Then brace yourself for what is coming along with Project 2025... hard times are ahead for those who value Truth over Authority.

People have no attention span. It takes real effort to condense and summarize the key points to such an audience. Once intrigued though, they may continue on to read/watch/listen/learn from other sources.

Conversely, there is just too much going on in the world right now, to pay attention to every single thing that wants us to do so. Like a crowded marketplace with each seller yelling out their wares - it is the correct decision to tune most of it out while straining to listen for what you need.

Yeah like "yo mamma is so fat that..."

"Yes, I am really worried that she will die bc of her diabetes".

"yo momma is so fat... never mind. Damn bro I'm so sorry to hear that!"

Okay so what about now when it's 119? :-P

[–] OpenStars@discuss.online 1 points 1 year ago

Possibly the difference being which set of "traditional values" are being upheld. Still, this take ignores a lot of details, chiefly that the two are nowhere close to being equally so.

e.g. right now would it be fair to say that black people are roughly considered to be ~4/5ths of a person?

If so, conservatives want to return that to being perhaps 3/5ths, while liberals want that to remain 4/5ths, and leftists want that to be expanded to 5/5ths. Both only look right-wing with respect to the POV of being at the left, which we are currently not, since mainstream America is shifted so extremely right-wards.

I find it interesting that despite everything being all skewed and disconnected, yet there is not one single piece (except the artist name that doesn't count) that is separated from the whole. We are all in this together, whether we want to be or not.

(the only exception seems to be a single arm bulge/shadow thing, but I hope you get what I mean overall)

Sigh... fair point:-|. I hate that it's true, but...

(in my head, I like to think that "real liberals" simply have no representation in politics right now, or ever, but then the opposing argument to that is that the purpose of a system is what it manages to accomplish so... I cannot in good conscience continue to do that)

Also John Oliver / Last Week Tonight's video on Trump's second term.

I wonder what the likelihood of all this happening is, but the mere fact that it seems like far more than half is... eye-opening.

reasonable price and decent location - as in... BOTH!?

On the other hand if money were no object...
