What good things that Trump did promise?

Flying cars.

I’m not joking.

Bernie can’t even get a joke!

I hope you are joking.

I’m not sure I want to imagine that in this context. Other contexts, no problemo. Just not this one.

That don’t indicate shit

Yeah, Nebula is quite good. Really like Curiosity Stream too… I subscribe to both.

But alas, most channels I follow are Youtube only and not likely to change :(

But do you have a viable alternative in your back pocket?

Standard issue conservative. They only complain when it begins to affect them. If he didn’t have a farm, would he still have moved in that direction?

I’m not saying that he did, or not completely, but people are allowed to learn and change opinions. It is possible!

No thanks.

There’s a reason why people were saying he was like this for years now. Funny how it was all confirmed the instant it wasn’t completely controlled n scripted.

An assertion that is easily proven false, of course. But hey, let’s not let facts get in the way of a good yarn.

Didn’t watch the debate, huh? Its all true.

Now do more than watch the debate. Listen to Biden speak on every other recent occasion. Would you like to be judged for your worst performance or your average?

This is the better future?

Are you clothed and eat enough? Do live in a place that is basically comfortable? Do you never really fear for your safety? Do you have freedom of expression and choices and opportunities in the world?

On average, yes, it is better than the past, especially for people in North America and Europe. I could list all the reasons why, for me personally… like the fact that I’m not beaten or killed for my gender identity and that I can marry my partner who can have a successful career despite their race. But I suggest as an exercise you consider how your life would be in, say, 1924. If you can’t come up with anything, huge congrats on your privilege.

It’s easy to forget what it could be like and when we are relatively comfortable and complacent to get into the mindset of complaining that we only have a 55" TV and can’t afford to buy a house. It’s easy to forget that others don’t even have that level of comfort and that but for lucky circumstance we could be that “other”.

QED

Voting blue no matter their moral standing didn’t end up with a better future?

Actually it did. You just were in a position to not notice.

I would interpret the American Academy of Pediatricians stance as being supportive. But that’s open to interpretation, I suppose.

It’s literally cited on the HHS page about it: https://www.hhs.gov/surgeongeneral/priorities/youth-mental-health/social-media/index.html

So you acknowledge that you don’t have the skills necessary to interpret papers so… what, you decide that Nature adequately represents their findings enough to dismiss them? Even though you say there is little evidence of a causative link? Even though the surgeon general says they feel there is and cites that evidence to back it up?

I mean… what?

It’s a pity you aren’t worth responding to. Have a nice day!

Tell me you didn’t read the article without telling me.

Why would you conclude that? Because it conflicts with your “vibe”?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/False_equivalence

Do I really need to point out that you yourself are “literally just posting vibes” ?

You didn’t even bother investigating whether or not they had justified their stance with science. I’m not convinced you made it past the headline, much less read any of the content that article linked to.

The funny thing is I actually did read two of the studies I quickly found and which you too can find. But you seem more interested in adhering to a certain… vibe.

Have a nice day.

Edit: You know I was busy and totally forgot.

The very first result on my search engine, if you search for “effects of social media on children’s mental health” is the HHS.gov website, specifically this page: https://www.hhs.gov/surgeongeneral/priorities/youth-mental-health/social-media/index.html

And wouldn’t you know, right there are 5 separate papers cited to support 1. that social media is widely used; and 2 it “presents meaningful harm to youth”
