I don’t see anything weird about this. Sounds like parenting.

I met my wife on OK cupid. 8 years ago though.

Separating Europe and Asia is just racism really.

Honestly a better convention.

Smuggling is what it will cause. I’ll risk dying in a hot truck.

If you want to kill a whole lot of people, your police will suffer and eventually quit if you just have the execute people en mass. This happened to the Nazis and it’s the prime reason the gas chambers were constructed.
The police need to feel like they are doing the right thing.

You have been playing too much rainbow six. There are no good guys in the halls of power looking after us.
There are only the rich fucks over here and the rich fucks over there pulling the levers of power.

It’s the only rational course of action we have left for them. They would be insane not to try. I don’t know if they will succeed. Mosad seems all powerful, but they will certainly try.

It’s terrifying in many ways.

Millennial, briefly experienced a life with limited access to information.
You are capable of more than you think. You wrote phone numbers down and memorized your own. You memorized the ones you used regularly. I had 7-8 friends and family numbers memorized.
You also only needed one phone number per household.
When you needed to know something like how to fix a car or replace a light bulb you asked someone. Often An uncle, aunt, or cousin. If nobody in your friends/family group knew, you went to the library.
Yellow pages and magazines and instruction manuals were constantly floating around with information. I never felt deprived of curiosity. I read a lot.

Absolutely. The US military was tiny at the outbreak of the civil war, and a whole lot of the veterans of the Mexican American war were fighting for the South.
If violence escalates, and I think it might, it will look much more like the troubles than the American Civil war.

I wouldn’t be surprised to find more of those in use in the US I. The coming years.

For what I and probably you want to happen? Almost certainly not.
For something to happen? I figure yes. I will be doing what I can to shape the future with peaceful protest.

Protest would be more effective to effect change, and I will be doing my part in my city.

Americans are packing more heat than the French. We won’t ever organize to shut down the country, but there will be more executions and attempted murders like the United Health CEO.
As people fall into despair most will rot away silently, but a minority will decide to take somebody with them.

Robert Evans, podcaster and Journalist that I have some respect for, concluded that it could be either true suicide which is also criminal negligence or conspiracy coverup, but the negligence/suicide has more evidence. The doctor saying it’s a conspiracy coverup and is a known grifter.

They will cheer on the violence.
They want us in basements, closets, or graves.
Most don’t care which. Some won’t settle for basements.
- Comment on It's Breathtaking How Fast AI Is Screwing Up the Education System 1 month ago:
“Though it’s also possible that public schools will close and only the wealthy kids will be well-educated… can we not, please?”
Trump and Republicans would like nothing more than to turn this country into another Russia where your kids have to pay through the nose go abroad to get a decent education.

Brave New World? No, the rulers aren’t that benevolent.
1984? Still no, they aren’t that competent.
We are heading for fareinheit 451.

This is a no true scottsman on critical thinking.
I’m going to copy my reply to Barney above.
We have all sorts of evidence for conflicting conclusions. Most of us do not have the time or resources get a lock on which evidence is truly trustworthy.
If you talk to a flat earther, or a dedicated follower of the oppossing political team, you will see they understand faulty sources, chains of logic, and deductive reasoning, they just only apply them in support of their position.
You can teach a person about bias in research or media and they will use that knowledge to discredit positions they don’t agree with.
You can say “that’s not critical thinking” and on one hand I agree, but teaching more thourough critical thinking skills won’t have the result we want: for people to make evidence based decisions about their life and society.
In my experience, Getting people to change their minds requires engaging their emotions. Decisions are made on the basis or shame, fear, anger, and more rarely, love, hope, and empathy.
The evidence needs to be there to support the emotion, but nobody ever changes their behavior on the strength of the evidence alone.

All of that can be done, badly. Which is how people do it. See the discourse around any popular drama, people have the skills, they just use them in service of their own pre conceived notions.

It’s bleak, but if you want to persuade a large number of people to think differently, you don’t challenge their worldview, you create new biases that they will then defend in their own.
See: trump’s constant repetition of blatant lies.

The average person has lots of critical thinking.
It’s just not a life hack to truth. You can critical think yourself into any conclusion. The average person uses critical thinking to reinforce their biased instead of challenge them.

They would have to declare him illegitimate and thus intelligible to grant pardon. Which he is under the 14th amendment.
They would also need to ignore the supreme court, but if we ever get that far, it goes without saying.
