The main argument is that we are in a system of people who are way more powerful than us, and have largely taken away our options until we agree. We're facing widespread protests and international strikes right now because we don't like the options they've given us, and we're trying to change the system.

Just because somebody takes away your options until you agree, doesn't mean they aren't forcing you. Just because you happen to be satisfied with what you have, doesn't mean that something better is not being denied from you, even though it is possible for you to have it.

Conceivably because they want ad revenue and engagement for a video, even when the information can be fit in a short paragraph

Categorically false.

Many people with down syndrome live fulfilling, independent lives, and even have children with other people who have down syndrome

There is a kernel of truth in this clusterfuck.

One time I was down insanely bad for this girl, and for a little while I got these intrusive thoughts of protecting her from an attacker. I don't normally think about that stuff and I noticed how sudden and unusual those thoughts were.

My friend and I figured it was some Y chromosome shit

Is commenting for engagement boost a thing?

This is incredible and I never could have imagined it. This will democratize the power of programming

It was in high school that I last learned about the different types of bonds. This one article actually gave me a better education than chemistry class, if I'm going to be very honest. (Though to be fair to my chemistry class, I probably wouldn't have the foundational knowledge to understand what was going on otherwise, so I'll give you both credit)

People have opinions, so they will pay more money for some things and less money for other things.

There are things that you think are valuable that other people think are stupid. Like your opinions on art, for example.

So... Without a government, there just wouldn't be armies? Rich and powerful private citizens wouldn't form their own armed forces?

You're going to have to take my word for it because I'm lazy and in bed, but Israel goes to serious effort to make no distinction between civilian, terrorist, protester or child.

They have rules of engagement so broad that basically nobody is safe. When soldiers gunned down children, they are either not charged or cleared by falsified evidence. Some of which admits that they killing was unjustified and offers alternative explanations to be given to the press.

The amount that pops into my head is big enough that I'd say I don't need it.
