Honestly, most effective tactic I've found is to go in to the GP at opening time. The receptionists talk to you before answering the next phone call.

Not ethical but :/

I would buy a pair of these, they look awesome.

I'm not sure I'd agree with that generalisation.

Is that why you personally worry about something?

[–] Risk@feddit.uk 3 points 2 years ago

A little bit of both, apparently.

If this is correct, then it started out as a word for private citizen and then evolved in Greek to mean ignorant.

Then in the 19th Century was coined as a medical term.

Aren't 'stupid' and 'idiot' just even older versions of 'retarded' and all describe people with developmental and/or learning disabilities?

Probably more effective than any of the suggestions so far:

Make sure you are well hydrated and do some exercise or at the very least a long or high-energy walk.

Why not Firefox? That plus uBlock Origin = pleasant browsing.

Search Engine wise - I use a mixture depending on what kind of thing I'm after. Need to try out SearxNG though.

But the end result is the platform influences voters leading to election of those or similar individuals.

That's not really true, unfortunately. People don't need to be in an elected position to be given a platform by media.

So, the societal problem is created when bad faith actors are given a platform, right? But bad faith actors tend to be great at generating outrage and division and thus drive engagement and clicks - which makes money for the platforms.

How do we solve this?

It's a meme ffs.

Depends whether you're parents/family have made the magic of Christmas or the presents the focus. My kids certainly would care; I did too.
