"This might not be a groundbreaking hot take, but i think that applying for disability status/benefits is intentionally made to be a convoluted mess of bureaucratic jargon and endless hoops to jump through SOLELY so that disabled people don’t take advantage of them, either because they give up trying to navigate an intentionally confusing system, or because they make a mistake along the way, and the process gets f@#ked up. I’m really lucky I had my mom helping me with a lot of the paperwork because otherwise I would never be able to get the supports I need in post secondary. It’s like someone purposefully designed the process to be as unobtainable, messy, and overwhelmingly complex for a disabled person as they possibly could."

#4 is a cospiracy theory? This is a scientific theory. The only comforting thing is that the aliens do not have, probably, a similar site there

Cameron,
There's certainly other life out there, but it's just too far away. The technology to travel between stars is like to simply not exist. Either that or we're in a simulation. Ooooooo...

Laugh now "normies", when you learn the truth you will lose your minds but we will be here to help you through it. Everything you think you know is a lie.

#1 is actually very true, to a certain extent. I wouldn't say they intentionally stir fear and anger per se, but it's called sensationalism and it absolutely is intended to sell papers. Well, not "papers" so much anymore, but you get the idea.

Things like #17 and #18 ring true. I don't know about bic or tp, but "shrinkflation" is a real thing. Products portions get smaller and prices either stay the same or go up. Candy bars are smaller, shampoo and detergent bottles are smaller, and many other things as well. Often the package is specifically designed to look like it holds more than it actually does. Look it up.

Totally agree. Look at chocolate bars that have whipped air in them like Nestle Aero bars get away with selling you way less chocolate at the same price as a solid bar. And the advertisement makes it sound like a great deal!

#5 The opposite may actually be true: reaching senior ranks (officer & enlisted) essentially requires an advanced degree, such as a master's. Many new enlistees already have a bachelor's or technical certs, and those who don't are encouraged to get them.

Lol like most all of these are facts. #22 for instance, it's called a federal grant. working for a Uni you might be surprised at what faculty do for money from the NIH, FDA, NSF etc.
