[meme] Simple problems require simple solutions

Reply in thread

While I agree with the sentiment, making a plan to make changes is a very important first step. I'm still a car driver who wants better public transportation, while also acknowledging its very unlikely for my area (45 mins outside Atlanta, GA). However, if we aim for it specifically, it's always a good step, even if it's not going to be instant or 5 years.

One of the biggest issues ro change are people saying "that won't happen" and just not changing the status quo. We don't need to perfectly do it in a short time, but we do need to start making steps right away, even if they take longer than we want.

Whole Foods argues it can ban BLM masks because the Supreme Court let a Christian business owner refuse same-sex couples

So, we can ban crosses? I'm obviously going a bit far, but both somewhat touch on the way people believe rights should be secured, and both involve human rights (one to free expression of religion, another to life and fr33dom from unfair treatment in general). Both make statements to others that others may find uncomfortable, depending on their beliefs.

Explain to me what you think the MSM is. The screenshot in this very post shows the New York Times, The Washington Post, Newsweek, and a 4th presumably main stream media organization demonstrating Isreal's meddling.

Do you not believe those to be MSM? If not, define it right here, and not the way that idiot Owen Shroyer kept messing up in his deposition.

Same reason Trump was on it during his presidency iirc. Quoting them:

TIME has a long history of featuring presidents on the cover and Trump, whose presidency defied precedents and fractured norms, has been no exception. Eight of the top 10 people to appear most often on TIME’s cover are U.S. presidents.

Nixon, Reagan, and Bill Clinton have all been on more than Trump.

Iirc, the way to get cats to enjoy water is to get them used to it early, and to make it fairly warm so it's not a shock to them. Like getting in a jacuzzi instead of a cold pool.

People who have this take often feel similar about medicine, vaccines, etc. Natural remedies, essential oils, or just good old God is punishing you if you get sick. (A lot of them are hypocrites too, as they'll drop some of this stuff to save their own lives).

I do see it, but consistently call it out if I can. I like to use the example of POGS if anything regarding viral trends or whatever comes up. POGS were just printed pieces of cardboard that encouraged gambling, and we morons ate that shit up.
