Conservatism is entirely about the laws applying differently to different people. The king is special. The nobles are a little less special. The peasants are trash. The slaves are worse. That’s the conservative world. Hierarchy. So of course they don’t want to apply rules to their chief.

They are worse than children.

I remember when 9/11 happened I wanted to know who did it, why they did it, what we would do next. Most of the adults were just freaking out and had no idea.

There’s always a chunk of people who want to be the boot. And a chunk of people who are happy to eat boots if they can be the boot sometimes.

And it also wasnt you until you suffered a personal tragedy that.made you reevaluate your stance. Because that is what it sounds like.

Generally, people change their mind from in group pressure, or trauma. That’s really it. Facts from the out-group won’t do it. Looks like a bit of trauma shook the author up here.

I dunno it seems like the Republican arguments are stupid and the left wing ones are based on facts and evidence.

A bike lane is equity. It is freedom of movement. It is accessibility for someone who cannot drive. It is independence for a 12-year-old riding to school on their own — and an hour back in their mother’s day. It is law and order, using engineering to prevent tragedy instead of reacting to it after the fact. It is Make America Healthy Again — bringing Americans outside, safely. It is economic development.

This is all stuff the left says (minus the Maha branding). The right doesn’t listen. They’re too busy marinating in their feelings.

I feel like the sentence is trying to communicate

• I have never been to Berlin
• many people have been to Berlin
• i am in the minority, having not been to Berlin.

This relies on some illusionary filling in the gaps.

I don’t think I have any subscriptions, unless you count like phone/Internet. There’s plenty of entertainment for free or cheap. check out your local library.

We’re never going to get most people to care or be willing to be a little uncomfortable, but can you imagine the impact if everyone just canceled their subscriptions all at once? Disney executives would be jumping out windows. Youtube’s office would be blood soaked.

Metaphorically paying in some other way - skip the party, but spend time together in some other way - can sustain the relationship.

I absolutely do not need this. Journaling is healthy. Take that up instead

The people making decisions at these companies, the business idiots, are too far removed from real life and real users.

They’re stupid. They’re bad at their job. They don’t deserve their money and life of comfort.

Fuck Microsoft. Don’t give them any money.

That’s a few decades put together into one list

Though APD fired Eder on July 17, prosecutors officially refused to move forward with felony stalking charges in the case.

Prosecutors are part of the problem

Did you get this from FromSoft games?

I don’t do any banking via an app. It’s only from my desktop, never my phone. If they required an app, I’d change banks.

Did most people have bad literature teachers? I’ve encountered many people who have this idea that literature has a single correct answer you have to find, rather than the more correct (and fun) mode where it can mean anything you can defend. Author’s intent is a suggestion at best.

Stop using reddit

No thank you. I’ll stick with my basic Linux and be just fine.

Generally, the fewer people driving, the better the experience is for those who do drive.

I also think it’s both.

The ones who were already stupid are more likely to use AI, because that’s a stupid decision.

But some students were probably fine, but using the AI atrophied their thinking skills.

A fine article, but maga types aren’t going to read and think about it. They just feel
