Yeah honestly there's no point adding meaningless chatter either. I like the comment sections here because it feels like people have let their words settle in their minds before they started mashing the keyboard.

You're trying to tell me that we need an arms race of taller cars, so we can see past the cars in front of us? For road safety?

Claims it was Somalians ("who were not born in America") who voted Ilhan Omar into Congress.

Across the entire US it's estimated that 260k are of Somalian descent, 84k of whom live in Minneapolis-St. Paul area. Ilhan Omar's district has 700k residents, 60% white.

Nah man I can actually get on board with this. I used to hate Times New Roman but it's streets ahead of the scourge that is Calibri, and with modern monitors serif fonts look fine.

He wanted crayons and some paper so he could make some art. Some of us have to work for a living and don't have time for such aloof luxuries.

Why does the Critical Drinker sound like he hasn't taken a shit in a week and needs to make it your problem?

The protections are key here. I'd take a slightly lower wage for a healthy work environment any day, and I know that most people agree.

Yeah, for sure. There's an element of failing to grasp basic concepts of physics here, intertwined with a psychology of not wanting to feel small I suppose.

I tried to explain to my sister that you don't actually see more of the road when you sit higher up, it's just that the road takes up a larger portion of your field of view. You actually see less of the road because the part directly around your car (the most important part) is obscured. She thought I was twisting words and got angry. If we lived in the USA her 150 cm ass would be driving an F-150.

"I can see better" says so much about a person's psychology.

Yeah man, just remember we love you guys despite your insane government.

I've posted an original newspaper frontpage on my livingroom wall. It's from the late 1980s, the year and date I was born. It's got a giant photo of a wall of snow, with a small opening dug through it so that a car can pass through.

Title says: Patience! We will have Mediterranean weather in 50 years.

If it makes you feel any better, McDonald's genuinely feels like the safest space when you're rock bottom. It's safer than church.
