You came to proselytize. They asked if you love them. Now, show this person a meaningful sacrifice.

I don't like Biden, Democrats, or Republicans, because they've consistently represented their corporate constituency.

I personally

Political representation isn't a popularity contest.

That said, he's been an effective, progressive president.

Yes, when compared to diarrhea he's a God.

Get out of the echo chamber and begin thinking for yourself. Others will gladly help once you find humility.

Even a small dose of LSD will produce moving patterns and tracers. But, I'm not advocating you try it because it's psychologically quite risky. This drug can do much more than break down walls. One strange trip has to potential to change who you are.

I feel like the only "real" relationship I have is with my wife. Friends I think are close distance themselves if I begin a conversation with something personal and nuanced enough to be meaningful and engaging.

We both felt like this for quite awhile. And, we soon reasoned that we were about the perfect people in the perfect situation to answer: Where does a collectivist sense community still exist? The answer appears incredibly simple: Forty to sixty minutes from the closest Walmart.

In twenty five years you'll be thanking her because you know what the fuck the news just said. But, today, I can only imagine the torture.

Right now my landlord isn't owning a gigantic series of mistakes. You made my day by owning a very small one.

I think this is much more positive and productive than what the other conversation became.

If the long day has been online, I suggest talking to someone about any subject IRL, in person or on the phone. A little human stuff puts all this digital bullshit right back into perspective for me.

When I said to consider yourself, you asked me to consider another's opinion of you that you disagree with.

If you can dish it out then you'll see right though such bullshit when it regularly pops up in the mod que ;)

web design or legal compliance or social media marketing

Fuck all that. It's not needed.

They need someone with strong reading comprehension, who can consistently reason their way from an ideology to the specific situation, then write professionally. Mods work the collective que of reports independently.

If you don't want the gig no one one is owed an explanation. But, please don't judge yourself underqualified for the wrong reasons.

Applying theory to another facet of life:

The blades in a typical disposable razor are so thin, sharp, and malleable that they can be resharpened with a typical towel. This got me a lot more for my money until I discovered safety razors. These hold a better edge and can also be resharpened, with leather instead of a towel. I've been shaving for several years on a $15 box of blades I'm not even halfway through.

The entire Biden campaign is "not Trump". The most powerful closing statement Biden can make is to let Trump spout gibberish until getting abruptly cut off by the shot caller in the video booth.
