We rent a small place on an old farm that still has a little orchard that's fenced off from the deer. We throw fruit over the fence all year.

If it is, they don't make it obvious anywhere

No, but only the person can really do anything about it. Also in some cases it's perfectly legal, like if you use a photo that's in the public domain. I think any official government photos/paintings would be considered public domain. Satire and parody of political figures are protected by the 1st amendment, so caricatures are probably always legal. Really tho what politician is gonna be mad about this? Free publicity and all

Do you actually think the Biden admin caused inflation (and the non-inflation increases as well) and that voting for trump will reduce inflation or is this a bit pretending to be the average US voter?

I wonder what it is about Eminem that's different? 🤔

It's not like Epic set the terms, so not really hypocritical of them. That's to keep Google from immediately capturing the market again, though. Otherwise they would just spend enough money to make all the top apps exclusives and that would prevent competition from forming (in an ideal setting, none of this shit will really matter it's just gonna end up being Google, epic, and maybe 2 more that will end up being about the same as just having Google)

The neat part of this is that they're requiring Google to give up their library of apps to other stores and won't allow them to buy up exclusives for at least 3 years. I suspect we will see a lot of scam app stores really soon, though.

I thought it had been months, but it's been very close to two years now. He took over Oct 27th, 2022.

These are actually distinct concepts within psychology. Related, but definitely different things and based on research spanning decades. Not all of it is great research and it wouldn't surprise me if some of these concepts are flat out incorrect, but they definitely aren't the same thing.

Each one focuses on group behaviors, but different group behaviors and the proposed outcome of those behaviors are also different.

The real mistake being made here is trying to condense these concepts into a couple of sentences and pass it off as useful information when most of it is based on research from 50+ years ago. It's only really useful when you can use this as part of a much larger understanding of how being in a group setting changes individual behavior

It's been decades now and I don't really remember, but I've since read it properly and yeah I have no idea how I even did it. I was really just learning to read at that point, so my guess is that I could read without comprehending because it was normal for me then
