23% of Proud Boys and 30% of militia supporters said that violence (which we defined as “physical force strong enough that it could cause pain or injury to a person”) was usually or always justified ‘to stop people who do not share my beliefs from voting’”

How absolutely un-American.

If you don’t understand that anyone you have a conversation with can and will tell other people then I don’t know how you tie your shoes.

I’m using Voyager for Lemmy which doesn’t have ads or in app purchases.

They should just reach out to him on Cameo and offer him $100 to read a sentence acknowledging receipt of the notice, it’s a flawless plan.

My wife had an otherwise completely heathy and normal pregnancy that ended in an “unexplainable” premature birth at 25 weeks 4 days gestation, resulting in a baby born at 930 grams who stayed in the NICU for 100 days and now at 22 months she is reaching or exceeding the health benchmarks for full-term babies her age. The power of modern medicine grows every year. It has come a very long way even in the past 10. The doctors told us there was absolutely nothing we could’ve done differently and I certainly hope my child doesn’t come to me in 20 years and tell me that they’d rather we just gave up.

Oh awesome. Then you’re also going to charge the parents if their kid shoots up a school too, right? Right Tennessee?

“Off yourself by X date and your designated beneficiary will receive a payout equal to 5% of the expected healthcare costs of managing your condition until your inevitable agonizing death! Act now and we’ll throw in an additional funeral package at no cost!”

These were clearly all done by either children or by adults who never learned to moderate their use of force. All gas no brakes. Zero sense of finesse.

I love that the picture shows the man using the ASL sign for Help. Nice touch.

I’m no fan of CCP policy or propaganda but the headline could also be “Non-peer reviewed institute publishes study making dubious claims by comparing one social media platform to another that likely has its own biases that are just as strong”
