Was there any mass message sent out to people notifying them that the political forum was going to be hidden and how to find?
Or was it just announced in a thread in a forum that isn't visible?

When it comes to the ever present war machine, I can't tell much difference between Democrats and Republicans.
$95bil total going to fund the warS.

I can't imagine wanting to send my kid to one of these big universities. They are just places that embrace the practice of bigotry as a status symbol.
All of the pro hamas stuff going on at Yale and Columbia is something else. One of those schools told their Jewish students to go home for their own safety. Imagine!

If you were looking for a reason to hide that forum that's one thing.
My point still stands on the fact that grown ass men complained about something that they chose to click on.
I might edit out "grown ass" later because it doesn't seem to fit.
I've tried refraining from posting this, but blame it on my mercurial whims.
But it's sad that some grown ass men (or maybe just one man, who knows), who make their own choices on which threads they click on, complain about reading it.
So here's Justin hiding a whole section of threads because somebody doesn't have any impulse control, whatsoever.

It's why we don't have enough (or in some areas, none) mental institutions to begin with. Long ago the idea caught fire to just prescribe & forget in an effort to normalize mental illness.
Interestingly enough, that started being implemented right before the rise, and spike, of mass shootings. It was an overreaction to, at the time, of the deplorable practices and low funding of insane asylums.
The majority of the medical profession who advocated for the new practice of just scribing every mental patient came to regret it in hindsight. The ones still alive are ignored and sometimes shunned.
We've seen something very familiar in the reactions to covid. It was over-reaction. Look at how doctors were censored and banned for even talking about medicines outside of big pharma's realm.
Here is one of the entrances to this rabbit hole, jump!

posted by iclfan2Democrats waiving Ukraine flags around as they pass $60b more dollars in aid is quite the look. And the republicans are such losers to allow the vote to happen with 0 money for our own border.
As long as people insist on staying in their comfort zones voting for the duopoly, this is the happy horseshit that we have to put up with.
Blame the Republicans/Democrats in DC all you want, but the people who keep voting them in are also to blame.
posted by justincredibleTrying something out. I removed Politics from showing up in the main All Threads feed, so you actually have to click into the Politics forum to see these threads.
Why?
Because people have morbid curiosity and can't stop themselves?
posted by Dr Winston O'BoogieThat was a sad story. There’s been a couple of these this year. Seriously mentally disturbed individuals.
Well, to be fair, people have been conditioned to welcome mental illness in favor of embracing diversity - and more importantly - inclusion. Social media has made it a social contagion. Not sure if that can be rolled back in any meaningful way at this point.

I'm wondering just how much this will play out for the upcoming elections.
posted by HereticLol, I read about that. The last couple days have been GREAT for our two prospective "leaders". Biden with that story and Trump with some bizarre Gettysburg story where Robert E. Lee was very against fighting uphill "me boys". Combine them into one person and you might have 60% of a working brain. Might.
I've not heard either of those yet. I'll be looking them up for sure
People are still pushing Gavin Newsome for a dem presidency (replace Biden). The idea has escaped Twitter and is now being talked about and/or pushed on YouTube, Rumble and all the other social medias.
And dammit, I still hope it happens. Let the cup runneth over!

posted by brutus161Pickles are one of the easiest ways to add acidity to a sandwich. There is an actual culinary reason they are used so much.
I am aware. Maybe if places got edgy and tried a variant. Spicy pickles are awesome. Maybe bread and butter. But it's always dill.
I also think mayonnaise is tired.
