You can vote, you can voice your opinions, you can send messages to politicians in your jurisdiction, you can join protests. These will lead to change if sufficient numbers also perform these things.

If you ignore it, then yeah, nothing will happen. But even just being aware of it, and brining it to others' attention, which may influence stuff like their vote, etc.. helps.

There have been plenty of uproar about the crisis in Yemen, but ultimately the US didn't budge from their support of Saudi Arabia, and then.. what more is there to do?

It's hard to build up momentum for a movement without the media on your side, and now Israel Palestine is in the news a lot, so that takes the focus. I sure would love to give more aid to stop bloodshed, poverty, and other crises everywhere.

You're more patient than me. I couldn't help myself bit to constantly talk about airlines, how the fly, shortest routes, planes going over the Arctic Circle since it's faster, etc..

Used long enough a slang term just becomes part of the language.

For example, "cool" used to be slang. Would you say it's still slang? Or just part of the English language now?

Elon failed at scaling businesses. He lucked out at the start, and people think he's a genius due to survivorship bias, but tesla is going down the drain, even if it had an extremely good position in the market. SpaceX is doing alright I suppose, but didn't achieve many of the ambitious goals Elon said would happen, like the mars stuff, if not cancelled, then very delayed. The boring Company is a failure. Twitter is a failure. Solar roofs were a failure. Neuralink is a failure.

Employees talk about how they constantly have to tip-toe around him, and basically psychologically manipulate him to do the right thing. I think SpaceX just has really good managers that manage not the employees, but Elon himself. Whenever he gets full reign in a company, it falls apart.

I'd much rather have a smaller functioning social media than a larger, mainstream one that gets sucked dry for everything it's worth for capitalist gain

Growth is not everything

You don't think the war escalated? Really?

You don't think new wars or escalations of them should be in the news because Ukraine is still in a war?

Having a home makes it far easier to kick an addiction.

Do you think if you got addicted, it would be easier for you to kick the addiction if you kept your home, or if you lost it? Same thing with mental illness or any other problem.

Did you derive that limited joke all by yourself?
