People just want an easy, lazy way to find someone to follow.

Donating money is the most efficient choice. Food banks know what their community needs, and they have wholesale buying power. Our mish mash of cans from our cupboards is accepted mostly because it helps you feel like you're "doing" something and keeps people interested.

I have a bum kidney and could be a urologist at this point, so I like to ruin this kind of person's day by letting them know urine isn't sterile, despite the persistent "common knowledge" 😊

He was an obvious Nazi when he was elected. Do a Google about him chasing a black jogger.

Voting blue no matter who is how we get these dipsticks.

I don't know why you're all surprised. The group is about the same size as many high school graduating classes; they eat lunch together, go to events together, and are paid by the same oligarchs.

Stop voting for a letter, start paying attention to Actions over Words.

I'm guessing we have more victims than adversaries around the world. It's time we deal with our actions since we entered world policing and maybe come back to the table very humbly.

Adults can become literate. If you live in a state with shitty education and many No Child Left Behind victims, try to start an initiative to improve their reading level.

They are certainly being ripped off by not being able to read : by banks, by internet scams, etc. That's your in.

The point was that you can train someone to be charismatic, but you can't make a sociopath into a good person. Harris did not get trained. I've been a manager for 25 years and I worked in politics; picking a good person to give speech training to isn't difficult to execute.

Did she go through Toastmasters and have a good speech writer? Was the trade-off not being fascist lite as a Zionist/former cop/prosecuter who argued to keep black men in jail for free state forced labor, running as anti-genocide sentiments were ramping up?

Conditions not met, irrelevant.

The new corporate pitch to their smaller business owning prey is that they shouldn't need commercials and every single employee needs to provide direct income. As you can imagine, almost no employees directly generate income without advertising.

Rich people have an overinflated sense of their own skill, value, and importance. Expect a lot of threats to be followed by capitulation until we get rid of them.
