Because children are so well known for their strict adherence to warning labels.

Like anything else, can be, depending on your needs.

I’m so sorry to hear of your continued struggles. I hope you and your partner recover more quickly and completely than you did last time.

Are you open to the possibility of separating yourself from these problematic family members? I know some people feel very strongly about “familial bond” but I’ve always held the belief that nobody should get extra points for sharing genes. If a person is not a person I gain anything from, I don’t feel the need to maintain contact with them.

I see, I mistakenly thought they were replying to something I had said. Thanks for the clarification.

Not sure of your point, are you insinuating that he pretends to respect veterans?

He’s never tried to hide his derision towards the disabled in general and disabled veterans in particular.

To not be liked by trump should be worn like a badge of honor.

doesn’t even know what proletariat means

(Closes dictionary) What morons.

This is interesting but to make sure I’m understanding it correctly, does the last paragraph posit that the people that are representative of the shitpost cliches actually understand and are complicit in the “wink-wink” nature of the lies being passed off as legitimate information because they understand that they benefit from the goal achieved?

Like, this guy is aware of the completely baseless and disingenuous nature of their fearless god/leader and is just putting on a show?

I would hate to think that this group is as gullible and easily fooled as Trump’s cult followers are.

That’s sad, I’m sorry to hear it. 30 hours is a big chunk, how about a free online course or as BobDole suggested, some light reading?

Get outside for a while.

Why don’t you do a comparison to decide for yourself rather than nameless people giving you their often prejudiced opinion?

Media companies are owned by billionaires. They’re protecting their investments. The “News” has operated this way for decades.

As the article is 5 years old, it’s apparent that it’s a very slow meltdown.

His hair is powerful enough to run the country even in the host’s decline.

Can I ask why you can’t let them talk their nonsense? I know you don’t think you can change them so if you choose to hang out with them, why can’t you just let them be them? I’m not telling you that you should hang out with them, just that joining in on their discussion is a zero sum game.

I chose not to interact with family any longer and haven’t spoken to any of them in years. Not out of anger or spite but simply because none of us were getting anything positive from the relationship.

A lot of the comments people make are pointless, It’s part of the power of language. We all filter out the fluff without even thinking about it when we read or listen to something.

Death to Avocados

Regarding terrible people, I’ve learned throughout my life three tenets:

1. There are some truly terrible people.
2. I can’t make them less terrible.
3. The less I use social networks, the less terrible people I know about.

I don’t mean it flippantly. The internet made it too easy for me to have access to every terrible event and person in existence and that knowledge didn’t benefit me in any way. I still use it to find cool stuff and people but I view certain repositories of data off-limits personally.
