Thank you so much for this thoughtful response. I didn’t think about it that way. You made a very good point about local elections.

Look, I agree with you, but up to a point. I can barely navigate my own life and I’m responsible for yours? No thank you. I didn’t vote for Kang, I wasn’t gonna vote for Kodos, and I do not see how any result could possibly be my fault. The ancestors agreed to let fascism rise before I was a single cell in mom’s developing uterus. My state votes red, always, no matter what I do. I can’t afford to leave, but I believe I have never once had my interests represented by my vote. I’ll still vote, because it is my duty as a citizen. My choice or yours, we all get turd sandwiches.

Blame and bully me to death if you want, but isn’t there someone else more controlling, with more influence on the election who surprisingly is not subject to the same blame or bullying?

Sorry, I’ll get right on fixing that for you. I’m obviously responsible.

Edit: but honestly, is shaming me into voting going to make the system better or is it just to make you feel better about the broken system?

Yes the world was perfection before voter apathy

Well obviously fb needs to sell this to big cereal bowl mouth

Hi! Your comment succeeded in convincing me of all the genocide in which I have been tacitly engaged. What action do you recommend I take now?

“I am part of the intelligencia”

Just from scrolling through, you may have been one of the only ones to report seeing the ball-pusher as female instead of male or indeterminate/ no gender

This question has gone back and forth a lot, and the data says: both! The overall development of organisms depends the sum of the effect of the genes, the environment, and the gene-by-environment interaction. In conclusion, to predict human behaviors and personalities, we need a new zodiac system that accounts for multiple hemispheres, precipitation, elevation, socioeconomics, pandemics, popular movies, climate change, and the genome.

“I was a Porky’s kid, born in the southern hemisphere, I ate well, was raised in good home, I had access to education, and it was back when climate change was still deniable. Most people did not know what a pandemic was. I’m genetically predisposed to hair loss.”

“Ma’am, you are, what we call, a Jaguar-5-hypercrab-superbear, and I’m going to have to ask you to go with the nice officer now.”

Yes! Cooperative behavior can that result in kin selection, where the individuals of the community have similar fitness. However, selfishness and deception are exceptionally beneficial behaviors for increasing the fitness of a particular individual. That is just within the same species. Perhaps tribalisms are another form of kin selection?

Yes. I looked that up, it seems he said something very nasty on his Twitch stream and was temp-banned.

Do you think a fourteen day ban is an effective deterrent? Why?

I think he is at least in part rewarded with publicity. We are currently discussing him, right?

People are basically good

ADHD comorbid with hemorrhoids? Would make a lot of sense, personally.

If this is a one-time event, I would ignore & move on. If I ever see more than three posts in a row by a user, I block that user. It doesn’t have to be permanent.

Ever read Miller’s Death of a Salesman? well it’s almost like that, but without any insurance.

it was the only one I was qualified for

obviously a reputable source of information
