Crime rates maybe go down because you’re going hyperbolic with the state monopoly on violence but also that kind of authoritarian regime often has control over the data. When you don’t care for process you generally don’t care for integrity.

Idk man, i forgot his name since i commented. Fast news cycle cuts both directions. Visuals and memes have a little bit more lasting impact. Punch nazis kid is much easier to remember.

Idk what you mean. I’d rather remember a good person. If his goal was attention then he failed utterly as the other kid got the credit

This post is the first time I’ve heard of him and I’ve seen the video and memes. At least for me you’ve done more to promote awareness of him than anyone else including spud himself.

Some gas stations, mostly ones without the store, are closing in saturated areas but most are still there just with charging stations in the lot next to the pumps.

Bensin if were using the local speak

They could have gone with a more contemplative “Look inward”.

Couldn’t agree more. To serve and protect would have been to take the scalding, not their life. If you’re an officer the standard of conduct and consequence must be higher than for the citizen.

LMAO they’re calling people fascists for acting like a fascist 🤷 not sure how that makes it meaningless.

You don’t go into law enforcement thinking you won’t be shooting someone in your career. You have to want to use force on people and abandon empathy for humans just trying to survive.

Liberals are ill-equipped and it’s antithetical to the left.

DON’T UNDERESTIMATE FASCISTS.

They’re as much attracted to the ideology as they are to the strongman. It gives then an escape from facing their own insecurities and failures. It might be an internal fight but they will find their next man-god.

An opposition will need pressure at that time to take notice and action

Huh, wild!

It’s been a while since I’ve watched TV. Going by youtube/streaming/podcasting ads I’ve never seen/heard one for fruits/veggies. Maybe from the Ad Council? But that would be publicly funded.

Beef and dairy from induatry I’ve definitely heard.

This is why you see ads for apples and bananas instead of beef.

You can change your diet to foods that are readily eaten or with very little (5-10min) prep. That’s a benefit of fruits and vegetables; prep is often optional. However,

Depression, burnout and similar stuff

Also makes the behavioral change of just making a different choice or trusting future benefit nearly impossible.

I think it suggests you’ll be swapping your depression for another, different depression.

Ever wonder why your ass cheeks feel wet after a multi-flusher?

I think you need more fiber in your diet…

I haven’t generalized anything beyond the extents of

1. my area geographically
2. The groups in my area which i interact with
3. An individuals weight within a community over time.

I have not said it’s impossible to do for me and have made no claim on the ability for others to do it.

I’ll give you so much as i didn’t append “for me” or “in my situation” to every sentence, but the statements lay within the context provided in the rest of the post.

I’m not denying it’s technically feasible. I do deny learned helplessness. I have limited energy in life. Using it on making a change I’m not passionate about is a recipe for severe burnout. If i get more involved and find there’s sentiment towards a migration away from FB then I’d spend some energy on building and facilitating that. Barging in and making demands isn’t an effective way to build community. You can introduce ideas and develop them over time to show that it comes from care for and dedication to the org.

So yeah it’s unrealistic on the time scales I’m concerned with.
