How old is this cousin? Maybe they don’t know how to deal with difficult information yet

Clearly you don’t understand how slow things are in government. 6 months is a really fast turnaround for the government to get anything done.

You’ve never been a rich privileged white man I see. Trump’s only thoughts are “surely this can’t be fair, there’s gotta be something we can do to come to a better agreement” and he’ll continue to be flabbergasted by any other result because he’s never had to deal with real consequences in his life.

Sticking your head in the sand is a great strategy for never helping to enact change. Knowledge is power, learn what you can.

Except they didn’t fix the root of the problem, they just kicked the can down the road and made big banks even bigger. Some bigger than the Treasury itself. They set up a bigger ticking time bomb for someone else to worry about when they’re gone.

Wow, I feel this lately. One day at a time, but you’re telling me Christmas is in…18 days?

There’s never a scenario on the internet where 99% of people agree with you…unless you’re just talking to yourself. Just let it go, not like you lose anything with downvotes.

THAT’S what Brian Boitano’d do!

I wonder what he’d do if he were here…

Sasha Cohen. Sadly it never quite all came together for her, but she was so elegant on ice.

I’d like to know where he got these “facts” because I know no such study with any validity exists. Did he just ask 4 high school students and call it an undeniable truth? That sounds like the kind of logic I’m used to from people like this.

It’s not a fact. You’re predicting events of the future that haven’t yet happened. I don’t care what you know about the legal system, you absolutely cannot call it fact.

You are not a supreme being with the power of knowing or influencing the future. That’s just nonsense.

Also I hope you’re right.

Just stare into her eyes and the answer will be revealed.

Calling people out on their BS is the right line to draw for me personally, but I still want that person to have the right to express their opinion. We just need to teach people that it’s ok to be wrong as long as you can admit it and learn from it. No idea gets processed until pushed from an opposing party.

Sitting back and doing nothing teaches nothing. Calling it appalling and informing the person why they’re wrong is the right step toward change. But if you can’t say it in a way that makes them hear you, then you’re doomed to have the argument all over again.

No, I wouldn’t. That’s why they won’t price it at $20. They’re gonna have to figure something else out or just have a complete negative loss in the state. You can try to price gouge people but they’ll likely just go somewhere else. This is some bs thinking through and through

I- I don’t really know, sorry.

II- Yeah I’m not really sure tbh.

III- The purpose of your life is up to you. You are part of something bigger and no matter what you end up doing, you have a place in this crazy universe. Nothing would exist without you and you wouldn’t exist without everything else. Your balance is the world’s balance, and you’ll feel your purpose when you realize your connection and influence on everything around you. Also… 42

Thanks for reminding me to water my one and only plant…it was suffering! 🫣

I appreciate the concern and know about the potential negative consequences. But with all due respect, you don’t know me or the type of news I seek out or how I feel about it. I prefer to know what’s going on around me and the world so I can work towards making impactful changes. That doesn’t mean everyone else has to but it works well for me.

That’s may be true for you, but a lot of these type sites are a great source for news and information about the world. Ignorance is bliss as they say, but the world keeps spinning whether or not you pay attention to it. I’m not saying you HAVE to get news from social media, but that’s what I primarily use it for.

And those owners can almost always find a compassionate ear from their loyal rich CEOs who don’t want to upset a however many years relationship of “I’ll scratch your back if you scratch mine” kinda thing.
