  • Amazon is cracking down on illegal streaming on its Fire TV Stick

    Jump

  • It doesn’t sound like they are saying the are going to block sideloading, just sideloading stuff like Kodi that are often used for illegal streaming

  • What are some happy moments of your childhood? Have you ever felt that happy again in adulthood? Ever tried "re-living" that moment later?

    Jump

  • Ah yes, must’ve been those hard right religious values my family instilled in me that let me use drugs.

    And to be clear, you asked about adulthood happiness too. I wasn’t doing that as a kid

    People aged 25+ How often do you hang out/see friends?

    Jump

  • You mean at work?

    Oh wait, am I supposed to actually see my non-work friends? I thought we just needed to text each other

  • Dave Chappelle Criticizes Free Speech in America at Saudi Arabia Comedy Festival

    Jump

  • I don’t think anyone thought he was criticizing free speech. Yes, it’s a bad title, but it’s still hilarious to go to Saudi Arabia and pretend like they have more free speech rights

  • How do people in cities have fun without spending money at every turn?

    Jump

  • Pregame. Dive bars

  • What are your "must-watch" movies?

    Jump

  • Memento is shockingly left off most lists. Idk why it isn’t remembered as one of the best films of its decade.

    I’ve known precisely one person with this. It causes specific physical “abnormalities” and intellectual disability. I have no idea how it’s the opposite of autism

  • What concrete steps can be taken to combat misinformation on social media? This problem is hardly an issue on this platform, but it certainly is elsewhere. Do you have any ideas or suggestions?

    If COVID originated from a lab in China, do you think they should be penalized for it?

  • Are you implying there’s no evidence of COVID lol? It’s literally been analyzed and PROVEN that it was not a virus designed by man

  • The trump administration closed a million things. They’ve closed a million more in the past 6 months. Did FEMA cutbacks CAUSE the flooding in Texas? No. Did it make it worse? Sure.

  • It borders on a conspiracy. I will never stop repeating this:

    Theory 1, a conspiracy: it was designed in a lab as a bio-weapon. this is the one the GOP usually pushes

    Theory 2, plausible theory: accidental transmission to a human during a study

  • Better yet, divide into North and South California to win the Senate

  • TIL Cell phone use greater than 10 years increases the risk for acoustic neuroma and gliomas.

    Jump

  • That’s not how odds ratios (or research) work. The compares groups of cell phone users and non-cell phone users.

    With that being said, we’ve always known cell phone use has a correlation with very slightly increased cancer rates. That shouldn’t be controversial. It’s not concluding that there’s a direct cause or even, if they did cause it, that it’s from RF.

  • TIL Cell phone use greater than 10 years increases the risk for acoustic neuroma and gliomas.

    Jump

  • I always knew cancer caused people to use cell phones!

    Edit: on a serious note, the confidence interval for malignant tumors is an odds ratio of 1.2-3.4, although a quick google finds more recent studies (I.e.: not based off of 1990s cell phones) are even lower.
