I'm pretty sure most school shooters attend the school they're shooting up. Kind of an apples to oranges thing here. Unless ... Can we get disgruntled board members onboard?

Jk their lives are too posh for that.

Oh fuck right off with that bullshit. Abortions are a medical procedure. Women have died because they can't get them. Or should we just let fetuses that die in utero rot inside the womb and kill the poor woman who lost her baby through no fault of her own?

That's just one example off the top of my head.

Nobody wants to or is killing children. That's some hyperbolic bullshit.

You understand that just posting a bunch of bullshit links with bad takes doesn't make it true.

Jesus Fucking Gish Gallop Christ.

Nobody forced Russia to invade another sovereign nation. If anything it goes to show that being in NATO keeps you safe from Russia (just look at the baltic states). If Putin and/or Russia's goal was to stop NATO expansion this war already did the opposite.

Is it more simple in that it requires less physical stuff. Sure. But it's impossible to get the wifi to be as good as wired provided you're jacked into the modem (switch) itself.

It can get almost as good though with modern tech.

I hear you and out of the two major parties by far it's the Dems trying to get election laws improved. But yeah I know it isn't easy.

Aww cute you think that a 3rd party would ever be viable on a national level at this point.

This is why we need to change our election laws though for real so we can vote for who we want without taking votes from the most likely winner or other acceptable candidate.

I'd rather have a parliamentary system to be honest, the way congress works and electing our reps directly vs voting for parties just lends itself to the two party problem and that's not stopping anytime soon by the looks of it.

I don't think you know the definition of the words "literal" and "communism" if that's what you think.

Yeah, no judgment but it sounds like it definitely comes down to lifestyle choices. For example, renting a place vs living in the camper. Hauling vs delivery and stockpile.

Obviously the choices you make and life you live are your own and valid. Sometimes I wonder how much of a problem and stress on the planet my life in suburbia is. I need to have a car to just survive. It's all my choice and the wife too of course but I do feel like a hypocrite many days of my life.

What do you use it for that a smaller truck, hatchback, mini van or other vehicle would be unable to also get the job done?

Spoiler alert: they're probably not buying mass produced China sets even if they are nice.

Source: me exhausting all avenues of trying to part with vintage China set(s) and replacements.com telling me to politely fuck off.

I don't think you understand the psyche of people voting for him, even if Trump personally came to their house and stomped on their balls they would vote for him.

It won't make any difference to their future votes if they suffer, it'll just be suffering.

I still don't really know a good way to pry people away from his cult of personality or convince them of the truth but suffering for the sake of itself is not good.

People really gonna down vote you because they don't realize the username you're replying to is literally jerkface...

Woke isn't being progressive. It's being progressive to an extent beyond any sort of logic, virtue signaling constantly, and then calling anyone who disagrees with you morally or intellectually inferior

I fucking hate that the idea of being woke was poisoned and turned into this when it very much is not and never was.

Woke is acknowledging the systemic racism playing out daily in the United States of America.

I think most of what you wrote isn't even true to be honest, it's a well strung together list of annoying tropes which doesn't even happen nearly as much or widely as some would suggest. It's a neat little "here's a bad way of caring" package but it ain't the truth.

I appreciate the effort you went through to write the post and I understand your viewpoint. At the same time, this is a great example of how the term "woke" has been co-opted into meaning something it never really did. Being awake to the injustices present in our lives isn't a bad thing. Turning woke into a slur to wrongly characterize and misdirect away from its true original intent has been an effective, and gross, way to get people to automatically reject real critique.

I was skimming more and the actual law is that the secretary has to not have served in the military in the past 7 years. It specifically calls out they're a civilian.

Most of them have had military experience though, it's probably helpful.

Well if it wasn't in his wiki when you posted that, it is now.

Lol I know I just was trying for a bit of a joke.

Why is that bed not on fire?

Ah same appeal as beanie babies when you could do that with them on eBay.

Lol what rights were given up?

Hint: The answer is none.
