True but learning is hard work.

And fuck, I hated homework.

It’s an outrage 100 different ways, but one of those is: this is an amazing job that a person could do SO much with. Policy is intensely interesting and massively important. There’s a huge variety of issues and so much to learn and fix.

For someone to seriously propose themselves for the job without having the decency to know what they even want to do with it… it’s just insulting.

Carbon negative when applied to soil. Making it is still a carbon releasing combustion process

EDIT okay I’m wrong they are including the production in their calculations.

I know sand is actually a precious resource when you really learn about how much concrete we make and what kinds of sand there are and which are needed for concrete.

But still, it’s strange to think that this exotic bean which will only grow in certain climates can actually be easier to get than fucking sand.

A doctor has access to totally different electronic information services than the average jackass on Facebook, if you didn’t know. Lawyers and journalists have their own versions of this too. So yeah, any doctor has better info than any private individual.

More importantly, they have well-informed judgment about how to consume those statistics, quality them, and apply them. This is quite important as the average Facebook jackass is bombarded by deliberately misleading information which they need to think critically about unraveling.

That is neither accurate nor the point.

One time I got into a who-gets-the-parking-spot competition with another vehicle. I was faster and I got it. The other vehicle was a monster truck bigger than this one. As I got out and walked away I heard it’s h loud horn blare and a voice shouted “hey!” It was the guy in the monster truck. I walked over to him. He remained inside, rolled down the window. He was smallll. Like probably not quite 5 feet tall small. And in a little squeaky voice he said “aw man! I was gonna get that parking space, bro!” I just said “you mean that one where my car is?” and walked away.

In the US especially we also have to ask specifically, how well has America treated black people? The worst offenders I have seen on the morning bus have been black, but IMO they’re only treating the bus about as badly as they have been treated themselves. Which of those is the real outrage? The bus? No.

Editing is so impactful on the final, delivered performance that I’m surprised I’ve never heard something like this before.

[-] Bendavisunlv6@lemmynsfw.com 5 points 1 year ago

I’ll do that tomorrow.

Well it’s yours so you get to decide. Go make your own platform and you can have all the freedom you want. But it always seems to be that folks want a share of someone else’s platform, and when they can’t get it, their freedom has been taken away. SMH
