Sure, if it’s a nonessential business.

In left-leaning spaces it means “cognizant of the injustice pervading society”. On the right it means “uppity”.

Yes please performance class tiered licensing.

Too many M states, shoulda diversified.

The core voters are lost forever. Fuck them, don’t think about what they’re going to do.

Cool, is there room for one hundred million Americans in your vocational school?

There’s so much more to it, but the short version is that a huge portion of this country doesn’t consider atheists trustworthy or even properly “American”. God is on our money, the bible is used for official government ceremony, most of our public holidays are Christian, the word holiday and tons of others are explicitly rooted in religious culture. In-n-Out has a little bible passage on their cups.

Being openly atheist is a radical position in this country, one that will limit you professionally and socially.

I would like to normalize non-belief though.

Remote start of any kind is a luxury and it’s wild to me that someone would defend internet car controls as any way important or even desirable. That’s what I’m talking about. Physical keys work totally fine and add like two seconds of time to the process.

It’s a good thing we invented remote start at the same time as the car itself, I can’t imagine the horror of only operating a motor vehicle I’m next to (let alone touching)

Why stop there?

They have to believe in meritocracy, that wealth isn’t intrinsically tied to exploitation and a long history of classism.

I live on top of a hill that drains directly into the ocean. If my house floods I have different problems.

I also won’t live on the side of hills without a very clear understanding of the local watershed, soil stability, nearby land rights… I took a lot of Earth science classes and honestly it’s kinda traumatizing to peek behind the curtain. Shit is fucked.

We don’t respect rivers enough. I would never live in a floodplain.

Some of us never left.

Or. Or. And hear me out on this: participate in society.

Off power grid maybe, imagine the nightmare of urban well-digging or apartment septic tanks.

What, and take any responsibility for the Commons?

You should never expect privacy in someone else’s car.

This is what religion does to a brain.
