I’m sure that one on the right has a bend in it for structural reasons…
I can’t believe NYPD and LAPD, bastions, of peace and de-escalation, would throw their weight around like this /s
Related to bargaining, I read the wiki article on Iran’s nuclear program the other day and was surprised at how hard they are trying to do their nuclear program “by the book” while the US keeps blocking everyone else from agreeing that they’re entitled as long as they follow the guidelines (paris agreement etc).
~50% of the voters*
the crochet(?) veggies are adorable
Right? The vast majority of religious people believe in ‘the god of Abraham,’ why can’t they get along?
Indeed, it’s pretty clear in the video, which is at the very top of the article, that the car didn’t accelerate at the shooter.
At my first full time job my supervisor specified that I could hang up on anyone who brought up their lawyer, used abusive language, or brought up the BBB.
Democracy was dead from the beginning, the ‘founding fathers’ were afraid of the masses and the structure of the government is a reflection of that. On top of that the dominance of political parties (which George Washington warned against) makes it essentially impossible to vote for someone who generally shares your interests which is what you’re supposed to be doing in a democracy.
I’m on kbin so I only see upvotes:)
I think you’re arguing with ghosts, I’m honestly confused about what you’re trying to say and can’t keep track of all the assumptions you’re putting on the very little I said… I was truly trying to critique the fact that democrats specifically seem to jump to ‘Russian conspiracy’ very quickly when someone mentions they don’t believe in voting despite the fact that a large fraction of the population abstains from voting on a regular basis. You would think one would expect to run into a lot of true nonvoters given the statistics.
I made a meme claiming democrats call anyone who says they don’t vote a russian conspiracist, you gave a bunch of (likely incorrect, based on the real data) guesses about why people might not vote.
If anyone is interested in the actual reasons people give, you’re mostly out of luck because there is precious little research, neither of the major parties seem to care about this demographic, and neither do pollsters for the most part. Here’re the results of some research following the 2020 presidential (based on a fairly small sample).
Spoiler: It’s not because they don’t have time.
My hypothesis that democrats immediately leap to russian conspiracy rather than looking for actual reasons?
You can make fresh spinach last longer if you layer in some napkins/paper towels (something something moisture, I don’t really know the science).
Science, the mode of inquiry, is great and generally requires a broad consensus before something is accepted. Singular studies should be processed with a few grains of salt—academics aren’t immune to bias or faulty reasoning.
Is there an ending that doesn’t involve people starving? Maybe a post-food-scarcity one?
Conquest of bread predates the USSR but I suspect Kropotkin wouldn’t be a fan
okay, this is really cool. Love when people make interactive stuff like this to help us grasp concepts
Yeah and also your comment might be illegal in the US soon
