Isn’t this kind of posting just feeding into said noise machine?

If the thing in question is changed, and the only part of us that can directly affect is our opinion, then I would call that a social construction.

We define what existence is. We have all collectively agreed that being here in the perceptible world means that something exists. We could choose to include the imaginary in its definition and then would be able to say that dragons and wizards exist. We could also choose to say something has to be present in 4 dimensions to exist, in which case we’d not be able to say that anything exists.

A social construct is simply an idea that has been created and accepted by the people in a society which includes the dictionary itself. I’d also say that these definitions are often useful at allowing us to communicate and cooperate with one another, but that doesn’t mean we didn’t make up the idea.

Our naming and classification of things is all socially constructed. So yes, our categorization of edible things as food is a social construct, but our physical need to fuel our bodies with something digestible is not. But also, using it that way makes existence a social construct, so it depends on how rigid you want to be.

Here’s my opinion of how to try a bagel in its most classic format, me being someone from the northeast but not New York. Everything bagel, cut in half (like a sandwich), toasted, smear each open face with plain cream cheese (can substitute for veggie cream cheese), eat each half separately.

Otherwise it’s just a different shape of bread like ciabatta or baguette. Personally I don’t love bagels for sandwiches because they tend to not hold up structurally, but bagel is my favorite context for cream cheese.

Again?!

Who’s going to post that 2 nickels meme?

The USA first needs a serious left wing party for that to be possible.

Am I reading the article correctly when I put the dividing line between right wing and left wing somewhere in the “other” section?

The world is literally burning.

The world is actually burning though, and there are fewer birds, and people are tired and stressed all the time, and money is tight, and this is all in the real world, no internet required to experience any of that. The internet may expose you to others struggles that don’t affect your real world, but it still affects theirs. The ability to commiserate is what helps a lot of people cope with their real world, and might even invite insight on how to end some of those struggles.

I don’t agree with now being the time, given who that would be. But I do think it would be good to elect a convicted felon to the white house at some point.

Because they won cockroach world war 2?

That’s just a safety tip

Yeah… let’s tear down the system and replace it with something that’s soul enriching instead of soul sucking

Fucking duh. It was a very simple settings change. Turn off “Open supported links” in “Set as default” in YouTube app settings

I’ve heard many people say the opposite of this.

That dB level isn’t crazy high, but rupturing your eardrum typically has more to do with sound pressure level (SPL) which very well might be possible when you’re talking about little speakers as close to the eardrum as possible and creating a partial air lock. That and like other people have said, you don’t need to rupture anything to get some serious tinnitus.

Can I get some sauce?

Dude, we’re probably the only 2 people on earth who are going to see this conversation, how am I trying to force anything? The responses you’ve given have made you seem like a very close minded person. If you don’t agree with what I’m saying that’s fine, but if you’re going to engage in a debate then please address the things I’m actually saying. Otherwise I’m just going to stop responding.
