I’m glad they’re trying to do something about that bs. The sorts of people worming into election boards scare me even more than the election itself. They believe conspiracy theories so easily.

Misogyny isn’t just a man thing! Women participate it in (against the “bad” ones) all the time.
It’s so easy to just look up a picture of harris’ dad.
I thought the bullshit right wing argument was that she only brought up that part of her background for political points, not the even more ludicrous argument that a black man from jamaica is actually white.
I wonder if the title reads better in japanese
Clearly, the hole was just from the same cat pawing the door for hundreds of years.
I get it! A friend adopted an overweight dog once, whose previous owners let free feed on cat food. Getting her to a healthy weight took a while, and everyone wants to share pet pics.
How do you propose we go about changing this? How do we effectively encourage it?
I think that purely logical thought is impossible, and believing we are a logical person can lead us to assume all our opinions are logical, inherently. Which leads to using after the fact logic to justify initial gut reactions. Is that what you mean by wisdom? The ability to understand your own emotional reaction and decide if it’s based on anything useful? Or is it something else?
I think, at this point in time, celebrity culture is important to be aware of. Trump was a reality tv star, after all. I think a better world could be made if society didn’t care about celebrities, but that is not where we live, and observing reality seems an important step to understanding it. And understanding it can help us determine if there is a way to alter this. If that’s the goal. Is that the purpose to your questions?
After he[r] reinvention as a conservative Catholic activist, she drew criticism in 2001 after saying on a television talkshow that the high rate of Aids in Africa was due, not to a lack of safe sex, but because “the Blacks like to copulate a lot”. She later tried to amend her remarks, saying Africans had a lot of sex due to the continent’s hot climate.
Wow!
Thanks for linking to that! Interesting. I refreshed their page and they have more to say now that it’s happened.
I can’t say I’ve ever really liked a controller, so I never experimented with fancy ones. The one that was the most fine was the ps controller. the joycon was ok until drift kicked in. The xbox controller made my hands hurt after too long. I think if I’d had more xbox games back then I would have gotten more into controllers to find one for my tiny hands. I mostly prefer a keyboard.
An old lady I worked for with dementia got scammed on facebook by people who sound like this. I was inclined to hate the scammers for targeting the disabled, but, holy shit. Those poor people.
People should do what they think is best, based on their own situation (region, district, needs, etc) and beliefs(what they think should happen, what they can ethically stand, etc). In this election, I think Trump is a dangerous (personally and politically) and incompetent enough figure that conservative people should deliberately throw the election to force their party in a different direction.
My personal belief is that government is a tool, and my vote will go to the person who seems most likely to enact policy that aligns with my values.
I think everyone who was going to vote for trump but is feeling doubt should pick a third party candidate to vote for instead.
https://www.axios.com/2024/08/19/biden-dnc-speech-harris I read the article and the linked axios article, and I’m still not sure there was any value to them. Maybe he is still pissed, and he’s talking about it with his pals, but if he doesn’t do anything with them, he’s entitled to feel what he wants. He laughed when he heard a friend defended him. Cool!
The “enemy,” to people like him, are always both pathetic jokes and a horrific threat that needs to be eliminated.
edit: oops someone already said what i did
Yeah, I’ll never know their hearts and minds, so it doesn’t really matter compared to their actions.
I don’t mind giving them an out, personally, if they need a way to pretend they’re not shitty, amoral people (i was tricked! gosh! I would never parrot obvious lies for my own advantage! I was naive!) to resolve cognitive dissonance and stop being shitty in this way. I don’t blame anyone else for not giving that to them.
They don’t deserve it.
