Rather than shame someone who is changing, maybe encourage it. It’s easier to get people on board the train if people are friendly rather than passing negative judgment.

Huh, thanks for this. I have family that swears by them, but they also make me sick. I didn’t realize they had sorbitol. I had wondered why their brand was so disagreeable to me.

No one said what you said was fascism…? The other poster seemed to be implying that a candidate deemed “fine” should always be the better choice over a fascist.

Condemning fascism is not being combative.

Oh Jesus, I miss the obvious things, for some reason I thought it was some other kind of slang. I need more sleep.

Thanks!

What is PTB? I assume it’s not about tuberculosis but that’s all I’m finding.

Man, I’m glad I’m not the only one. Conversely I hate when I up vote really bad stuff on accident.

Well I see your reading skills are on par with your capacity for empathy…

Seeing stuff like this hurts to read. Sure a large majority who get hurt will probably be “those people” Sure it’s great it doesn’t affect you personally. It all just sounds incredibly callous and privileged to dismiss the suffering of others.

My fiancee and her mother have been spending every minute of visiting hours at the hospital. My fiancee’s father has been teetering on the verge of death. Their benefits and insurance are on the cutting block. Upon hearing about this news he mother came to us crying because she doesn’t know what they will do without it.

These are retired veterans who put in their time and have always voted left and for progressive policies. They are also some of the most caring and supportive people I’ve ever met. My fiancee often jokes that her mom loves me more than my own mother.

I don’t have any good solution, but it feels like it would be better not to wish for harm to befall people because it doesn’t impact you or any good people you know.

So it’s less that the person rightfully was punished and more newsworthy that someone broke that code of conduct? That makes more sense. I think the modem news is making me more cynical than I would like.

Thanks for the insight!

Why is this so noteworthy? The driver clearly murdered someone. Is it not the norm to be charged with murder there? I was expecting to read about someone who in some freak accident accidentally killed someone, not this deliberately turn towards and drive through them bull shit.

What is 5/9M?

I haven’t really seen much of South Park, but heard Thor talking about this. Is this actually the character they designed around his dad?

Huh TIL! That’s an awesome name. I hope I can use that one day, all of our pets are Greek named.
