The sensitivity loss thing is mostly an internet myth, most studies on it show no difference with some studies reporting increased sensitivity instead

It's worth pointing out as a myth, it vastly predates the internet. The reason it's common in the USA, is because the puritans believed it would make it easier to stop kids from masturbating.

    I think it's gotten to the point where "look at this", and then proceed to fuck it up so bad that it's on the same scale as the last thing. So now there's no not completely fucked up thing to point to... and thus the only workaround is just "AI images saying things are going good".

    Gas is down, in spite of being record high.

    Inflation is down - in spite of everything.

    Everythings affordable - things are not

    Look at all we're doing with health (10th major "you will die quality recall", return of measles.

    So let’s attack Biden over his son’s medical issue while ignoring the billions that Trump’s family is making.

    I was happy to cheer for him when his greatest flaw was his severe drug addiction, and loved watching him clap at conservatives perl clutching etc... over him.

    But this meme coin grift. He's litterally burned the leg he was standing on. and it's a fricking stupid reason to do it because it's going to flop big time because.. 1. people on the left aren't as quick to jump into a ponzi grift like meme coins. 2. No one will ever imagine the biden's taking power again, and thus no millionare with half a brain is going to be investing in this coin for hte purposes of political influence.

    Don't think I've ever really watched it, but yeah his legs and arms were both enhanced, but if he were to ever do something like pick up a car or something, you'd likely expect his spine to snap unless he used some kind of leverage.

    I don't think even his worse sycophants wouldn't have thought his truth social posts were a good idea. Depicting himself as jesus etc... So I do have to kind of conclude, at the very least someone has either set up something so easy he can use it, or he's able to use it on his own already.

    Isn't the obvious problem whatever your arm lifts, the rest of your body has to support? an "arm" alone attached to a frail human body would pretty quickly hit its limits, and lifting 1000 lbs is basically giant exo skelleton level.

    logically I would think this, but then at the same time I think... say people crazy enough to want to assassinate major political figures and celebrities seem unconsionably rare. There's dozens of random killings and shootings every day. Why aren't the daily slough of school shooters going after high schools, instead of setting their sights higher on going for senators or activists they disagree with, or CEOs.

    I don’t think the attacks were US coordinated

    I think that's kind of the greatest trick when it comes to conspiracies, I feel like 80% of the time the "government did this", it's more like the government is probably better at finding out details, and... not acting. IE every pubic figure known to man, probably has 20 credible assasination plots going against them at almost all times. You don't have to twirl your moustache and hire an assasain, you just underfund the prevention group.
