The US really is becoming a third world country by the day, isn't it. God I hate it here

Not op, but I'd say it's easy to guess why people care about numbers so much. Main reason is because it feels like making a statement and that feels good. It's a tiny amount of effort for a bigger dopamine reward.
It's just as easy to guess why people don't care about them either. They don't affect anything and can feel meaningless as a result. It just depends on the person
He also will lose an eye, so he'll have plenty to be grumpy about
Aww poor little snake baby. I haven't played Hades, but this makes me feel so bad for her
Honestly at this point, even a low corruption government seems harder than balancing a boulder on a toothpick for the super powers of the world
You might wanna check the usernames. I never asked why you carry coins around. I don't even carry them. I just take them home and put them in a jar to save until there's enough to exchange
No, you obviously don't do it after every transaction. You save the change until you have plenty saved up and then exchange it for bills. This is what like every single person does.
What a strange person
The first one I get, but the rest have issues.
The giving water to voters thing is for political candidates. Gift giving is by far the most effective way to manipulate people into doing what you want. That's why Jehovah's witnesses give you a free book when they're on mission.
Peaceful public assembly is litterally protected by the constitution. That doesn't stop police from declaring peaceful assembly a riot and shutting it down, but that's a different matter.
Arguing with cops never gets you anywhere good. Likewise insulting them to their face.
Nazis are objectively wrong and bad, but their right to peacefully assemble in public is just as protected as yours. Attacking them unprovoked is assault even if you have the moral high ground.
I agree with the spirit of everything you said. It's just that vigilante justice just flat out doesn't work. You become an example of your party's supposedly blatant corruption and now they have someone to rally against. In most cases laws need to be changed, not broken.
I understand what you're saying, but I don't think that's what the meme was meaning. I think it meant when you leave empty handed, it looks like you're shoplifting. That makes you nervous and you start acting weird which makes you look even more suspicious and more nervous. Wash, rinse, and repeat till you get home and cry because social situations are awkward and hard and life would be so much easier if I was alone on a deserted island like Tom Hanks in that one movie.
... I might've lost track towards the end, but you get the idea.
I'd say just to pay attention to the information anyone is giving you. Keep what's relevant and make good use of it. Learn from what isn't relevant anymore and have a discussion about why it's not relevant.
Our elders have so much experience. Even if some of it isn't directly helpful to you, there's still so much of the human experience that hasn't ever and will never change. Things like relationships, survival, hope, struggle, addiction, passion, and so much more.
I was kinda being mean just for the sake of the meme. I know there's a lot of nuance when it comes to Jenny and forest's relationship. I fall into the "it's understandable, but still not justifiable" camp.
I totally agree about the movie. Easily one of my top 10 movies
Idk. The us population definitely isn't aligned with the us government or vice versa.
Jokes aside, that's pretty interesting. I didn't know that's where those terms came from
