

Edit: Really great article by the way. It is long with lots of examples and personal stories from men around the USA.

Ballot actions do nothing if Regressives are elected.

Ballot actions AND Progressives!

That's when Americans realized what this was and the 2nd amendment people proved themselves to be right all along. Jk. in c/[email protected]

Is this CGI, or did it really happen?

For those wondering, the women seem to be people that accused Bill Clinton of rape.

When it comes to rape, "the cleanest dirty shirt" does not apply.

Maybe the President, Congress, and law enforcement should all be held to a higher standard?

Why don't we cook on car engines? (midwest.social)
 

In the 1970's and 1980's there were several books the either had characters that did it or promoted it.

Why is there no cooking tray in my new car's engine bay?

Is it dangerous? (It would be less physically dangerous if there was a specific spot for it.)

Progress on MN House Recall? (midwest.social)
 

With the Minnesota House now working, is the effort to gave recall elections of all Minnesota House Democrats still going?

Has anyone seen efforts to gather signatures?

Costco, Citi, and Plaid (midwest.social)
 

I am super creeped out that Plaid wants my bank login do Citi will direct deposit my Costco Reward.

How are you all handling this?

New bank just for deposit?

Reward to Costco to get cash?

Just give Plaid access to all your details?

Goblin - What are actual uses? (spritely.institute)
 

I am a jr. Dev, but not imaginative. I find most programming languages to be poorly advertised and explained. Usually they assume too much knowledge.

What would I use Web Assembly, like Goblin (https://spritely.institute/), for? Are there examples of Web Assembly programs?

It is for web pages, or online games? Can they be run offline?

How to filter words? (midwest.social)
 

Hello,

Where is the menu for adding filtered words? I had found the word filter before, but now I cannot. "Bans and Filters" looks like the right place, but I cannot add words.

Thanks in advance!

The Meaning of Life (midwest.social)
 

As an Atheist, I am often puzzled by the theist view that the Meaning of Life comes only from God. It seems very narrow, bleak, and heavy handed.

Do you find value in discussion of the Meaning of Life?
What do you think the meaning is?
What value do you think knowing the Meaning of Life brings?

How many Nintendo Switches do I need for a family of gamers? (midwest.social)
 

I don't understand the Nintendo Switch. How many do I need for a family of gamers?

They are a personal device like a gameboy.
There is a TV version for party games.
The games may or may not be shareable, even with the physical games.
Assume the ideal usage is during screen time on a weekend.

I have been avoiding buying one as I don't understand them. Thinking of getting them soon.

I assume one OLED for the family and then a portable per person, then one copy of each game per device.

How is this affordable?

Feasibility of assembling car from parts? (midwest.social)
 

I like a certain unremarkable car from the recent past. As they are repairable currently, can one just buy all of the parts new and put it together?

Are there any parts that aren't sold new?

Have you done this?
Are there any tools to help one get all of the parts?
Any communities?

The Mighty Ducks (midwest.social)
 

"The Mighty Ducks" did a good job featuring Minnesota. "D2" did a shit job. Even called Minneapolis a "po dunk town". I think the writers had nit watched the first movies.
