I find it crazy I can watch videos on social media of people dying(plane crash, takeoff being shot, etc) but call someone dumb and you get banned or suspended.

Kinda crazy

Think of it like all of those videos are just news reporting. You can't change anything that happened in the video. You're just witnessing life that already happened.

But you deciding to attack someone else online is you making a choice to do something in the now. What you're doing can be stopped or paused temporarily by the people who own the social media company.

Maybe over simplified but that's how it makes sense to me. Not that I think those two things are directly comparable.

thats it in a nutshell.
I would add the most sites have rules that must be accepted by the individual prior to participating. Like here.

Yeah thats my thought process as well. One is a personal choice and one is an event that happened. Just feels like some content should and can be taken down.

Yea there's definitely a line where it goes from "news reporting" to exploitation or promoting the content to encourage more negative events. It all comes down to what the hosting company decides with their content moderation policy.

But that's a whole other conversation.
 
Is Gatorade an option? I can drink the blue or red...

Forty years ago when I was in High School, they had Gatoraid Gum. I just liked it because it was sour. I'm strange.

Anyway, I'm sure they are many products that deliver electrolytes, etc. without crap in them. I'm lazy but I'll look into it.

Why would they be flying that near an airshow?

They were in the airshow. At least, that's my assumption.
 
Started interior Christmas decorating yesterday, favorite time of year. Trying to put enough pesos together to fly the boy out for our first visit with him since Covid but man those flight costs are killing me

Yes, but even so, there must be a less gag inducing way to inbibe electrolytes.
Gatorlyte!

I recently tried some weird Monster Energy electrolyte drink too. No sugar. A little more caffeine than a 20oz Coke. A metric ton of electrolytes. I drank a Gatorlyte and that Monster drink the last time i played paintball and felt great. Played almost 6 hours, temps 65-70ish, sweating my nads off the entire time. The drinks did their job

I forgot to mention a relatively new product, CELSIUS® Fitness Drinks – Essential Energy for An Active Lifestyle

A friend turned me on to it when I worked at CVS on Newbury Street. Good stuff. No crap in it.
 
im Wearing my methbear hat and the tsa agen immediately goes ”did you go to the game last night?” I was super excited bc the only thing on the hat is methbear.

Also, get tsa precheck even if you don’t fly often. So worth it.

"Methbear"? I'm afraid to ask why someone would call it that.

This?
