Heck I haven’t had this good a time on the internet in a while!

You guys, we should really do this more often

If you’re part of a movement that’s taking vaccines away from babies, well, you’re evil and people are going to respond to that.

We’re seeing that play out in Arkansas, as this year family farmers are either driven off their farms (some after 6 generations) or are committing suicide quickly. One of my friends knew a farmer that killed himself last night. They’re really thinking the feds are coming to save them, instead of forcing them off the land so it can be purchased by conglomerates.

Lumber’s getting affordable so they’ve drastically stopped cutting.

I already know ours is going to be awesome, and it’s going to tie into our Pride that day, which is happening just a few blocks away - they’ll all become the last float in the parade as they march. YES

And they’re not invoking article 5 of Nato which makes an attack on 1 an attack on all.

Instead, article 4, which is some navel-gazing shit about figuring out if there’s a threat.

Yeah that’s insane, you are legally allowed to make any mark and it’s a signature. But cops are above the law, so

Yeah I lived a car-free life when I lived in Seattle, working on Magnolia Hill, living on Capitol Hill. That was doable year round. The midwestern flyover states I grew up and live in, tho, no it’s not workable. In the North there’s snow for months, in the South we have monsoon season where it rains for weeks, in the summer heat index gets above 110 regularly and these people don’t plant shade trees. Plus nearest grocery stores are miles away (I live downtown in a capital city).

Even though I work a few blocks from my home, I can’t live car free here without significant ride-sharing expenses (the bus system is a joke and only runs part of the day, grocery shopping would eat an entire day of my week that way), if I did that I couldn’t go on roadtrips on weekends either, unless I rented a car - and all that is more expensive than my (20k, not 40k) car.

But I do love this community and it’s coastal approach to shaming people who rely on cars… take the tram or train, lmao

Yep that demand is never coming back. Happens when you continually fling shit at a trading partner.

They will vote for him again.

Exactly, Hitler = shuts everyone’s minds down as rhetoric. Pedophile… well that’s just true and we all know it

Came out of government-funded research actually. Back when we could still achieve scientific feats on behalf of our country.

When every activity has to have at least one round of games in between for that dopamine hit, and waking up at night for it, coming home at work for it, yeah we have a problem. And in that case, boundaries (which can come across as ultimatums) are entirely appropriate.

My FB feed is still littered with die-hard liberals espousing views we could afford to debate 15, 20 years ago. Pollution and gun rights. Every word they say is heard differently by the other side and they still don’t get it. Fascists are taking over the US and they want to figure out how to recycle better.

Antitoxin serum!? You gonna tell me what I should put in my kids bodies? Hell no! That’s communisocialism

Your brain generates the thoughts and feelings that trouble you. Where do you want the locus of control to be? Do you want to think this is crystals and horoscopes, outside factors, influencing you and causing you to be miserable? Or do you want the locus of control to be inside you, where you can be empowered to change the thoughts and feelings that trouble you?

It’s hard not to blame the victim when they’re also the perp, you need to focus on the “perp” part and not the “victim” part if you want to succeed here.

For us it begins at the grassroots. We don’t have billionaires willing to create a national organization. So form small liberal groups, and then network them together. I’m serious. I started a group for queer men last year, now I am taking over the entire progressive scene in my state by creating an overarching organization that connects over a dozen key players (ACLU, Prides, migrant and trans organizations). If we did this in every area, and then networked THEM… well shit we’d have a base of power and even fundraising capabilities. IDK what else to do.

They’ve ruled on other cases relating to the “occupation”

This is not the way life has to be. If this cartoon is you, your therapist is doing a shitty job, full stop. Find another who can actually help you develop emotional regulation and not be hostage to your own emotions.

The periodic table is predictive. From a few elements, the rest could be projected and expected, like the Higgs-Boson. The table makes no predictions for things we cannot measure and are in fact theoretical, like dark matter which lacks any empirical evidence. Would be awesome if it did because then it wouldn’t be theoretical anymore.
