I mean sure, if half the population agrees on anything it gets a lot easier to accomplish. Good luck convincing them though

What point are you trying to make here? That we should execute people based on feels rather than law? It ain’t perfect, it’s maybe not even good, but it’s logical and can be improved upon if we decide we want to. It’s the best we got

This is another argument for having city run groceries. Can ensure that the food there isn’t complete trash and also as locally sourced as possible. Don’t even need to sue them, just put them all out of business because of their own greed. Worst case scenario they lower prices to compete.

I usually agree with this point but it does create an awkward spot for museums with a lot of international exhibits. Like, you did a colonialism, stole my peoples stuff, brought it back here, and are now charging me extra to see it? Idk how you get around that, except maybe returning the stuff I guess.

Not just that but a character that is written as glossing over important details for profit

Yeah I had a class once where the exams were always just slightly modified versions of some of the homework questions. So if you were confident you could understand and complete all the homework you knew you’d be fine on the exam. It actually caused some people to study more since they felt like there was a more 1:1 between study time and exam success.

Don’t forget the environmental impact. We’re torching our planet for nudes

Yeah the issue isn’t ‘max winning bad’ so much as ‘max winning boring’ at least from a neutrals perspective. If he pulls this one off I don’t think people will be nearly as upset/disappointed as last year

It’s weird being on this site sometimes. Not everyone speaks computer, but it turns out that doesn’t make them dumb, they’re just good at different things. Personally I have no issues doing electrical work but know I would get incredibly frustrated trying to work a Linux machine. I have no interest in learning all that noise because it straight up is not interesting to me and is not worth my time. I had my fill of that nonsense in school. I’d def be a potential customer of something like this that ‘works out of the box’ - honestly that’s the real path to getting people off windows.

I’m guessing the same reason people don’t always reroof their own house, or replace their own home electrical, or build their own bike. Sometimes it’s worth spending money to avoid doing a thing you either don’t want to or don’t know how to do. As I’ve gotten older and more financially secure that’s definitely been the case with me at least

When did op say anything about their value as a human being tied to intelligence? They said insecure about their intelligence. You just totally projected something that wasn’t there then were an ass about it.

He has a larger constituency that many governors

Mate symbols do exist. If I wear Nazi garb I can’t complain when minorities treat me suspiciously. That’s not an assumption, that’s me directly communicating my thoughts and feelings with them through my attire. Wearing message based clothing IS action. It’s telling people that you endorse the message, that you endorse the hate.

By your own definition you are maga. You show support for the message. You normalize that message. You take actions to show your support and intimidate others. That’s all action my friend.

Merkley you cowards! Doesn’t rock the boat too much but also isn’t completely bought

Do you know what power stations feed your electrical circuit? Do you know which transformers are most critical to keep you in service? Do you know who manufactured them?

Do you know where your water comes from? Which facilities treat it? How it’s treated?

Can you name your senators, house rep, state senators, state rep, and local officials?

Everyone can’t know everything. I doubt you do, but I wouldn’t call you a fucking idiot for that. I would call you a fucking idiot for being such a small-minded asshole though. You’re not the smartest person in the room, and even if you were, you still wouldn’t understand how 99% of human technology works. We’re in this together and we lean on each other. That’s the beauty and curse of being human

Umm, yes it is? When I was an intern I was making more money than I ever had in any service job. What are you on about?

Yeah turns out people were incapable of making good decisions on their own. Which is fine, unless you’re asking everyone around you to pay for it.

It gives the populous more ‘room’ to intercede. Basically, a normal person at a cafe feels they have some permission structure to stand up to ice, after all, the governor and the mayor told them to. So they aren’t rebelling, they are helping uphold the law. I think things like this actually goes a long way in moving the general public. At the very least it doesn’t hurt

Risk them getting footage of the absolute devastation more like. Nothing can be allowed in, especially cameras.

I had to make my own salsa when I lived in the UK. I couldn’t find a single one with any flavour. Granted, I lived in a city without a car so my reach was only a mile or so for groceries/eating out, but still.
